Abstract

Sulfatide (cerebroside sulfate) activated protein kinase C to the same extent as phosphatidylserine did with the tumor promoters, 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), teleocidin and debromo-aplysiatoxin. Sulfatide and phosphatidylserine both induced specific binding of [3H]TPA to protein kinase C, although the ratios of specific to non-specific [3H]TPA binding to protein kinase C with the two were not the same. It is concluded that sulfatide is involved in activation of protein kinase C by tumor promoters in a slightly different way from phosphatidylserine.
