Treatment of cells with tumor-promoting phorbol esters results in
the activation but then depletion of phorbol ester-responsive protein
kinase C (PKC) isoforms. The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway has been
implicated in regulating the levels of many cellular proteins,
including those involved in cell cycle control. We report here that in
3Y1 rat fibroblasts, proteasome inhibitors prevent the depletion of PKC
isoforms
,
, and
in response to the tumor-promoting phorbol
ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA).
Proteasome inhibitors also blocked the tumor-promoting effects of TPA
on 3Y1 cells overexpressing c-Src, which results from the depletion of
PKC
. Consistent with the involvement of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in the degradation of PKC isoforms, ubiquitinated PKC
,
,
and
were detected within 30 min of TPA treatment. Diacylglycerol, the physiological activator of PKC, also stimulated ubiquitination and
degradation of PKC, suggesting that ubiquitination is a physiological response to PKC activation. Compounds that inhibit activation of PKC
prevented both TPA- and diacylglycerol-induced PKC depletion and
ubiquitination. Moreover, a kinase-dead ATP-binding mutant of PKC
could not be depleted by TPA treatment. These data are consistent with
a suicide model whereby activation of PKC triggers its own degradation
via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.
