pubmed:abstractText
We have studied the effects of a synthetic peptide that is based on the autoinhibitory domain of protein kinase C on tension development in detergent-permeabilized coronary artery smooth muscle. This peptide inhibited two forms of protein kinase C that were isolated from the coronary artery media layer by hydroxylapatite chromatography, with apparent Ki values in the 5-8 microM range. Contractions induced by calcium in the permeabilized arteries were not affected by the peptide (30 microM). Potentiation of calcium-induced contractions by 1 microM phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate was partially inhibited by 10 microM peptide and was completely abolished by 30 microM peptide. These results indicate that phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate potentiates calcium-induced contractions of permeabilized coronary arteries by activation of protein kinase C, but activated protein kinase C is not a requirement for the induction of contractions by calcium alone.
