Cell surface proteins anchored to membranes via covalently attached glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) have been implicated in neuronal adhesion, promotion of neurite outgrowth and directed cell migration. Treatment of grasshopper embryos with bacterial phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC), an enzyme that cleaves the GPI anchor, often induced disruptions in the highly stereotyped migrations of peripheral pioneer growth cones and afferent neuron cell bodies. In distal limb regions of embryos treated with PI-PLC at early stages of pioneer axon outgrowth, growth cones lost their proximal orientation toward the central nervous system (CNS) and turned distally. Pioneer growth cones in treated limbs also failed to make a characteristic ventral turn along the trochanter-coxa (Tr-Cx) segment boundary, and instead continued to grow proximally across the boundary. Treatment at an earlier stage of development caused pre-axonogenesis Cx1 neurons to abandon their normal circumferential migration and reorient toward the CNS. None of these abnormal phenotypes were observed in limbs of untreated embryos or embryos exposed to other phospholipases that do not release GPI-anchored proteins. Incubation of embryos with PI-PLC effectively removed immunoreactivity for fasciclin I, a GPI-anchored protein expressed on a subset of neuronal surfaces. These results suggest that cell surface GPI-anchored proteins are involved in pioneer growth cone guidance and in pre-axonogenesis migration of neurons in the grasshopper limb bud in vivo.

The phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) from mammalian sources catalyzes the simultaneous formation of both inositol 1,2-cyclic phosphate (IcP) and inositol 1-phosphate (IP). It has not been established whether the two products are formed in sequential or parallel reactions, even though the latter has been favored in previous reports. This problem was investigated by using a stereochemical approach. Diastereomers of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-(1D- [16O,17O]phosphoinositol) ([16O,17O]DPPI) and 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-(1D-thiophosphoinositol) (DPPsI) were synthesized, the latter with known configuration. Desulfurization of the DPPsI isomers of known configurations in H2(18)O gave [16O,18O]DPPI with known configurations, which allowed assignment of the configurations of [16O,17O]DPPI on the basis of 31P NMR analyses of silylated [16O,18O]DPPI and [16O,17O]DPPI (the inositol moiety was fully protected in this operation). (Rp)- and (Sp)-[16O,17O]DPPI were then converted into trans- and cis-[16O,17O]IcP, respectively, by PI-PLC from Bacillus cereus, which had been shown to proceed with inversion of configuration at phosphorus [Lin, G., Bennett, F. C., & Tsai, M.-D. (1990) Biochemistry 29, 2747-2757]. 31P NMR analysis was again used to differentiate the silylated products of the two isomers of IcP, which then permitted assignments of IcP with unknown configuration derived from transesterification of (Rp)- and (Sp)-[16O,17O]DPPI by bovine brain PI-PLC-beta 1. The results indicated inversion of configuration, in agreement with the steric course of the same reaction catalyzed by PI-PLCs from B. cereus and guinea pig uterus reported previously. For the steric course of the formation of inositol 1-phosphate catalyzed by PI-PLC, (Rp)- and (Sp)-[16O,17O]DPPI were hydrolyzed in H2(18)O to afford 1-[16O,17O,18O]IP, which was then converted to IcP chemically and analyzed by 31P NMR. The results indicated that both B. cereus PI-PLC and the PI-PLC-beta 1 from bovine brain catalyze conversion of DPPI to IP with overall retention of configuration at phosphorus. These results suggest that both bacterial and mammalian PI-PLCs catalyze the formation of IcP and IP by a sequential mechanism. However, the conversion of IcP to IP was detectable by 31P NMR only for the bacterial enzyme. Thus an alternative mechanism in which IcP and IP are formed by totally independent pathways, with formation of IP involving a covalent enzyme-phosphoinositol intermediate, cannot be ruled out for the mammalian enzyme. It was also found that both PI-PLCs displayed lack of stereo-specifically toward the 1,2-diacylglycerol moiety, which suggests that the hydrophobic part of phosphatidylinositol is not recognized by PI-PLC.

Purified M1 muscarinic cholinergic receptor and Gq/11 were coreconstituted in lipid vesicles. Addition of purified phospholipase C-beta 1 (PLC-beta 1) further stimulated the receptor-promoted steady-state GTPase activity of Gq/11 up to 20-fold. Stimulation depended upon receptor-mediated GTP-GDP exchange. Addition of PLC-beta 1 caused a rapid burst of hydrolysis of Gq/11-bound GTP that was at least 50-fold faster than in its absence. Thus, PLC-beta 1 stimulates hydrolysis of Gq/11-bound GTP and acts as a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for its physiologic regulator, Gq/11. GTPase-stimulating activity was specific both for PLC-beta 1 and Gq/11. Such GAP activity by an effector coupled to a trimeric G protein can reconcile slow GTP hydrolysis by pure G proteins in vitro with fast physiologic deactivation of G protein-mediated signaling.

