The role of the surrounding membrane structure on the binding characteristics of the insulin receptor was studied by using several digestive enzymes. The effects observed with particulate membrane preparations are compared with those from soluble receptor preparations. beta-Galactosidase and neuraminidase had no effect on insulin binding to either particulate or soluble receptors from human placentae. Exposure to 2 units of phospholipase C/ml increased insulin binding to particulate membranes, but was without effect on the soluble receptor preparation. The increase in binding to particulate membranes was shown to be due to an increase in apparent receptor number. After 5 min exposure to 500 microgram of trypsin/ml there was an increase in insulin binding to the particulate membrane fraction, owing to an increase in receptor affinity. After 15 min exposure to this amount of trypsin, binding decreased, owing to a progressive decrease in receptor availability. In contrast, this concentration of trypsin had no effect on the solubilized receptor preparation. Because of the differential effects of phospholipase C and trypsin on the particulate compared with the solubilized receptor preparations, it is concluded that the effects of these enzymes were due to an effect on the surrounding membrane structure. Changes in receptor configuration due to alterations within the adjoining membrane provide a potential mechanism for mediating short-term alterations in receptor function.

To study the role of membrane lipids in signal transduction by the insulin receptor, we have studied the effect of phospholipase C (Clostridium perfringens) and a phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase (Staphylococcus aureus) on insulin binding, a function of the alpha-subunit, and tyrosine kinase activity, a function of the beta-subunit in IM-9 lymphocytes and NIH 3T3 fibroblasts transfected with the human insulin receptor. Treatment of the cells with phospholipase C at concentrations up to 3.4 U/ml did not affect specific insulin binding, but reduced insulin-stimulated receptor phosphorylation by 50%. This effect of phospholipase C was observed within 10 min of treatment and occurred with no change in the basal level of phosphorylation. Pre-treatment of cells with insulin for 5 min prior to enzyme addition prevented any change in kinase activity. Insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of pp 185, the presumed endogenous substrate for the insulin receptor kinase, was also reduced following phospholipase C treatment, with an almost complete loss of insulin stimulation after exposure of cells to enzyme at concentrations as low as 0.6 U/ml. In contrast to these effects of phospholipase C on intact cells, receptor autophosphorylation was not affected in insulin receptors purified on wheat germ agglutinin-agarose from phospholipase C treated cells. Likewise, the phospholipase C effect was reduced by the addition of phosphatidylcholine, but not by the addition of the protease inhibitors, aprotinin and phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, to the incubation indicating its dependence on phospholipid hydrolysis. Treatment of cells with the phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C did not affect any of the parameters studied.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The interactions of the phosphotyrosine (Tyr(P))-containing proteins in basal and insulin-stimulated 3T3-L1 adipocytes with src homology 2 (SH2) domains from phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), ras GTPase-activating protein (GAP), and phospholipase C gamma have been examined. The Tyr(P) forms of the insulin receptor and its 160-kDa substrate protein (pp160) associated with fusion proteins containing either or both the SH2 domains of PI3K, but not with fusion proteins containing the two SH2 domains of GAP or phospholipase C gamma. These results demonstrate a specificity for the association of the Tyr(P) form of the insulin receptor and pp160 with SH2 domains that parallels the reported effects of insulin on PI3K, GAP, and phospholipase C gamma in vivo. Immunoprecipitates of pp160 from the cytosol of insulin-treated, but not basal, 3T3-L1 adipocytes contained PI3K activity. Moreover, the Tyr(P) form of pp160 with associated PI3K activity migrated at 10 S on a sucrose velocity gradient, whereas the Tyr(P) form without associated activity migrated at 6 S. These findings indicate that the Tyr(P) form of pp160 associates directly with PI3K in vivo.

The human insulin receptor exists in two isoforms, HIR-A and HIR-B. We studied whether both insulin receptor isotypes are able to mediate an insulin signal to phospholipase C. Plasma membranes were prepared from rat-1 fibroblasts transfected either with HIR-A or HIR-B and insulin stimulated PIP-hydrolysis was determined. We found that insulin stimulates PIP-hydrolysis in a similar dose dependent manner and to a similar extent in plasma membranes expressing HIR-A and HIR-B. These data suggest that both receptor isoforms are equally able to activate phospholipase-C.

