Abstract excerpt
The protein kinase C (PKC)-MAPK signaling cascade is activated and is essential for viability when cells are starved for the phospholipid precursor inositol. In this study, we report that inhibiting inositol-containing sphingolipid metabolism, either by inositol starvation or treatment with agents that block sphingolipid synthesis, triggers PKC signaling independent of sphingoid base accumulation. Under these...
