Abstract excerpt
The C1 domains are 50 amino acid sequences present in protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes that are responsible for binding of phorbol esters and the lipid second messenger diacylglycerol (DAG). We found that bacterially expressed C1b domain of PKCdelta induces germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) when microinjected into Xenopus laevis oocytes. Injection of the C1b domain of PKCdelta significantly enhanced insulin- but...
