Function

Calcium-independent, phospholipid- and diacylglycerol (DAG)-dependent serine/threonine-protein kinase that plays essential roles in the regulation of multiple cellular processes linked to cytoskeletal proteins, such as cell adhesion, motility, migration and cell cycle, functions in neuron growth and ion channel regulation, and is involved in immune response, cancer cell invasion and regulation of apoptosis. Mediates cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix via integrin-dependent signaling, by mediating angiotensin-2-induced activation of integrin beta-1 (ITGB1) in cardiac fibroblasts. Phosphorylates MARCKS, which phosphorylates and activates PTK2/FAK, leading to the spread of cardiomyocytes. Involved in the control of the directional transport of ITGB1 in mesenchymal cells by phosphorylating vimentin (VIM), an intermediate filament (IF) protein. In epithelial cells, associates with and phosphorylates keratin-8 (KRT8), which induces targeting of desmoplakin at desmosomes and regulates cell-cell contact. Phosphorylates IQGAP1, which binds to CDC42, mediating epithelial cell-cell detachment prior to migration. In HeLa cells, contributes to hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)-induced cell migration, and in human corneal epithelial cells, plays a critical role in wound healing after activation by HGF. During cytokinesis, forms a complex with YWHAB, which is crucial for daughter cell separation, and facilitates abscission by a mechanism which may implicate the regulation of RHOA. In cardiac myocytes, regulates myofilament function and excitation coupling at the Z-lines, where it is indirectly associated with F-actin via interaction with COPB1. During endothelin-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, mediates activation of PTK2/FAK, which is critical for cardiomyocyte survival and regulation of sarcomere length. Plays a role in the pathogenesis of dilated cardiomyopathy via persistent phosphorylation of troponin I (TNNI3). Involved in nerve growth factor (NFG)-induced neurite outgrowth and neuron morphological change independently of its kinase activity, by inhibition of RHOA pathway, activation of CDC42 and cytoskeletal rearrangement. May be involved in presynaptic facilitation by mediating phorbol ester-induced synaptic potentiation. Phosphorylates gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit gamma-2 (GABRG2), which reduces the response of GABA receptors to ethanol and benzodiazepines and may mediate acute tolerance to the intoxicating effects of ethanol. Upon PMA treatment, phosphorylates the capsaicin- and heat-activated cation channel TRPV1, which is required for bradykinin-induced sensitization of the heat response in nociceptive neurons. Is able to form a complex with PDLIM5 and N-type calcium channel, and may enhance channel activities and potentiates fast synaptic transmission by phosphorylating the pore-forming alpha subunit CACNA1B (CaV2.2). In prostate cancer cells, interacts with and phosphorylates STAT3, which increases DNA-binding and transcriptional activity of STAT3 and seems to be essential for prostate cancer cell invasion. Downstream of TLR4, plays an important role in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced immune response by phosphorylating and activating TICAM2/TRAM, which in turn activates the transcription factor IRF3 and subsequent cytokines production. In differentiating erythroid progenitors, is regulated by EPO and controls the protection against the TNFSF10/TRAIL-mediated apoptosis, via BCL2. May be involved in the regulation of the insulin-induced phosphorylation and activation of AKT1. Phosphorylates NLRP5/MATER and may thereby modulate AKT pathway activation in cumulus cells (PubMed:19542546). Phosphorylates and activates LRRK1, which phosphorylates RAB proteins involved in intracellular trafficking (PubMed:36040231).

Activity summary

Protein kinase C epsilon (PKC epsilon) also known as PKCε or epsilon protein is an important serine/threonine kinase involved in various cellular processes. It has a molecular weight of about 87 kDa. PKC epsilon is widely expressed in different tissues prominently in the brain heart skeletal muscle and endocrine tissues. It belongs to the novel PKC subfamily that responds to diacylglycerol and phospholipids without requiring calcium for activation.

Biological function summary

PKC epsilon plays roles in regulating cell survival migration and apoptosis. It is involved in forming signalling complexes with proteins such as receptor for activated C kinase (RACK) and frequently associates with scaffolding proteins. PKC epsilon contributes to the modulation of cytoskeletal reorganization exocytosis and neurotransmitter release impacting cellular communication and function significantly.

Pathways

PKC epsilon is integrated into significant signalling cascades including the MAPK/ERK and PI3K/Akt pathways. These pathways influence cell proliferation differentiation and survival. PKC epsilon interacts with proteins like Raf-1 and Akt further modulating signals for cellular responses. Its activity and interactions within these pathways highlight its importance in maintaining cellular homeostasis.

Associated diseases and disorders

PKC epsilon has connections to cancer and cardiovascular diseases. It plays a part in oncogenic processes such as tumorigenesis and metastasis often working alongside proteins like PI3K in these contexts. In cardiovascular conditions PKC epsilon influences cardiac hypertrophy and ischemic heart damage. Its role associating with proteins such as endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) illustrates its involvement in disease mechanisms where blood flow and myocardial function are affected.
