Lymphocytes infected in vivo with HIV or lymphoblastoid cells exposed in vitro to either HIV or its envelope glycoprotein (gp120) show a defect in inositol polyphosphate-mediated signal transduction together with an associated abnormality in intracellular calcium regulation. The defect in patients reverses after treatment with the anti-retroviral agent zidovudine (AZT). We present evidence that the defect is at the level of the Ins (1,3,4,5)P4 5-phosphomonoesterase (PME) in these cells and that, though elevation of the intracellular ATP level partially down-regulates the activity of this enzyme, such changes alone are unable to account for the complete inhibition seen in HIV-infected cells.

PMID:The defect seen in the phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis pathway in HIV-infected lymphocytes and lymphoblastoid cells is due to inhibition of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate 5-phosphomonoesterase. 132 Oct 14

1. Phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns4P) is degraded by isolated membranes from Xenopus laevis oocytes. 2. Incubation of [4-32P]PtdIns4P with membranes yields only radioactive inorganic phosphate, indicating the presence of a phosphomonoesterase. 3. Membranes hydrolyze Ptd[2-3H]Ins4P to produce mainly Ptd[2-3H]Ins in the lipid phase. In this incubation [3H]inositol and inositol monophosphate appear in the water phase. 4. Membrane incubations of Ptd[2-3H]Ins4P carried out in the presence of excess non-radioactive Ins(1,4)P2 allows the trapping of small amounts of [3H]Ins(1,4)P2. These results demonstrate the presence of a phospholipase C. 5. Testing several phosphorylated analogs, it is determined that fructose 1,6-bisphosphate and alpha-glycerophosphate are potent inhibitors of the oocyte PtdIns4P phosphomonoesterase.

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3), which mobilizes intracellular Ca2+, is metabolized either by dephosphorylation to inositol 1,4-bisphosphate(Ins-(1,4)P2) or by phosphorylation to inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (Ins(1,3,4,5)P4). It has been shown in vitro that Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 is also dephosphorylated by a 5-phosphomonoesterase to inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate. However, we have found that exogenous Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 is dephosphorylated to predominantly Ins(1,4,5)P3 in saponin-permeabilized platelets in the presence of KCl (40-160 mM). This inositol polyphosphate 3-phosphomonoesterase activity is independent of Ca2+ (0.1-100 microM), and it was also observed when the ionic strength of the incubation medium was increased with Na+. The action of KCl appears to be due to activation of a 3-phosphomonoesterase as well as an inhibition of the 5-phosphomonoesterase, because the dephosphorylation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 to Ins(1,4)P2 was completely inhibited by KCl. The 3-phosphomonoesterase may be regulated by a protein kinase C, since both thrombin and phorbol dibutyrate increase 3-phosphomonoesterase activity and this is inhibited by staurosporine. The formation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 from Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 reported here provides an additional pathway for the formation of the Ca2+-mobilizing second messenger in stimulated cells.

The metabolism of biologically active inositol phosphates in developed ovarian follicles from Xenopus laevis was investigated. Techniques used were microinjection of tracer into the intact oocyte coupled by gap junctions to follicle cells, as well as addition of tracer to homogenates of ovarian follicles and to homogenates of oocytes stripped of outer follicle-cell layers. Metabolism was similar to that previously described for other types of cell and tissue, with several unusual features. Homogenates of ovarian follicles were shown to contain an apparent 3'-phosphomonoesterase capable of converting [3H]Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 predominantly into a substance with h.p.l.c. elution characteristics of Ins(1,4,5)P3. In intact ovarian follicles, little Ins(1,4,5)P3 was formed but the esterase was activated by the phorbol ester activator of protein kinase C, PMA (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate; 60 nM), as well as by acetylcholine (200 microM). In follicle homogenates, this enzyme also appeared to be active in converting [3H]Ins(1,3,4)P3 into a substance eluting as Ins(1,4)P2. The apparent 3'-phosphomonoesterase activity was not inhibited by intracellular (or higher) levels of Mg2+. Although PMA activated this enzyme in intact oocytes relative to 5'-phosphomonoesterase activation, it did not enhance overall metabolism, in contrast with reports on other tissues. Compared with the processing of inositol phosphates injected into the intact follicle, homogenization in simulated intracellular medium appeared to alter the activity and/or accessibility of several enzymes. The metabolism of inositol phosphates appears to occur predominantly in the follicle cells surrounding the oocyte, as collagenase treatment followed by defolliculation greatly diminished the rates of metabolism of several inositol phosphates. The presence in Xenopus ovarian follicles of a 3'-phosphomonoesterase activated by protein kinase C in addition to the well-known 3'-kinase suggests that, by forming a reversible interconversion between Ins(1,4,5)P3 and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, this tissue may have the potential to prolong stimulatory signals on binding of appropriate agonists to receptors.

