Abstract excerpt
The C2 domain in protein kinase C (PKC) is homologous to equivalent domains in a number of important cytoplasmic proteins. Except for its implied function in Ca2+ and phospholipid binding, the precise role of this domain is not well understood. We examined the role of the C2 domain of PKC-alpha using a mutant enzyme in which 80% of this domain has been deleted. This mutant can be activated by phospholipid and...
