The phosphoinositide phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P(2)) is essential for many cellular processes and is linked to the etiology of numerous human diseases . PtdIns(4,5)P(2) has been indirectly implicated as a negative regulator of apoptosis ; however, it is unclear if apoptotic stimuli negatively regulate PtdIns(4,5)P(2) levels in vivo. Here, we show that two apoptotic-stress stimuli, hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) and UV irradiation, cause PtdIns(4,5)P(2) depletion during programmed cell death independently of and prior to caspase activation. Depletion of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) is essential for apoptosis because maintenance of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) levels by overexpression of PIP5Kalpha rescues cells from H(2)O(2)-induced apoptosis. PIP5Kalpha expression promotes both basal and sustained ERK1/2 activation after H(2)O(2) treatment, and importantly, pharmacological inhibition of ERK1/2 signaling blocks PIP5Kalpha-mediated cell survival. H(2)O(2) induces tyrosine phosphorylation and translocation of PIP5Kalpha away from its substrate at the plasma membrane, and both are dependent upon the activity of c-src family kinases. Furthermore, constitutively active c-src enhances tyrosine phosphorylation of PIP5Kalpha in vivo and is sufficient for the translocation of PIP5Kalpha away from the plasma membrane. These observations demonstrate that certain apoptotic stimuli initiate an essential signaling pathway during cell death, and this pathway leads to caspase-independent downregulation of PIP5Kalpha and its product PtdIns(4,5)P(2).  相似文献

Background:Phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PtdIns(3,4,5) P3) and Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5) P2] form an insignificant amount of phospholipids but play important roles in controlling membrane-bound signalling. Little attention has been given to visualize and monitor changes or differences in the local generation of PtdIns(4,5) P2 and PtdIns(3,4,5) P3 in the cell membranes of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines.Methods:PLCδ1-PH-GFP and Btk-PH-GFP were used as biosensors to detected PtdIns(4,5) P2 and PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 respectively. These biosensors and antibodies were transfected, immuostained and then visualized by confocal microscopy on different cell surfaces.Results:Our results showed that PLCδ1-PH-GFP/mCherry was localized at the cell membrane, while Btk-PH-GFP/mCherry was sometimes localized at the cell membrane but there was also a large amount of fluorescence present in the cytosol and nucleus. Our results also showed that the cells that expressed low levels of Btk-PH-GFP the fluorescence was predominantly localised to the cell membrane. While the cells that expressed high levels of Btk-PH-GFP the fluorescence was localization in the cytosol and cell membrane. Our results demonstrated that both anti-PtdIns(4,5)P2 and anti-PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 antibodies were localized everywhere in cell.Conclusion:Our results suggest that PLCδ1-PH-GFP and Btk-PH-GFP/mCherry have more specificity, reliability, suitability and accuracy than antibodies in binding with and detecting PtdIns(4,5)P2 and PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 and in studying the molecular dynamics of phospholipids in live and fixed cells.Key Words: Antibodies, Biosensors, MDA-MB-231, Phosphatidylinositol  相似文献

Focal adhesions (FAs) are large assemblies of proteins that mediate intracellular signals between the cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix (ECM). The turnover of FA proteins plays a critical regulatory role in cancer cell migration. Plasma membrane lipids locally generated or broken down by different inositide kinases and phosphatase enzymes to activate and recruit proteins to specific regions in the plasma membrane. Presently, little attention has been given to the use of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2) and Phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3) fluorescent biosensors in order to determine the spatiotemporal organisation of PtdIns(4,5)P2 and PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 within and around or during assembly and disassembly of FAs. In this study, specific biosensors were used to detect PtdIns(4,5)P2, PtdIns(3,4,5)P3, and FAs proteins conjugated to RFP/GFP in order to monitor changes of PtdIns(4,5)P2 and PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 levels within FAs. We demonstrated that the localisation of PtdIns(4,5)P2 and PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 were moderately correlated with that of FA proteins. Furthermore, we demonstrate that local levels of PtdIns(4,5)P2 increased within FA assembly and declined within FA disassembly. However, PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 levels remained constant within FAs assembly and disassembly. In conclusion, this study shows that PtdIns(4,5)P2 and PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 localised in FAs may be regulated differently during FA assembly and disassembly.  相似文献

Phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3)] is a second messenger produced in response to agonist stimulation. Traditionally, visualization of phosphoinositide polyphosphates (PtdInsP(n)) in living cells is accomplished using chimeric green fluorescent protein (GFP)-pleckstrin homology (PH) domain proteins, while PtdInsP(n) quantitation is accomplished by extraction and separation of radiolabeled cellular PtdInsP(n)s. Here we describe preparation of a covalent protein-PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) immunogen, characterization of binding selectivity of an anti-PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) IgM, and immunodetection of PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) in stimulated mammalian cells. This antibody has greater than three orders of magnitude selectivity for binding PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) relative to its precursor, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P(2)), and is therefore optimal for studies of cell function. The immunodetection in platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-stimulated NIH 3T3 cells was benchmarked against HPLC analysis of [3H]-myo-inositol-labeled cellular PtdInsP(n)s. In addition, the changes in subcellular amounts and localizations of both PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) and PtdIns(4,5)P(2) in stimulated NIH 3T3 fibroblasts and human neutrophils were observed by immunofluorescence. In insulin- or PDGF-stimulated fibroblasts, PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) levels increased in the cytoplasm, peaking at 10 min. In contrast, increases in the PtdIns(4,5)P(2) levels were detected in nuclei, corresponding to the production of new substrate following depletion by phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinase.  相似文献

PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 regulates spindle orientation in adherent cells   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Cultured adherent cells divide on the substratum, leading to formation of the cell monolayer. However, how the orientation of this anchorage-dependent cell division is regulated remains unknown. We have previously shown that integrin-dependent adhesion orients the spindle parallel to the substratum, which ensures this anchorage-dependent cell division. Here, we show that phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-triphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3) is essential for this spindle orientation control. In metaphase, PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 is accumulated in the midcortex in an integrin-dependent manner. Inhibition of phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase (PI(3)K) reduces the accumulation of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 and induces spindle misorientation. Introduction of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 to these cells restores the midcortical accumulation of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 and proper spindle orientation. PI(3)K inhibition causes dynein-dependent spindle rotations along the z-axis, resulting in spindle misorientation. Moreover, dynactin, a dynein-binding partner, is accumulated in the midcortex in a PtdIns(3,4,5)P3-dependent manner. We propose that PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 directs dynein/dynactin-dependent pulling forces on spindles to the midcortex, and thereby orients the spindle parallel to the substratum.  相似文献

Many cytosolic proteins are recruited to the plasma membrane (PM) during cell signaling and other cellular processes. Recent reports have indicated that phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P(2)), and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3)) that are present in the PM play important roles for their specific PM recruitment. To systematically analyze how these lipids mediate PM targeting of cellular proteins, we performed biophysical, computational, and cell studies of the Ca(2+)-dependent C2 domain of protein kinase Calpha (PKCalpha) that is known to bind PS and phosphoinositides. In vitro membrane binding measurements by surface plasmon resonance analysis show that PKCalpha-C2 nonspecifically binds phosphoinositides, including PtdIns(4,5)P(2) and PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3), but that PS and Ca(2+) binding is prerequisite for productive phosphoinositide binding. PtdIns(4,5)P(2) or PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) augments the Ca(2+)- and PS-dependent membrane binding of PKCalpha-C2 by slowing its membrane dissociation. Molecular dynamics simulations also support that Ca(2+)-dependent PS binding is essential for membrane interactions of PKCalpha-C2. PtdIns(4,5)P(2) alone cannot drive the membrane attachment of the domain but further stabilizes the Ca(2+)- and PS-dependent membrane binding. When the fluorescence protein-tagged PKCalpha-C2 was expressed in NIH-3T3 cells, mutations of phosphoinositide-binding residues or depletion of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) and/or PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) from PM did not significantly affect the PM association of the domain but accelerated its dissociation from PM. Also, local synthesis of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) or PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) at the PM slowed membrane dissociation of PKCalpha-C2. Collectively, these studies show that PtdIns(4,5)P(2) and PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) augment the Ca(2+)- and PS-dependent membrane binding of PKCalpha-C2 by elongating the membrane residence of the domain but cannot drive the PM recruitment of PKCalpha-C2. These studies also suggest that effective PM recruitment of many cellular proteins may require synergistic actions of PS and phosphoinositides.  相似文献

