Abstract
Background: How atypical PKCs are maintained in an active conformation is unknown. Results: We identify an acidic surface on the aPKC scaffold, p62, that tethers the kinase's autoinhibitory pseudosubstrate to allow activity. The biologically active basic peptide, ZIP, competes for binding to this surface, resulting in localized aPKC autoinhibition. Conclusion: P62 tethers aPKCs in an active conformation. Significance: P62 is a molecular target for ZIP.
