In the active conformation, PKCs bind a variety of interactors – adaptors or scaffolds, binding partners that can also be substrates and others in order to fulfill many cellular tasks. Among adaptors are Rack1 and 2 as well as Pick1. Others include Fyn, pericentrin, fascin, Lck and Btk of which the last three are also substrates in that they need to be PKC-phosphorylated to be activated. In the case of Btk, mutual phosphorylation controls the activities of both kinases: PKC-phosphorylated and activated Btk provides a negative feedback relay that inhibits PKC. For more details see references PMID 15380937, 11607837, 18491053. The interactors are listed by PKC group with aliases in parentheses, full names and links to gene report pages:
