Capacitative Ca(2+) entry involves the regulation of plasma membrane Ca(2+) channels by the filling state of intracellular Ca(2+) stores in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Several theories have been advanced regarding the mechanism by which the stores communicate with the plasma membrane. One such mechanism, supported by recent findings, is conformational coupling: inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P(3)) receptors in the ER may sense the fall in Ca(2+) levels through Ca(2+)-binding sites on their lumenal domains, and convey this conformational information directly by physically interacting with Ca(2+) channels in the plasma membrane. In support of this idea, in some cell types, store-operated channels in excised membrane patches appear to depend on the presence of both Ins(1,4,5)P(3) and Ins(1,4,5)P(3) receptors for activity; in addition, inhibitors of Ins(1,4,5)P(3) production that either block phospholipase C or inhibit phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase can block capacitative Ca(2+) entry. However, the electrophysiological current underlying capacitative Ca(2+) entry is not blocked by an Ins(1,4,5)P(3) receptor antagonist, and the blocking effects of a phospholipase C inhibitor are not reversed by the intracellular application of Ins(1,4,5)P(3). Furthermore, cells whose Ins(1,4,5)P(3) receptor genes have been disrupted can nevertheless maintain their capability to activate capacitative Ca(2+) entry channels in response to store depletion. A tentative conclusion is that multiple mechanisms for signaling capacitative Ca(2+) entry may exist, and involve conformational coupling in some cell types and perhaps a diffusible signal in others.

Phosphatidylinositol 4-kinases (PI4K) catalyze the first step in the synthesis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, an important lipid regulator of several cellular functions. Here we show that the Ca(2+)-binding protein, neuronal calcium sensor-1 (NCS-1), can physically associate with the type III PI4Kbeta with functional consequences affecting the kinase. Recombinant PI4Kbeta, but not its glutathione S-transferase-fused form, showed enhanced PI kinase activity when incubated with recombinant NCS-1, but only if the latter was myristoylated. Similarly, in vitro translated NCS-1, but not its myristoylation-defective mutant, was found associated with recombinant- or in vitro translated PI4Kbeta in PI4Kbeta-immunoprecipitates. When expressed in COS-7 cells, PI4Kbeta and NCS-1 formed a complex that could be immunoprecipitated with antibodies against either proteins, and PI 4-kinase activity was present in anti-NCS-1 immunoprecipitates. Expressed NCS-1-YFP showed co-localization with endogenous PI4Kbeta primarily in the Golgi, but it was also present in the walls of numerous large perinuclear vesicles. Co-expression of a catalytically inactive PI4Kbeta inhibited the development of this vesicular phenotype. Transfection of PI4Kbeta and NCS-1 had no effect on basal PIP synthesis in permeabilized COS-7 cells, but it increased the wortmannin-sensitive [(32)P]phosphate incorporation into phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate during Ca(2+)-induced phospholipase C activation. These results together indicate that NCS-1 is able to interact with PI4Kbeta also in mammalian cells and may play a role in the regulation of this enzyme in specific cellular compartments affecting vesicular trafficking.

The effects of phenylarsine oxide and a monoclonal antibody directed against type II phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase (PI4K) on the N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP)-stimulated respiratory burst and the PI4K activity in neutrophils were investigated. Fluorescence microscopic imaging showed that the antibody labeled with IANBD amide (N,N'-dimethyl-N-(iodoacetyl)-N'-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)ethylenediamine) could enter into the cytosol possibly by endocytosis. It was found that the antibody inhibited the fMLP-stimulated respiratory burst but had little effect on the phorbol myristate acetate-activated respiratory burst in neutrophils, whereas phenylarsine oxide inhibited both. It was found that even at higher concentration, the antibody could not completely inhibit the cell response. Using cells preincubated with human immunoglobulin G of the same concentration as the control, the maximal inhibition of the fMLP-stimulated respiratory burst by the antibody against type II PI4K was found to be about 70%, whereas the PI4K activity was inhibited by only about 40%. The discrepancy in depressing the cell response and the enzyme activity may be the result of depletion of the phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate or phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate pools during the incubation of cells with the antibody. Both the 40% inhibition of PI4K activity and 70% depression of the respiratory burst by the type II PI4K antibody may imply that at least 40% of the phosphatidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate was synthesized promptly by all forms of PI4K and phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase in the fMLP-activated cells. The results suggest that PI4K plays a central role in either phospholipase C or PI3K signaling and that PI3K, PI4K, and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase must be considered as an integrated family for the phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate initiated signaling.

