A putative protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, phenylarsine oxide (PAO), potentiated phospholipase D (PLD) activity concentration-dependently in [3H] oleic acid-labeled rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-2H3) cells without significant increase in phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) activity. Although PAO induced tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins, both PAO-induced PLD activation and tyrosine phosphorylation were not affected by a protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor, genistein. Another tyrosine kinase inhibitor, herbimycin A, prevented the PAO-induced PLD stimulation but had no effect on protein tyrosine phosphorylation. However, depletion of protein kinase C (PKC) greatly reduced PAO-stimulated PLD activity. These results indicate that PKC but not tyrosine kinase may be involved in PAO-mediated PLD activation.

The intracellular localization of protein kinase C (PKC) is important for the regulation of its biological activity. Recently, it was reported that, whereas phorbol esters such as PMA induce prolonged translocation of PKC to the plasma membrane, with physiological stimuli, the translocation of PKC is transient and followed by rapid return to the cytoplasm. In addition, this membrane dissociation of PKC was shown to require both the kinase activity of PKC and the phosphorylation of its carboxyl terminus autophosphorylation sites. However, the detailed molecular mechanism of PKC reverse translocation remains obscure. We demonstrated that in porcine polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMNs), phenylarsine oxide (PAO), a putative protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) inhibitor, induced reverse translocation of PMA-stimulated PKCbetaII. Hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) in combination with vanadate, both of which are PTPase inhibitors, also induced reverse translocation of PKCbetaII. H(2)O(2) or vanadate alone had little effect on PMA-induced PKCbetaII translocation. Furthermore, genistein and ethanol, which are inhibitors of tyrosine kinase and phospholipase D, respectively, prevented the PKCbetaII reverse translocation induced by the PTPase inhibitors. These results indicate, for the first time, that the tyrosine phosphorylation/phospholipase D pathway may be involved in the process of membrane dissociation of PKC.
