Abstract: The powerful regulatory machinery of protein phosphorylation operates in the extracellular environment of the brain. Enzymatic activity with the catalytic specificity of protein kinase C (PKC) was detected on the surface of brain neurons, where it can serve as a direct target for neurotrophic and neurotoxic substances that control neuronal development and cause neurodegeneration. This activity fulfilled all the criteria required of an ectoprotein kinase (ecto‐PK). Detailed analysis of surface protein phosphorylation in cultured brain neurons using specific exogenous substrates (casein, histones, and myelin basic protein), inhibitors (PKC‐pseudosubstrate 19–36; K252b) and antibodies (anti‐PKC catalytic region M.Ab.1.9, antibodies to the carboxy‐terminus of eight PKC isozymes) revealed several types of ecto‐PK activity, among them ecto‐PKs with catalytic specificity of the PKC isozymes ζ and δ. The activity of the neuronal ecto‐PKC is constitutive and not stimulated by phorbol esters. The phosphorylation of a 12K/13K surface protein duplex by ecto‐PKC‐δ was found to be developmentally regulated, with peak activity occurring during the onset of neuritogenesis. Alzheimer's amyloid peptides β1–40 and β25–35 applied at neurotrophic concentrations stimulated the phosphorylation of endogenous substrates of ecto‐PKC activity in brain neurons but inhibited specifically this surface phosphorylation activity with the same dose‐response relationships that cause neurodegeneration. As may be expected from a relevant pathophysiological activity, β‐amyloid peptide 1–28 did not inhibit this surface phosphorylation. The discovery that ecto‐PKC‐mediated protein phosphorylation serves as a target for β‐amyloid peptides at the very site they operate, i.e., at the neuronal cell surface, opens a new research direction in the investigation of molecular events that play a role in the etiology of developmental disabilities and neurodegenerative disorders.
