The transport of proteins from the secretory to the endocytic pathway is mediated by carrier vesicles coated with the AP-1 Golgi assembly proteins and clathrin. The mannose 6-phosphate receptors (MPHs) are two major transmembrane proteins segregated into these transport vesicles. Together with the GTPase ARF-1, these cargo proteins are essential components for the efficient translocation of the cytosolic AP-1 onto membranes of the trans-Golgi network, the first step of clathrin coat assembly, MPR-negative fibroblasts have a low capacity of recruiting AP-1 which can be restored by re-expressing the MPRs in these cells. This property was used to identify the protein motif of the cation-dependent mannose 6-phosphate receptor (CD-MPR) cytoplasmic domain that is essential for these interactions. Thus, the affinity of AP-1 for membranes and in vivo transport of cathepsin D were measured for MPR-negative cells re-expressing various CD-MPR mutants. The results indicate that the targeting of lysosomal enzymes requires the CD-PDR cytoplasmic domain that are different from tyrosine-based endocytosis motifs. The first is a casein kinase II phosphorylation site (ESEER) that is essential for high affinity binding of AP-1 and therefore probably acts as a dominant determinant controlling CD-MPR sorting in the trans-Golgi network. The second is the adjacent di-leucine motif (HLLPM), which, by itself, is not critical for AP-1 binding, but is absolutely required for a downstream sorting event.

Two forms of phospholipase D (PLD) have been found to be present in nuclei isolated from rat hepatocytes by measuring phosphatidylbutanol produced from exogenous radiolabeled phosphatidylcholine in the presence of butanol. In nuclear lysates from either rat liver or ascites hepatoma AH 7974 cells, the PLD activity was markedly stimulated by a recombinant ADP-ribosylation factor (rARF) in the presence of the guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTPgammaS) and phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate. ATP and phorbol-12-myristate 13-acetate had no synergistic effect on this PLD activity. On the other hand, the nuclear PLD was stimulated by unsaturated fatty acids, especially by oleic acid. The ARF-dependent nuclear PLD activity was increased in the S-phase of the regenerating rat liver after partial hepatectomy and also was much higher in AH 7974 cells than in the resting rat liver. In contrast, the levels of the oleate-dependent PLD activity remained constant throughout the cell cycle in liver regeneration. The intranuclear levels of the stimulating proteins of the nuclear PLD activity, e.g. ARF, RhoA, and protein kinase Cdelta increased in the S-phase of the regenerating liver. These results suggested that the nuclear ARF-dependent PLD activity may be associated with cell proliferation.

The human phospholipase D1 (hPLD1) has recently been cloned. Although recent data have implicated PLD in receptor-stimulated secretion, the regulation of the activity of PLD enzymes remains to be clarified. Purified hPLD1 is activated by several cytosolic cofactors among which are protein kinase Calpha, ARF, and RhoA. In human granulocytes, a strong correlation between tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins and PLD activity has been established. In this study, the presence of hPLD1 in HL-60 granulocytes and its phosphorylation on tyrosine residues have been studied. We generated antipeptide antibodies (Abs) specific for hPLD1 but not PLD2 as shown by Western blotting (WB) of recombinant PLD1 and PLD2. These Abs identified the presence of hPLD1 in HL-60 cells with the bulk of it being detected in the membranes and only a minor fraction in the cytosol. The hPLD1 Abs detected a major band at 120 kDa (PLD1a) and a minor band at 115 kDa (PLD1b). The specificity of the Abs was confirmed using PLD antisera neutralized with the immunizing peptides. The two forms of hPLD1 were consistently detected by immunoprecipitation under nondenaturing and denaturing conditions following a WB analysis with hPLD1 Abs. Following exposure of HL-60 cells to peroxides of vanadate (V4+-OOH), an inhibitor of tyrosine phosphatases, hPLD1 was immunoprecipitated under nondenaturing conditions from HL-60 cell lysates and assayed for tyrosine phosphorylation by WB. hPLD1 comigrated with a 120-kDa tyrosine phosphorylated protein by gel electrophoresis. Other tyrosine-phosphorylated peptides of 160, 140, 135, 90, and 75-80 kDa were also detected in hPLD1 immune complexes. hPLD1 and the associated tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins were not immunoprecipitated by neutralized hPLD1 Abs. Using denaturing conditions, the PLD immunoprecipitates were sequentially immunoblotted with anti-PLD1 and anti-phosphotyrosine Abs. PLD1a and PLD1b were detected, and the major PLD1a protein was superimposable with a major tyrosine-phosphorylated protein detected at 120 kDa. Conversely, PLD1a and PLD1b were recovered, at least in part, in the anti-phosphotyrosine immunoprecipitates. These results provide evidence that two PLD1 forms are expressed in human granulocytes. Furthermore, in response to stimulation by V4+-OOH, PLD1 was tyrosine-phosphorylated and associated with several, presently undefined, tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins.

