Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Protein kinase C (PKC) family is a multi-domain protein consists of N-terminal regulatory domains (C1 and C2 domain) and C-terminal kinase domain, and regulates a wide range of biological processes. In cytoplasm, PKC is thought to be autoinhibited by the interaction between regulatory domains and the kinase domain. Recently, the full-length crystal structure of PKCbII was reported. However, in this crystal structure, the C1A domain was not observed and the C2 domain was influenced by the crystal packing interaction. Therefore, the domain orientation and the interactions between the domains of PKC are still elusive. In this study, we are trying to determine the structures of full-length PKC proteins, PKCalpha and PKCtheta, and investigate the regulation mechanism using long-range distance information derived from PRE detected by solution hetero-nuclear NMR.