Class IA PI3Ks (phosphoinositide 3-kinases) generate the secondary messenger PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3), which plays an important role in many cellular responses. The accumulation of PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) in cell membranes is routinely measured using GFP (green fluorescent protein)-labelled PH (pleckstrin homology) domains. However, the kinetics of membrane PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) synthesis and turnover as detected by PH domains have not been validated using an independent method. In the present study, we measured EGF (epidermal growth factor)-stimulated membrane PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) production using a specific monoclonal anti-PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) antibody, and compared the results with those obtained using PH-domain-dependent methods. Anti-PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) staining rapidly accumulated at the leading edge of EGF-stimulated carcinoma cells. PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) levels were maximal at 1 min, and returned to basal levels by 5 min. In contrast, membrane PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) production, measured by the membrane translocation of an epitope-tagged (BTK)PH (PH domain of Bruton's tyrosine kinase), remained approx. 2-fold above basal level throughout 4-5 min of EGF stimulation. To determine the reason for this disparity, we measured the rate of PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) hydrolysis by measuring the decay of the PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) signal after LY294002 treatment of EGF-stimulated cells. LY294002 abolished anti-PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) membrane staining within 10 s of treatment, suggesting that PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) turnover occurs within seconds of synthesis. In contrast, (BTK)PH membrane recruitment, once initiated by EGF, was relatively insensitive to LY294002. These data suggest that sequestration of PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) by PH domains may affect the apparent kinetics of PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) accumulation and turnover; consistent with this hypothesis, we found that GRP-1 (general receptor for phosphoinositides 1) PH domains [which, like BTK, are specific for PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3)] inhibit PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10) dephosphorylation of PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) in vitro. These data suggest that anti-PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) antibodies are a useful tool to detect localized PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3), and illustrate the importance of using multiple approaches for the estimation of membrane phosphoinositides.  相似文献

Proper neutrophil migration into inflammatory sites ensures host defense without tissue damage. Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI(3)K) and its lipid product phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3)) regulate cell migration, but the role of PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3)-degrading enzymes in this process is poorly understood. Here, we show that Src homology 2 (SH2) domain-containing inositol-5-phosphatase 1 (SHIP1), a PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) phosphatase, is a key regulator of neutrophil migration. Genetic inactivation of SHIP1 led to severe defects in neutrophil polarization and motility. In contrast, loss of the PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) phosphatase PTEN had no impact on neutrophil chemotaxis. To study PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) metabolism in living primary cells, we generated a novel transgenic mouse (AktPH-GFP Tg) expressing a bioprobe for PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3.) Time-lapse footage showed rapid, localized binding of AktPH-GFP to the leading edge membrane of chemotaxing ship1(+/+)AktPH-GFP Tg neutrophils, but only diffuse localization in ship1(-/-)AktPH-GFP Tg neutrophils. By directing where PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) accumulates, SHIP1 governs the formation of the leading edge and polarization required for chemotaxis.  相似文献

Mammalian preimplantation embryos develop in the oviduct as individual entities, and can develop and survive in vitro, in defined culture media lacking exogenous growth factors or serum. Therefore, early embryos must generate intrinsic signals that promote their development and survival. In other cells, activation of class I phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) is a universal mechanism to promote cell proliferation and survival. Here, we examined whether PI3K is intrinsically activated during preimplantation development. Using GFP-tagged pleckstrin homology domains to monitor PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) synthesis, we show that PI3K is constitutively activated in mouse preimplantation embryos. E-cadherin ligation promotes PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) synthesis at sites of blastomere adhesion at all cleavage stages. In addition, in culture conditions that promote autocrine signalling, a second pool of PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) is generated in the apical membrane of early stage blastomeres. We show that constitutive PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) synthesis is necessary for optimal development to blastocyst and to prevent large-scale apoptosis at the time of cavitation.  相似文献