The addition of ammonium sulfate to starved yeast cells leads to a 3- to 4-fold rapid increase of the second messengers inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG), the products of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC). This response is reduced by dissecting the RAS-activating Cdc25 protein, and is completely abolished by the cdc25-1 mutation even at permissive temperature. Starved cdc25-1 mutant cells have a strongly reduced IP3 content, but an at least 10-fold increased DAG level compared to the isogenic wild-type strain. NH4 does not stimulate cAMP synthesis, and glucose does not induce IP3 and DAG. Our data suggest that the Cdc25 protein controls a nitrogen-specific signalling pathway involving the effector PI-PLC, in addition to the glucose-induced activation of adenylyl cyclase (AC).

The relative specificities of members of the G alpha q family of GTP-binding proteins were tested for their ability to activate different phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) beta isozymes. Cos-7 cells were transfected with cDNA corresponding to G alpha q, G alpha 11, G alpha 14, and G alpha 16. Most of the recombinant protein was bound to the cell membrane and these membranes were washed to elute endogenous PI-PLC activity. The membrane preparation was reconstituted with purified preparations of the PI-PLC beta isozymes and guanosine 5'-O-thiotriphosphate (GTP gamma S)-stimulated enzyme activity was measured. All four proteins of the G alpha q family were found to stimulate PI-PLC beta 1, with G alpha q and G alpha 11 being most efficient. On the other hand, G alpha 16 was found to most effectively activate PI-PLC beta 2, while G alpha q, G alpha 11, and G alpha 14 showed less stimulation. Specific anti- G alpha 16 antibody blocked the stimulation of both PI-PLC beta 1 and PI-PLC beta 2 in the enriched membrane fraction. We conclude that there is specificity in the interaction of different members of the Gq family with different PI-PLC beta effectors. This specificity may be important in generating tissue- or receptor-specific responses in vivo.

Biotin derivatives of methotrexate (biotin-SS-MTX) and folate (biotin-SS-folate), in which the functional components are joined by a dissociable disulfide-containing spacer, have been synthesized, purified by DEAE-Trisacryl chromatography, and characterized by HPLC, elemental analysis and mass spectrometry. These compounds provide a convenient means for the single-step purification of the folate transporters from L1210 cells. Parental L1210 murine leukemia cells, which contain only the microM transporter (the reduced folate/MTX transport protein) were treated with the N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide ester of biotin-SS-MTX, and a detergent extract of the plasma membranes was exposed to streptavidin-agarose beads to adsorb the labeled protein. Dithiothreitol cleavage of the disulfide linkage released the transporter, which migrated as a well-defined component (43 kDa) on SDS-PAGE gels; no other proteins were present. An L1210 subline (JF), obtained by adapting cells to grow on nanomolar concentrations of folate, contains both the microM transporter and the nM transporter (high-affinity folate binding protein). When these cells were treated with the N-hydroxysulfosuccimide ester of biotin-SS-folate and processed as described above, analysis on SDS-PAGE gels revealed the presence of two proteins, the microM transporter (43 kDa) and the nM transporter (39 kDa). Both transporters were characterized with respect to amino acid content; blocked N-termini precluded Edman sequencing. Treatment of the nM transporter with peptide:N-glycosidase F produced a smaller component (32 kDa); the microM transporter, conversely, was unchanged by this procedure. When the microM transporter in parental L1210 cells was labeled with fluorescein-MTX and then treated with phosphoinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC), no change in fluorescence was detected. Alternatively, when the nM transporter in the JF subline was labeled with fluorescein-folate and then treated with PI-PLC, complete loss of fluorescence was observed. These results indicate that the L1210 microM transporter is a non-glycosylated, integral membrane protein, while its nM counterpart is heavily glycosylated and anchored exofacially to the membrane by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol component.

