<p>In this study we describe the synthesis and characterization of novel diacylglycerol (DAG)-lactones that bind to protein kinase C (PKC). DAG-lactones proved to be useful templates for the design of potent and selective C1 domain ligands. The ester moiety at <i>sn-1</i> position, a common feature in this template, is relevant for interaction with the PKC C1 domains, although it represents a labile group susceptible to endogenous esterases. Our studies identified the DAG-lactone 10B12 with an isozazole ring as a nanomolar affinity PKC ligand. This compound shows preferential selectivity for PKCepsilon, and strongly activates actin cytoskeleton reorganization into peripheral ruffles in cancer cells, an effect mediated by PKCepsilon. Therefore, introducing a stable isoxazole ring as an ester surrogate in DAG-lactones emerges as a novel structural approach to achieve PKC selectivity.</p><div><br></div>

The C1 domains in protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes and other signaling molecules are responsible for binding the lipid second messenger diacylglycerol and phorbol esters, and for mediating translocation to membranes. Previous studies revealed that the C1 domain in α- and β-chimaerins, diacylglycerol-regulated Rac-GAPs, interacts with the endoplasmic reticulum/Golgi protein p23/Tmp21. Here, we found that p23/Tmp21 acts as a C1 domain-docking protein that mediates perinuclear translocation of β2-chimaerin. Glu227 and Leu248 in the β2-chimaerin C1 domain are crucial for binding p23/Tmp21 and perinuclear targeting. Interestingly, isolated C1 domains from individual PKC isozymes differentially interact with p23/Tmp21. For PKCε, it interacts with p23/Tmp21 specifically via its C1b domain; however, this association is lost in response to phorbol esters. These results demonstrate that p23/Tmp21 acts as an anchor that distinctively modulates compartmentalization of C1 domain-containing proteins, and it plays an essential role in β2-chimaerin relocalization. Our study also highlights the relevance of C1 domains in protein–protein interactions in addition to their well-established lipid-binding properties.

Investigation of γ-hydroxymethyl-γ-butyrolactone substituents as protein kinase C ligands, in an effort to develop small molecule-based regulators with higher specificity for C1 domain than the endogenous ligand, diacylglycerols.
