Descriptions

Protein kinase C is a multi-module Ser/Thr protein kinase that transduces the abundance of signals resulting in phospholipid hydrolysis. Binding of diacylglycerol allosterically and reversibly activates these enzymes to affect their major role in maintaining cellular homeostasis. This allosteric regulation is precisely controlled by multiple mechanisms that ensure that the enzyme is only active for specific times at specific locations in response to specific signals.
PKC consists of a regulatory moiety (pseudosubstrate site, C1A and C1B able to bind phorbol esters and diacylglycerol, and calcium-binding C2 domain) and protein kinase domain. The kinase domain is followed by a C-Tail that is a hallmark regulatory region of AGC kinases and serves as a docking site for regulatory proteins.
The pseudosubstrate binds the substrate-binding cavity of the kinase domain and operates as an autoinhibitory segment. While the pseudosubstrate-C1A is the dominant autoinhibitory module and is necessary for the autoinhibition of all PKC family members, all domains in the regulatory module participate in a network of interactions to maintain autoinhibition.

7 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
cytoplasm The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
cytosol The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes.
mitochondrial membrane Either of the lipid bilayers that surround the mitochondrion and form the mitochondrial envelope.
nucleus A membrane-bounded organelle of eukaryotic cells in which chromosomes are housed and replicated. In most cells, the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes except the organellar chromosomes, and is the site of RNA synthesis and processing. In some species, or in specialized cell types, RNA metabolism or DNA replication may be absent.
perinuclear region of cytoplasm Cytoplasm situated near, or occurring around, the nucleus.
photoreceptor disc membrane Stack of disc membranes located inside a photoreceptor outer segment, and containing densely packed molecules of photoreceptor proteins that traverse the lipid bilayer. Disc membranes arise as evaginations of the ciliary membrane during the development of the outer segment and may or may not remain contiguous with the ciliary membrane.
plasma membrane The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins.

20 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
angiogenesis Blood vessel formation when new vessels emerge from the proliferation of pre-existing blood vessels.
apoptotic process A programmed cell death process which begins when a cell receives an internal (e.g. DNA damage) or external signal (e.g. an extracellular death ligand), and proceeds through a series of biochemical events (signaling pathway phase) which trigger an execution phase. The execution phase is the last step of an apoptotic process, and is typically characterized by rounding-up of the cell, retraction of pseudopodes, reduction of cellular volume (pyknosis), chromatin condensation, nuclear fragmentation (karyorrhexis), plasma membrane blebbing and fragmentation of the cell into apoptotic bodies. When the execution phase is completed, the cell has died.
cell adhesion The attachment of a cell, either to another cell or to an underlying substrate such as the extracellular matrix, via cell adhesion molecules.
intracellular signal transduction The process in which a signal is passed on to downstream components within the cell, which become activated themselves to further propagate the signal and finally trigger a change in the function or state of the cell.
negative regulation of glial cell apoptotic process Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate, or extent of glial cell apoptotic process.
