芫花酯甲是蛋白激酶C Phorbol esters受体的特异性拮抗剂

本文用DE-52离子交换、Sephadex G-200凝胶过滤和phenyl-Sepharose亲和层析等柱层析,从大鼠脑中分离和纯化蛋白激酶C,并应用~3H-phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate(~3H-PdBu)结合蛋白激酶C的试验方法,研究了芫花酯甲对蛋白激酶C的结合特性。芫花酯甲对Ca~(2+),PS激活蛋白激酶C催化组蛋白Ⅲ-s磷酸化无任何影响,但它可以完全拮抗在同样测试系统中PdBu对蛋白激酶C的激动作用,结果提示芫花酯甲与PdBu作用在蛋白激酶C的相同部位,是后者的特异性拮抗剂。     

Yuanhuacin A Is a Selective Antagonist of Phorbol Ester Receptor in Protein Kinase C

Protein kinase C with a molecular weight of 82 kD has been purified to electrophoresis homogenous from rat brain through a series of chromatography columns including DE-52, Sepharose G-200 and phenyl-Sepharose. The enzyme possessed autophosphorylation activity. Yuanhuacin A inhibited the ~3H-phorbol-12, 13-dibutyrate (~3H-PdBu) binding of PKC with an IC_(50) value of 1.48±0.28×10~(-8) mol/L when the concentration of ~3H-PdBu was 1.5×10~(-9) mol/L (K_i=1.2×10~(-8) mol/L). Yuanhuacin A inhibited the PdBu-stimulated PKC activity in the catalysis of the phosphorylation of Histone Ⅲ-S with an IC_(50) of 2.82±0.37×10~(-9) mol/L (PdBu=10~(-6) mol/L), while it had no effect on the basal and Ca~(2+)-stimulated PKC activity in the same assay system. This result suggests that Yuanhuacin A is a selective antagonist of the phorbol ester receptor in protein kinase C.
