The PTH activates both adenylate cyclase and a mechanism that increases membrane-associated protein kinase-C (PKC) activity. To define the hormone's PKC activation domain we have used a panel of PTH fragments and ROS 17/2 rat osteosarcoma cells as the target cells. PTH equally and maximally increased PKC activity in ROS 17/2 cell membranes at physiological concentrations between 1-50 pM and 5-50 nM, but not at intermediate concentrations or concentrations above 50 nM. The PKC- stimulating picomolar concentrations of PTH did not stimulate adenylate cyclase in ROS 17/2 cells, while the PKC-stimulating nanomolar concentrations of the hormone did stimulate adenylate cyclase, with an EC50 of 1-2 nM. Very high concentrations of PTH, such as 100 nM, that did not increase membrane PKC activity were still able to maximally stimulate adenylate cyclase. PTH fragments lacking the N-terminal amino acids needed for adenylate cyclase activation increased membrane PKC activity, and the PKC activation domain was found to lie within the 28- 34 region of the PTH molecule. This was confirmed by showing that optimally effective picomolar concentrations of the human PTH-(28-34) fragment itself were able to increase membrane-associated PKC activity to the same extent as the optimally effective picomolar concentrations of the intact PTH-(1-84) or the larger PTH-(1-34) or PTH-(3-34) fragments.
