Abstract excerpt
PKCtheta plays an essential role in activation of mature T cells. Here, we report that the TCR/CD28-induced tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of PLCgamma1 was significantly impaired in PKCtheta (-/-) primary, restimulated T cells. Consistent with this finding, receptor-induced Ca(2+) mobilization, NF-AT DNA-binding activity and the membrane translocation of PKCalpha, a PLCgamma1-dependent conventional PKC,...
