Protein Kinase C-{theta} Mediates a Selective T Cell Survival Signal Via Phosphorylation of BAD1

Martin Villalba2, Paul Bushway and Amnon Altman2

Division of Cell Biology, La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology, San Diego, CA 92121

Protein kinase C (PKC)-activating phorbol esters protect T cells from Fas-induced apoptosis. However, the mechanism of this protective effect and the identity of the relevant PKC isoform(s) are poorly understood. Here, we show that PKC{theta} plays a selective and important role in this protection. Fas triggering led to a selective caspase-3-dependent cleavage of the enzyme and proteasome-mediated degradation and inactivation of its catalytic fragment. These events preceded the onset of apoptosis. Pharmacological inhibition of PKC{theta} promoted Fas-mediated apoptosis in three different types of T cells. Conversely, constitutively active PKC{theta} (and, to a lesser degree, PKC{epsilon}) selectively protected T cells from Fas-induced apoptosis. We provide evidence that the distant Bcl-2 family member, BAD, is a PKC{theta} substrate, is phosphorylated by TCR stimulation, and can mediate at least in part the anti-apoptotic effect of PKC{theta}.
