cDNA clone encoding Xenopus laevis PKN has been isolated from Xenopus kidney library. Sequencing of this clone has revealed a single open reading frame encoding a protein of 901 amino acids. Immunoprecipitate from cytoplasmic fraction of COS7 cells transfected with this cDNA construct using antiserum against bacterially expressed Xenopus PKN revealed arachidonic acid-dependent autophosphorylation activity. Comparison of the closely related sequences of human and rat PKN with a protein from evolutionarily distant Xenopus, revealed several highly invariant domains in the NH2-terminal regulatory regions, suggesting that they participate in binding interaction with arachidonic acid.
