Abstract
This study focused on the variations in phosphoinositide metabolism depending upon alphaIIbbeta3-integrin/fibrinogen interaction without previous activation of platelet agonist receptors. We found that adhesion of resting human platelets to immobilized fibrinogen stimulates phosphatidic acid production and a concomitant decrease in phosphatidylinositol 4',5'-bisphosphate. These results, and the absence of a transphosphatidylation reaction, argue in favor of the activation of a phospholipase C. Moreover, we observed the accumulation of phosphatidylinositol 3',4'-bisphosphate in adherent platelets as a consequence of the activation of a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. This effect was inhibited by ADP scavengers. Our results demonstrate that in adherent platelets, whereas phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activation is controlled by both alphaIIbbeta-integrin engagement and released ADP, phospholipase C stimulation is triggered only by alphaIIbbeta-integrin/fibrinogen interaction.

Abstract
The heterotrimeric G proteins mediate a variety of cellular processes by coupling transmembrane receptors to different effector molecules, including adenylyl cyclases and inositol-phospholipid-specific phospholipase C (PLC)1-3. Activation of adenylyl cyclases results in the production of cyclic AMP and activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). Phospholipase C catalyses the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PtdInsP2) to generate diacylglycerol and inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate (InsP2), leading to the activation of protein kinase C (PKC) and the mobilization of intracellular calcium. The various PLC isoforms appear to be activated by different receptors, and in some cases by different G-protein components. There are four well-characterized forms of PLC-beta and all of them are activated to various extents by the G alpha q family of G proteins. Specific activation of PLC isoforms beta 2 and beta 3 by G-protein beta gamma subunits has also been reported. Although it has been suggested that PLC activity might be modulated by the adenylyl cyclase pathway, no clear link has been established between the two pathways. Here we report that cAMP-dependent protein kinase specifically inhibits G beta gamma-activated PLC-beta 2 activity but not that of the G alpha-activated PLC isoforms, and that the effect of PKA is not mimicked by PKC isozymes. Furthermore, we show that PKA directly phosphorylates serine residues of the PLC-beta 2 protein both in vivo and in vitro. Our results provide an insight into the specificity and nature of the crosstalk between the two G-protein-coupled signal transduction pathways.

Abstract
Exposure of cryptic actin filament fast growing ends (barbed ends) initiates actin polymerization in stimulated human and mouse platelets. Gelsolin amplifies platelet actin assembly by severing F-actin and increasing the number of barbed ends. Actin filaments in stimulated platelets from transgenic gelsolin-null mice elongate their actin without severing. F-actin barbed end capping activity persists in human platelet extracts, depleted of gelsolin, and the heterodimeric capping protein (CP) accounts for this residual activity. 35% of the approximately 5 microM CP is associated with the insoluble actin cytoskeleton of the resting platelet. Since resting platelets have an F-actin barbed end concentration of approximately 0.5 microM, sufficient CP is bound to cap these ends. CP is released from OG-permeabilized platelets by treatment with phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate or through activation of the thrombin receptor. However, the fraction of CP bound to the actin cytoskeleton of thrombin-stimulated mouse and human platelets increases rapidly to approximately 60% within 30 s. In resting platelets from transgenic mice lacking gelsolin, which have 33% more F-actin than gelsolin-positive cells, there is a corresponding increase in the amount of CP associated with the resting cytoskeleton but no change with stimulation. These findings demonstrate an interaction between the two major F-actin barbed end capping proteins of the platelet: gelsolin-dependent severing produces barbed ends that are capped by CP. Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate release of gelsolin and CP from platelet cytoskeleton provides a mechanism for mediating barbed end exposure. After actin assembly, CP reassociates with the new actin cytoskeleton.

