Insulin treatment of isolated liver plasma membranes induced the release of 5'-nucleotidase and alkaline phosphatase. This effect was maximal at physiological hormone concentrations, being 36% and 17% for 5'-nucleotidase and alkaline phosphatase respectively, and was fully mimicked by the phosphatidylinositol specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC), thus confirming the presence of a glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchoring-system for these exofacial enzymatic proteins. The complete inhibition of insulin dependent enzyme release by neomycin is strongly supportive of an involvement of membrane-located PI-PLC activity. In addition, the insulin-like effect on enzyme release induced by the GTP non-hydrolysable analog, GTP-gamma-S, and its sensitivity to the pertussis toxin are in favour of a mediatory role exerted by the G proteins system, in the transduction of some actions of insulin.

1. Liver plasma membranes originating from the sinusoidal, lateral and canalicular surface domains of hepatocytes were covalently labelled with sulpho-N-hydroxysuccinamide-biotin. After solubilization in Triton X-114, treatment with a phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC), two-phase partitioning and 125I-streptavidin labelling of the proteins resolved by PAGE, six major polypeptides (molecular masses 110, 85, 70, 55, 38 and 35 kDa) were shown to be anchored in bile canalicular membrane vesicles by a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (G-PI) 'tail'. 2. Permeabilized 'early' and 'late' endocytic vesicles isolated from liver were also examined. Two polypeptides (110 and 35 kDa) were shown to be anchored by a G-PI tail in 'late' endocytic vesicles. 3. Analysis of marker enzymes in bile-canalicular vesicles treated with PI-PLC showed that 5'-nucleotidase and alkaline phosphatase, but not leucine aminopeptidase and ecto-Ca2(+)-ATPase activities were released from the membrane. A low release and recovery of alkaline phosphodiesterase activity was noted. The cleavage from the membrane of 5'-nucleotidase as a 70 kDa polypeptide was confirmed by Western blotting using an antibody to this enzyme. 4. Antibodies raised to proteins released from bile-canalicular vesicles by PI-PLC treatment, and purified by partitioning in aqueous and Triton X-114 phases, localized to the bile canaliculi in thin liver sections. Antibodies to proteins not hydrolysed by this treatment stained by immunofluorescence the sinusoidal and canalicular surface regions of hepatocytes. 5. Antibodies generated to proteins cleaved by PI-PLC treatment of canalicular vesicles were shown to identify, by Western blotting, a major 110 kDa polypeptide in these vesicles. Two polypeptides (55 and 38 kDa) were detected in MDCK and HepG-2 cultured cells. 6. Since two of the six G-PI-anchored proteins targeted to the bile-canalicular plasma membrane were also detected in 'late' endocytic vesicles, the results suggest that a junction where exocytic and endocytic traffic routes meet occurs in a 'late' endocytic compartment.

1. We have compared the effect of phosphatidyl inositol specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) on the attachment of both 5'-nucleotidase and alkaline phosphatase to the liver plasma membrane from different species. 2. Our results demonstrate differences in the susceptibilities of both enzymes to PI-PLC treatment in relation to their origin. 3. These results were confirmed by immunoblotting using polyclonal anti-5'-nucleotidase antibodies. 4. In addition, in a single animal, susceptibility of both enzymes to PI-PLC treatment is different from one tissue to another. 5. The different percentages of released enzymes could be explained either by a polymorphism in the anchoring of these proteins at the cell surface membrane, or by a different steric hindrance or environment at the cleavage site itself.

Incubation of pig kidney microvillar membranes with Bacillus thuringiensis or Staphylococcus aureus phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) resulted in the release of a number of glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored hydrolases, including alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1), amino-peptidase P (EC 3.4.11.9), membrane dipeptidase (EC 3.4.13.19), 5'-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) and trehalase (EC 3.2.1.28). Of these five ectoenzymes only for membrane dipeptidase was there a significant (approx. 100%) increase in enzymic activity upon release from the membrane. Maximal activation occurred at a PI-PLC concentration 10-fold less than that required for maximal release. In contrast solubilization of the membranes with n-octyl beta-D-glucopyranoside had no effect on the enzymic activity of membrane dipeptidase. A competitive e.l.i.s.a. with a polyclonal antiserum to membrane dipeptidase indicated that the increase in enzymic activity was not due to an increase in the amount of membrane dipeptidase protein. Although PI-PLC cleaved the GPI anchor of the affinity-purified amphipathic form of pig membrane dipeptidase there was no concurrent increase in enzymic activity. In the absence of PI-PLC, membrane dipeptidase in the microvillar membranes hydrolysed Gly-D-Phe with a Km of 0.77 mM and a Vmax. of 602 nmol/min per mg of protein. However, in the presence of a concentration of PI-PLC which caused maximal release from the membrane and maximal activation of membrane dipeptidase the Km was decreased to 0.07 mM while the Vmax. remained essentially unchanged at 624 nmol/min per mg of protein. Overall these results suggest that cleavage by PI-PLC of the GPI anchor on membrane dipeptidase may relax conformational constraints on the active site of the enzyme which exist when it is anchored in the lipid bilayer, thus resulting in an increase in the affinity of the active site for substrate.

