Ionic strength-dependent proteolytic activation of protein kinase C by trypsin-like protease.

Protein kinase C, reversibly bound to rat liver plasma membrane through Ca2+, was activated by endogenous trypsin-like protease in an ionic strength-dependent manner. In an attempt to understand the reaction mechanism, the EGTA-extracted protein kinase C and the trypsin-like protease (Tanaka, K. et al. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 2610-2615) were separately purified from plasma membrane. In the reaction system using these purified enzymes, increasing the ionic strength with NaCl (140-210 mM) effectively enhanced the proteolytic activation of the protein kinase C in the presence of Ca2+ and phospholipid. These results suggest that ionic strength is an important factor for the proteolytic activation of membrane-bound rat liver protein kinase C.