The findings reported herein indicate that insulin rapidly perturbs phospholipid metabolism and consequent intracellular signalling, in its target tissues by two fully separable mechanisms. One of these mechanisms involves a pertussis toxin-sensitive Gi alpha, which probably serves to couple the insulin receptor to a PI-glycan phospholipase C, which, in turn, leads to the release of HGM and consequent activation of de novo PA synthesis. The second mechanism is PC hydrolysis, which is pertussis toxin-insensitive. Both mechanisms serve as important sources of DAG during insulin action, and PKC appears to be activated by DAG derived from both pathways. Although DAG may be derived from each of these signalling pathways, it is clear that PI-glycan HGM will only be derived from pertussis toxin-sensitive PI-glycan hydrolysis. These findings may help to explain why some, but not all, insulin effects are inhibited by pertussis toxin and are therefore apparently dependent upon Gi alpha. Whether or not other G-proteins are important in other phospholipid signalling pathways during insulin action, e.g., PC hydrolysis, remains to be determined.

Phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C isozyme gamma (PLC-gamma, Mr 145,000) is an excellent substrate for the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor both in vivo and in vitro. PLC-beta-1, another PLC isozyme, is a poor substrate for the EGF receptor. We examined the relative phosphorylation of PLC-gamma and PLC-beta-1 by the 170-kDa native EGF receptor molecule, the 66-kDa cytoplasmic kinase domain of the EGF receptor (Arg647-Ala1186), the alpha 2 beta 2 native insulin receptor, and the 48-kDa cytoplasmic kinase domain of the insulin receptor beta subunit (Gly947-Ser1343). Similar to the intact EGF receptor, the cytoplasmic kinase domain of the EGF receptor preferentially phosphorylated PLC-gamma. High-performance liquid chromatographic comparison of tryptic phosphopeptides from PLC-gamma phosphorylated by both forms of the EGF receptor kinase indicated similar patterns of multiple tyrosine phosphorylations. These results imply that substrate selectivity, at least in terms of PLC isozymes, is independent of the extracellular ligand-binding and membrane anchor domains of the EGF receptor. In comparison, neither the intact insulin receptor nor the beta-chain kinase domain was able to phosphorylate PLC-gamma to a significant extent. Also, insulin failed to stimulate the phosphorylation of PLC-gamma in NIH 3T3/HIR cells, which overexpress the human insulin receptor. Thus PLC-gamma is not a phosphorylation substrate for the insulin receptor in vitro or in the intact cell.

A glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) has been previously identified that serves as a precursor of the polar head group that mimics and may mediate some of the intracellular actions of insulin. Since many of the biological activities of insulin may depend upon the activity of the insulin receptor kinase, we evaluated the requirement for this activity in insulin-dependent GPI hydrolysis. For the analysis we used stably transfected CHO cell lines, expressing either the wild-type human insulin receptor or a mutant receptor that lacks tyrosine kinase activity (Chou et al., 1987) and a stably transfected CHO cell line, expressing the wild-type human insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-1) receptor (Steele-Perkins et al., 1988). A GPI was identified in both types of transfected cells and in both sets of parental cells by metabolic labeling with [3H]glucosamine or [3H]galactose. The isolated glycolipid was sensitive to hydrolysis by phospholipase C and to deamination by nitrous acid. Insulin induced a time- and dose-dependent hydrolysis of the GPI in the parental line and in the transfected cell types. Cells bearing normal human receptors hydrolyzed up to 70% of their radiolabeled GPI within 2 min of the addition of 0.1 nM insulin, whereas parental cells and cells expressing the mutant receptor hydrolyzed only 20-30% in response to 100 nM insulin. IGF-1 (5-50 nM) had little effect on GPI hydrolysis in these cells as well as in CHO cells expressing the human IGF-1 receptor. It is concluded that insulin-dependent GPI hydrolysis is mediated by the normal but not by a kinase-deficient insulin receptor.

