A mixed micellar assay was used to study the in vitro binding of [3H]phorbol-12, 13-dibutyrate ([3H]PDBu) to pure recombinant protein kinase C (PKC)-alpha, -beta 1, -beta 2, -gamma, -delta, -epsilon, and - zeta isotypes expressed in the baculovirus/insect cell system. Scatchard analysis revealed that all isotypes except PKC-zeta were able to specifically bind PDBu, with Kd values ranging from 1.6 to 18 nM in the presence of calcium. In the absence of calcium PKC-alpha, -beta 1, - beta 2, and -delta were observed to have a 2-3-fold drop in affinity, although Bmax values remained unchanged, at a stoichiometry of 1.4-2.8 mol of PDBu/mol of enzyme. Competition with specific [3H]PDBu binding was assessed for the phorbol esters PDBu, 12-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-O- acetate, 12-deoxyphorbol-13-O-phenylacetate, 12-deoxyphorbol-13-O- phenylacetate-20-acetate, thymeleatoxin, resiniferatoxin, and sapintoxin A. Resiniferatoxin and 12-deoxyphorbol-13-O-phenylacetate-20- acetate were found to compete effectively only with PDBu bound to the PKC-beta 1 and -beta 2 isotypes and were the least potent of the phorbol esters tested (IC50, > 5 microM). The phorbol esters sapintoxin A, 12-deoxyphorbol-13-O-phenylacetate, 12-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-O- acetate, and PDBu (in order of potency) competed for binding to all isotypes (IC50 values ranging from 2 to 70 nM), with unchanged or slightly decreased potency when calcium was replaced by ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid. Thymeleatoxin, which was similar in other respects to these potent phorbol esters, was found to be less able to compete with binding to PKC-alpha and -epsilon isotypes (IC50, 3-5 microM). It appears that, whereas the binding of phorbol esters to PKC depends primarily on the C20 substituent, other areas of the molecule have an influence on this interaction and the PKC isotypes themselves display heterogeneity in their phorbol ester- binding characteristics.