We examined the pathways that link neurotransmitter receptor activation and cell cycle arrest in oligodendrocyte progenitors. We had previously demonstrated that glutamate receptor activation inhibits oligodendrocyte progenitor proliferation and lineage progression. Here, using purified oligodendrocyte progenitors and cerebellar slice cultures, we show that norepinephrine and the beta-adrenergic receptor agonist isoproterenol also inhibited the proliferation, but in contrast to glutamate, isoproterenol stimulated progenitor lineage progression, as determined by O4 and O1 antibody staining. This antiproliferative effect was specifically attributable to a beta-adrenoceptor-mediated increase in cyclic adenosine monophosphate, since analogs of this cyclic nucleotide mimicked the effects of isoproterenol on oligodendrocyte progenitor proliferation, while alpha-adrenoceptor agonists were ineffective. Despite the opposite effects on lineage progression, both isoproterenol and the glutamate receptor agonist kainate caused accumulation of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors p27(Kip1)and p21(CIP1), and G1 arrest. Studies with oligodendrocyte progenitor cells from INK4a-/- mice indicated that the G1 cyclin kinase inhibitor p16(INK4a) as well as p19(ARF)were not required for agonist-stimulated proliferation arrest. Our results demonstrate that beta-adrenergic and glutamatergic receptor activation inhibit oligodendrocyte progenitor proliferation through a mechanism that may involve p27(Kip1) and p21(CIP1); but while neurotransmitter-induced accumulation of p27(Kip1) is associated with cell cycle arrest, it does not by itself promote oligodendrocyte progenitor differentiation.

Neural cell development is regulated by membrane ion channel activity. We have previously demonstrated that cell membrane depolarization with veratridine or blockage of K+ channels with tetraethylammonium (TEA) inhibit oligodendrocyte progenitor (OP) proliferation and differentiation (); however the molecular events involved are largely unknown. Here we show that forskolin (FSK) and its derivative dideoxyforskolin (DFSK) block K+ channels in OPs and inhibit cell proliferation. The antiproliferative effects of TEA, FSK, DFSK, and veratridine were attributable to OP cell cycle arrest in G1 phase. In fact, (1) cyclin D accumulation in synchronized OP cells was not affected by K+ channel blockers or veratridine; (2) these agents prevented OP cell proliferation only if present during G1 phase; and (3) G1 blockers, such as rapamycin and deferoxamine, mimicked the anti-proliferative effects of K+ channel blockers. DFSK also prevented OP differentiation, whereas FSK had no effect. Blockage of K+ channels and membrane depolarization also caused accumulation of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors p27(Kip1) and p21(CIP1) in OP cells. The antiproliferative effects of K+ channel blockers and veratridine were still present in OP cells isolated from INK4a-/- mice, lacking the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors p16(INK4a) and p19(ARF). Our results demonstrate that blockage of K+ channels and cell depolarization induce G1 arrest in the OP cell cycle through a mechanism that may involve p27(Kip1) and p21(CIP1) and further support the conclusion that OP cell cycle arrest and differentiation are two uncoupled events.

We have cloned and sequenced a SEC7-related gene in Paramecium tetraurelia that contains an open reading frame for 1135 amino acids encoding a 133 kDa protein, PSec7. Sec7, first identified in vesicular trafficking mutants in yeast, and its phylogenetic homologues function as guanine-nucleotide exchange factors for small G-proteins such as ARF (ADP-ribosylation factor). The deduced amino acid sequence in PSec7 for the motifs that form the ARF binding site are more than 70% identical to yeast Sec7 and similarly identical to ARNO, the human ARF exchange factor, with correct positioning of the critical glutamic acid residue within the motif region. Overall, the identity of PSec7 to yeast Sec7 is 32%. The deduced amino acid sequence also has five sequences that resemble IQ motifs, EF hand binding domains found in all myosins, and two pleckstrin homology domains. Similar sequences are present in yeast Sec7 and other Sec7-related molecules. A protein kinase A phosphorylation site may also be present. Southern blots suggest that a single gene encodes PSec7. Northern blots show that the message encoding PSec7 is induced on deciliation, followed by ciliogenesis, which suggests a role for PSec7 in cilia such as transport or targeting of ciliary membrane components.

The rapid production of phosphatidic acid following receptor stimulation has been demonstrated in a wide range of mammalian cells. Virtually every cell uses phosphatidylcholine as substrate to produce phosphatidic acid in a controlled reaction catalyzed by specific PLD isoforms. Considerable effort has been directed at studying the regulation of PLD activities and subsequent work has characterized a family of proteins including PLD1 and PLD2. Whereas both PLD enzymes are dependent on phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate for activity only the PLD1 isoform was strongly stimulated by the small GTPases ARF and RhoA and by protein kinase Calpha as well. A role for tyrosine kinase activities in the membrane recruitment of small GTPases, in the synthesis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and tyrosine phosphorylation of PLD1 and PLD2 has been uncovered. However, it still not clear exactly how tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins contributes to PLD activation in cells. Here we review the data linking tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins to the activation of PLD and describe recent finding on the sites and possible mechanisms of action of tyrosine kinases in receptor-mediated PLD activation. Finally, a model illustrating the potential complex interplay linking these signaling events with the activation of PLD is presented.

