文摘
Protein phosphorylation is the regulatory mechanism of many cellular events in response to changes in metabolic activity and environmental conditions. Seeing that PKC and TdT levels in cells are both regulated by PMA, we sought particularly intriguing to investigate TdT phosphorylation in vivo, utilizing KM-3 cells, a TdT-positive human pre-B cell line treated with PMA and in vitro, employing purified PKC and human recombinant TdT. Our data show that TdT is a substrate for PKC activity, suggesting that TdT phosphorylation could play a key role in the pathway affecting the control of gene transcription and protein synthesis during lymphoid cells differentiation.
