Wortmannin, an inhibitor of phosphoinositide 3-kinase, inhibits both basolateral to apical and apical to basolateral transcytosis of ricin in Fisher rat thyroid (FRT) cells by 50% at 100 nM in a continuous transcytosis assay. In MDCK cells, a similar effect of wortmannin on basolateral to apical transcytosis of ricin was found, whereas apical to basolateral transcytosis was inhibited to a lesser degree. Transcytosis of dimeric IgA in MDCK cells expressing the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor was also reduced to 50% of controls, suggesting that wortmannin inhibits membrane translocation rather than sorting of specific proteins in the transcytotic pathway. This effect of wortmannin is selective, however, in that endocytosis at the basolateral domain and recycling at both the basolateral and apical membrane domains are unaffected, and apical endocytosis and apical secretion are only moderately reduced. We have shown previously that cAMP stimulates a late stage in basolateral to apical transcytosis in MDCK cells through activation of protein kinase A (Hansen, S. H., and Casanova, J.E. (1994) J. Cell Biol. 126, 677-687). Elevation of cellular cAMP still induced a 100% increase in transcytosis in wortmannin-treated cells, but transcytosis was no longer increased when compared to cells which received no drugs. In contrast, in experiments using a 17 degrees C block to accumulate ricin internalized from the basolateral surface in the apical compartment of MDCK cells, wortmannin had little effect on the stimulation of transcytosis by activators of protein kinase A observed under these conditions. The data thus suggest the existence of a wortmannin-sensitive step in the transcytotic pathway, positioned after endocytosis but prior to translocation into the protein kinase A-sensitive apical compartment, implying a role for phosphoinositide 3-kinase in an intermediate step in transcytosis in polarized epithelial cells.

We identified a serine/threonine protein kinase that is associated with and phosphorylates phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PtdIns 3-kinase). The serine kinase phosphorylates both the 85- and 110-kDa subunits of PtdIns 3-kinase and purifies with it from rat liver and immunoprecipitates with antibodies raised to the 85-kDa subunit. Tryptic phosphopeptide maps indicate that p85 from polyomavirus middle T-transformed cells is phosphorylated in vivo at three sites phosphorylated in vitro by the associated serine kinase. The 85-kDa subunit of PtdIns 3-kinase is phosphorylated in vitro on serine at a stoichiometry of approximately 1 mol of phosphate per mol of p85. This phosphorylation results in a three- to sevenfold decrease in PtdIns 3-kinase activity. Dephosphorylation with protein phosphatase 2A reverses the inhibition. This suggests that the association of protein phosphatase 2A with middle T antigen may function to activate PtdIns 3-kinase.

Recent evidence has suggested that activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) is required for the activation of Akt-1 by growth factors and insulin. Here we demonstrate by two independent methods that Akt-1 from L6 myotubes binds to PtdIns(3,4,5)P3, PtdIns(3,4)P2 and PtdIns(4,5)P2 when presented against a background of phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) or a 1:1 mixture of PtdSer and phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho). No binding was observed with the lipids PtdIns(3,5)P2, PtdIns4P and PtdIns3P or background lipids. Activated, hyperphosphorylated forms of Akt-1 from insulin-stimulated L6 myotubes bound to PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 in a similar manner as inactive Akt-1. Quantitative analysis using surface plasmon resonance showed that the equilibrium association constant for the binding of Akt-1 to PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 was submicromolar and that PtdIns(3,4)P2 and PtdIns(4,5)P2 bound to Akt-1 with 3- and 6-fold lower affinities respectively. Interaction of Akt-1 with PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 did not activate the protein kinase activity, either before or after incubation with MgATP. A model is presented in which PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 may prime Akt-1 for activation by another protein kinase, perhaps by recruiting it to the plasma membrane.

