| Abstract | Tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) stimulates a number of signal transduction pathways in which phospholipases produce lipid second messengers. However, the immediate molecular targets of these messengers, in particular those of ceramide and arachidonic acid (AA) and their role in TNF signaling are not well defined. In this study we investigated the relationship of ceramide and AA in regulating an atypical PKC isozyme, PKC zeta. U937 cells responding to TNF-alpha treatment with NF kappa B activation displayed enhanced phosphorylation of PKC zeta, which is already detectable 30 s after stimulation. [14C]ceramide specifically binds to and regulates kinase activity of PKC zeta in a biphasic manner. Binding studies indicate high and low affinity binding with bmax values of 60 and 600 nM and Kd values of 7.5 and 320 nM respectively. At ceramide concentrations as low as 0.5 nM an up to 4-fold increase in autophosphorylation is obtained, which, at concentrations > 60 nM, again declines to basal levels. Interestingly, AA competes for ceramide binding and inhibits basal and ceramide-stimulated PKC zeta kinase activity at < 100 nM. Metabolism of [14C]ceramide in cells is slow and is inhibited in the presence of equimolar concentrations of lyso-phosphatidylcholine. Based on the bifunctional modulation of PKC zeta by the lipid messengers ceramide and AA, a model of TNF signal pathways is suggested in which PKC zeta takes a central position, acting as a molecular switch between mitogenic and growth inhibitory signals of TNF-alpha. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
