Function

Calcium- and diacylglycerol-independent serine/ threonine-protein kinase that plays a general protective role against apoptotic stimuli, is involved in NF-kappa-B activation, cell survival, differentiation and polarity, and contributes to the regulation of microtubule dynamics in the early secretory pathway. Is necessary for BCR-ABL oncogene-mediated resistance to apoptotic drug in leukemia cells, protecting leukemia cells against drug-induced apoptosis. In cultured neurons, prevents amyloid beta protein-induced apoptosis by interrupting cell death process at a very early step. In glioblastoma cells, may function downstream of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI(3)K) and PDPK1 in the promotion of cell survival by phosphorylating and inhibiting the pro-apoptotic factor BAD. Can form a protein complex in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells with PARD6A and ECT2 and regulate ECT2 oncogenic activity by phosphorylation, which in turn promotes transformed growth and invasion. In response to nerve growth factor (NGF), acts downstream of SRC to phosphorylate and activate IRAK1, allowing the subsequent activation of NF-kappa-B and neuronal cell survival. Functions in the organization of the apical domain in epithelial cells by phosphorylating EZR. This step is crucial for activation and normal distribution of EZR at the early stages of intestinal epithelial cell differentiation. Forms a protein complex with LLGL1 and PARD6B independently of PARD3 to regulate epithelial cell polarity. Plays a role in microtubule dynamics in the early secretory pathway through interaction with RAB2A and GAPDH and recruitment to vesicular tubular clusters (VTCs). In human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAEC), is activated by saturated fatty acids and mediates lipid-induced apoptosis. Involved in early synaptic long term potentiation phase in CA1 hippocampal cells and short term memory formation (By similarity).

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. PKC subfamily.

Post-translational modifications

Phosphorylation at Thr-412 in the activation loop is not mandatory for activation (By similarity). Upon neuronal growth factor (NGF) stimulation, phosphorylated by SRC at Tyr-265, Tyr-280 and Tyr-334 (PubMed:11713277, PubMed:16452474). Phosphorylation at Tyr-265 facilitates binding to KPNB1/importin-beta regulating entry of PRKCI into the nucleus (PubMed:11891849). Phosphorylation on Tyr-334 is important for NF-kappa-B stimulation (PubMed:11713277). Phosphorylated at Thr-564 during the initial phase of long term potentiation (By similarity).

Activity summary

Protein Kinase C (PKC) iota also known by its gene symbol PRKCI is an atypical member of the PKC family. It has a molecular mass of approximately 74 kDa. PKC iota does not respond to calcium and is insensitive to diacylglycerol and phorbol esters which differentiates it from other classical PKC family members. The protein initiates cell survival and proliferation pathways and is primarily expressed in brain heart liver and skeletal muscle tissues indicating its extensive role across various biological functions.

Biological function summary

PKC iota acts as an important player in regulating cell polarity and protecting cells from stress-induced apoptosis. It forms part of the Par6-Par3-PKC iota complex which is important for maintaining cell polarity and directional migration. This complex is essential for neural tube closure during embryonic development and in establishing cell polarity across diverse cell types. PKC iota also contributes to the regulation of microtubule organization reinforcing its vital role in maintaining cellular architecture.

Pathways

PKC iota is important in the NF-kB signaling pathway and the PI3K/AKT pathway. In the NF-kB pathway PKC iota activates IkB kinase leading to NF-kB transcriptional activity which promotes cell survival. In the PI3K/AKT pathway PKC iota contributes to cell growth and survival working closely with AKT proteins. These pathways highlight its involvement in processes like proliferation survival and cellular response to external stimuli.

Associated diseases and disorders

PKC iota has a significant connection to cancer and neurological disorders. Its overexpression has been observed in several cancers such as lung and prostate cancer where it is often associated with poor prognosis. PKC iota’s role in the maintenance of cell polarity and survival links it to malignant cell behavior. Additionally in neurological disorders like Alzheimer’s disease alterations in PKC iota activity have been related to synaptic dysfunctions. Connections to proteins such as AKT and NF-kB in these conditions highlight its potential as a therapeutic target.