The 90-kDa isoform of the lipid kinase PIP kinase Type I γ (PIPKIγ) localizes to focal adhesions (FAs), where it provides a local source of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P(2)). Although PtdIns(4,5)P(2) regulates the function of several FA-associated molecules, the role of the FA-specific pool of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) is not known. We report that the genetic ablation of PIPKIγ specifically from FAs results in defective integrin-mediated adhesion and force coupling. Adhesion defects in cells deficient in FAPtdIns(4,5)P(2) synthesis are corrected within minutes while integrin-actin force coupling remains defective over a longer period. Talin and vinculin, but not kindlin, are less efficiently recruited to new adhesions in these cells. These data demonstrate that the specific depletion of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) from FAs temporally separates integrin-ligand binding from integrin-actin force coupling by regulating talin and vinculin recruitment. Furthermore, it suggests that force coupling relies heavily on locally generated PtdIns(4,5)P(2) rather than bulk membrane PtdIns(4,5)P(2).  相似文献

Accumulated evidence over the last several years indicates that insulin regulates multiple steps in the overall translocation of GLUT4 vesicles to the fat/muscle cell surface, including formation of an intracellular storage pool of GLUT4 vesicles, its movement to the proximity of the cell surface, and the subsequent docking/fusion with the plasma membrane. Insulin-stimulated formation of phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3); and in some cases, of its catabolite PtdIns(3,4)P(2)] plays a pivotal role in this process. PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) is synthesized by the activated wortmannin-sensitive class IA phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinase and controls the rate-limiting cell surface terminal stages of the GLUT4 journey. However, recent research is consistent with the conclusion that signals by each of the remaining five PIs, i.e., PtdIns(3)P, PtdIns(4)P, PtdIns(5)P, PtdIns(3,5)P(2), and PtdIns(4,5)P(2), may act in concert with that of PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) in integrating the insulin receptor-issued signals with GLUT4 surface translocation and glucose transport activation. This review summarizes the experimental evidence supporting the complementary function of these PIs in insulin responsiveness of fat and muscle cells, with particular reference to mechanistic insights and functional significance in the regulation of overall GLUT4 vesicle dynamics.  相似文献

Phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase (PIP5K) produces phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2), a signaling phospholipid critical for various cellular processes in eukaryotes. The Arabidopsis thaliana genome encodes 11 PIP5K genes. Of these, three type B PIP5K genes, PIP5K7, PIP5K8, and PIP5K9, constitute a subgroup highly conserved in land plants, suggesting that they retain a critical function shared by land plants. In this study, we comprehensively investigated the biological functions of the PIP5K7–9 subgroup genes. Reporter gene analyses revealed their preferential expression in meristematic and vascular tissues. Their YFP-fusion proteins localized primarily to the plasma membrane in root meristem epidermal cells. We selected a mutant line that was considered to be null for each gene. Under normal growth conditions, neither single mutants nor multiple mutants of any combination exhibited noticeable phenotypic changes. However, stress conditions with mannitol or NaCl suppressed main root growth and reduced proximal root meristem size to a greater extent in the pip5k7pip5k8pip5k9 triple mutant than in the wild type. In root meristem epidermal cells of the triple mutant, where plasma membrane localization of the PtdIns(4,5)P2 marker P24Y is impaired to a large extent, brefeldin A body formation is retarded compared with the wild type under hyperosmotic stress. These results indicate that PIP5K7, PIP5K8, and PIP5K9 are not required under normal growth conditions, but are redundantly involved in root growth adaptation to hyperosmotic conditions, possibly through the PtdIns(4,5)P2 function promoting plasma membrane recycling in root meristem cells.  相似文献