Addition of ammonium sulphate to nitrogen-depleted yeast cells resulted in a transient increase in Ins(1,4,5)P(3), with a maximum concentration reached after 7-8 min, as determined by radioligand assay and confirmed by chromatography. Surprisingly, the transient increase in Ins(1,4,5)P(3) did not trigger an increase in the concentration of intracellular calcium, as determined in vivo using the aequorin method. Similar Ins(1,4,5)P(3) signals were also observed in wild-type cells treated with the phospholipase C inhibitor 3-nitrocoumarin and in cells deleted for the only phospholipase C-encoding gene in yeast, PLC1. This showed clearly that Ins(1,4,5)P(3) was not generated by phospholipase C-dependent cleavage of PtdIns(4,5)P(2). Apart from a transient increase in Ins(1,4,5)P(3), we observed a transient increase in PtdIns(4,5)P(2) after the addition of a nitrogen source to nitrogen-starved glucose-repressed cells. Inhibition by wortmannin of the phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase, Stt4, which is involved in PtdIns(4,5)P(2) formation, did not affect the Ins(1,4,5)P(3) signal, but significantly delayed the PtdIns(4,5)P(2) signal. Moreover, wortmannin addition inhibited the nitrogen-induced activation of trehalase and the subsequent mobilization of trehalose, suggesting a role for PtdIns(4,5)P(2) in nitrogen activation of the fermentable-growth-medium-induced signalling pathway.

The calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) is a G protein-coupled receptor that regulates physiological processes including Ca(2+) metabolism, Na(+), Cl(-), K(+), and H(2)0 balance, and the growth of some epithelial cells through diverse signaling pathways. Although many effects of CaR are mediated by the heterotrimeric G proteins Galpha(q) and Galpha(i), not all signaling pathways regulated by CaR have been identified. We used human embryonic kidney (HEK)-293 cells that stably express human CaR to study the regulation of inositol lipid metabolism by CaR. The nonfunctional mutant CaR(R796W) was used as a negative control. We found that CaR regulates phosphatidylinositol (PI) 4-kinase, the first step in inositol lipid biosynthesis. In cells pretreated with to inhibit phospholipase C activation and to block the degradation of PI 4,5-bisphosphate to form [(3)H]inositol trisphosphate (IP(3)), CaR stimulated the accumulation of [(3)H]PI monophosphate (PIP). Additionally, wortmannin, an inhibitor of both PI 3-kinase and type III PI 4-kinase, blocked CaR-stimulated accumulation of [(3)H]PIP and inhibited [(3)H]IP(3) production. CaR-stimulated inositol lipid synthesis was attributable to PI 4-kinase and not PI 3-kinase because CaR did not activate Akt, a downstream target of PI 3-kinase. CaR associates with PI 4-kinase based on the findings that CaR and the 110-kDa PI 4-kinase beta can be co-immunoprecipitated with antibodies against either CaR or PI 4-kinase. The PI-4 kinase in co-immunoprecipitates with anti-CaR antibody was activated in Ca(2+)-stimulated HEK-293 cells, which stably express the wild type CaR. Pertussis toxin did not affect the formation of [(3)H]IP(3) or the rise in intracellular Ca(2+) (Handlogten, M. E., Huang, C. F., Shiraishi, N., Awata, H., and Miller, R. T. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 13941-13948). RGS4, an accelerator of GTPase activity of members of the Galpha(i) and Galpha(q) families, attenuated the CaR-stimulated PLC activation and IP(3) accumulation, which is mediated by Galpha(q), but did not inhibit CaR-stimulated [(3)H]PIP formation. In HEK-293 cells, which express wild type CaR, Rho was enriched in immune complexes co-immunoprecipitated with the anti-CaR antibody. C(3) toxin, an inhibitor of Rho, also inhibited the CaR-stimulated [(3)H]IP(3) production but did not lead to CaR-stimulated [(3)H]PIP formation, reflecting inhibition of PI 4-kinase. Taken together, our data demonstrate that CaR stimulates PI 4-kinase, the first step in inositol lipid biosynthesis conversion of PI to PI 4-P by Rho-dependent and Galpha(q)- and Galpha(i)-independent pathways.

Actin assembly on membrane surfaces is an elusive process in which several phosphoinositides (PIPs) have been implicated. We have reconstituted actin assembly using a defined membrane surface, the latex bead phagosome (LBP), and shown that the PI(4,5)P(2)-binding proteins ezrin and/or moesin were essential for this process (). Here, we provide several lines of evidence that both preexisting and newly synthesized PI(4,5)P(2), and probably PI(4)P, are essential for phagosomal actin assembly; only these PIPs were routinely synthesized from ATP during in vitro actin assembly. Treatment of LBP with phospholipase C or with adenosine, an inhibitor of type II PI 4-kinase, as well as preincubation with anti-PI(4)P or anti-PI(4,5)P(2) antibodies all inhibited this process. Incorporation of extra PI(4)P or PI(4,5)P(2) into the LBP membrane led to a fivefold increase in the number of phagosomes that assemble actin. An ezrin mutant mutated in the PI(4,5)P(2)-binding sites was less efficient in binding to LBPs and in reconstituting actin assembly than wild-type ezrin. Our data show that PI 4- and PI 5-kinase, and under some conditions also PI 3-kinase, activities are present on LBPs and can be activated by ATP, even in the absence of GTP or cytosolic components. However, PI 3-kinase activity is not required for actin assembly, because the process was not affected by PI 3-kinase inhibitors. We suggest that the ezrin-dependent actin assembly on the LBP membrane may require active turnover of D4 and D5 PIPs on the organelle membrane.

