General annotation (Comments)

Function

Phosphorylates diacylglycerol (DAG) to generate phosphatidic acid (PA). May regulate the activity of protein kinase C by controlling the balance between these two signaling lipids. Activated in the nucleus in response to alpha-thrombin and nerve growth factor By similarity. May be involved in cAMP-induced activation of NR5A1 and subsequent steroidogenic gene transcription by delivering PA as ligand for NR5A1. Acts synergistically with NR5A1 on CYP17 transcriptional activity. Ref.8

Catalytic activity

ATP + 1,2-diacylglycerol = ADP + 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate. Ref.4

Enzyme regulation

Inactivated by binding to RHOA. Not inhibited by phosphatidylserine.

Subunit structure

Interacts with RHOA (constitutively activated, GTP-bound); the interaction inhibits DGKQ. Interacts with PRKCE. Interacts with PRKCH. Interacts with PLCB1. Interacts with NR5A1; the interaction requires the LXXLL motif 1 and LXXLL motif 2 in DGKQ. Ref.4 Ref.5 Ref.6 Ref.7 Ref.8

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm. Cell membrane. Cytoplasmcytoskeleton. Nucleus. Nucleus speckle. Note: Translocates to the nucleus in response to thrombin stimulation By similarity. Translocates to the plasma membrane in response to steroid hormone receptor stimulation. Translocation to the plasma membrane is dependent on G-protein coupled receptor stimulation and subsequent activation of PRKCE and probably PRKCH. Ref.4 Ref.5 Ref.7

Domain

The L-X-X-L-L repeats are implicated in binding to the nuclear receptor NR5A1.

Post-translational modification

Phosphorylated by PRKCE and PRKCH in vitro.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the eukaryotic diacylglycerol kinase family.

Contains 1 DAGKc domain.

Contains 3 phorbol-ester/DAG-type zinc fingers.

Contains 1 Ras-associating domain.