The mammalian phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) p110alpha, beta, and delta form heterodimers with Src homology 2 (SH2) domain-containing adaptors such as p85alpha or p55(PIK). The two SH2 domains of these adaptors bind to phosphotyrosine residues (pY) found within the consensus sequence pYXXM. Here we show that a heterodimer of the Drosophila PI3K, Dp110, with an adaptor, p60, can be purified from S2 cells with a pYXXM phosphopeptide affinity matrix. Using amino acid sequence from the gel-purified protein, the gene encoding p60 was cloned and mapped to the genomic region 21B8-C1, and the exon/intron structure was determined. p60 contains two SH2 domains and an inter-SH2 domain but lacks the SH3 and breakpoint cluster region homology (BH) domains found in mammalian p85alpha and beta. Analysis of the sequence of p60 shows that the amino acids responsible for the SH2 domain binding specificity in mammalian p85alpha are conserved and predicts that the inter-SH2 domain has a coiled-coil structure. The Dp110.p60 complex was immunoprecipitated with p60-specific antisera and shown to possess both lipid and protein kinase activity. The complex was found in larvae, pupae, and adults, consistent with p60 functioning as the adaptor for Dp110 throughout the Drosophila life cycle.

Signalling via seven transmembrane helix receptors can lead to a massive increase in cellular PtdIns(3,4,5)P3, which is critical for the induction of various cell responses and is likely to be produced by a trimeric G-protein-sensitive phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3Kgamma). We show here that PI3Kgamma is a bifunctional lipid kinase and protein kinase, and that both activities are inhibited by wortmannin at concentrations equal to those affecting the p85/p110alpha heterodimeric PI3K (IC50 approx. 2 nM). The binding of wortmannin to PI3Kgamma, as detected by anti-wortmannin antisera, closely followed the inhibition of the kinase activities. Truncation of more than the 98 N-terminal amino acid residues from PI3Kgamma produced proteins that were inactive in wortmannin binding and kinase assays. This suggests that regions apart from the core catalytic domain are important in catalysis and inhibitor interaction. The covalent reaction of wortmannin with PI3Kgamma was prevented by preincubation with phosphoinositides, ATP and its analogues adenine and 5'-(4-fluorosulphonylbenzoyl)adenine. Proteolytic analysis of wortmannin-prelabelled PI3Kgamma revealed candidate wortmannin-binding peptides around Lys-799. Replacement of Lys-799 by Arg through site-directed mutagenesis aborted the covalent reaction with wortmannin and the lipid kinase and protein kinase activities completely. The above illustrates that Lys-799 is crucial to the phosphate transfer reaction and wortmannin reactivity. Parallel inhibition of the PI3Kgamma-associated protein kinase and lipid kinase by wortmannin and by the Lys-799-->Arg mutation reveals that both activities are inherent in the PI3Kgamma polypeptide.

We investigated whether or not insulin and cAMP-elevating agents induce the proliferation of adult rat hepatocytes during the early and late phases of primary culture. Adult rat hepatocytes synthesized a significant amount of DNA when cultured in the presence of 10(-7) M insulin for 3 h. Under these conditions, the number of nuclei increased within 4 h. Hepatocyte DNA synthesis and proliferation were not essentially affected by the initial plating densities. Other cAMP-elevating agents, such as glucagon, forskolin and dibutyryl cAMP, as well as beta-adrenoceptor agonists (i.e., metaproterenol and isoproterenol) alone had no effect on either hepatocyte DNA synthesis or proliferation in primary culture. In contrast, these agents potentiated both processes at concentrations as low as 10(-7) M when cultured in combination with 10(-7) M insulin. The stimulatory effects of beta-adrenoceptor agonists and other cAMP-elevating agents were significantly blocked by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor, H-89 (N-[2-(p-(bromocinnamylamino)ethyl]-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide dihydrochloride; 10(-7) M). The mitogenic effect of insulin upon hepatocytes was almost completely suppressed by genistein (5 x 10(-6) M), wortmannin (10(-7) M) and by rapamycin (10 ng/ml). These results show that insulin rapidly induced the proliferation of adult rat hepatocytes in primary culture. The mitogenic effects of insulin were potentiated by beta-adrenoceptor agonists and cAMP-elevating agents. The effects of beta-adrenoceptor agonists and cAMP-elevating agents may be mediated through cAMP-dependent protein kinase. In addition, the activation of receptor tyrosine kinase, phosphoinositide 3-kinase and p70 ribosomal protein S6 kinase may be involved in the insulin signal transduction pathway.

