Semliki Forest virus inhibits phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthesis in baby hamster kidney-21 cells 6 h after infection. Viral infection reduced the incorporation of [1,2-14C]-ethanolamine into intact cells by approximately 50%. A similar reduction in the activity of the ethanolaminephosphotransferase (EC 2.7.8.1) was also observed. The apparent Km for CDPethanolamine was 60 muM for the microsomal enzymes from infected or mock-infected cells. In addition, exogenous diglyceride only stimulated by 1.5-fold the ethanolaminephosphotransferase from virus- or mock-infected cells, whereas the same diglyceride preparations stimulated the cholinephosphotransferase (EC 2.7.8.2) from baby hamster kidney cells by sixfold. Generation of endogenous diglyceride by pretreatment of the microsomes with phospholipase C (EC 3.1.4.3) stimulated the activity of the cholinephosphotransferase but not the ethanolaminephosphotranferase. Semliki Forest virus does not inhibit all microsomal enzymes, since the activities of NADH- K3Fe(CN)6 reductase and NADH dehydrogenase (EC 1.6.99.3) were not affected. The ethanolaminephosphotransferase from virus- and mock-infected cells showed similar profiles of activity as a function of temperature; this result and other studies suggest that that membranous environment of the ethanolaminephosphotransferase was not significantly modified by the virus.

Guinea pig liver microsomal and mitochondrial membranes were degraded with phospholipase C and D followed by partial biosynthetic reconstitution. Activities of phosphatidylinositol synthetase in microsomal membranes and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase were almost completely lost after phospholipase C and D treatment; almost complete restoration of the original activity was achieved after biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine in degraded microsomes, but was not reparable after biosynthesis of cytidinediphosphodiglycerides (CDP-diglycerides). The mitochondrial biosynthesis of polyglycerophosphatides was completely retained after degradation of these membranes with phospholipase C, but after similar treatment with phospholipase D, only about one-quarter of the original activity remained, the relative composition of polyglycerophosphatides being significantly different. The activity of NADPH-cytochrome c reductase of microsomes represented about 76% of the original activity after phospholipase C treatment, but only approximately 1% after treatment with phospholipase D. Although this activity could not be restored with CDP-diglyceride synthesis, it was restored to about 75% of the original activity after the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine in these fragments. These and additional experimental findings are discussed in terms of the relation between structural organization of lipids and proteins and enzymatic activities of membrane-bound phospholipid-synthesizing enzymes in microsomal and mitochondrial membranes isolated from guinea pig liver.

Plasma membranes as well as mitochondrial and microsomal subfractions were subjected to zone electrophoresis. Treatment with neuraminidase, phospholipase A or C does not influence the movement of plasma membranes and smooth microsomes. Trypsin increases mobility of plasma membranes and smooth by about 20%, and further treatment with phospholipase C decreases mobility of plasma membranes, total smooth and smooth I microsomes, which, however, is not the case with smooth II microsomes. Low concentrations of trypsin also solubilize enzyme proteins of smooth microsomes from phenobarbital-treated rat liver, but electrophoretic mobility is not increased, indicating structural differences in induced membranes. The mobility of the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes is significantly higher than that of submitochondrial particles. For microsomes the negative surface charge density occurs in the decreasing order of: ribosomes--rough--smooth I--smooth II. A 10 mM CsCl gradient decreases the mobility of rough microsomes by 40% and of ribosomes by 20% but has no effect on total smooth micromes. On the other hand, 5mM MgCl2 decreased the mobility of all three fractions. EDTA-treated rough and EDTA-treated smooth microsomes have the same electrophoretic mobilities. However, the mobilities of non-treated rough and smooth microsomes differ significantly from each other.

