Abstract

We investigated the effects of enzyme phosphorylation in vitro on the properties of diacylglycerol kinase. Diacylglycerol kinase and protein kinase C, both present as Mr-80,000 proteins, were highly purified from pig thymus cytosol. Protein kinase C phosphorylated diacylglycerol kinase (up to 1 mol of 32P/mol of enzyme) much more actively than did cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. Phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated diacylglycerol kinase showed a similar pI, approx. 6.8. Diacylglycerol kinase phosphorylated by either protein kinase C or cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase was almost exclusively associated with phosphatidylserine membranes. In contrast, soluble kinase consisted of the non-phosphorylated form. The catalytic properties of the lipid kinase were not much affected by phosphorylation, although phosphorylation-linked binding with phosphatidylserine vesicles resulted in stabilization of the enzyme activity.
