At micromolar concentrations, zinc (Zn) and cadmium, but not other metals, greatly augmented binding of [3H]phorbol dibutyrate ([3H]PDBu) to protein kinase C (PKC) in cell homogenates and intact cells (in the presence of ionophore). Increased binding persisted for several hours. The heavy-metal chelating agent 1,10-phenanthroline completely reversed the increased [3H]PDBu binding in cells pretreated with 65Zn and ionophore and this was associated with a decline of about 20% in cell-associated 65Zn, suggesting that a relatively small pool of intracellular Zn acts on PKC. This may be a membrane-associated pool, since 65Zn readily bound to isolated erythrocyte inside-out membranes. Phenanthroline also partially inhibited binding of [3H]PDBu to PKC in untreated cells and extracts in a Zn-reversible manner. Therefore, cellular Zn appears to regulate the interaction of ligand with PKC. PKC bound to a Zn affinity column and was eluted by metal-chelator, confirming that Zn interacts directly with PKC.
