Recent evidence suggests that cyclic AMP may be involved in the regulation of epidermal proliferation and keratinization [1 -3]. The diverse biological effects of cyclic AMP are considered to be mediated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and by sequent phosphorylation of specific substrate prot

โฆ Synopsis
Endogenous calcium-activated, phospholipid-dependent protein kinase phosphorylates pig epidermal protein. Pig epidermis was homogenized and centrifuged at 30,000 X g for 30 min. The supernatant was incubated with or without calcium and phospholipid. A 97 kD soluble protein from pig epidermis was phosphorylated in the presence of calcium and phosphatidylserine. The phosphorylation reaction occurred immediately. With the use of two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, it was shown that the 97 kD fragment was a basic protein, and that several small proteins were also phosphorylated. The characterization of these proteins is yet to be undertaken.

Polychlorinated hydrocarbons known to be nongenotoxic carcinogens were screened as activators of protein kinase C (PKC)-beta 1 either at high concentrations of Ca2+ or in the absence of Ca2+ (i.e., with 1 mM ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether) N,N,N',N',-tetraacetic acid). Of those compounds
