1. The membrane anchor of aminopeptidase N associated with larval midgut cell membranes of the silkworm, Bombyx mori, was investigated by using phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PIPLC) and proteases. 2. Aminopeptidase N, which was virtually all localized in the brush border membrane, was solubilized by PIPLC but not by papain or trypsin. 3. Detergent-solubilized amphiphilic aminopeptidase N was converted into a hydrophilic form by PIPLC but not by papain. 4. Either of these effects of PIPLC on aminopeptidase N was maximally 40%. 5. These results suggest that in larval midgut cells of the silkworm, B. mori, at least 40% aminopeptidase N is anchored in the brush border membrane via glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol.

A number of cell surface proteins have been shown to be anchored to the plasma membrane by a covalently attached glycoinositol phospholipid (GPL) in amide linkage to the C-terminus of the mature protein. We applied several criteria to establish that folate binding protein (FBP) in brush border membranes of rat kidney contains a GPL anchor. Brush border membranes were isolated and labeled with [3H]folate, and the complex of FBP and [3H]folate was shown to be released to the supernatant by incubation with purified bacterial phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PIPLC) but not by incubation with a purified bacterial phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C. The FBP-[3H]folate complex both in crude extracts and after FBP purification by ligand-directed affinity chromatography interacted with Triton X-114 micelles, and prior incubation with PIPLC prevented this detergent interaction. Individual residues characteristic of GPL anchors were found to be covalently associated with FBP following polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate. These included glucosamine and ethanolamine, which were radiolabeled by reductive methylation and identified by chromatography on an amino acid analyzer, and inositol phosphate, which was inferred by Western blotting with an anti-CRD antisera. This antisera gave positive immunostaining only after FBP had been cleaved by PIPLC, a reliable diagnostic of a GPL anchor. The relationship between GPL-anchored FBP in biological membranes and soluble FBP in biological fluids also is discussed.

Inorganic phosphate (Pi) is reabsorbed mainly in the proximal tubule, by a second active Na-dependent transport mechanism. Na/Pi cotransport with a stoichiometry exceeding unity mediates uphill flux across the brush border membrane; at the basolateral cell surface, two separate transport systems are involved in equilibrating Pi fluxes. The protein structure of a rabbit renal cortex Na/Pi cotransport system has been identified recently by expression cloning. The regulation of tubular Pi reabsorption involves mainly alterations in the transport rate of the brush border membrane Na/Pi cotransport system. The regulation of this transport step by either parathyroid hormone (PTH) or Pi deprivation is discussed, mostly on the basis of observations made with a tissue culture model, OK cells derived from opossum kidney. In this model, PTH may use a dual signaling cascade to inhibit apical Na/Pi cotransport (phospholipase C/protein kinase C and adenylate cyclase/protein kinase A). PTH action on Na/Pi cotransport may involve an endocytosis mechanism. For the regulation of apical Na/Pi cotransport by chronic Pi deprivation, the number of "Na/Pi cotransporter" molecules seems to be unaffected; the increased transport rate is apparently related to an "unknown" stimulating event at the membrane level (e.g., a change in the lipid microenvironment), which itself is under the control of protein synthesis/degradation. The availability of new tools (cloning of Na/Pi cotransporter(s) and of PTH receptor(s)) will allow us to enter into a new era in the study of cellular mechanisms involved in proximal tubular Pi reabsorption.

