Abstract excerpt
Conventional protein kinase C (cPKC) isozymes tune the signaling output of cells, with loss-of-function somatic mutations associated with cancer and gain-of-function germline mutations identified in neurodegeneration. PKC with impaired autoinhibition is removed from the cell by quality-control mechanisms to prevent the accumulation of aberrantly active enzyme. Here, we examine how a highly conserved residue in...
