Summary: Exposure of rat glioma C6 cells to the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPk) caused an activation of protein kinase C wherein the enzyme rapidly became membrane-bound (TQ of 15 min). This translocation of protein kinase C from cytosol to membrane was followed by a sequestration of cell surface 8-adrenergic receptors and a loss of isoproterenol-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. We had reported previously that prior exposure of rat glioma cells to concanavalin A prevents the TPA-mediated sequestration of receptors and desensitization of adenylate cyclase (Kassis et al., 1985). We now show that the concanavalin A treatment also prevents the translocation and activation of protein kinase C. These results are further evidence that in the TPA-treated cells, sequestration of 8-adrenergic receptors is mediated by membrane-bound protein kinase C.

Assay of Protein Kinase C - Cytosolic and membrane-bound protein kinase C activity was assayed as described previously (4). Briefly, the cells were washed and scraped in phosphate-buffered saline and pelleted by centrifugation at 1000 x g for 10 min. The pellet was homogenized in Solution A and centrifuged at 100,000 x g for 1 h to obtain a cytosolic fraction (4). The pellet was suspended in Solution A and both fractions were adjusted to contain 1% Triton X-100, kept on ice for 30 min and centrifuged at 100,000 x g for 1 h. The supernatants were further purified on DEAE-cellulose columns as described previously (4) except EGTA was omitted from the buffer. Protein kinase C activity was determined as described previously (4) using a modification of the method of Kikkawa et al. (6).

Rat glioma C6 cells were exposed to 100 nM TPA for the indicated times. After the cells were washed, harvested and collected by centrifugation, cytosolic (0) and particulate (0) fractions were prepared and assayed for protein kinase C activity as described under "MATERIALS AND MHPHODS." Values are expressed as percent of activity in control cells (see Table II for typical values) and are from a representative experiment. Similar results were obtained in a second experiment. Figure