Abstract
Formation of coatomer-coated vesicles from Golgi-enriched membranes requires the activation of a small GTP-binding protein, ADP ribosylation factor (ARF). ARF is also an efficacious activator of phospholipase D (PLD), an activity that is relatively abundant on Golgi-enriched membranes. It has been proposed that ARF, which is recruited onto membranes from cytosolic pools, acts directly to promote coatomer binding and is in a 3:1 stoichiometry with coatomer on coated vesicles. We present evidence that cytosolic ARF is not necessary for initiating coat assembly on Golgi membranes from cell lines with high constitutive PLD activity. Conditions are also described under which ARF is at most a minor component relative to coatomer in coated vesicles from all cell lines tested, including Chinese hamster ovary cells. Formation of coated vesicles was sensitive to ethanol at concentrations that inhibit the production of phosphatidic acid (PA) by PLD. When PA was produced in Golgi membranes by an exogenous bacterial PLD, rather than with ARF and endogenous PLD, coatomer bound to Golgi membranes. Purified coatomer also bound selectively to artificial lipid vesicles that contained PA and phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate (PIP2). We propose that activation of PLD and the subsequent production of PA are key early events for the formation of coatomer-coated vesicles.

Abstract
The structure of gels formed by bovine spinal cord neurofilaments was determined by fluorescence and electron microscopy and compared to mechanical properties measured by their elastic and viscous response to shear forces. Neurofilaments formed gels of high elastic modulus (>100 Pa) after addition of millimolar Mg2+. Gelation caused a slow increase in shear moduli to levels similar to those of vimentin intermediate filament networks, followed by a rapid rise due to formation of links between neurofilaments, mediated by cross-bridging structures that vimentin filaments lack. Neurofilament gels are more resistant to large deformations than are vimentin networks, suggesting the importance of cross-bridges for neurofilament mechanical properties. Fluorescence imaging of single neurofilaments showed flexible filaments that became straighter when they adhered to glass or were incorporated into filament bundles. Electron microscopy of neurofilament gels showed a system of bundles intertwined within a more isotropic network of individual filaments. Neurofilament gel formation was stimulated in vitro by acid phosphatase treatment or by inositol phospholipids. In contrast, addition of actin filaments reduced the resistance of neurofilament gels to large stresses. These results suggest that dynamic and regulated interactions occur between neurofilaments to form viscoelastic networks with properties distinct from other cytoskeletal structures.

Abstract
Vinculin, a prominent cytoskeletal protein at cell-substrate adhesions (focal adhesions) and cell-cell adhesions (adherens junctions), interacts with other cytoskeletal proteins, including talin and actin. An intramolecular interaction between the head and tail domains of vinculin masks the binding sites for both proteins. The exposure of cryptic binding sites may be important for promoting focal adhesion assembly. Several agents that induce the formation of focal adhesions act through the GTP-binding protein Rho, which elevates phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PtdInsP2) levels by activating phosphatidyl-inositol-4-phosphate-5-OH kinase (PtdIns-5-OH kinase). PtdInsP2 regulates several actin-binding proteins, including profilin, gelsolin and alpha-actinin, and interacts with vinculin. Here we report that PtdInsP2 dissociates vinculin's head-tail interaction, unmasking its talin- and actin-binding sites. Microinjection of antibodies against PtdInsP2 inhibit assembly of stress fibres and focal adhesions.

Abstract
Rat brain cytosol contains proteins that markedly inhibit the activity of partially purified brain membrane phospholipase D (PLD) stimulated by ADP-ribosylation factor (Arf) and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2). Sequential chromatography of the brain cytosol yielded four inhibitor fractions, which exhibited different kinetics to heat treatment at 70 degrees C. Purification of the most heat-labile inhibitor to homogeneity yielded two preparations, which displayed apparent molecular masses of 150 kDa and 135 kDa, respectively, on SDS-polyacrylamide gels. Tryptic digests of the 150- and 135-kDa proteins yielded similar elution profiles on a C18 reverse-phase column, suggesting that the 135-kDa form is a truncated form of the 150-kDa form. Sequences of two tryptic peptides were determined. A data base search revealed no proteins with these sequences. The purified 150-kDa inhibitor negated the PLD activity stimulated by Arf, RhoA, or Cdc42. The concentration required for half-maximal inhibition was 0.4 nM. Concentration dependence on the 150-kDa inhibitor was not affected by changes in the concentrations of Arf, PIP2, or phosphatidylcholine used in the assays, suggesting that the inhibition is not due to competition with the activators or substrate for PLD. The purified inhibitor did not affect the PIP2-hydrolyzing activity of a phospholipase C isozyme that was measured with substrate vesicles of lipid composition identical with that used for the PLD assay. Thus, the mechanism of inhibition appears to be a specific allosteric modification of PLD rather than disruption of substrate vesicles.

