pubmed-article:3474155 | pubmed:abstractText | Three lipid A derivatives (hexaacyl monophosphoryl lipid A, hexaacyl diphosphoryl lipid A, and disaccharide precursor IVA) were shown to activate protein kinase C from rabbit brain. These derivatives substituted for phosphatidylserine in a concentration-dependent manner and did not compete for binding of [3H]phorbol dibutyrate to its receptor site. Instead, phorbol dibutyrate binding was increased on raising the concentration of the derivatives in a similar manner to phosphatidylserine. The phorbol ester 12-0-tetra-decanol 13-acetate augmented the activation of protein kinase C by the lipid A derivatives. | lld:pubmed |
