Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: The linoleic acid derivative DCP-LA selectively and directly activates PKCε. The present study aimed at understanding the mechanism of DCP-LA-induced PKCε activation. METHODS: Point mutation in the C2-like domain on PKCε was carried out, and each kinase activity was monitored in PC-12 cells using a föerster resonance energy transfer (FRET) probe with cyan fluorescent protein (CFP) and yellow...