We have reported the presence of dopamine-1 (DA-1) and dopamine-2 (DA-2) receptors in renal brush border and basolateral membranes. DA-1 agonists stimulate adenylate cyclase (AC) and phospholipase C (PLC) activity in both membranes. Moreover, the ability of a DA-1 agonist (fenoldopam) to stimulate PLC activity is independent of AC activity. A DA-2 agonist (LY171555) by itself was without effect and did not enhance the ability of the DA-1 agonist to stimulate PLC activity. The DA-1 but not DA-2 agonists inhibit Na+/H+ exchange activity in brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV) and Na+/K(+)-ATPase activity in basolateral membranes. However, cAMP inhibits, while protein kinase C (presumably via PLC activity) stimulates, Na+/H+ exchange activity. We therefore determined the effect of DA-1 agonists on Na+/H+ exchange activity when PLC or AC activity was blocked using neomycin or dideoxyadenosine, respectively. The drugs were incubated with minced renal cortex prior to preparation of BBMV by differential centrifugation and MnCl2 precipitation. Enrichment of BBMV was not affected by drug treatment. The Na+/H+ exchange activity was assessed by measuring amiloride (1 mmol/L) sensitive 22Na+ uptake in BBMV (pHi = 5.5, pHo = 7.5, Nai+ = O, Nao+ = 1 mmol/L). Neomycin inhibited DA and DA-1-stimulated PLC activity in BBMV in a concentration dependent manner (10(-6) to 10(-4) mol/L). Neomycin (10(-4) mol/L) completely blocked the ability of DA and DA-1 agonist to stimulate PLC activity but had no consistent effect on DA-1 inhibited Na+/H+ exchange activity. Dideoxyadenosine inhibited DA and DA-1 simulated AC activity without affecting DA-1 stimulated PLC activity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) controls two proximal tubular brush border membrane transport systems, Na+/phosphate co-transport and Na+/H+ exchange. In OK cells, a cell line with proximal tubular transport characteristics, PTH acts via kinase C and kinase A activation to inhibit Na+/phosphate co-transport [6, 8, 9, 19, 22]. In the present study, we show that PTH inhibits Na+/H+ exchange and that this effect can be mimicked by pharmacological activation of kinase A and kinase C. Ionomycin-dependent increases in cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration do not induce inhibition of Na+/H+ exchange; PTH-dependent inhibition of Na+/H+ exchange is not prevented by ionomycin or by the intracellular Ca2+ chelator 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (Ca2+ clamping). Detailed dose-response curves for the different agonists, given either alone or in combination, suggest that the two regulatory cascades (kinase A and kinase C) are operating independent of each other and reach a common final target, resulting in 40-50% inhibition of Na+/H+ exchange. An analysis of intracellular pH sensitivity of Na+/H+ exchange suggests that inhibition is not related to a shift in set point, but is rather explained by a reduced Vmax of Na+/H+ exchange and/or reduced affinity for protons at the internal membrane surface. It is suggested that kinase A as well as kinase C can mediate PTH inhibition of renal proximal tubular Na+/H+ exchange and that the relative importance of a particular regulatory cascade is determined by the PTH-concentration-dependent rates in the liberation of diacylglycerol (phospholipase C/kinase C) and cAMP (adenylate cyclase/kinase A).

The larval midgut epithelial cell of the silkworm, Bombyx mori, has two forms of alkaline phosphatase and trehalase, soluble and membrane-bound. Alkaline phosphatase and trehalase of the latter form are found in the brush border membrane and the basolateral membrane, respectively. In this work we studied the membrane anchors of these membrane-bound enzymes. Alkaline phosphatase was solubilized by phosphatidyl-inositol-specific phospholipase C, but not by papain. Conversely, trehalase was released from the membrane by papain, but not by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C. Both enzymes were solubilized in an amphiphilic form with 0.5% Triton X-100 plus 0.5% sodium deoxycholate (pH 7.0). The detergent-solubilized alkaline phosphatase and trehalase were converted to hydrophilic form on incubation with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C and papain, respectively. The effects of papain on solubilization and conversion of trehalase were completely inhibited by leupeptin. These results suggest that, in the silkworm larvae, alkaline phosphatase is anchored in the brush-border membrane via a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol, while trehalase is associated with the basolateral membrane through a hydrophobic segment of the polypeptide.

In previous studies we found that intraperitoneal injection of nicotinamide (NiAm) to rats resulted in increased NAD+ content in proximal tubules, inhibition of brush border membrane (BBM) transport of phosphate (Pi) and decreased activity of alkaline phosphatase (AP). We now studied the effect of NiAm injection on rabbit kidney BBM prepared either directly by Ca2+ precipitation method, or prepared indirectly from sheets of BBM. In BBM vesicles prepared directly from NiAm-injected rabbits, Na+-dependent Pi uptake was inhibited, but no inhibition was found in BBM vesicles prepared by an indirect method. Incubation of both directly prepared BBM vesicles and of BBM sheets with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) released about 85% of AP from BBM. In BBM vesicles prepared indirectly from BBM sheets, incubation with PI-PLC increased by 100% the capacity for Pi transport, but PI-PLC had no effect on Pi transport if rabbits were injected with NiAm. On the other hand, incubation of directly prepared BBM vesicles with PI-PLC did not alter Pi transport capacity both in controls and in NiAm-treated rabbits, although it released AP. Treatment with NiAm decreases significantly AP activity both in BBM vesicles prepared directly or prepared indirectly from BBM sheets. These results suggest that NiAm-induced inhibition of BBM transport system for Pi is reversed by prolonged washing and incubation in the course of indirect preparation of BBM vesicles. Results also suggest that an increase in tissue NAD+ decreases susceptibility of BBM to treatment with PI-PLC in altering Pi transport. Removal of the majority of AP from BBM does not impair Na+-gradient-dependent Pi transport system.

