PKD (PRKD1) is a novel phorbol ester and diacylglycerol-stimulated serine/threonine protein kinase. A bacterially expressed NH2-terminal domain exhibited high affinity phorbol ester binding (Kd = 35 nM). The catalytic domain phosphorylates the peptide substrate syntide-2 on serine. Phorbol esters and diacylglycerol in the presence of phospholipids stimulate syntide-2 kinase activity and autophosphorylation in COS cells. Substrate specificity differs from PKC family members. |

PKD is activated in living cells through a PKC-dependent signal transduction pathway. Phorbol esters, membrane-permeant DAG, and serum growth factors rapidly induced PKD activation. PKC inhibitors (GF I and Ro 31-8220) completely abrogated cellular PKD activation but did not inhibit PKD activity when added directly in vitro. Co-transfection with constitutively active PKCε and PKCη (but not PKCζ) strongly induced PKD activation in COS-7 cells via phosphorylation. |

PKCμ (PRKD1) associates with the B cell antigen receptor (BCR) complex, co-precipitating with Syk and PLCγ1/2. BCR cross-linking activates PKCμ in a Syk-dependent and partially Btk-dependent manner. In vitro phosphorylation showed Syk and PLCγ1 are potential PKCμ substrates. PKCμ can down-regulate Syk-mediated phosphorylation of PLCγ1 in vitro, suggesting a negative feedback role. |

PKD directly phosphorylates threonines T654 and T669 of the EGF receptor. PDGF (but not EGF) activates PKD in Rat-1 cells. PKD-mediated dual phosphorylation of EGFR T654/T669 suppresses EGF-induced JNK activation. An EGFR mutant (T654/669E) mimicking phosphorylation was incapable of activating JNK. Overexpression of PKD in glioblastoma cells blocked EGF- and PDGF-induced JNK activation. |

PKD is present in the cytosol of quiescent B cells and mast cells and rapidly translocates to the plasma membrane upon antigen receptor triggering. Membrane redistribution requires the DAG-binding domain but is independent of catalytic activity and PH domain integrity. Membrane targeting is transient (returns to cytosol within 10 min), yet the membrane-recycled PKD remains active in the cytosol for several hours, establishing spatiotemporal dissemination of antigen receptor signals. |

PKD is rapidly activated in intestinal epithelial cells (IEC-6, IEC-18) by phorbol esters, lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), and angiotensin II through a PKC-dependent pathway. LPA-induced PKD activation is prevented by pertussis toxin, indicating Gi coupling. PKD activation is tightly associated with autophosphorylation at serine 916. PKD does not undergo downregulation after prolonged phorbol ester treatment, unlike conventional/novel PKCs. |

Golgi localization of PKCμ (PRKD1) requires both the NH2-terminal hydrophobic region and the cysteine-rich region; deletion of either completely abrogates Golgi localization. The NH2-terminal PKCμ fragment is sufficient for Golgi membrane association. Golgi recruitment is constitutive, rapid, and independent of activation loop phosphorylation or kinase activity. A sequential activation process occurs: Golgi recruitment precedes and is required for activation loop phosphorylation (Ser738/742) by a trans-acting kinase, followed by auto- and transphosphorylation of NH2-terminal serines. |

PKD (PKCμ) is expressed in human platelets and rapidly activated by receptors coupled to heterotrimeric G-proteins or tyrosine kinases. PKD activation in platelets is mediated downstream of PKC. Strong agonists (convulxin via GPVI, thrombin) cause sustained PKD activation; thromboxane mimetic U46619 causes transient activation. Gi-coupled receptor agonists potentiate PKD activation by submaximal PLC-coupled agonist concentrations. |

Compromising PKCη kinase activity inhibits protein transport from TGN to cell surface. Constitutively active PKCη caused Golgi fragmentation that was inhibited by kinase-inactive PKD, placing PKD downstream of PKCη in the vesicle-generating pathway. |

The C1b domain of PKD isoforms binds phorbol esters with high affinity, while the C1a domain has non-consensus residues that mainly contribute to structural fold rather than ligand binding. C1a and C1b in intact C1a-C1b of PKD1 show opposite selectivity for phorbol esters (PDBu) and DAG (DOG). A conserved lysine at position 22 in C1b accounts for weaker DAG affinity. Mutation of C1a in full-length PKD3-GFP reduces DOG-induced plasma membrane translocation but not PMA-induced translocation. |

PKD activates PI4KIIIβ (phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase IIIβ) at the TGN to promote PI4P production. PI4P then recruits OSBP and CERT which control sphingolipid and sterol levels. PKD subsequently phosphorylates OSBP and CERT to dissociate them from TGN. This drives sequential DAG→PA→LPA lipid conversion necessary for membrane fission to generate cell surface transport carriers. |

PKD controls mitotic Golgi fragmentation via a Raf-MEK1 pathway. siRNA depletion of PKD1 and PKD2 causes G2 cell cycle arrest and prevents mitosis entry.
