We observe that protein kinase C (PKC) is phosphorylated on the activation loop at threonine 538 (Thr-538) before T cell activation. Our results are inconsistent with the conclusions of Lee et al. (Reports, 1 April 2005, p. 114) that the Thr-538 phosphorylation of PKC is regulated by T cell receptor activation. Other mechanisms, such as autophosphorylation of Thr-219, might orchestrate the cellular function of PKC in T cells.
我们观察到,在T细胞激活之前,蛋白激酶C(PKC)在激活环的苏氨酸538(Thr-538)位点发生磷酸化。我们的结果与Lee等人(《报告》,2005年4月1日,第114页)得出的结论不一致,他们认为PKC的Thr-538磷酸化受T细胞受体激活的调节。其他机制,如Thr-219的自磷酸化,可能在T细胞中协调PKC的细胞功能。
