ABSTRACT
Recently, we characterized a surface antigen (Z-1) of guinea pig macrophages by monoclonal anti-Z-1 antibody. The Z-1 antigen consists of two different polypeptide chains; alpha (140 kDa) and beta (95 kDa). This antigen is closely correlated with the phagocytic activity of the cells for zymosan and presumably functions as a receptor for zymosan. In the present study, the effect of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) on the function of Z-1 was examined. Incubation of ortho-[32P]phosphate-labeled macrophages with PMA greatly increased the phosphorylation of the beta subunit of Z-1 but not that of the alpha subunit. Optimal phosphorylation was observed when cells were incubated with 300 ng/ml of PMA for 60-120 min. The PMA-induced phosphorylation was markedly suppressed by treatment of the macrophages with H-7, an inhibitor of protein kinase C. A chemotactic peptide, N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP) also caused phosphorylation of the beta subunit. Unlike PMA, fMLP maximized the phosphorylation within 30 s. Purified Z-1 was an excellent substrate for the exogenously added protein kinase C only in the presence of both Ca2+ and phosphatidylserine. H-7 completely inhibited the in vitro phosphorylation. These data suggest that the beta subunit of Z-1 is phosphorylated by protein kinase C. The phosphorylation of Z-1 by PMA and fMLP coincided with inhibition of zymosan phagocytosis. A linear relationship was obtained between the level of phosphorylation of Z-1 and the degree of inhibition of zymosan phagocytosis induced by PMA. Thus, the results suggest that zymosan uptake is negatively regulated by protein kinase C-mediated phosphorylation of the beta subunit of Z-1.