Phosphoinositides play a central role in the control of several cellular events including actin cytoskeleton organization. Here we show that, upon infection of epithelial cells with the Gram-negative pathogen Shigella flexneri, the virulence factor IpgD is translocated directly into eukaryotic cells and acts as a potent inositol 4-phosphatase that specifically dephosphorylates phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P(2)] into phosphatidylinositol 5-monophosphate [PtdIns(5)P] that then accumulates. Transfection experiments indicate that the transformation of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) into PtdIns(5)P by IpgD is responsible for dramatic morphological changes of the host cell, leading to a decrease in membrane tether force associated with membrane blebbing and actin filament remodelling. These data provide the molecular basis for a new mechanism employed by a pathogenic bacterium to promote membrane ruffling at the entry site.  相似文献

Intracellular calcium [Ca(2+)](i) is mobilized in many cell types in response to activation of phosphoinositide (PIP(n)) signaling pathways involving PtdIns(4,5)P(2) or PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3). To further explore the relationship between increases in intracellular PIP(n) concentrations and mobilization of [Ca(2+)](i), each of the seven phosphorylated phosphoinositides (PIP(n)s) were delivered into cells and the metabolism and physiological effects of the exogenously administered PIP(n)s were determined. The efficient cellular delivery of fluorophore-tagged and native PIP(n)s was accomplished using histone protein, neomycin, and dendrimeric polyamines. PtdIns(4,5)P(2) fluorophore-tagged analogs with short- and long-acyl chains were substrates for cellular enzymes in vitro and for phospholipases in stimulated fibroblasts. PtdIns(4)P, PtdIns(3,4)P(2) and PtdIns(4,5)P(2), each induced calcium mobilization rapidly after exogenous addition to fibroblasts. PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) induced a significant, but smaller increase in intracellular calcium. These observations suggest that PIP(n)s other than PtdIns(4,5)P(2) or PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) may have direct roles in signaling involving [Ca(2+)](i).  相似文献

Salmonella invades mammalian cells by inducing membrane ruffling and macropinocytosis through actin remodelling. Because phosphoinositides are central to actin assembly, we have studied the dynamics of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P(2)) in HeLa cells during invasion by Salmonella typhimurium. Here we show that the outermost parts of the ruffles induced by invasion show a modest enrichment in PtdIns(4,5)P(2), but that PtdIns(4,5)P(2) is virtually absent from the invaginating regions. Rapid disappearance of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) requires the expression of the Salmonella phosphatase SigD (also known as SopB). Deletion of SigD markedly delays fission of the invaginating membranes, indicating that elimination of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) may be required for rapid formation of Salmonella-containing vacuoles. Heterologous expression of SigD is sufficient to promote the disappearance of PtdIns(4,5)P(2), to reduce the rigidity of the membrane skeleton, and to induce plasmalemmal invagination and fission. Hydrolysis of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) may be a common and essential feature of membrane fission during several internalization processes including invasion, phagocytosis and possibly endocytosis.  相似文献

Movin' on up: the role of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) in cell migration   总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7  
Cell migration requires the coordination of many biochemical events, including cell-matrix contact turnover and cytoskeletal restructuring. Recent advances further implicate phosphatidylinositol(4,5)-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P(2)] in the control of these events. Many proteins that are crucial to the assembly of the migration machinery are regulated by PtdIns(4,5)P(2). Coordinated synthesis of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) at these sites is dependent on the precise targeting of the type I phosphatidylinositol phosphate kinases (PIPKs). Two PIPKI isoforms target to, and generate, PtdIns(4,5)P(2) at membrane ruffles and focal adhesions during cell migration. Here, we discuss our current understanding of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) in the regulation of cell responses to migratory stimuli and how the migrating cell controls PtdIns(4,5)P(2) availability.  相似文献