Abstract
The concentration of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) in erythrocytes from volunteers has been found to modify following strenuous physical exercise. The basal value was almost regained within some 75 min after the completion of the effort. The concurrent variations of pH and blood lactate have also been evaluated. Our results represent, to our knowledge, the first evidence of in vivo induced intraerythrocyte InsP3 modification. They reinforce the idea of the participation of its precursor phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns4,5-P2) in red bood cell shape regulation by contributing to the interactions between membrane and cytoskeleton components.

Abstract
Fragmin is a 42 kDa regulatory protein involved in actin microfilament organization in Physarum polycephalum. We show that fragmin is a target of casein kinase II (CK II) enzymes isolated from evolutionarily divergent species. In Physarum microplasmodia, two such kinases were identified. A serine residue located in the sequence Gly-Gly-Ser-Asp-Leu-Glu constitutes the phosphorylation site and was identified by phosphopeptide sequencing, mass spectometry analysis, and inhibition studies with a synthetic peptide corresponding to this site. Interestingly, the actin-fragmin dimer (A--F) as well as the actin2-fragmin trimer (A2--F) are equally efficient targets, and phosphorylation had no effect on the actin-binding properties of fragmin. Actin-fragmin isolated from microplasmodia revealed a minor acidic fragmin isoform, suggesting that fragmin is phosphorylated in vivo. The actin-fragmin complex is also phosphorylated on the actin subunit by an endogenous actin-fragmin kinase [Gettemans, J., De Ville, Y., Vandekerckhove, J., & Waelkens, E. (1992) EMBO J. 11, 3185-3191]. We show that the two phosphorylation events act independently of each other.

Abstract
Extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules, such as fibronectin (FN), regulate fibroblast sensitivity to soluble growth factors, in part, by controlling cellular levels of phosphatidylinositol bis-phosphate (PIP2), the substrate for phospholipase C-gamma (McNamee et al., 1993, J. Cell Biol. 121, 673-678). In the present study, we extended these investigations by exploring whether cells of the vascular wall also exhibit this response and analyzing the mechanism by which adhesion to ECM regulates intracellular PIP2 mass. Capillary endothelial cells, pulmonary vascular smooth muscle cells, and C3H 101/2 fibroblasts were all found to exhibit a similar two- to threefold increase in PIP2 mass within 3 h after binding to dishes coated with FN. Furthermore, similar effects were observed using dishes coated with a variety of different ECM molecules, including collagen types I and IV as well as a synthetic RGD-containing peptide. An increase in PIP2 mass also was produced when suspended cells bound to microbeads (4.5 micron diameter; coated with RGD-peptide or anti-integrin beta 1 antibody) that induce local integrin clustering and focal adhesion formation, independently of cell spreading. In contrast, neither binding of soluble FN nor binding of microbeads coated with ligands for other transmembrane surface receptors (e.g., acetylated low-density lipoprotein, antibodies against heparan sulfate) had any effect on PIP2 mass. While these results suggest that integrin clustering stimulates PIP2 synthesis, no change in total cellular or cytoskeletal-associated phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate kinase (PIP kinase) activity could be detected when cells bound to immobilized integrin ligands. However, when focal adhesion complexes were isolated from these cells using a magnetic procedure (G. Plopper and D. E. Ingber, 1993, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 193, 571-578), this subfraction of the cytoskeleton was found to be enriched for PIP kinase activity by more than twofold relative to the whole cytoskeleton. These data suggest that ECM binding may increase PIP2 mass in vascular cells by clustering cell surface integrin receptors and activating cytoskeletal-associated PIP kinases locally within the focal adhesion complex.