A senescence-like growth arrest is induced in mouse primary embryo fibroblasts by inhibitors of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K). We observed that senescence-like growth arrest is correlated with an increase in p27(Kip1) but that down-regulation of other cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors, including p15(INK4b), p16(INK4a), p19( INK4d), and p21(Cip1) as well as other negative cell cycle regulators such as p53 and p19(ARF), implies that this senescence-related growth arrest is independent of the activity of p53, p19(ARF), p16(INK4a), and p21(Cip1), which are associated with replicative senescence. The p27(Kip1) binds to the cyclin/CDK2 complexes and causes a decrease in CDK2 kinase activity. We demonstrated that ectopic expression of p27(Kip1) can induce permanent cell cycle arrest and a senescence-like phenotype in wild-type mouse embryo fibroblasts. We also obtained results suggesting that the kinase inhibitors LY294002 and Wortmannin arrest cell growth and induce a senescence-like phenotype, at least partially, through inhibition of PI3K and protein kinase B/Akt, activation of the forkhead protein AFX, and up-regulation of p27(Kip1)expression. In summary, these observations taken together suggest that p27(Kip1) is an important mediator of the permanent cell cycle arrest induced by PI3K inhibitors. Our data suggest that repression of CDK2 activity by p27(Kip1) is required for the PI3K-induced senescence, yet mouse embryo fibroblasts derived from p27(Kip1-/-) mice entered cell cycle arrest after treatment with LY294002. We show that this is due to a compensatory mechanism by which p130 functionally substitutes for the loss of p27(Kip1). This is the first description that p130 may have a role in inhibiting CDK activity during senescence.

The small GTP-binding protein ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (ARF1) is an essential component of the molecular machinery that catalyzes the formation of membrane-bound transport intermediates. By using an in vitro assay that reproduces recruitment of cytosolic proteins onto purified, high salt-washed Golgi membranes, we have analyzed the role of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) on ARF1 incorporation. Addition to this assay of either pure catalytic subunits of PKA (C-PKA) or cAMP increased ARF1 binding. By contrast, ARF1 association was inhibited following C-PKA inactivation with either PKA inhibitory peptide or RIIalpha as well as after cytosol depletion of C-PKA. C-PKA also stimulated recruitment and activation of a recombinant form of human ARF1 in the absence of additional cytosolic components. The binding step could be dissociated from the activation reaction and found to be independent of guanine nucleotides and saturable. This step was stimulated by C-PKA in an ATP-dependent manner. Dephosphorylated Golgi membranes exhibited a decreased ability to recruit ARF1, and this effect was reverted by addition of C-PKA. Following an increase in the intracellular level of cAMP, ARF proteins redistributed from cytosol to the perinuclear Golgi region of intact cells. Collectively, the results show that PKA exerts a key regulatory role in the recruitment of ARF1 onto Golgi membranes. In contrast, PKA modulators did not affect recruitment of beta-COP onto Golgi membranes containing prebound ARF1.

Chronic B-cell lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) and low-grade B-cell Non Hodgkin's lymphomas (Lg-NHL) are characterized by slow accumulation of neoplastic cells arrested in the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. In contrast, proliferation rates are high in aggressive B-cell lymphomas (Hg-NHL). Divergent expression of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CKI) in the cell cycle may contribute to these differences. We analysed CLL as well as low and high grade B-cell NHL for expression of G1-specific and universal CKI by competitive RT-PCR and immunostaining. p16(INK4A) expression was low in all types of neoplasms. Highest p14(ARF) /p16 beta expression levels were found in normal lymphocytes. Expression of this CKI was significantly lower in CLL, but still higher in CLL than in the lymphomas (median 27 vs. 3 mRNA transcripts x 10(3), p = 0.0001). p14(ARF) /p16 beta immunostaining correlated with mRNA expression. Highest p21 mRNA levels were found in CLL, but three of four CLL with abundant p21 mRNA production were negative on immunostaining. High grade lymphomas showed markedly decreased p21 expression (3.9 in Hg-NHL vs. 12 in Lg-NHL and 29 in CLL; values expressed as mRNA transcripts x 10(3), p < 0.009). mRNA and protein expression of p27 was considerably higher in CLL than in the lymphomas. Differential CKI expression in various B-cell neoplasias may provide important biological markers, if not the molecular underpinning of their different cell cycle kinetics. Targeted interference with such genes governing cell cycle control in lymphoid neoplasia may pave the way towards new treatment strategies.
