摘要:
Post-translational modification of proteins by deamidation or transamidation by tissue transglutaminase (tTG) has been suggested as a possible mechanism for the development of autoimmunity. Sequence analysis of protein kinase C delta (PKC delta) identified an amino acid motif that suggested the possibility that PKC delta was a glutamine substrate of tTG and MALDI-TOF analysis of synthesised peptides from PKC delta proved that this was the case. Polymerisation experiments using recombinant tTG and biotinylated hexapeptide substrate incorporation assays demonstrated that PKC delta is a substrate for tTG-mediated transamidation. Elevated levels of anti-PKG delta antibodies were detected in sera from patients with coeliac disease (p<0.0001) but not from patients with other autoimmune disorders. These data suggest that a subset of patients with coeliac disease produce autoantibodies against PKC delta and that this response may stem from a tTG PKC delta substrate interaction.
