Abstract excerpt
A major protein kinase C substrate, MacMARCKS (F52, MPR), was examined for its role in phagocytosis. In macrophage-phagocytosing zymosan particles, MacMARCKS was concentrated around nascent phagosomes as detected by immunofluorescent microscopy. The effector domain of MacMARCKS contains the phosphorylation sites, a calmodulin binding site, as well as a putative actin binding site. Stable J774 macrophage cell...
