Isozymes of protein kinase C in human neutrophils and their modification by two endogenous proteinases

Two major protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes, accounting for approximately 95% of the total activity in human neutrophils, were separated by hydroxyapatite chromatography and were identified as beta-PKC (60% of the total) and alpha-PKC (35% of the total). No gamma-PKC was detected. A minor Ca2+/phospholipid requiring kinase that eluted from hydroxyapatite after alpha-PKC did not react significantly with any of the specific antisera employed for identification. Modification of beta- PKC or the minor PKC isozyme by calpain yielded Ca2+/phospholipid- independent forms (PKM) that retained only 50% of the original activities. In contrast, PKM formed from alpha-PKC retained full catalytic activity. For each native isozyme the rate of conversion by calpain was accelerated in the presence of Ca2+ and the lipid effectors, and the PKM form generated in each case was resistant to further digestion by calpain. All three PKC isozymes were also modified by a neutral serine proteinase isolated from human neutrophils, with this proteinase the major effect being loss of kinase activity, via a transient production of a Ca2+/phospholipid-independent form. This neutral serine proteinase appears to be localized at sites of interaction of cytoskeletal proteins with the cell membrane. Following stimulation of intact neutrophils with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate complete loss of native cytosolic kinase activity was observed, with recovery of approximately 30% of the original activity as a cytosolic Ca+/phospholipid independent form, presumably PKM. Loss of native PKC activity was greatest for the beta-isozyme. In cells stimulated by fMet- Leu-Phe approximately 60% of the original PKC activity was recovered as native cytosolic PKC and 30% as cytosolic PKM. Inhibitors of calpain reduced the extent of down-regulation of PKC, increased the proportion of PKC that remained associated with the plasma membrane and significantly reduced the proteolytically generated fully active PKM. Taken together, the in vitro and in vivo results suggest that calpain is involved primarily in the conversion of the PKC isozymes to the irreversibly activated PKM forms, and that the neutral serine proteinase may be the enzyme responsible for down-regulation, possibly via PKM as an intermediate.
