T-lymphocyte activation via the antigen receptor complex (TCR) results in accumulation of p21ras in the active GTP-bound state. Stimulation of protein kinase C (PKC) can also activate p21ras, and it has been proposed that the TCR effect on p21ras occurs as a consequence of TCR regulation of PKC. To test the role of PKC in TCR regulation of p21ras, a permeabilized cell system was used to examine TCR regulation of p21ras under conditions in which TCR activation of PKC was blocked, first by using a PKC pseudosubstrate peptide inhibitor and second by using ionic conditions that prevent phosphatidyl inositol hydrolysis and hence diacylglycerol production and PKC stimulation. The data show that TCR-induced p21ras activation is not mediated exclusively by PKC. Thus, in the absence of PKC stimulation, the TCR was still able to induce accumulation of p21ras-GTP complexes, and this stimulation correlated with an inactivation of p21ras GTPase-activating proteins. The protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor herbimycin could prevent the non-PKC-mediated, TCR-induced stimulation of p21ras. These data indicate that two mechanisms for p21ras regulation coexist in T cells: one PKC mediated and one not. The TCR can apparently couple to p21ras via a non-PKC-controlled route that may involve tyrosine kinases.

Abstract The era of structure-based protein kinase inhibitor design began in the early 1990s with the determination of crystal structures of protein kinase A (PKA, or cyclic AMP-dependent kinase). Although many other protein kinases have since been extensively characterized, PKA remains a prototype for studies of protein kinase active conformations. It serves well as a model for the structural properties of AGC subfamily protein kinases, clarifying inhibitor selectivity profiles. Its reliable expression, constitutive activity, simple domain structure, and reproducible crystallizability have also made it a useful surrogate for the discovery of inhibitors of both established and emerging AGC kinase targets.