The phospholipids in rat brain microsomes were labeled with tritium by intracerebral administration of radioactive fatty acids and converted to diacylglycerol with phospholipase C. The latter lipid was hydrolyzed in situ at pH 4.8, to monoacylglycerol and fatty acid by the endogenous microsomal lipase. This paper provides an experimental approach to determine whether the lipid was degraded by enzyme molecules residing in its own membrane (intramembrane interaction) or an adjacent membrane (intermembrane interaction). Direct interaction between separate membranes containing enzyme or substrate showed the existence of the inter-membrane route while dilution experiments provided evidence for the presence of the intramembrane interaction as well. A probable difference in the mechanisms of these two interactions is suggested by different shapes of the curves that describe the reaction rate as a function of the endogenous substrate. The curve resulting from the intermembrane interaction was hyperbolic while that representing the intramembrane route was of a parabola-like shape. Competition experiments suggested that when given a choice between the two, the enzyme utilized preferentially the substrate molecules in its own membrane.

(1) The hydrolysis of (32)P- or myo-[2-(3)H]inositol-labelled rat liver microsomal phospholipids by rat liver lysosomal enzymes has been studied. (2) The relative rates of hydrolysis of phospholipids at pH4.5 are: sphingomyelin>phosphatidylethanolamine>phosphatidylcholine> phosphatidylinositol. (3) The predominant products of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine hydrolysis are their corresponding lyso-compounds, indicating a slow rate of total deacylation. (4) Ca(2+) inhibits the hydrolysis of all phospholipids, though only appreciably at high (>5mm) concentration. The hydrolysis of sphingomyelin is considerably less sensitive to Ca(2+) than that of glycerophospholipids. (5) Analysis of the water-soluble products of phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis (by using myo-[(3)H]inositol-labelled microsomal fraction as a substrate) produced evidence that more than 95% of the product is phosphoinositol, which was derived by direct cleavage from phosphatidylinositol, rather than by hydrolysis of glycerophosphoinositol. (6) This production of phosphoinositol, allied with negligible lysophosphatidylinositol formation and a detectable accumulation of diacylglycerol, indicates that lysosomes hydrolyse membrane phosphatidylinositol almost exclusively in a phospholipase C-like manner. (7) Comparisons are drawn between the hydrolysis by lysosomal enzymes of membrane substrates and that of pure phospholipid substrates, and also the possible role of phosphatidylinositol-specific lysosomal phospholipase C in cellular phosphatidylinositol catabolism is discussed.

The phospholipids of intact microsomal membranes were hydrolysed 50% by phospholipase C of Clostridium welchii, without loss of the secretory protein contents of the vesicle, which are therefore not permeable to the phospholipase. Phospholipids extracted from microsomes and dispersed by sonication were hydrolysed rapidly by phospholipase C-Cl. welchii with the exception of phosphatidylinositol. Assuming that only the phospholipids of the outside of the bilayer of the microsomal membrane are hydrolysed in intact vesicles, the composition of this leaflet was calculated as 84% phosphatidylcholine, 8% phosphatidylethanolamine, 9% sphingomyelin and 4% phosphatidylserine, and that of the inner leaflet 28% phosphatidylcholine, 37% phosphatidylethanolamine, 6% phosphatidylserine and 5% sphingomyelin. Microsomal vesicles were opened and their contents released in part by incubation with deoxycholate (0.098%) lysophosphatidycholine (0.005%) or treatment with the French pressure cell. Under these conditions, hydrolysis of the phospholipids by phospholipase C-Cl. welchii was increased and this was mainly due to increased hydrolysis of those phospholipids assigned to the inner leaflet of the bilayer, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylserine. Phospholipase A2 of bee venom and phospholipase C of Bacillus cereus caused rapid loss of vesicle contents and complete hydrolysis of the membrane phospholipids, with the exception of sphinogomyelin which is not hydrolysed by the former enzyme.

The relationship between the chain elongation of palmitoyl-CoA and phospholipid content in rat liver microsomes was studied. When liver microsomes were incubated with phospholipase C, microsomal phospholipids were linearly hydrolyzed during 10 min of incubation under the present experimental conditions. Coincident with the decrease in microsomal phospholipid content by phospholipase C treatment, the chain elongation activity also decreased linearly. The decreased chain elongation activity in phospholipase C-treated microsomes was completely or partially recovered by the addition of a sonicated dispersion of phosphatidylcholine, microsomal phospholipids or phosphatidylcholine/phosphatidylethanolamine mixtures. The extent of recovery of decreased activity by a sonicated dispersion of phosphatidylcholine/phosphatidylethanolamine mixture was gradually reduced by increasing amounts of phosphatidylethanolamine in the dispersion. In addition, the chain elongation activity in native nicrosomes was more stimulated by the addition of a sonicated dispersion of phosphatidylcholine alone than by that of phosphatidylcholine/phosphatidylethanolamine mixtures. The chain elongation activity of palmitoyl-CoA was inhibited by the addition of stearoyl-CoA which is the end-product of this reaction. The inhibitory effect of stearoyl-CoA was partially eliminated by the addition of a sonicated dispersion of phosphatidylcholine. The increase of the chain elongation activity in native and phospholipase C-treated microsomes by the addition of a sonicated dispersion of phosphatidylcholine was not related to the activity of fatty acyl-CoA hydrolase.

