The C1 domains of novel PKCs mediate the diacylglycerol-dependent translocation of these enzymes. The four different C1B domains of novel PKCs (delta, epsilon, theta and eta) were studied, together with different lipid mixtures containing acidic phospholipids and diacylglycerol or phorbol ester. The results show that either in the presence or in the absence of diacylglycerol, C1B epsilon and C1B eta exhibit a substantially higher propensity to bind to vesicles containing negatively charged phospholipids than C1B delta and C1B theta. The observed differences between the C1B domains of novel PKCs (in two groups of two each) were also evident in RBL-2H3 cells and it was found that, as with model membranes, in which CI Be and ClBq could be translocated to membranes by the addition of a soluble phosphatidic acid without diacylglycerol or phorbol ester, CIB delta and C1B theta were not translocated when soluble phosphatidic acid was added, and diacylglycerol was required to achieve a detectable binding to cell membranes. It is concluded that two different subfamilies of novel PKCs can be established with respect to their propensity to bind to the cell membrane and that these peculiarities in recognizing lipids may explain why these isoenzymes are specialized in responding to different triggering signals and bind to different cell membranes.
