Interaction of protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes with phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) was investigated by monitoring the changes in the intrinsic fluorescence of the enzyme, the kinase activity, and phorbol ester binding. Incubation of PKC I, II, and III with PIP2 resulted in different rates of quenching of PKC fluorescence and different degrees of inactivation of these enzymes. Other inositol-containing phospholipids such as phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate also caused differential rates of quenching of the intrinsic fluorescence of these enzymes. These latter two phospholipids were, however, less potent in the inactivation of PKCs than PIP2. The IC50 of PIP2 were 2, 4, and 11 microM for PKC I, II, and III, respectively. Inactivation of PKCs by PIP2 cannot be reversed by extensive dilution of PIP2 with Nonidet P-40 nor by digestion of PIP2 with phospholipase C. Interaction of PIP2 with the various PKC isozymes was greatly facilitated in the presence of Mg2+ or Ca2+ as evidenced by the accelerated quenching of the PKC fluorescence, however, these divalent metal ions protected PKC from the PIP2-induced inactivation. Binding of PIP2 to PKC in the absence of divalent metal ion also caused a reduction of [3H]phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate binding as a result of reducing the affinity of the enzyme for phorbol ester. Based on gel filtration chromatography, it was estimated that one molecule of PKC interacted with one PIP2 micelle with an aggregation number of 80-90. The PIP2-bound PKC could further interact with phosphatidylserine in the presence of Ca2+ to form a larger complex. Binding of PKC to both PIP2 and phosphatidylserine in the presence of Ca2+ was also evident by changes in the intrinsic fluorescence of PKC. As the interaction of PKC with PIP2, but not with phosphatidylserine, could be enhanced by millimolar concentrations of Mg2+, we propose that PIP2 may be a component of the membrane anchor for PKC under basal physiological conditions when [Ca2+]i is low and Mg2+ is plentiful. Under the in vitro assay conditions, PIP2 could stimulate PKC activity to a level approximately 10-20% of that by diacylglycerol. The stimulatory effect of PIP2 on PKC apparently is not due to binding to the same site recognized by diacylglycerol or phorbol ester, because PIP2 cannot effectively compete with phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate in the binding assay.
