PKC assay.
PKC activity was assayed by quantitation of 32P incorporation from [γ32P]-ATP into the substrate, MARCKSPSD peptide, by using lysates from HMVEC-Ls treated with Tat for the indicated times. The 32P-incorporated substrates were precipitated with TCA plus BSA, and the amount of radioactivity in the precipitates was measured by Cherenkov counting.