Interleukin 3 (IL-3)-dependent survival of hematopoietic cells is known to rely on the activity of multiple signaling pathways, including a pathway leading to activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase), and protein kinase Akt is a direct target of PI 3-kinase. We find that Akt kinase activity is rapidly induced by the cytokine IL-3, suggesting a role for Akt in PI 3-kinase-dependent signaling in hematopoetic cells. Dominant-negative mutants of Akt specifically block Akt activation by IL-3 and interfere with IL-3-dependent proliferation. Overexpression of Akt or oncogenic v-akt protects 32D cells from apoptosis induced by IL-3 withdrawal. Apoptosis after IL-3 withdrawal is accelerated by expression of dominant-negative mutants of Akt, indicating that a functional Akt signaling pathway is necessary for cell survival mediated by the cytokine IL-3. Thus Akt appears to be an important mediator of anti-apoptotic signaling in this system.

Isolated skeletal muscle from healthy individuals was used to evaluate the role of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) in insulin signalling pathways regulating mitogen activated protein kinase (MAP-kinase) and protein kinase-B and to investigate whether MAP-kinase was involved in signalling pathways regulating glucose metabolism. Insulin stimulated glycogen synthase activity (approximately 1.7 fold), increased 3-o-methylglucose transport into human skeletal muscle strips (approximately 2 fold) and stimulated phosphorylation of the p42 ERK-2 isoform of MAP-kinase. This phosphorylation of p42 ERK2 was not blocked by the PI 3-kinase inhibitors LY294002 and wortmannin although it was blocked by the MAP-kinase kinase (MEK) inhibitor PD 98059. However, PD98059 (up to 20 micromol/l) did not block insulin activation of glycogen synthase or stimulation of 3-o-methylglucose transport. Wortmannin and LY294002 did block insulin stimulation of protein kinase-B (PKB) phosphorylation and stimulation of 3-o-methylglucose transport was inhibited by wortmannin (IC50 approximately 100 nmol/l). These results indicate that MAP-kinase is activated by insulin in human skeletal muscle by a PI 3-kinase independent pathway. Furthermore this activation is not necessary for insulin stimulation of glucose transport or activation of glycogen synthase in this tissue.

The aggregation of human platelets is an important physiological hemostatic event contingent upon receptor-dependent activation of the surface integrin alphaIIbbeta3 and subsequent binding of fibrinogen. Aggregating platelets form phosphatidylinositol 3, 4-bisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4)P2), which has been reported to stimulate in vitro the activity of the proto-oncogenic protein kinase PKB/Akt, as has phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3). It has been assumed that PtdIns(3,4)P2 is synthesized by either 5-phosphatase-catalyzed hydrolysis of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 produced by phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) or phosphorylation by PI3K of PtdIns4P. We investigated the route(s) by which PtdIns(3,4)P2 is formed after directly activating alphaIIbbeta3 with anti-ligand-induced binding site Fab fragment and report that aggregation does not lead to the generation of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3, but to transient formation of PtdIns3P and generation of PtdIns(3,4)P2, the latter primarily by PtdIns3P 4-kinase. Both this novel pathway and the activation of PKB/Akt are inhibited by the PI3K inhibitor, wortmannin, and the calpain inhibitor, calpeptin, constituting the first evidence that PtdIns(3,4)P2 can stimulate PKB/Akt in vivo in the absence of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3. Integrin-activated generation of the second messenger PtdIns(3,4)P2 thus depends upon a route distinct from that known to be utilized initially by growth factors. This pathway is of potential general relevance to the function of integrins.

Jun kinases (JNK) are involved in the stress response of mammalian cells. Stimulation of JNK can be induced by stress factors and by agonists of tyrosine kinase and G protein-coupled receptors. G protein-dependent receptors stimulate JNK via Gbetagamma subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins, but the subsequent signaling reaction has been undefined. Here we demonstrate JNK activation in COS-7 cells by Gbetagamma-stimulated phosphoinositide 3-kinase gamma (PI3Kgamma). Signal transduction from PI3Kgamma to JNK can be suppressed by dominant negative mutants of Ras, Rac, and the protein kinase PAK. These results identify PI3Kgamma as a mediator of Gbetagamma-dependent regulation of JNK activity.