Hydrolysis of exogenously added, [3H]inositol-labeled, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) by rat parotid membranes was increased, dose-dependently, by the muscarinic cholinergic agonist carbamylcholine (carbachol) in the presence of guanosine 5'-O-thiotriphosphate (GTP gamma S). The stimulation was inhibited by atropine and guanosine 5'-O-thiodiphosphate (GDP beta S). GTP gamma S alone stimulated PIP2 hydrolysis, with half-maximal activation at 0.1 microM. This was inhibited by GDP beta S but not by atropine. Agonist stimulation of PIP2 hydrolysis was dependent on the presence of lipids (phosphatidylserine:phosphatidylethanolamine:PIP2 = 1:1:1). When PIP2 was added as micelles with detergent (sodium deoxycholate) only, basal hydrolysis was elevated, thus decreasing the relative stimulation by GTP gamma S and carbachol. The water-soluble hydrolysis products formed under either condition were 1,4,5-inositol trisphosphate, 1,4-inositol bisphosphate, and cyclic inositol trisphosphate. Hydrolysis of exogenous phosphatidylinositol (PI) was also stimulated by carbachol in the presence of GTP gamma S but the extent of PI hydrolysis was 44-fold lower than PIP2 hydrolysis. When [Ca2+] in the medium was increased from 100 nM to 1 microM, basal hydrolysis of both PI and PIP2 increased (9.3- and 19.2-fold, respectively). However, levels of basal and stimulated PIP2 hydrolysis were higher (37.9- and 29.6-fold, respectively) than those of PI hydrolysis. Antibodies (both polyclonal and monoclonal) raised against phospholipase C (PLC beta 1) from bovine brain did not react with any component in either rat parotid membranes or cytosol, although a reactivity was detected in rat brain membranes. A monoclonal antibody against bovine brain PLC gamma 1 detected a approximately 150-kDa protein only in the parotid cytosol, while antisera against bovine brain PLC delta 1 enzyme showed no reactivity with parotid membranes or cytosol. Together, these observations suggest that while there appears to be a protein similar to bovine brain PLC gamma 1 in parotid gland cytosol, the PLC which mediates PIP2 hydrolysis in rat parotid membranes and can be regulated by the muscarinic receptor via a G-protein is distinct from the well-characterized PLC enzymes gamma 1, delta 1, and beta 1.

The activity of neutrophil cytosolic phospholipase C on PIP2 and PI was compared employing [3H]inositol-labeled heat-inactivated membranes of differentiated HL-60 cells, into which tracer [32P]PIP2 was incorporated. Hydrolysis of PIP2 did not require Ca2+ and was stimulated when the content of PIP2 in the membrane was increased by incorporation of unlabeled inositol lipid. At equal concentrations of PI and PIP2 in the membrane, hydrolysis of PIP2 was faster and no evidence of competition between the two substrates was obtained. Incorporation of PI into PE-[32P]PIP2 vesicles, accelerated PIP2 hydrolysis also at conditions that favor hydrolysis of PI. Partial purification of neutrophil cytosolic PLC on Q Sepharose, phenyl Sepharose and heparin-Agarose columns is described. From heparin-Agarose column, two PLC activity peaks exhibiting different substrate specificities were eluted. The elution profile of the main PLC species from Superose 12 gel filtration column was compatible with an approx. 150 kDa protein.

Phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PtdIns-PLC) of Bacillus cereus catalyzes the conversion of PtdIns to inositol cyclic 1:2-phosphate and diacylglycerol. NIH 3T3, Swiss mouse 3T3, CV-1, and Cos-7 cells were transfected with a cDNA encoding this enzyme, and the metabolic and cellular consequences were investigated. Overexpression of PtdIns-PLC enzyme activity was associated with elevated levels of inositol cyclic 1:2-phosphate (2.5-70-fold), inositol 1-phosphate (2-20-fold), and inositol 2-phosphate (3-20-fold). The increases correlated with the levels of enzyme expression obtained in each cell type. The turnover of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) was also increased in transfected CV-1 cells by 13-fold 20 h after transfection. The levels of PtdIns, phosphatidic acid, diacylglycerol, or other inositol phosphates were not detectably altered. Expression of bacterial PtdIns-PLC decreased rapidly after 20 h implying that either the increased PtdIns turnover or the accumulation of inositol phosphates was detrimental to cells and that by some adaptive mechanism enzyme expression was suppressed.

In order to study the regulatory mechanisms of phospholipase C-gamma (PLC-gamma) via the intrinsic SH2/SH3 region (Z region), two recombinant Z proteins, rP45Z and rP38Z, derived from rat PLC-gamma 1 and PLC-gamma 2, respectively, were purified from the inclusion bodies of Escherichia coli. We examined their direct effects on phosphoinositide hydrolysis induced by four different PLC isoforms purified from bovine brain and thymus, and found that both of these Z proteins suppress the enzyme activity of all four PLC isoforms in a dose-dependent manner. This suppressive effect is very potent and stoichiometric. The kinetics studies indicate that the suppression is non-competitive. This suppression is eliminated by treatment with proteases but is not affected by heat treatment at 95 degrees C for 15 min, indicating that the primary structure might be important for the action of Z proteins. Comparative studies suggested that two Z proteins but not Src and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase possess, adjacent to their SH2 and SH3 motifs, a phospholipase C inhibitor (PCI) region that strongly suppresses their phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2)-hydrolyzing activity. A series of synthetic peptides identical with the sequence of the proposed PCI region, including an octamer, YRKMRLRY, inhibited PIP2 hydrolysis induced by four different phospholipase C isoforms. These results demonstrate that both types of phospholipase C-gamma contain the PCI sequence which is responsible for the inhibition of PIP2 hydrolysis, indicating that phospholipase C-gamma is a self-regulating enzyme.
