Pleckstrin homology (PH) domains are found in many signaling molecules and are thought to be involved in specific intermolecular interactions. Their binding to several proteins and to membranes containing 1-alpha-phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2] has been reported. A region that includes the PH domain has also been implicated in binding of phospholipase C-delta 1 (PLC-delta 1) to both PtdIns(4,5)P2 and D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] [Cifuentes, M. E., Delaney, T. & Rebecchi, M. J. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 1945-1948]. We report herein that the isolated PH domain from PLC-delta 1 binds to both PtdIns(4,5)P2 and Ins(1,4,5)P3 with high affinity and shows the same binding specificity seen by others with whole PLC-delta 1. Thus the PH domain is functionally and structurally modular. These results demonstrate stereo-specific high-affinity binding by an isolated PH domain and further support a functional role for PH domains in the regulation of PLC isoforms. Other PH domains did not bind strongly to the compounds tested, suggesting that inositol phosphates and phospholipids are not likely physiological ligands for all PH domains. Nonetheless, since all PH-domain-containing proteins are associated with membrane surfaces, several PH domains bind to specific sites on membranes, and PH domains appear to be electrostatically polarized, a possible general role for PH domains in membrane association is suggested.

Pleckstrin is a 40-kDa protein present in platelets and leukocytes that contains two PH domains separated by a 150-residue intervening sequence. Pleckstrin is a major substrate for protein kinase C, but its function is unknown. The present studies examine the effects of pleckstrin on second messenger generation. When expressed in cos-1 or HEK-293 cells, pleckstrin inhibited 1) the G alpha-mediated activation of phospholipase C beta initiated by thrombin, M1-muscarinic acetylcholine, and angiotensin II receptors, 2) the stimulation of phospholipase C beta by constitutively active Gq alpha, 3) the G beta gamma-mediated activation of phospholipase C beta caused by alpha 2A-adrenergic receptors, and 4) the tyrosine phosphorylation-mediated activation of phospholipase C gamma caused by Trk A. However, pleckstrin had no effect on either the stimulation or inhibition of adenylyl cyclase. The inhibition of phosphoinositide hydrolysis caused by pleckstrin was similar in magnitude to that caused by activating protein kinase C with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). When combined, pleckstrin and PMA had an additive effect, inhibiting phosphoinositide hydrolysis by as much as 90%. Structure-function analysis highlighted the role of pleckstrin's N-terminal PH domain in these events. Although deleting the C-terminal PH domain had no effect, deleting the N-terminal PH domain abolished activity (but not expression) and mutating a highly conserved tryptophan residue within the N-terminal PH domain decreased activity by one-third. Notably, however, a pleckstrin variant in which the N-terminal PH domain was replaced with a second copy of the C-terminal PH domain was nearly as active as native pleckstrin. These results show that: 1) pleckstrin can inhibit pathways leading to both phospholipase C beta- and phospholipase C gamma-mediated phosphoinositide hydrolysis, 2) this inhibition affects activation of phospholipase C beta mediated by either G alpha or G beta gamma, but does not affect the regulation of adenylyl cyclase activity by G alpha or G beta gamma, 3) although pleckstrin is a substrate for protein kinase C, the effects of pleckstrin and PMA are at least partially independent, 4) the inhibition caused by pleckstrin appears to be mediated by the PH domain at the N terminus, rather than the C terminus of the molecule, and 5) location of the two PH domains within the molecule clearly contributes to their individual activity.2+1

The 'pleckstrin homology' or PH domain is a 100-residue protein module. It is present in many kinases, different isoforms of phospholipase C, GTPase-activating proteins and nucleotide-exchange factors. Its function is not known, but many proteins that contain a PH domain interact with GTP-binding proteins. The PH domain in beta-adrenergic receptor kinase may be involved in binding to the beta gamma subunits of a trimeric G-protein. We report here the three-dimensional structure of the PH domain of the cytoskeletal protein spectrin using homonuclear nuclear magnetic resonance. The core of the molecule is an antiparallel beta-sheet consisting of seven strands. The C terminus is folded into a long alpha-helix, and another helix is present in one of the surface loops. The molecule is electrostatically polarized and contains a pocket which may be involved in the binding of a ligand. There is a distant relationship to the peptidyl-prolyl-cis-trans-isomerase FKBP in which this pocket is involved in the binding of the macrocyclic compound FK506 (refs 8-11).