To elucidate the mode of action of AC-3579, a diazafluoranthen derivative, the effects of the drug were tested, in incubations with rat liver homogenates on three phospholipases: the endogenous microsomal phospholipase A and the exogenous phospholipases A2 and C. The rates of hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine, the main liver phospholipids, were significantly decreased in liver of treated animals. This inhibition was more marked in experiments with exogenous phospholipase A than with phospholipase C. For phospholipid the difference observed may be due to the decrease in activity of endogenous phospholipase A in livers of treated rats. On the other hand, the addition to the incubation media of AC-3579 or of homogenates of AC-3579-treated rat livers did not modify the action of the three phospholipases on phospholipids from normal rat liver homogenates. It is concluded that AC-3579 forms with the hydrophobic moiety of the phospholipids of smooth endoplasmic reticulum a reversible complex less accessible to the activity of phospholipase A. This mechanism accounts for the decrease in phospholipid catabolism, previously observed in vivo, which leads to hypertrophy of smooth endoplasmic reticulum and to the formation of lamellate cytosomes.

A phospholipase C prepared from lymphocytes readily hydrolysed pure phosphatidyl-inositol but was relatively ineffective against phosphatidylinositol in erythrocyte "ghosts" and rat liver microsomal fraction and also against sonicated lipid extracts from these membranes. In contrast, a phospholipase C prepared from Staphylcoccus aureus readily hydrolysed phosphatidylinositol in sonicated lipid extracts but had only low activity against purified phosphatidylinositol. Unlike the enzyme from lymphocytes, the S. aureus phospholipase C did not require Ca2+ for its activity and was inhibited by cations. The previously reported specificity of this enzyme was confirmed by our observation of hydrolysis of approx. 75% of the phosphatidylinositol in ox, sheep and cat erythrocyte "ghosts" together with no detectable effect on the major erythrocyte membrane phospholipids. The phosphatidylinositol of rat liver microsomal fraction was hydrolysed only to a maximum of 15%. Some preliminary experiments showed that approx. 60% of the phosphatidylinositol of ox or sheep erythrocytes could be hydrolysed without causing substantial haemolysis.

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) is an intracellular messenger generated from the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate by phospholipase C in response to Ca(2+)-mobilizing stimuli. InsP3 interacts with a specific receptor responsible for the release of sequestered Ca2+ from an intracellular store. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the relative affinities of the naturally occurring D-isomer of InsP3 and that of its L-stereoisomer for the InsP3 receptor and the InsP3 metabolizing enzymes from bovine adrenal cortex. The InsP3 receptor recognized D- and L-isomers with respective affinities of 4.8 nM and 7.3 microM. This high degree of selectivity was also reflected in the capacity of both isomers to mobilize Ca2+ from the microsomal preparation. The partially purified InsP3 kinase preparation was also able to discriminate between the two stereoisomers. The activity of the kinase was half-maximally inhibited in the presence of 11 microM L-InsP3, a value much higher than the Km of the kinase for D-InsP3 (0.4 microM). Both stereoisomers exhibited equipotent affinities (around 17 microM) for the particulate preparation of InsP3 phosphatase. The enzyme, however, appeared to hydrolyze L-InsP3 at a much slower rate. These results demonstrated that the different recognition sites for InsP3 were expressing distinct levels of stereoselectivity. This property, which is an important aspect of ligand-receptor interaction, could be exploited for the design of new selective drugs interfering with InsP3 action and metabolism.