A specific soluble inositol phosphate 5-phosphomonoesterase has been purified approximately 2,700-fold from a 120,000g supernatant of rabbit neutrophil homogenate. The specific enzyme represented 25-50% of the total hydrolytic activity toward inositol, 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins-1,4,5-P3) with the remaining activity hydrolyzing both Ins-1,4,5-P3 as well as inositol 1,4-bisphosphate (Ins-1,4-P2). However, the enzyme could not be identified on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels stained with Coomassie blue, indicating that it represents a minor protein in the purified enzyme preparations. The purified enzyme has an apparent molecular mass of 43,000-47,000 daltons as determined by gel filtration and is free of other inositol phosphate phosphomonoesterases. The enzyme hydrolyzes Ins-1,4,5-P3 with an apparent Km of 18 microM and a Vmax of 1.2 mumol/min/mg. The 5-phosphomonoesterase requires Mg2+ for activity and is not affected by physiological concentrations of Ca2+ or calmodulin. The pH optimum for activity is 7.5. Inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate is a potent competitive inhibitor of Ins-1,4,5-P3 hydrolysis (Ki = microM), whereas Ins-1,4-P2 is a weak inhibitor (Ki = 173 microM). Ins-1,4,5-P3 hydrolysis is relatively unaffected by monophosphorylated substrates, however, bisphosphorylated substrates are potent inhibitors. Comparisons of neutrophil 5-phosphomonoesterase characteristics with those of platelet and rat brain enzymes support the idea that each 5-phosphomonoesterase may be a unique enzyme and play a different role dependent upon the cell or tissue in which it acts.

Thrombin-stimulated (10 s) human platelets produce Ins(1,4,5)P3 and an additional inositol trisphosphate (InsP3), in approximately a 1:20 ratio. The major InsP3 co-migrates with Ins(1,3,4)P3 on strong-anion-exchange h.p.l.c. To identify this species unequivocally, we treated putative Ins(1,3,4)P3 obtained from thrombin-stimulated myo-[3H]inositol-labelled platelets with NaIO4/NaBH4 or 4-phosphomonoesterase. The products indicate that the major InsP3 is at least 90% D-Ins(1,3,4)P3. D-[3H]Ins(1,3,4)P3 added to saponin-permeabilized platelets is hydrolysed to an InsP2 (7.8%) and phosphorylated by a kinase to yield an inositol polyphosphate (0.9%) in 5 min. The phosphorylation product co-migrates with Ins(1,3,4,6)P4 on Partisphere WAX h.p.l.c. Under similar conditions, L-[3H]Ins(1,3,4)P3 is dephosphorylated but not phosphorylated. Relative phosphatase:kinase ratios are 8.7:1 (Vmax. values) and 0.86:1 (Km values) with respect to D-Ins(1,3,4)P3. The kinase activity is predominantly cytosolic (96.8% of total activity) in freeze-thaw-disrupted platelets, and the accumulation of its product is Ca2(+)-dependent. The activity is identified as a 6-kinase on the basis of its product's insensitivity to 5-phosphomonoesterase, resistance to periodate oxidation and co-migration with standard Ins(1,3,4,6)P4 on h.p.l.c. Incubation of platelets with beta-phorbol dibutyrate (beta-PDBu, 76 nM), causing activation of protein kinase C, results in a 57.5% inhibition (reversible by the protein kinase C inhibitor staurosporine) of Ins(1,3,4,6)P4 accumulation. alpha-PDBu, which does not stimulate protein kinase C, has no effect. Stimulation of intact platelets with thrombin results in the production of Ins(1,3,4,6)P4 (1.4-fold rise in 30 s) and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, with the latter being the major InsP4 species. Accumulation of Ins(1,3,4,6)P4 is slightly delayed in comparison with Ins(1,3,4)P3 and is relatively small. We propose that the major route of Ins(1,3,4)P3 metabolism in stimulated human platelets is via phosphatase action.

