RESUMO
We have recently shown that the aggregation factor (AF) from the sponge Geodia cydonium stimulates DNA synthesis in quiescent, dissociated cells from the same organism; this event was correlated with the release of the two second messengers: inositol trisphosphate and diacylglycerol. Here we describe that after binding of the AF to the plasma membrane-bound aggregation receptor, a rapid and drastic increase in the incorporation of 32Pi into a series of proteins in the pore complex-lamina fraction occurs. Addition of the tumor promoter, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, to quiescent cells resulted in a similar stimulation of phosphorylation of nuclear proteins. Among them we have selected one protein with a polypeptide Mr of 170,000 (pp170) for detailed studies. By immunoblotting pp170 was identified as DNA topoisomerase II. In vitro studies with nuclei and purified, homogeneous protein kinase C together with the required activators of this enzyme also showed a phosphorylation of pp170. After phosphorylation, DNA topoisomerase II activity was found to be 2.5-fold that of the non-phosphorylated enzyme. From these data we conclude that protein kinase C is involved in AF induced transmembrane signalling, ultimately leading to an initiation of DNA synthesis.
