Chromatinized Protein Kinase C-θ: Can It Escape the Clutches of NF-κB?

Abstract: We recently provided the first description of a nuclear mechanism used by Protein Kinase C-theta (PKC-θ) to mediate T cell gene expression. In this mode, PKC-θ tethers to chromatin to form an active nuclear complex by interacting with proteins including RNA polymerase II, the histone kinase MSK-1, the demethylase LSD1, and the adaptor molecule 14-3-3ζ at regulatory regions of inducible immune response genes. Moreover, our genome-wide analysis identified many novel PKC-θ target genes and microRNAs implicated in… Show more

“…This is consistent with active PKC-acting within the nucleus as part of an active transcription complex on inducible genes enriched in the mesenchymal state and elevated in CSCs. The data are also consistent with our recent report showing that PKC-exists as a chromatin-tethered adapter protein on immune responsive genes and is important for inflammatory responses (38). An accessible chromatin configuration prevails in the mesenchymal state across the proximal promoter of key inducible genes such as CD44 and is enriched in an active chromatin complex consisting of NF-B, PKC-, and Pol II-associated complex, which is conducive to enhanced CD44 transcription (see Fig.…”

“…To ascertain the contribution of nuclear PKC-in CSC-inducible-gene regulation, we utilized previously validated PKC-wildtype (WT) and nuclear localization sequence (NLS) constructs (38). We observed reduced nuclear localization of PKC-in NLS mutant-transfected MCF-7 cells ( high /CD24 low CSCs compared to PKC-WT constructs in MCF-IM cells (Fig.…”

“…The SPT‐like motif appears to reside close to where the regulatory and kinase/catalytic domains are and deletions in the regulatory or kinase domains of PKC are shown to affect nuclear translocation . Mutation studies substituting the SPT motif in PKC θ with an alternative motif that cannot be phosphorylated impaired the localization of PKC θ to the nucleus, suggesting that phosphorylation of SPT is required for nuclear translocation . Interestingly, mutating the putative NLS motif has no effect on the distribution of PKC in the cell, suggesting that the SPT‐like motif may be an alternative NLS motif used by signalling kinases that do not have the canonical NLS for nuclear transport .…”

“…In addition to phosphorylating histones, PKC can also interact with and phosphorylate histone modifiers (Table ). Specifically in the immune system, PKC θ not only has a cytoplasmic signalling role during TCR activation, it is also present in the nucleus of T cells to regulate transcription of inducible immune genes . In stimulated human Jurkat T cells, PKC θ associates with the N‐terminal transcriptional activation domain of p300 and phosphorylates S384 on p300 leading to its transcriptional activation .…”
