TL;DR

Potyphosphoinositide Phorbol ester Protein kinase C tetrahydrolysis-like activity is reported at elevated levels in the presence of Na6(CO3)(SO4)2, Na2SO4, and Na2CO3 at low temperatures through the stationary phase.

Abstract

The phorbol esters are among the most potent tumor promoters. On addition of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) to isolated human platelets prelabelled with [32P]orthophosphate we found a rapid increase in 32P incorporation into phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. In view of similar findings with cells infected with the oncogene Rous sarcoma virus, it is suggested that inositol lipid phosphorylation might be a key event in the molecular action of phorbol esters.
