( B ) expression of recombinant WT-PKCα and mutants D463H and D463N kinase domains after TEV cleavage of full-length recombinant PKCα. The fraction used for the experiments is highlighted in red. Kinase activities were measured using the ADP-Glo method (C-F). ( C ) Recombinant full-length PKCα activity in vitro on protamine sulphate. The kinase activity of WT is of 523 nmol/min/mg. No activity is detected for both D463 mutants ( D ) Recombinant full-length PKCα activity measured in vitro on a peptide substrate (257 nmol/min/mg on PPSS). There is no unspecific ATPase activity unless at very high saturating PKCα concentration. ( E ) PKCα recombinant isolated kinase domain activity in vitro measured on a peptide substrate. The kinase activity of WT kinase domain is of about 300 nmol/min/mg. No activity is measured for both D463 mutants. ( F ) Co-precipitation of associated PKCα substrates using DARPin pull down of GFP-tagged PKCα WT and mutants expressed in U87MG cells. The substrates ladder is detected by western blot using two different anti phospho-PKCα substrate specific antibodies (pPKCA sub and pPKCA multimab in green). The expression of PKCα is visible (red) using an anti GFP antibody. The phosphorylation of the associated substrates is only detected upon in vitro kinase assay using Mg-ATP, calcium, and lipids activators (phosphatidyl serine). The mutants of the residue D463 do not have kinase activity and do not show specific substrates’ bands phosphorylation. ( G ) Co-precipitation of associated PKCα substrates using DARPin pull down of GFP-tagged WT-PKCα and mutants expressed in U87MG cells. Unlike WT, no substrates’ phosphorylation (WB pPKCA sub) can be detected with the mutants D463H and D463N upon kinase assay.

( B ) expression of recombinant WT-PKCα and mutants D463H and D463N kinase domains after TEV cleavage of full-length recombinant PKCα. The fraction used for the experiments is highlighted in red. Kinase activities were measured using the ADP-Glo method (C-F). ( C ) Recombinant full-length PKCα activity in vitro on protamine sulphate. The kinase activity of WT is of 523 nmol/min/mg. No activity is detected for both D463 mutants ( D ) Recombinant full-length PKCα activity measured in vitro on a peptide substrate (257 nmol/min/mg on PPSS). There is no unspecific ATPase activity unless at very high saturating PKCα concentration. ( E ) PKCα recombinant isolated kinase domain activity in vitro measured on a peptide substrate. The kinase activity of WT kinase domain is of about 300 nmol/min/mg. No activity is measured for both D463 mutants. ( F ) Co-precipitation of associated PKCα substrates using DARPin pull down of GFP-tagged PKCα WT and mutants expressed in U87MG cells. The substrates ladder is detected by western blot using two different anti phospho-PKCα substrate specific antibodies (pPKCA sub and pPKCA multimab in green). The expression of PKCα is visible (red) using an anti GFP antibody. The phosphorylation of the associated substrates is only detected upon in vitro kinase assay using Mg-ATP, calcium, and lipids activators (phosphatidyl serine). The mutants of the residue D463 do not have kinase activity and do not show specific substrates’ bands phosphorylation. ( G ) Co-precipitation of associated PKCα substrates using DARPin pull down of GFP-tagged WT-PKCα and mutants expressed in U87MG cells. Unlike WT, no substrates’ phosphorylation (WB pPKCA sub) can be detected with the mutants D463H and D463N upon kinase assay.

    ( A ) U87MG cells expressing transiently GFP-PKCα wild-type and mutants are treated with PMA up to 24 h. Panel (a) the time course decrease in the phosphorylation of the HM motif (pS657) and GFP-PKCα expression upon PMA is detected by western blot with a phospho-specific antibody (green) and an anti-GFP antibody (red). Panel (b) shows the steady state phosphorylation of the three PKCα WT and mutants activation sites (T-loop, TM and HM) prior to PMA stimulation. A one way Anova was used to calculate the significance of the variation between WT and mutants(n=3). Panel (c) shows the decrease in HM phosphorylation upon PMA treatment and an unpaired t-test was used to compare the HM phosphorylation of D463N vs D463H (p-values*) or WT (p-values # ) (n=3). The data in (b) and (c) are expressed as a percentage of decrease relative to the WT signal. ( B )Schematic representation of the life cycle of PKCα upon activation or PMA treatment. PKCα is in an autoinhibited inactive state but in a fully phosphorylated (primed) conformation prior to stimulation. Upon activation the protein translocates to the plasma membrane where the regulatory domains (C1A/C1B and C2) bind to the lipids where PKCα becomes fully active when the pseudo substrate (PSS) is ejected from the catalytic site. The open conformation becomes substrate for the phosphatase that dephosphorylate the priming sites and renders PKCα prone to degradation. ( C ) U87MG cells expressing transiently Myc-PKCα wild-type and mutants are treated with PMA up to 24 h. Panel (a) The time course decrease in the phosphorylation of the turn motif (pT638 TM) and expression of Myc-PKCα upon PMA is detected by western blot with a phospho-specific and anti-Myc antibody. Panel (b) shows the steady state phosphorylation of the three activation sites (T-loop, TM) and HM) of WT-PKCα and mutants prior to PMA. A one way Anova was used to calculate the significance of the variation between WT and D463H or D463N (n=3). Panel (c) shows the decrease in TM phosphorylation upon PMA treatment (n=3).

The soluble and insoluble fractions were analysed by western blot using an anti Myc antibody to calculate the absolute amount of protein upon degradation. An unpaired t-test was used to calculate the significance of the changes between WT and D463H or D463N (p-values*) or D463H vs D463N (p-values # ). ( E ) Soluble and insoluble fractions were also analysed by western blot using an anti pS657 (HM) and the stoichiometry of HM phosphorylation was calculated for each PKCα and mutants. An unpaired t-test was used to calculate the significance of the changes in the soluble and insoluble fractions. In all the experiments the significance was assessed using a t-test P<0.05 (*), P<0.01 (**), P<0.001(***), P<0.0001 (****).

IC50 values (panels B and D) were calculated separately for each biological replicate and data are presented as the mean +/- standard deviation, with significance assessed by one-way ANOVA compared to the parental control. P<0.05 (*), P<0.01 (**), P<0.001), P<0.0001 (****); n=3. ( E ) Schematic of PKCα and D463H mutant kinase-independent signalling. In the basal catalytically autoinhibited state (Regulatory/Catalytic domains interact), PKCa cannot interact with downstream effector(s); for simplicity this state is indicated as a nucleotide free state (apo) although this is not necessarily the case. On allosteric activation triggering an open conformation, the kinase domain can load ATP, and the ATP-bound state is competent to bind downstream effector(s). In some specific cellular contexts for example in tanycytes and chondrocytes, the formation of a PKCa/effector complex drives a proliferative signal which is switched off through kinase activity-dependent effector release (conformation/stability change). In this model, a tumour promoter such as PMA promotes sustained allosteric activation of the kinase pushing the equilibrium towards a higher effector bound steady state. In the case of the loss-of-activity, gain-of-function D463H mutant that still retains an ATP-bound active conformation, the lack of catalytic activity prevents the normal physiological release of the effector (red cross), sustaining complex formation. The maintenance of the stable PKCa D463H-Effector complex triggers a persistent proliferative output (see text for further discussion).