Our studies of renal phosphoinositide levels and metabolism in the pcy mouse with polycystic kidney disease (PKD) suggest that phosphatidylinositol kinase (PtdInsK) and phospholipase C (PLC) are elevated in this renal disorder. Therefore, the steady-state levels of select isoforms of these enzymes were examined in renal cytosolic and particulate (detergent-soluble) fractions in male and female normal and CD1-pcy/pcy (pcy) mice at 60, 120 and 180 days of age, and in male and female normal and diseased (Han:SPRD-cy) rats at 28 and 70 days of age. Disease-related increases in phosphatidylinositol 4-kinasebeta (PtdIns4Kbeta) and PLC(gamma1) levels were present in both models. PtdIns4Kbeta levels were higher by as much as 233% in pcy mice and by 95% in diseased Han:SPRD-cy rats compared to normals of the same age and gender. Steady-state levels of PLC(gamma1) were as much as 74% and 35% higher in pcy mice and diseased Han:SPRD-cy rats, respectively, compared to their controls. The consistency of these alterations in two accepted models of PKD indicates the importance of the phosphoinositide signalling pathway in the evolution of this disorder, and represents a potential site for therapeutic intervention.

We have studied the Ca(2+)-dependence and wortmannin-sensitivity of the initial inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P(3)) response induced by activation of either histamine or muscarinic receptors in smooth muscle from guinea pig urinary bladder. Activation of H(1) receptors with histamine (100 microM) produced a significant elevation in Ins(1,4,5)P(3) levels with only 5s stimulation and in the presence of external Ca(2+). However, this response was abolished fully by either the prolonged absence of external Ca(2+) or the depletion of internal Ca(2+) stores with thapsigargin (100nM) or ryanodine (10 microM). In contrast, the same conditions only slightly reduced the initial Ins(1,4,5)P(3) response induced by carbachol. The prolonged incubation of smooth muscle in 10 microM wortmannin to inhibit type III PI 4-kinase abolished both the early histamine-evoked Ins(1,4,5)P(3) and Ca(2+) responses. Conversely, wortmannin did not alter Ca(2+) release induced by carbachol, despite a partial reduction of its Ins(1,4,5)P(3) response. Collectively, these data indicate that the detectable histamine-induced increase in Ins(1,4,5)P(3) is more the consequence of Ca(2+) release from internal stores than a direct activation of phospholipase C by H(1) receptors. In addition, the effect of wortmannin implies the existence of a Ca(2+)-dependent amplification loop for the histamine-induced Ins(1,4,5)P(3) response in smooth muscle.

Neuronal calcium sensor-1 (NCS-1) or the originally identified homologue frequenin belongs to a superfamily of EF-hand calcium binding proteins. Although NCS-1 is thought to enhance synaptic efficacy or exocytosis mainly by activating ion channel function, the detailed molecular basis for the enhancement is still a matter of debate. Here, mechanisms underlying the NCS-1-evoked enhancement of exocytosis were investigated using PC12 cells overexpressing NCS-1. NCS-1 was found to have a broad distribution in the cells being partially distributed in the cytosol and associated to vesicles and tubular-like structures. Biochemical and immunohistochemical studies indicated that NCS-1 partially colocalized with the light synaptic vesicle marker synaptophysin. When stimulated with UTP or bradykinin, agonists to phospholipase C-linked receptors, NCS-1 enhanced the agonist-mediated elementary and global Ca2+ signaling and increased the levels of downstream signals of phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase. NCS-1 enhanced the UTP-evoked exocytosis but not the depolarization-evoked Ca2+ responses or exocytosis, suggesting that the enhancement by NCS-1 should involve phospholipase C-linked receptor-mediated signals rather than the Ca2+ channels or exocytotic machinery per se. Taken together, NCS-1 enhances phosphoinositide turnover, resulting in enhancement of Ca2+ signaling and exocytosis. This is a novel regulatory mechanism of exocytosis that might involve the activation of phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase.

The polyamine spermine (N,N'bis[3-aminopropyl]-1,4-butanediamine) activates phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase (PtdIns(4)P5K) and phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase (PtdIns4K) in vitro. Spermine concentration increases that occur in proliferating cells were approximated in streptolysin O-permeabilized HL60 cells. When phospholipase C was activated by GTPgammaS in the presence of PITPalpha, 0.1-1.2 mM spermine evoked increases in PtdIns(4,5)P(2) contents in a dose-dependent manner to 110-170% of control and concomitantly decreased inositol phosphate formation by 10-50%. Spermine-induced increases in PtdIns(4,5)P(2) content in permeabilized cells also occurred during GTPgammaS stimulation in the absence of PITPalpha, were augmented in the presence of PITPalpha, occurred in unstimulated cells and were additive to PtdIns(4,5)P(2) formation evoked by ARF1, another activator of phosphoinositide kinases. Slowly developing spermine-evoked increases in PtdIns(4,5)P(2) contents occurred in nonpermeabilized cells that were abolished in the presence of a spermine transport inhibitor. Data are consistent with spermine at physiological concentrations evoking a PITPalpha-dependent shift in formation of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) from compartments that contained an active phospholipase C to compartments that were separated from an active PLC and from PtdIns(4,5)P(2) formed by ARF1.