The involvement of inositol lipid metabolism in agonist-mediated Ca2+ signaling by Ins 1,4,5-P3 has become firmly established. Recent advances have led to a better understanding of the proteins associated with signal transduction in the plasma membrane. A number of specific receptors (G proteins, phospholipases and inositol lipid kinases) have now been purified and characterized. An Ins 1,4,5-P3 receptor has also been purified which is presumably involved in mediating Ca2+ efflux from intracellular stores. The morphological site of the hormone-sensitive Ca2+ pool has been tentatively identified as discrete, specialized intracellular structures (calciosomes), but further studies are required to demonstrate that these contain Ins 1,4,5-P3-gated Ca2+ channels and their possible functional relationship to the plasma membrane. Receptor occupancy by Ca2+ mobilizing agonists also stimulates Ca2+ entry into the cell, but the mechanism for activation of voltage insensitive Ca2+ channels and the possible involvement of Ins 1,4,5-P3, Ins 1,3,4,5-P4 and/or G proteins in this process has not been established. The Ca2+ signaling pathway is subject to multisite feedback regulation by Ca2+ itself and by a diacylglycerol-mediated activation of protein kinase C. Potential sites for Ca2+ interaction are displacement of Ins 1,4,5-P3 from its receptor by a Ca2+-dependent mechanism, promotion of Ins 1,3,4,5-P4 formation by the Ca2+/calmodulin-regulated Ins 1,4,5-P3 3-kinase, and efflux of Ca2+ from the cell or sequestration into intracellular Ca2+ stores by Ca2+/calmodulin-regulated Ca2+-ATPases. Protein kinase C activation potentially affects the rate of generation of Ins 1,4,5-P3 by negative feedback to the receptor-G protein-phospholipase C transduction system and possibly also the rate of Ins 1,4,5-P3 degradation by activation of an inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphomonoesterase. It may also attenuate the Ca2+ transient directly by increasing the activity of Ca2+-ATPases associated with the plasma membrane and the endoplasmic reticulum. Cell-to-cell heterogeneity in the relative control strengths of these different mechanisms may explain the differences in the Ca2+ signal in different tissues and even in different cells within a population. The ability of Ca2+ and protein kinase C to provide negative feedback at various points in the signal transduction pathway suggests that a complex mechanism involving multiple feedback loops is likely to regulate the generation of Ca2+ oscillations seen in some cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

A study of the enzyme activities that degrade Ins(1,3,4)P3 in rat brain showed that it was dephosphorylated primarily by a Mg2+-dependent inositol polyphosphate 1-phosphomonoesterase to Ins(3,4)P2 and then to Ins(3)P by a 4-phosphomonoesterase. A less active enzyme activity with the properties of a 4-phosphomonoesterase that converted Ins(1,3,4)P3 to Ins(1,3)P2 was also detected. The inositol polyphosphate 1-phosphomonoesterase was separated from the 4-phosphomonoesterase and the inositol monophosphate phosphomonoesterase by chromatography on phosphocellulose, DE-52 anion exchange and hydroxylapatite columns. Kinetic characterization of the partially purified inositol polyphosphate 1-phosphomonoesterase indicated that both Ins(1,3,4)P3 and Ins(1,4)P2 were substrates with apparent Km values of 0.9 microM and 0.7 microM, respectively. Either substrate was a competitive inhibitor of the other substrate and dephosphorylation of both substrates was directly inhibited by Li+ in an uncompetitive manner. These data strongly suggest that a single enzyme dephosphorylates both Ins(1,3,4)P3 and Ins(1,4)P2. The 4-phosphomonoesterase that dephosphorylated Ins(3,4)P2 to Ins(3)P was insensitive to Mg2+ and Li+ and was probably the same enzyme that degraded Ins(1,3,4)P3 to Ins(1,3)P2. The isomeric configurations of the major inositol polyphosphates formed from the degradation of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 were determined using 1H- and 31P-NMR spectroscopy, and confirmation of the structures assigned to Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, Ins(1,3,4)P3 and Ins(3,4)P2 was obtained.