Ectoenzyme release from porcine intestinal brush border membranes by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C of Bacillus thuringiensis was studied. Alkaline phosphodiesterase I, alkaline phosphatase and 5'-nucleotidase were released from both slices and brush border membranes. The pattern of alkaline phosphodiesterase I release was the same as that of alkaline phosphatase. The release of alkaline phosphodiesterase I induced by phospholipase C was dependent on, or proportional to, the reaction time and the concentration of phospholipase C. The Arrhenius plot for phosphodiesterase I release showed a single break at 30 degrees C for brush border membranes. Only 40% of alkaline phosphodiesterase I present in the brush border membranes were solubilized by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C treatment. The data indicate the presence of two forms of phosphodiesterase I, which are different in their sensitivity to phospholipase C. The released alkaline phosphodiesterase I had a molecular weight of 240,000 and was activated by Mg2+ and Ca2+, but strongly inhibited by EDTA.

Tissue-specific (intestinal) and tissue-nonspecific (kidney) rat alkaline phosphatases are released from their respective brush border membranes by different enzymes. To elucidate the mechanism underlying their membrane attachment, we tested the ability of these enzymes to partition into lipid or aqueous phases both before and after treatment with phospholipases and proteases. Interaction with Triton X-114 micelles was eliminated or decreased by treatment of intestinal enzyme with phospholipase A2 or papain, while only phosphatidylinositol (PI)-specific phospholipase C (PIPLC) and subtilisin were effective with the kidney enzyme. Binding to octyl Sepharose for the intestinal enzyme was decreased by phospholipase A2 more than by PIPLC, whereas the reverse was true for the kidney enzyme. Treatment with phospholipases decreased the apparent mass of the phosphatases by 50-80 kDa, presumably due to loss of bound lipid and detergent. PIPLC treatment of the kidney, but not the intestinal enzyme, prevented binding of the phosphatase to phospholipid vesicles. These results show that both enzymes are bound to respective membranes by hydrophobic anchor peptides to which phospholipids are bound. However, their sensitivity to phospholipases is different. The data are consistent with the hypothesis that, in the kidney enzyme, the PI is bound covalently, while with the intestinal enzyme, binding of PI appears to be tight but not covalent.

Rat kidney proximal tubule brush border membrane (BBM)-associated phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) has been characterized previously in our laboratory. Here we report the effect of aminoglycosides on this enzyme. Enzyme activity is determined at 37 degrees C by increases in diacylglycerol or decreases in PI in the presence of Ca++, deoxycholate and [3H] arachidonate-labeled phospholipids in Tris buffer. Whereas activity of PI-PLC is inhibited 90% by gentamicin (1.5 mM) at pH 6 to 7, inhibition decreases to 72% at pH 7.4 and to zero at pH 7.8. As pH is raised from 7.8 to 9.5, gentamicin elicits a pH-dependent stimulation of activity. Alterations in Ca++ concentration (1-7.5 mM) have no effect on inhibition of PI-PLC by gentamicin, although the enzyme itself is critically dependent on divalent cations. Double reciprocal plots of activity vs. substrate concentration in the presence of 0, 1.0 and 1.5 mM gentamicin demonstrate uncompetitive interaction between enzyme and drug. Vmax of PI-PLC in the absence of gentamicin is 0.73 mumol/h/mg of protein and the Km is 7.05 microM (PI). Vmax and apparent Km decrease with increasing drug concentration. Comparative inhibition of PI-PLC by other aminoglycosides (at 1-2 mM concentrations) approximates their known nephrotoxic potential: streptomycin less than or equal to kanamycin less than or equal to amikacin less than tobramycin less than gentamicin less than neomycin. Kidney cortex cytosolic PI-PLC activity is also inhibited by gentamicin. However, BBM PI-PLC specific activity is 15 to 20-fold greater than for the cytosolic enzyme. Because marked gentamicin binding to BBM and damage/loss of BBM occurs early after administration of the drug, gentamicin-induced modulation of BBM PI-PLC may be an important factor in ensuing nephrotoxicity.
