Regulated fusion of secretory granules with the plasma membrane in secretory cells requires ATP, Ca2+ and cytosolic as well as membrane proteins. ATP-dependent steps in Ca(2+)-activated secretion from PC12 cells require three cytosolic PEP proteins (priming in exocytosis proteins, PEP1-3), the identity of which will provide insights into the required ATP-using reactions. PEP3 was recently identified as phosphatidylinositol transfer protein (PtdInsTP), and here we report that PEP1 consists of the type I phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase (PtdInsP5K). The roles of PEP3/PtdInsTP and PEP1/PtdInsP5K in sequential phosphoinositide recruitment and phosphorylation explains their synergistic activity in ATP-dependent priming. Moreover, inhibition of Ca(2+)-activated secretion by PtdIns(4,5)P2-specific antibodies and phospholipase C implies that 5-phosphorylated inositides play a novel, necessary role in the regulated secretory pathway. The results indicate that lipid kinase-mediated phosphorylation is an important basis for ATP use in the exocytotic pathway.

Phospholipase D (PLD) has been implicated in signal transduction and membrane traffic. We have previously shown that phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns-4,5-P2) stimulates in vitro partially purified brain membrane PLD activity, defining a novel function of PtdIns-4,5-P2 as a PLD cofactor. In the present study we extend these observations to permeabilized U937 cells. In these cells, the activation of PLD by guanosine 5'-3-O-(thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S) is greatly potentiated by MgATP. We have utilized this experimental system to test the hypothesis that MgATP potentiates PLD activation by G proteins because it is required for PtdIns-4,5-P2 synthesis by phosphoinositide kinases. As expected, MgATP was absolutely required for maintaining elevated phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns-4-P) and PtdIns-4,5-P2 levels in the permeabilized cells. In the presence of MgATP, GTP gamma S further elevated the levels of the phosphoinositides. The importance of PtdIns-4,5-P2 for PLD activation was examined by utilizing a specific inhibitory antibody directed against phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase (PtdIns 4-kinase), the enzyme responsible for the first step in the synthesis of PtdIns-4,5-P2. Anti-PtdIns 4-kinase completely inhibited PtdIns 4-kinase activity in vitro and reduced by 75-80% PtdIns-4-P and PtdIns-4,5-P2 levels in the permeabilized cells. In parallel, the anti-PtdIns 4-kinase fully inhibited the activation of PLD by GTP gamma S and caused a 60% inhibition of PLD activation by the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, indicating that elevated PtdIns-4,5-P2 levels are required for PLD activation. This conclusion is supported by the fact that neomycin, a high affinity ligand of PtdIns-4,5-P2, also blocked PLD activation. Furthermore, the activity of PLD in U937 cell lysate was stimulated by PtdIns-4,5-P2 in a dose-dependent manner. The current results indicate that PtdIns-4,5-P2 synthesis is required for PLD activation in permeabilized U937 cells and strongly support the proposed function of PtdIns-4,5-P2 as a cofactor for PLD. In addition, the results further establish PtdIns-4,5-P2 as a key component in the generation of second messengers via multiple pathways including phosphoinositide-phospholipase C, phosphoinositide 3-kinase and PLD.

alpha 1-Adrenergic (alpha 1-AR) agents stimulate NaCl(K) cotransport and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2]-specific phospholipase C in human trachea and nasal polyp epithelial cells. One second messenger generated by PtdIns(4,5)P2 degradation is inositol trisphosphate. We now show that diglycerides (DG) are also generated during alpha 1-AR stimulation. In cells prelabeled with [3H]arachidonic acid, alpha 1-AR agents produced a biphasic DG generation in normal and cystic fibrosis (CF) cells that is blocked by pertussis toxin. The early DG peak closely paralleled PtdIns(4,5)P2 degradation, stimulation of cotransport by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), and inhibition of cotransport by the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor staurosporine. This suggests that cotransporter activation requires PKC-protein phosphorylation. This possibility was tested using the protein phosphatase inhibitor okadaic acid. Okadaic acid elevated bumetanide-sensitive Cl efflux. Staurosporine also blocked > 63% of okadaic-acid-stimulated Cl transport. The late DG peak did not support hormone-stimulated cotransport. The results demonstrate that DGs are a pivotal link between alpha 1-AR stimulation and NaCl(K) cotransport activation with a role for PKC and protein phosphorylation. alpha 1-AR intracellular signaling mechanisms apparently operate normally in CF cells.