PIKfyve is an essential mammalian lipid kinase with pleiotropic cellular functions whose genetic knockout in mice leads to preimplantation lethality. Despite several reports for PIKfyve-catalyzed synthesis of phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate (PtdIns5P) along with phosphatidylinositol-3,5-biphosphate [PtdIns(3,5)P(2)] in vitro and in vivo, the role of the PIKfyve pathway in intracellular PtdIns5P production remains underappreciated and the function of the PIKfyve-synthesized PtdIns5P pool poorly characterized. Hence, the recently discovered potent PIKfyve-selective inhibitor, the YM201636 compound, has been solely tested for inhibiting PtdIns(3,5)P(2) synthesis. Here, we have compared the in vitro and in vivo inhibitory potency of YM201636 toward PtdIns5P and PtdIns(3,5)P(2). Unexpectedly, we observed that at low doses (10-25 nM), YM201636 inhibited preferentially PtdIns5P rather than PtdIns(3,5)P(2) production in vitro, whereas at higher doses, the two products were similarly inhibited. In cellular contexts, YM201636 at 160 nM inhibited PtdIns5P synthesis twice more effectively compared with PtdIns(3,5)P(2) synthesis. In 3T3L1 adipocytes, human embryonic kidney 293 and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-T) cells, levels of PtdIns5P dropped by 62-71% of the corresponding untreated controls, whereas those of PtdIns(3,5)P(2) fell by only 28-46%. The preferential inhibition of PtdIns5P versus PtdIns(3,5)P(2) at low doses of YM201636 was explored to probe contributions of the PIKfyve-catalyzed PtdIns5P pool to insulin-induced actin stress fiber disassembly in CHO-T cells, GLUT4 translocation in 3T3L1 adipocytes, and induction of aberrant cellular vacuolation in these or other cell types. The results provide the first experimental evidence that the principal pathway for PtdIns5P intracellular production is through PIKfyve and that insulin effect on actin stress fiber disassembly is mediated entirely by the PIKfyve-produced PtdIns5P pool.  相似文献

PtdIns(4,5)P(2) and PtdIns(4,5)P(2) 5-phosphatases play important roles in diverse aspects of cell metabolism, including protein trafficking. However, the relative importance of the PtdIns(4,5)P(2) 5-phosphatases in regulating PtdIns(4,5)P(2) levels for specific cell processes is not well understood. Ocrl1 is a PtdIns(4,5)P(2) 5-phosphatase that is deficient in the oculocerebrorenal syndrome of Lowe, a disorder characterized by defects in kidney and lens epithelial cells and mental retardation. Ocrl1 was originally localized to the Golgi in fibroblasts, but a subsequent report suggested a lysosomal localization in a kidney epithelial cell line. In this study we defined the localization of ocrl1 in fibroblasts and in two kidney epithelial cell lines by three methods: immunofluorescence, subcellular fractionation, and a dynamic perturbation assay with brefeldin A. We found that ocrl1 was a Golgi-localized protein in all three cell types and further identified it as a protein of the trans-Golgi network (TGN). The TGN is a major sorting site and has the specialized function in epithelial cells of directing proteins to the apical or basolateral domains. The epithelial cell phenotype in Lowe syndrome and the localization of ocrl1 to the TGN imply that this PtdIns(4,5)P(2) 5-phosphatase plays a role in trafficking.

We generated homozygous knockin ES cells expressing a form of 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1) with a mutation in its pleckstrin homology (PH) domain that abolishes phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-tris-phosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3) binding, without affecting catalytic activity. In the knockin cells, protein kinase B (PKB) was not activated by IGF1, whereas ribosomal S6 kinase (RSK) was activated normally, indicating that PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 binding to PDK1 is required for PKB but not RSK activation. Interestingly, amino acids and Rheb, but not IGF1, activated S6K in the knockin cells, supporting the idea that PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 stimulates S6K through PKB-mediated activation of Rheb. Employing PDK1 knockin cells in which either the PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 binding or substrate-docking 'PIF pocket' was disrupted, we established the roles that these domains play in regulating phosphorylation and stabilisation of protein kinase C isoforms. Moreover, mouse PDK1 knockin embryos in which either the PH domain or PIF pocket was disrupted died displaying differing phenotypes between E10.5 and E11.5. Although PDK1 plays roles in regulating cell size, cells derived from PH domain or PIF pocket knockin embryos were of normal size. These experiments establish the roles of the PDK1 regulatory domains and illustrate the power of knockin technology to probe the physiological function of protein-lipid and protein-protein interactions.  相似文献
