The relative potency with which phorbol esters inhibited histamine-stimulated aminopyrine accumulation (an index of acid secretion) paralleled that which has been established for the activation of purified protein kinase C. The inhibitory effect of 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol on aminopyrine accumulation stimulated by various secretagogues was similar to that of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate. Protein kinase C activity was present in a parietal-cell-enriched fraction. In conclusion, protein kinase C could be involved in mechanisms regulating gastric acid secretion.

Rat parotid secretory granule membranes were examined for the presence of calcium-dependent protein kinase activities and kinase substrates. Protein kinase C (C-kinase), which is stimulated by certain phospholipids, was present in the membranes, as indicated by its ability to catalyze the phosphorylation of histone. Two substrates for protein kinase C were seen in the granule membranes. The cytosolic fraction from the cell contained kinase activity, which was stimulated by phosphatidylserine and which caused the phosphorylation of two granule membrane polypeptides. In addition, when both granule membranes and cytosol were incubated together, phosphorylation of the cytosolic substrates was inhibited, indicating that the granule membrane substrates were phosphorylated preferentially. The results indicate that the granule membranes may react with cytosolic protein kinase C activity in a way which would direct an intracellular calcium and diacylglycerol signal toward the granule membrane. Since these signals occur during stimulation by various agonists, the mechanism may contribute to secretion.

N-Bromosuccinimide cleavage of a lysine-rich histone fraction (histone III-S) yields a peptide substrate, purified by reverse-phase h.p.l.c., for the Ca2+ + phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C). This substrate displays no reactivity with the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, and may prove useful for the detection of protein kinase C activity in crude tissue extracts.
