Abstract excerpt
Protein kinase C(alpha) (PKC(alpha)) is a key enzyme regulating the physiology of cells and their growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. PKC activity is known to be modulated by all-trans retinoic acid (atRA), although neither the action mechanism nor even the possible binding to PKCs has been established. Crystals of the C2-domain of PKC(alpha), a regulatory module in the protein that binds Ca(2+) and acidic...
