Stafford, Steve P. Watson, and Catherine J. Pears From the Department of Biochemistry, University of Oxford, Oxford, United Kingdom, and the Department of Pharmacology, University of Oxford, Oxford, United Kingdom. Protein kinase D (PKD, also known as PKCµ) is closely related to the protein kinase C superfamily but is differentially regulated and has a distinct catalytic domain that shares homology with Ca2+-dependent protein kinases. PKD is highly expressed in hematopoietic cells and undergoes rapid and sustained activation upon stimulation of immune receptors. PKD is regulated through phosphorylation by protein kinase C (PKC). In the present study, we show that PKD is expressed in human platelets and that it is rapidly activated by receptors coupled to heterotrimeric G-proteins or tyrosine kinases. Activation of PKD is mediated downstream of PKC. Strong agonists such as convulxin, which acts on GPVI, and thrombin cause sustained activation of PKC and PKD, whereas the thromboxane mimetic U46619 gives rise to transient activation of PKC and PKD. Activation of PKD by submaximal concentrations of phospholipase C-coupled receptor agonists is potentiated by Gi-coupled receptors (eg, adenosine diphosphate and epinephrine). This study shows that PKD is rapidly activated by a wide variety of platelet agonists through a PKC-dependent pathway. Activation of PKD enables phosphorylation of a distinct set of substrates to those targeted by PKC in platelets. © 2003 by The American Society of Hematology.   CiteULike    Connotea    Del.icio.us    Digg    Reddit    Technorati    What's this?
