Human platelets contain a large amount of Ca2+-activated, phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C). The activation of this enzyme is initiated by unsaturated diacylglycerol which results from the thrombin-induced phphosphatidylinositol hydrolysis. Protein kinase C preferentially phosphorylates in vitro a polypeptide having a MW of about 40,000 (40K protein). This protein was labeled rapidly in platelets stimulated by thrombin as well as by exogenous phospholipase C, and diacylglycerol formation always accompanies 40K protein phosphorylation. The phosphorylation of 40K protein in vivo induced by thrombin is selectively inhibited by chlorpromazine and dibucaine, which are potent inhibitors for protein kinase C. Phosphatidylinositol turnover provoked by thrombin seems to serve as a transmembrane signal for protein phosphorylation during platelet activation.
