On the basis of extensive structure-function studies of protein kinase C-Cy (PRC-OL), We have proposed an activation mechanism for conventional PKCs in which the C2 domain and the C1 domain interact sequentially with membranes (Medkova, M., and Cho, W. (1999) J. Biol Chem. 274, 19852-19881), To further elucidate the interactions between the C1 and C2 domains during PKC activation and the origin of phosphatidylserine specificity, we mutated several charged residues in two CI domains (Cla and Gib) of PHC-alpha. We then measured the membrane binding affinities, activities, and monolayer penetration of these mutants. Results indicate that cationic residues of the C1a domain, most notably Arg(77), interact nonspecifically with anionic phospholipids prior to the membrane penetration of hydrophobic residues. The mutation of a single aspartate (Asp(55)) in the C1a domain to Ala or Lys resulted in dramatically reduced phosphatidylserine specificity in vesicle binding, activity, and monolayer penetration. In particular, D55A showed much higher vesicle affinity, activity, and monolayer penetration power than wild type under nonactivating conditions, i.e. with phosphatidylglycerol and in the absence of Ca2+, indicating that Asp(55) in involved in the tethering of the Cia domain to another part of PKC-alpha, which keeps it in an inactive conformation at the resting state, Based on these results, we propose a refined model for the activation of conventional PKC, in which phosphatidylserine specifically disrupts the C1a domain tethering by competing with Asp(55), which then leads to membrane penetration and diacylglycerol binding of the Cia domain and PKC activation.