Abstract
Wortmannin at nanomolar concentrations is a potent and specific inhibitor of phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinase and has been used extensively to demonstrate the role of this enzyme in diverse signal transduction processes. At higher concentrations, wortmannin inhibits the ataxia telangiectasia gene (ATM)-related DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PKcs). We report here the identification of the site of interaction of wortmannin on the catalytic subunit of PI 3-kinase, p110alpha. At physiological pH (6.5 to 8) wortmannin reacted specifically with p110alpha. Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-diphosphate, ATP, and ATP analogs [adenine and 5'-(4-fluorosulfonylbenzoyl)adenine] competed effectively with wortmannin, while substances containing nucleophilic amino acid side chain functions had no effect at the same concentrations. This suggests that the wortmannin target site is localized in proximity to the substrate-binding site and that residues involved in wortmannin binding have an increased nucleophilicity because of their protein environment. Proteolytic fragments of wortmannin-treated, recombinant p110alpha were mapped with anti-wortmannin and anti-p110alpha peptide antibodies, thus limiting the target site within a 10-kDa fragment, colocalizing with the ATP-binding site. Site-directed mutagenesis of all candidate residues within this region showed that only the conservative Lys-802-to-Arg mutation abolished wortmannin binding. Inhibition of PI 3-kinase occurs, therefore, by the formation of an enamine following the attack of Lys-802 on the furan ring (at C-20) of wortmannin. The Lys-802-to-Arg mutant was also unable to bind FSBA and was catalytically inactive in lipid and protein kinase assays, indicating a crucial role for Lys-802 in the phosphotransfer reaction. In contrast, an Arg-916-to-Pro mutation abolished the catalytic activity whereas covalent wortmannin binding remained intact. Our results provide the basis for the design of novel and specific inhibitors of an enzyme family, including PI kinases and ATM-related genes, that play a central role in many physiological processes.

Abstract
The purpose of these studies was to examine the sensitivity of the PIP 2-PLC-transducing pathway (GPLC) and its relationship to the respiratory burst in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) stimulated by IL-8, TNF-alpha, or IL-1 beta during sequential changes in buffer oxygen tension from normoxia (pO2 = 180-200 mm Hg), to hypoxia (pO2 < 30 mm Hg) and then reoxygenation (pO2 > 140 mm Hg). Our specific hypothesis was that altered oxygen tensions would regulate the G PLC pathway in human PMN. G PLC activity was assayed by investigating phospholipase C activity by measuring inositol phosphates and diacylglycerol (DAG) formation. Respiratory burst activity was assayed as O 2 production and NADPH oxidase activation in intact PMN and in a cell-free system, respectively, and correlated separately to both early and late DAG production. At 1 min, DAG formation during normoxia was decreased by IL-8 plus fibronectin while hypoxia had no regulatory effect on control of DAG formation by any of the cytokines. In contrast to early DAG formation, hypoxia significantly downregulated late DAG formation induced by buffer without fibronectin, IL-8 plus fibronectin, and IL-1 beta with or without fibronectin. Hypoxia/reoxygenation in and of itself significantly increased DAG formation vs levels seen in the presence or absence of IL-8, TNF-alpha, or IL-1 beta with or without fibronectin. Changes in early DAG production during the alterations in oxygen tension correlated best with corresponding changes in O 2 production in intact cells, whereas late DAG production correlated best with NADPH oxidase activation assayed in the cell-free system. Thus, changes in oxygen tension can directly modulate the extent of the PMN response to stimulation by IL-8, TNF-alpha, or IL-1 beta and the G PLC-receptor pathway is particularly regulated by physiologically relevant periods of hypoxia/reoxygenation.

Abstract
An oleate dependent form of phospholipase D is present in rat brain neuronal nuclei and both the hydrolytic and transphosphatidylation activities measured. Several acidic phospholipids were found to inhibit this activity in a dose dependent manner. The IC50 values varied from 3.5 microM for PIP2 to 200 microM for phosphatidic acid. The hydrolysis of PIP2 by phospholipase C would be expected to result in the disinhibition of the oleate dependent phospholipase D activity.

