Protein kinase C (PKC) has been implicated in the control of intercellular adhesion. Our previous observation demonstrating that activated PKC alpha (PKC
) is selectively targeted to cell-cell contacts of pituitary GH3B6 cells supports these findings. The relevance of this observation is further strengthened by the present data establishing that this targeting selectivity also occurs in the pituitary gland. Moreover, a new mechanism involved in the control of PKC targeting is unravelled. We demonstrate that a three amino acid motif located in the V3 region of and epsilon (
) (GDE/GEE respectively) is essential for the targeting selectivity of these isoforms because: (1) this motif is absent in delta (
) and mutated in the natural D294G-PKC mutant, which do not exhibit such selectivity, and (2) a GEE to GGE mutation abolishes the selectivity of targeting to cell-cell contacts for , as it does for the D294G PKC mutant. Thus the GD(E)E motif may be part of a consensus sequence able to interact with shuttle and/or anchoring proteins. GFP-tagged deletion mutants also reveal a new function for the pseudosubstrate in the cytoplasmic sequestration. Together, these data underline the complexity of PKC subcellular targeting in the pituitary, determined by the cell-cell contact, at least for and .