A role for phospholipase C hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2] as a mechanism of alpha 2-adrenergic signal transduction in rabbit tracheal epithelial cells (tracheocytes) was investigated in isolated cells grown in in vitro culture and prelabeled with myo-[3H]inositol (3 microCi/ml) for 72 h. Breakdown of polyphosphoinositides was measured by using thin-layer chromatography to detect phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate [PtdIns(4)P], and PtdIns(4,5)P2. Inositol phosphates were separated by ion-exchange column chromatography. The endogenous catecholamine l-epinephrine and alpha 2-adrenergic agonists clonidine and 1-(2,6-dichlorobenzylideneamino)guanidine (guanabenz) produced a rapid transient accumulation of inositol trisphosphate and inositol 4,5-bisphosphate and breakdown of [PtdIns(4)P] and PtdIns(4,5)P2. The alpha 2-adrenergic effects were not blocked by the beta-adrenergic antagonist DL-propranolol or by the alpha 1-adrenergic antagonists prazosin and methylurapidil but were inhibited by pertussis toxin and blocked by yohimbine, an alpha 2-adrenergic antagonist. The 50% effective concentration for guanabenz-stimulated inositol trisphosphate generation was right shifted from 0.3 to 0.9 microM by yohimbine. The results provide the first demonstration of alpha 2A-adrenergic activation of pertussis toxin-sensitive PtdIns(4,5)P2-dependent phospholipase C in mammalian tracheocytes. The findings are consistent with previous observations on alpha 2A-adrenergic-mediated activation of NaCl cotransport in these cells.

Membranes from human brain cortex (8-12 h post mortem) were labelled with [3H]inositol, in the presence of CMP, through the back reaction catalysed by PtdIns synthase. The enzyme incorporated [3H]inositol into phosphoinositides at a maximal rate of 419 pmol min-1 mg protein-1. In the absence of CMP, the labelling rate due to the PtdIns headgroup exchanging enzyme was 36 pmol min-1 mg protein-1. Human brain PtdIns synthase showed Kmapp values of 0.49 mM and 18 microM for inositol and CMP, respectively. In the presence of ATP, [3H]polyphosphoinositides formed after [3H]PtdIns were hydrolysed by phospholipase C in a GTP gamma S and neurotransmitter receptor agonist-dependent manner. Production of 3H-inositol phosphates as stimulated by GTP gamma S (350% of basal) was increased by the muscarinic agonists carbachol and oxotremorine-M (600% of basal) and by serotonin (485% of basal). The relative potencies of carbachol and oxotremorine-M were consistent with an action at muscarinic receptors. These results show that coupling between muscarinic and serotonin receptors and phospholipase C is preserved in membranes from post mortem human brain cortex and validate the use of a method involving direct [3H]inositol labelling of a membrane fraction to study the functional state of phospholipase C-coupled receptors in human brain samples.

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulates phosphatidylinositol PtdIns) hydrolysis in many cell types by effecting the specific interaction between the EGF receptor and phospholipase C gamma. Several studies have suggested that PtdIns 4-kinase activity can also be regulated by EGF, but the mechanism of this stimulation was unclear. We report here that EGF treatment of intact A431 cells increased the association of type II PtdIns kinase with the EGF receptor within 1 min at 37 degrees C. Phosphorylation of immunoprecipitated EGF receptor also increased the association of PtdIns 4-kinase. Furthermore dephosphorylation of phosphoserine residues on the stimulated receptor immune complex led to inactivation of the bound PtdIns 4-kinase, while dephosphorylation of phosphotyrosine residues led to activation. Unlike the stimulated activity measured in total cell and plasma membrane lysates, the changes in activity of the immunoprecipitates were apparent at high substrate concentration. Metabolic labeling was used to show that a 55-kDa phosphoserine and phosphotyrosine-containing protein comigrated with renatured PtdIns 4-kinase activity on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, while in vitro labeling revealed only serine phosphorylation. These data are discussed with reference to the direct regulation of PtdIns 4-kinase by phosphorylation, PtdIns compartmentalization, and the formation of a multienzyme signal transduction complex.

Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a versatile lipid mediator of inflammation in a variety of biologic systems. We have previously reported that one of the earliest events in the signal transduction pathway of PAF in a human B lymphoblastoid cell line was the induction of tyrosine kinase activity concomitant with the activation of phospholipase C (PLC). We now demonstrate the occurrence of multiple tyrosine phosphorylation-dependent events which follow the interaction of PAF with its receptor on B cells. Anti-phosphotyrosine immunoprecipitates from lysates of PAF-stimulated cells, when fractionated by SDS-PAGE and analyzed by Western blotting with anti-PLC-gamma 1, showed that maximal tyrosine phosphorylation of this enzyme occurred within 2 min of stimulation. This phenomenon was verified by immunoprecipitating with anti-PLC-gamma 1 and subsequently probing with anti-phosphotyrosine. Immunoprecipitation of the tyrosine kinases, Fyn and Lyn, from PAF-stimulated cells, and use of these immunoprecipitates in kinase assays established that the activation of both kinases also occurred within the first 2 min of stimulation with phosphorylation occurring on their tyrosine residues. Additionally, we also provide evidence for the tyrosine phosphorylation of the p85 subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PtdIns 3-kinase) and activation of this kinase by PAF in a dose-dependent manner, maximal activation occurring within 10 min post-stimulation. We have thus demonstrated that the activation of tyrosine kinases is an important proximate step in PAF-mediated signal transduction in B cells, leading to tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of PLC-gamma 1, Fyn and Lyn kinases, and PtdIns 3-kinase.

A method utilizing exogenously added [3H]PtdIns incubated with membranes prepared from postmoretem human brain has been shown to provide a means of measuring agonist-induced, guanosine 5'-O-(thiotriphosphate) (GTP[S])-dependent hydrolysis of [3H]PtdIns, thus allowing investigations of the activity of the phosphoinositide second-messenger system in accessible human brain tissue. Agonists inducing [3H]PtdIns hydrolysis include carbachol, trans-1-aminocyclopentyl-1,3-dicarboxylate (ACPD; a glutamatergic metabotropic receptor agonist), serotonin and ATP, with the latter two agonists producing the largest responses. In addition to ATP, [3H]PtdIns hydrolysis was induced by ADP and by 2-methylthio-ATP, indicating that P2-purinergic receptors mediate this process. Subtype-selective antibodies we used to identify Gq/11 and phospholipase C-beta as the G-protein and phospholipase C subtypes that mediated GTP[S]-induced and agonist-induced [3H]PtdIns hydrolysis. These results demonstrate that this method reveals that agonist-induced, GTP[S]-dependent [3H]PtdIns hydrolysis is retained in postmortem human brain membranes with properties similar to rat brain. This method should allow studies of the modulation of phosphoinositide hydrolysis in human brain and investigations of potential alterations in postmortem brain from subjects with neurological and psychiatric diseases.

Previous studies have shown that some cells (e.g. SKG3a) express human placental alkaline phosphatase (AP) in a form which can be released from the membrane by bacterial PtdIns-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) while others (e.g. HeLa) are relatively resistant to this enzyme. Chemical and enzymic degradation studies have suggested that the PI-PLC resistance of AP is due to inositol acylation of its glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor. In order to identify the biosynthetic origin of PI-PLC resistance we determined the PI-PLC sensitivity of AP in 35S-labelled cells (10 min pulse; 0-60 min chase) by Triton X-114 phase separation. At the beginning of the chase period, the majority of the AP synthesized was hydrophilic, indicating that it had not acquired a GPI anchor. The concentration of hydrophilic AP species decreased with a t1/2 of 30-60 min but was not processed to an endoglycosidase H-resistant species or secreted into the medium. In both SKG3a and HeLa cells all of the hydrophobic, GPI-anchored AP detectable at the beginning of the chase was PI-PLC sensitive. PI-PLC-resistant species of AP were only observed in HeLa cells and these only appeared after about 30 min. The delayed appearance of PI-PLC resistance was unexpected as previous studies have suggested that candidate GPI-anchor precursors are PI-PLC-resistant as a result of inositol acylation. This work reveals unanticipated complexities in the biosynthesis of AP and its GPI anchor.

1. Global myocardial ischaemia (MI) for periods greater than 5 min caused an inhibition of phosphatidylinositol specific phospholipase C (PtdIns-PLC) activity. 2. Two min reperfusion following a 20 min MI period, a time point associated with reperfusion-induced arrhythmias, resulted in an activation of PtdIns-PLC activity, dependent on endogenous noradrenaline and mediated via alpha 1-adrenoceptors. 3. This 2 min reperfusion response, in contrast to healthy myocardium, resulted in: (i) enhanced PtdIns-PLC activity; (ii) increased sensitivity to endogenous noradrenaline; (iii) rapid increases in inositol(1,4,5)trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3); and (iv) PLC hydrolysis primarily of PtdIns(4,5)P2, such that the majority of InsP isomers derive from Ins(1,4,5)P3. 4. Together, these data suggest a functional role for Ins(1,4,5)P3 under post-ischaemic reperfusion conditions, and provide a possible link between alpha 1-adrenoceptor stimulation of the PtdIns turnover pathway and reperfusion injury.