Proteinkinase-C (PKC) stimulating phorbolesters induce in vitro insulin resistance of isolated adipocytes. This effect might be explained by an inhibition of insulin signal transduction at the level of the insulin receptor kinase. There is now some evidence that a phospholipase C is a potential candidate as a signal transducer at the postreceptor level. In order to determine whether phorbol esters might inhibit insulin signalling also at the level of a phospholipase C, we studied the insulin dependent [3H] phosphatidylinositol 4-monophosphate (PIP) hydrolysis of fat cell membranes. PIP hydrolysis was measured after in vitro stimulation with and without insulin. Insulin stimulated PIP hydrolysis in a dose dependent way. When plasma membranes from phorbolester (TPA) treated fat cells were used, this insulin stimulated phospholipase C activity was suppressed, provided, membranes have been prepared in a buffer containing serine phosphatase inhibitors. These data suggest that fat cell membranes contain an insulin dependent phospholipase C which is inhibited by TPA most likely via serine phosphorylation through proteinkinase C.

We have characterized a plasma membrane phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2)-specific phospholipase C (PLC) and a cytosolic phosphatidylinositol (PI)-specific PLC in human liver. Epinephrine, 1 x 10(-5) M, and vasopressin, 1 x 10(-8) M, stimulated PIP2-PLC which was enhanced by guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S). PI-PLC stimulation was not observed by these agents. Insulin and insulin-like growth factors (IGF-I and IGF-II) in the presence and absence of GTP gamma S did not stimulate PIP2-PLC or PI-PLC in plasma membranes and cytosol preparations nor phosphoinositide breakdown in isolated human hepatocytes. Furthermore, serendipitly we found that PIP2-PLC activity was increased in liver membranes from obese patients with type II diabetes when compared to obese and lean controls. We conclude that in human liver, insulin and IGFs are not members of the family of hormones generating inositol trisphosphate (IP3) as a second messenger. Furthermore, the increased PIP2-PLC in diabetic liver may result in: (a) increased intracellular concentrations of IP3 and thus increased Ca2+, which has been postulated to induce insulin resistance; and (b) increased diacylglycerol and thus increased protein kinase C which phosphorylates the insulin receptor at serine residues inactivating the insulin receptor kinase. While the mechanism of increased PIP2-PLC activity in diabetes is unknown, it may initiate a cascade of events that result in insulin resistance.

This review seeks to assemble recent discoveries about insulin receptor/kinase, guanine nucleotide-binding proteins, phosphatidyl inositol metabolism, and protein phosphatases to provide a mechanistic pathway by which insulin would alter carbohydrate and fat metabolism. It proposes a hypothetical chain of events that leads from the insulin receptor to protein phosphatase-1. The sequence starts with insulin binding to its receptor, activating the intrinsic receptor/kinase activity. The insulin receptor phosphorylates a guanine nucleotide-binding protein, which activates a particular phospholipase C. This in turn stimulates the production of two lipid-derived messengers: inositol-phospho-glucosamine and diacylglycerol. These messengers trigger the effects of insulin. The diacylglycerol produced by insulin is thought to be analogous to the diacylglycerol produced by alpha-adrenergic stimulation, which activates protein kinase C. Activation of this kinase could account for increases in phosphorylation of certain proteins. The inositol-phospho-glucosamine is the cytosolic messenger for insulin. One of the enzymes activated by insulin is protein phosphatase type-1. It is known that the phosphatase decreases phosphorylation of certain target enzymes. In response to insulin, activation of protein phosphatase type-1 occurs with a stable conformational change that may involve rearrangement of disulfide bonds. Rearrangement is either directly in response to the cytosolic messenger or is catalyzed by an isomerase activated by the insulin messenger. Ultimately, protein phosphatase type-1 and/or the disulfide isomerase may together mediate the pleiotropic effects of insulin on carbohydrate and fat metabolism.