The specific activity of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate phospholipase C (PIP2-PLC) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate monophosphatase (IP3-MP) involved in phosphoinositide catabolism was found to be significantly lower in the total homogenate of four human lymphoblastoid cell lines, HSB-2, MOLT-4, CEM and JURKAT, than in resting and activated peripheral blood mononuclear cells, ranging from 0.8 to 3.2 and from 1.3 to 3.7 nmol/min/mg for PIP2-PLC and IP3-MP, respectively. In PHA-stimulated cells, the specific activities were enhanced 25 and 35% respectively over the values (8.02 and 7.83 nmol/min/mg, respectively) measured in resting peripheral blood mononuclear cells. After centrifugation on discontinuous sucrose gradient of cell homogenate, PIP2-PLC and IP3-MP activities were found to be predominantly associated with the cytosol fraction (> 69%) in HSB-2 and MOLT-4 cells, with a distribution similar to that found in PHA-stimulated and in resting lymphocytes. In CEM cells, about half of the total activity remained in this fraction, while in JURKAT lymphoblastic cells more than 45% of the total activity was recovered in the high-density membrane fraction (d = 1.20-1.25), the soluble PIP2-PLC and IP3-MP activity accounting for only 13 and 25%, respectively. Conversely, in less differentiated leukemic cells HSB-2 and MOLT-4, conspicuous activity of the ectoenzymes 5'-nucleotidase (5'-NT) and gamma-glutamyltransferase (gamma-GT) was recovered in the soluble fraction. Growing leukemic cells at a distinct level of differentiation have a general reduction in activity but a characteristic distribution of enzymes involved in the transmission of signals usually targeting the cell surface.

A glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein, 5'-nucleotidase [EC 3.1.3.5], was released from the membrane of bovine liver by use of phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) of Bacillus thuringiensis and purified by several column chromatographies to a homogeneous state. The purified protein has an apparent molecular mass of 61 kDa, as estimated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. From the partial amino acid sequence of a tryptic peptide, mixed oligonucleotides were synthesized and used to screen a lambda gt11 liver cDNA library, and one positive clone, pE1, was isolated. Since the insert of the clone lacked the NH2-terminal coding region, another lambda gt11 liver cDNA library was screened by using a synthetic probe corresponding to the 5' region of the insert of pE1. Three additional cDNA clones were obtained. Sequencing of these cDNAs revealed an open reading frame that encodes a 574-residue polypeptide with a calculated mass of 63,084 Da. The predicted structure showed two highly hydrophobic stretches at both ends of the protein, like those of rat and human 5'-nucleotidases. The NH2-terminal 26 residues comprise a signal peptide and the COOH-terminal hydrophobic stretch may serve as a signal for the posttranslational GPI modification. An expression vector of the cDNA, pSVNT, was constructed in a mammalian expression vector pSVL and the 5'-nucleotidase activity was transiently expressed in COS-1 cells. The expressed activity was about 8 times higher than the pSVL-transfected control activity. PI-PLC released 45% of the transiently expressed 5'-nucleotidase activity, indicating that the cDNA isolated here encodes this enzyme expressed as a GPI-anchored protein.

Many hydrolytic enzymes are attached to the extracellular face of the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor. Little is currently known about the consequences for enzyme function of anchor cleavage by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C. We have examined this question for the GPI-anchored protein 5'-nucleotidase (5'-ribonucleotide phosphohydrolase; EC 3.1.3.5), both in the native lymphocyte plasma membrane, and following purification and reconstitution into defined lipid bilayer vesicles, using Bacillus thuringiensis phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC). Membrane-bound, detergent-solubilized and cleaved 5'-nucleotidase all obeyed Michaelis-Menten kinetics, with a Km for 5'-AMP in the range 11-16 microM. The GPI anchor was removed from essentially all 5'-nucleotidase molecules, indicating that there is no phospholipase-resistant pool of enzyme. However, the phospholipase was much less efficient at cleaving the GPI anchor when 5'-nucleotidase was present in detergent solution, dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine, egg phosphatidylethanolamine and sphingomyelin, compared with the native plasma membrane, egg phosphatidylcholine and a sphingolipid/cholesterol-rich mixture. Lipid molecular properties and bilayer packing may affect the ability of PI-PLC to gain access to the GPI anchor. Catalytic activation, characterized by an increase in Vmax, was observed following PI-PLC cleavage of reconstituted 5'-nucleotidase from vesicles of several different lipids. The highest degree of activation was noted for 5'-nucleotidase in egg phosphatidylethanolamine. An increase in Vmax was also noted for a sphingolipid/cholesterol-rich mixture, the native plasma membrane and egg phosphatidylcholine, whereas vesicles of sphingomyelin and dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine showed little activation. Km generally remained unchanged following cleavage, except in the case of the sphingolipid/cholesterol-rich mixture. Insertion of the GPI anchor into a lipid bilayer appears to reduce the catalytic efficiency of 5'-nucleotidase, possibly via a conformational change in the enzyme, and activity is restored on release from the membrane.