The 'pleckstrin homology' domain is an approximately 100-residue protein module that has recently been added to the domain catalogue of signalling proteins. For this review we have made an extensive database search using a profile search method, and found a number of additional proteins that may contain PH domains. The PH domain is present in many kinases, isoforms of phospholipase C, GTPases, GTPase-activating proteins and nucleotide-exchange factors, including such proteins as Vav, Dbl and Bcr, and there are two PH domains in a guanine-nucleotide releasing factor of Ras. Many PH-domain-containing proteins interact with GTP-binding proteins. We have also identified a PH domain in beta-adrenergic receptor kinase exactly in the region that has already been shown to be involved in binding to the beta and gamma subunits of a heterotrimeric G protein. This suggests that PH domains may be involved in interactions with GTP-binding proteins.

The pleckstrin homology (PH) domain of phospholipase C-delta 1 (PLC-delta 1) binds to phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) in phospholipid membranes with an affinity (Ka approximately 10(6) M-1) and specificity comparable to those of the native enzyme. PLC-delta 1 and its PH domain also bind inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, the polar head group of PI(4,5)P2, with comparable affinity and approximately 1:1 stoichiometry. A peptide corresponding to amino acids 30-43 of the PLC-delta 1 PH domain contains several basic residues predicted to bind PI(4,5)P2, but binds weakly and with little specificity for PI(4,5)P2; hence the tertiary structure of the isolated PH domain is required for high affinity PI(4,5)P2 binding. Our PI-(4,5)P2 binding results support the hypothesis that the intact PH domain, serving as a specific tether, directs PLC-delta 1 to membranes enriched in PI(4,5)P2 and permits the active site, located elsewhere in the protein, to hydrolyze multiple substrate molecules before this enzyme dissociates from the membrane surface.

The X-ray crystal structure of the high affinity complex between the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain from rat phospholipase C-delta 1 (PLC-delta 1) and inositol-(1,4,5)-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) has been refined to 1.9 A resolution. The domain fold is similar to others of known structure. Ins(1,4,5)P3 binds on the positively charged face of the electrostatically polarized domain, interacting predominantly with the beta 1/beta 2 and beta 3/beta 4 loops. The 4- and 5-phosphate groups of Ins(1,4,5)P3 interact much more extensively than the 1-phosphate. Two amino acids in the PLC-delta 1 PH domain that contact Ins(1,4,5)P3 have counterparts in the Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) PH domain, where mutational changes cause inherited agammaglobulinemia, suggesting a mechanism for loss of function in Btk mutants. Using electrostatics and varying levels of head-group specificity, PH domains may localize and orient signaling proteins, providing a general membrane targeting and regulatory function.

We have previously identified a novel 130 kDa protein (p130) which binds Ins(1,4,5)P3 and shares 38% sequence identity with phospholipase C-delta 1 [Kanematsu, Misumi, Watanabe, Ozaki, Koga, Iwanaga, Ikehara and Hirata (1996) Biochem. J. 313, 319-325]. We have now transfected COS-1 cells with genes encoding the entire length of the molecule or one of several truncated mutants, in order to locate the region for binding of Ins(1,4,5)P3. Deletion of N-terminal residues 116-232, the region which corresponds to the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain of the molecule, completely abolished binding activity. This result was confirmed when the PH domain itself (residues 95-232), isolated from a bacterial expression system, was found to bind [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3. We also found that Ins(1,4,5,6)P4 was as efficacious as Ins(1,4,5)P3 in displacing [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3, suggesting that these two polyphosphates bind to p130 with similar affinity. This conclusion was confirmed by direct binding studies using [3H]Ins(1,4,5,6)P4 with high specific radioactivity which we prepared ourselves. Binding specificity was also examined with a variety of inositol phosphate derivatives. As is the case with other PH domains characterized to date, we found that the 4,5-vicinal phosphate pair was an essential determinant of ligand specificity. However, the PH domain of p130 exhibited some novel features. For example, the 3- and/or 6-phosphates could also contribute to overall binding; this contrasts with some other PH domains where these phosphate groups decrease ligand affinity by imposing a steric constraint. Secondly, a free monoester 1-phosphate substantially increased binding affinity, which is a situation so far unique to the PH domain of p130.

