Opis

Since the discovery that protein kinase C (PKC) transduces the ab- dance of signals that result in phospholipid hydrolysis, this enzyme has been at the forefront of research in signal transduction. Protein Kinase C Protocols covers fundamental methods for studying the structure, function, regulation, subcellular localization, and macromolecular interactions of PKC. Protein Kinase C Protocols is divided into 11 sections representing the major aspects of PKC regulation and function. Part I contains an introduction and a historical perspective on the discovery of PKC by Drs. Yasutomi Nishizuka and Ushio Kikkawa. Part II describes methods to purify PKC. Part III describes the standard methods for measuring PKC activity: its enzymatic activity and its stimulus-dependent translocation from the cytosol to the membrane. Part IV describes methods for measuring the membrane interaction of PKC in vivo and in vitro. Part V provides methodologies and techniques for measuring the ph- phorylation state of PKC, including a protocol for measuring the activity of PKC s upstream kinase, PDK-1. Novel methods for identifying substrates are described in Part VI. Part VII presents protocols for expressing and analyzing the membrane targeting domains of PKC. Part VIII provides a comprehensive c- pilation of methods used to identify binding partners for PKC. Part IX describes pharmacological probes used to study PKC. The book ends with a presentation of genetic approaches to study PKC (Part X) and a discussion of approaches used to study PKC in disease (Part XI)."

Protein kinase C impacts on nearly every aspect of signal transduction, placing it at the forefront of research in how cells transduce information. In Protein Kinase C Protocols, leading investigators from academia and industry present a comprehensive collection of classical and emerging laboratory techniques for the study of this influential protein, all optimized for successful and reproducible results. Described in step-by-step detail, these methods can be easily used to explore the structure, function, regulation, subcellular localization, and macromolecular interactions of protein kinase C. Included in this collection are easy-to-follow techniques to purify protein kinase C, to measure its activity and its membrane interaction in vivo and in vitro, and to identify substrates. There are also methodologies and techniques for measuring the phosphorylation state of protein kinase C, for expressing and analyzing the membrane-targeting domains of protein kinase C, and for detecting binding proteins. Additional chapters address pharmacological probes, genetic approaches, and protein kinase C in disease. Each protocol is introduced in the context of protein kinase C function and regulation and contains many notes on how best to deal with the problems that may occur.
Comprehensive and authoritative, Protein Kinase C Protocols offers a timely compilation of biophysical, biochemical, cell biological, and molecular biological approaches that will ensure successful results in every laboratory working in this rapidly advancing field.
