PEA-15 is a major substrate for protein kinase C (PKC) in astrocytes. In vitro phosphorylation by purified PKC occurs at a consensus site (LTRIPSAKK), and two-dimensional peptide mapping confirmed the same site is phosphorylated in intact cells. PKC mediates the transition from the less acidic (Pa) to the more acidic (Pb) isoelectric form of PEA-15. |

Endothelin-1 stimulation of astrocytes induces phosphorylation of PEA-15 at two distinct sites: Ser104 (the previously identified PKC site) and a novel site Ser116, phosphorylated by calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) but not by casein kinase II. CaMKII phosphorylation of Ser116 in vitro facilitates subsequent PKC phosphorylation at Ser104. |

PEA-15 interacts with phospholipase D1 (PLD1) and PLD2.

PEA-15 co-expression increases PLD1 protein expression levels (faster accumulation, longer persistence) without directly affecting PLD1 enzymatic activity, suggesting PEA-15 acts as a PLD chaperone/stabilizer. |

In L6 skeletal muscle cells overexpressing PED/PEA-15, PKC-α and PKC-β are constitutively activated and inhibit PKC-ζ insulin responsiveness. Blockade of PKC-α (more effectively than PKC-β) restores insulin activation of PKC-ζ and glucose uptake. Thus, PED/PEA-15 action on glucose transport is mediated through PKC-α–dependent inhibition of PKC-ζ. |

The DED surface used by PEA-15 to bind ERK2 is similar to the death domain (DD) surface used by Drosophila Tube, revealing an unexpected common docking mode. |
