Using an N-bromosuccinimide cleavage fragment of histone H1 as a relatively specific substrate for protein kinase C, we evaluated the partitioning of this kinase activity between soluble and particulate cellular fractions in 3T3-L1 fibroblasts. In confluent, serum-deprived cells, protein kinase C activity was approximately equally divided between soluble and detergent-extractable particulate fractions; both rapidly growing and transformed cells appeared to contain higher levels of particulate enzyme activity. Soluble protein kinase C activity and immunoreactivity decreased to virtually undetectable levels after exposure of the cells to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), associated with a commensurate increase in particulate kinase activity and immunoreactivity. In intact cells, PMA appeared to cause a shift of immunoreactive protein kinase C from the cytosol to the perinuclear region, as assessed by immunofluorescent microscopy; however; subcellular fractionation revealed that PMA caused increases in the protein kinase C activity associated primarily with non-nuclear membranes. Exposure of the cells to sn-1,2-dioctanoylglycerol resulted in a modest and transient membrane association of protein kinase C, whereas platelet-derived growth factor, fibroblast growth factor, and bombesin caused no detectable increases in the membrane association of the kinase. Activation of protein kinase C by growth factors in fibroblasts may occur without the gross disturbances in intracellular kinase location which occur in response to phorbol esters.