A specific protein inhibitor of partially purified bovine brain phospholipase D (PLD) was identified from bovine brain cytosol. The PLD inhibitor has been enriched through several chromatographic steps and characterized with respect to size and mechanism of inhibition. The inhibitor showed an apparent molecular mass of 30 kDa by Superose 12 gel exclusion chromatography and inhibited PLD activity with an IC50 of 7 nM. The inhibitor had neither proteolytic activity nor phospholipid-hydrolyzing activity. Because phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), which is included in substrate vesicles, is an essential cofactor for PLD, we examined whether the inhibition might be mediated by sequestration of PIP2. PIP2 hydrolysis by phospholipase C (PLC)-beta1 was not affected by the inhibitor and the inhibitor did not bind to substrate vesicles containing PIP2. In contrast, a PH domain derived from PLC-delta1, which could bind to PIP2, showed a nearly identical inhibition of both PLC-beta1 and PLD activities. Thus, the PLD inhibition by the inhibitor is due to the specific interaction with not PIP2 but PLD. The suppression of PLD activity by the inhibitor was largely eliminated by the addition of ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) and GTPgammaS. We propose that the inhibitor plays a negative role in regulation of PLD activity by PIP2 and ARF.

The pleckstrin homology (PH) domain is a newly recognized protein module believed to play an important role in signal transduction. While the tertiary structures of several PH domains have been determined, some co-complexed with ligands, the function of this domain remains elusive. In this report, the PH domain located in the N terminus of human phospholipase C-delta1 (PLCdelta1) was found to regulate enzyme activity. The hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol (PI) was stimulated by phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) in a dose-dependent manner with an EC50 = 1 microM (0.3 mol%), up to 9-fold higher when 5 microM (1.5 mol%) of PIP2 was incorporated into the PI/phosphatidylserine (PS)/phosphatidylcholine (PC) vesicles (30 microM of PI with a molar ratio of PI:PS:PC = 1:5:5). Stimulation was specific for PIP2, since other anionic phospholipids including phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate had no stimulatory effect. PIP2-mediated stimulation was, however, inhibited by inositol 1,4, 5-triphosphate (IP3) in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting a modulatory role for this inositol. When a nested set of PH domain deletions up to 70 amino acids from the N terminus of PLCdelta1 were constructed, the deletion mutant enzymes all catalyzed the hydrolysis of the micelle forms of PI and PIP2 with specific activities comparable with those of the wild type enzyme. However, the stimulatory effect of PIP2 was greatly diminished when more than 20 amino acid residues were deleted from the N terminus. To identify the specific residues involved in PIP2-mediated enzyme activation, amino acids with functional side chains between residues 20 and 40 were individually changed to glycine. While all these mutations had little effect on the ability of the enzyme to catalyze the hydrolysis of PI or PIP2 micelles, the catalytic activity of mutants K24G, K30G, K32G, R38G, or W36G was markedly unresponsive to PIP2. Analysis of PIP2-stimulated PI hydrolysis by a dual substrate binding model of catalysis revealed that the micellar dissociation constant (Ks) of PLCdelta1 for the PI/PS/PC vesicles was reduced from 558 microM to 53 microM, and the interfacial Michaelis constant (Km) was reduced from 0.21 to 0.06 by PIP2. The maximum rate of PI hydrolysis (Vmax) was not affected by PIP2. These results demonstrate that a major function of the PH domain of PLCdelta1 is to modulate enzyme activity. Further, our results identify PIP2 as a functional ligand for a PH domain and suggest a general mechanism for the regulation of other proteins by PIP2.

Recent structural studies of mammalian phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) have begun to shed light on the mechanism whereby this family of effector enzymes is able to hydrolyze phospholipid substrates to yield second messengers. PI-PLC isozymes employ a variety of modules (PH domain, EF-hand domain, SH2 domain, SH3 domain and C2 domain) that are common in proteins involved in signal transduction to reversibly interact with membranes and protein components of the signalling pathways.