The action of carbamoylcholine (Cchol), NaF and other agonists on the generation of inositol phosphates (IPs) was studied in dog thyroid slices prelabelled with myo-[2-3H]inositol. The stimulation by Cchol (0.1 microM-0.1 mM) of IPs accumulation through activation of a muscarinic receptor [Graff, Mockel, Laurent, Erneux & Dumont (1987) FEBS Lett. 210, 204-210] was pertussis- and cholera-toxin insensitive. Ins(1,4,5)P3, Ins(1,3,4)P3 and InsP4 were generated. NaF (5-20 mM) also increased IPs generation (Graff et al., 1987); this effect was potentiated by AlCl3 (10 microM) and unaffected by pertussis toxin. Although phorbol dibutyrate (5 microM) abolished the cholinergic stimulation of IPs generation (Graff et al., 1987), it did not affect the fluoride-induced response. Cchol and NaF did not require extracellular Ca2+ to exert their effect, and neither KCl-induced membrane depolarization nor ionophore A23187 (10 microM) had any influence on basal IPs levels, or on cholinergic stimulation. However, more stringent Ca2+ depletion with EGTA (0.1 or 1 mM) decreased basal IPs levels as well as the amplitude of the stimulation by Cchol without abolishing it. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP, forskolin, cholera toxin and prostaglandin E1 had no effect on basal IPs levels and did not decrease the response to Cchol. Iodide (4 or 40 microM) also strongly decreased the cholinergic action on IPs, this inhibition being relieved by methimazole (1 mM). Our data suggest that Cchol activates a phospholipase C hydrolysing PtdIns(4,5)P2 in the dog thyroid cell in a cyclic AMP-independent manner. This activation requires no extracellular Ca2+ and depends on a GTP-binding protein insensitive to both cholera toxin and requires no extracellular Ca2+ and depends on a GTP-binding protein insensitive to both cholera toxin and pertussis toxin. The data are consistent with a rapid metabolism of Ins(1,4,5)P3 to Ins(1,3,4)P3 via the Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase pathway, followed by dephosphorylation by a 5-phosphomonoesterase. Indeed, a Ca2+-sensitive InsP3 3-kinase activity was demonstrated in tissue homogenate. Stimulation of protein kinase C and an organified form of iodine inhibit the Cchol-induced IPs generation. The negative feedback of activated protein kinase C could be exerted at the level of the receptor or of the receptor-G-protein interaction.

We have examined regulation by protein kinase C (Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent enzyme) of thrombin-induced inositol polyphosphate accumulation in human platelets. When platelets are exposed to thrombin for 10 s, the protein kinase C inhibitor staurosporine causes inositol phosphate elevations over control values of 2.7-fold (inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3], 1.9-fold (inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (Ins(1,3,4,5)P4], and 1.2-fold (inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate). In the same period, phosphatidic acid and diacylglycerol are unaffected. The myosin light chain kinase inhibitor ML-7 has no effect on inositol phosphate accumulations. Staurosporine does not inhibit Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase and 5-phosphomonoesterase activities in saponin-permeabilized platelets incubated with exogenous Ins(1,4,5)P3 unless the platelets have been exposed to thrombin and protein kinase C is consequently activated. The protein kinase C agonist beta-phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate increases the Vmax of the 3-kinase 1.8-fold, with little effect on Km. Our results provide strong evidence for a role for protein kinase C in regulating inositol phosphate levels in thrombin-activated platelets. We propose that endogenously activated protein kinase C removes Ins(1,4,5)P3 by stimulating both 5-phosphomonoesterase and Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase. Initial activation of phospholipase C does not appear to be affected by such protein kinase C. Inhibition of protein kinase C by staurosporine decreases 5-phosphomonoesterase activity. The resulting elevated Ins(1,4,5)P3, as substrate for Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase, promotes production of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, which also may accumulate through decreased 5-phosphomonoesterase activity and elevated Ca2+ levels. These factors apparently counteract the inhibitory effect on 3-kinase, yielding a net increase in Ins(1,3,4,5)P4.