Abstract
The properties of three different beta-isoforms of phospholipase C (PLC) were analysed using substrate lipids dispersed in phospholipid vesicles, phospholipid-detergent mixed micelles and phospholipid monolayers spread at an air-water interface. Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate hydrolysis went virtually to completion in monolayers, but inositol trisphosphate production was curtailed prematurely in vesicular and micellar assays. Assays were linear for less than 2 min with vesicles; the linear portion could be significantly extended in micelles by increasing the ratio of micelles to enzyme molecules. However, onset of a second lower rate of substrate hydrolysis always occurred when < or = 10% of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) had been utilized. This was not due to enzyme inactivation in the micellar interface, determined by addition of fresh substrate or fresh enzyme after the slow phase of activity had started, nor was it due to overt product inhibition of PLC or apparent entrapment of PLC at the micelle surface. These results are similar to those seen in assays using bacterial PLC and we suggest that the biphasic kinetics may be due to product-dependent changes in the presentation of substrate lipic to PLC in lamellar assays, leading to reduced activity.

Abstract
We previously reported that phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) dramatically increases the gelating activity of smooth muscle alpha-actinin (Fukami, K., Furuhashi, K., Inagaki, M., Endo, T., Hatano, S., and Takenawa, T. (1992) Nature 359, 150-152) and that the hydrolysis of PIP2 on alpha-actinin by tyrosine kinase activation may be important in cytoskeletal reorganization (Fukami, K., Endo, T., Imamura, M., and Takenawa, T. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 1518-1522). Here we report that a proteolytic fragment with lysylendopeptidase comprising amino acids 168-184 (TAPYRNVNIQNFHLSWK) from striated muscle alpha-actinin contains a PIP2-binding site. A synthetic peptide composed of the 17 amino acids remarkably inhibited the activities of phospholipase C (PLC)-gamma 1 and -delta 1. Furthermore, we detected an interaction between PIP2 and a bacterially expressed alpha-actinin fragment (amino acids 137-259) by PLC inhibition assay. Point mutants in which arginine 172 or lysine 184 of alpha-actinin were replaced by isoleucine reduced the inhibitory effect on PLC activity by nearly half. Direct interactions between PIP2 and the peptide (amino acids 168-184) or the bacterially expressed protein (amino acids 137-259) were confirmed by enzyme-linked immunosorvent assay. We also found this region homologous to the sequence of the PIP2-binding site in spectrin and the pleckstrin homology domains of PLC-delta 1 and Grb7. Synthetic peptides from the homologous regions in spectrin and PLC-delta 1 inhibited PLC activities. These results indicate that residues 168-184 comprise a binding site for PIP2 in alpha-actinin and that similar sequences found in spectrin and PLC-delta 1 may be involved in the interaction with PIP2.

Abstract
In search for novel actin binding proteins in Dictyostelium discoideum we have isolated a cDNA clone coding for a protein of approximately 50 kDa that is highly homologous to the class of adenylyl cyclase-associated proteins (CAP). In Saccharomyces cerevisiae the amino-terminal part of CAP is involved in the regulation of the adenylyl cyclase whereas the loss of the carboxyl-terminal domain results in morphological and nutritional defects. To study the interaction of Dictyostelium CAP with actin, the complete protein and its amino-terminal and carboxyl-terminal domains were expressed in Escherichia coli and used in actin binding assays. CAP sequestered actin in a Ca2+ independent way. This activity was localized to the carboxyl-terminal domain. CAP and its carboxyl-terminal domain led to a fluorescence enhancement of pyrene-labeled G-actin up to 50% indicating a direct interaction, whereas the amino-terminal domain did not enhance. In polymerization as well as in viscometric assays the ability of the carboxyl-terminal domain to sequester actin and to prevent F-actin formation was approximately two times higher than that of intact CAP. The sequestering activity of full length CAP could be inhibited by phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), whereas the activity of the carboxyl-terminal domain alone was not influenced, suggesting that the amino-terminal half of the protein is required for the PIP2 modulation of the CAP function. In profilin-minus cells the CAP concentration is increased by approximately 73%, indicating that CAP may compensate some profilin functions in vivo. In migrating D. discoideum cells CAP was enriched at anterior and posterior plasma membrane regions. Only a weak staining of the cytoplasm was observed. In chemotactically stimulated cells the protein was very prominent in leading fronts. The data suggest an involvement of D. discoideum CAP in microfilament reorganization near the plasma membrane in a PIP2-regulated manner.

Abstract
CD4+ T cells from mice with murine AIDS (MAIDS) have been shown to be unable to respond to TCR stimulation as measured by proliferation, IL-2 production, or IL-2R upregulation, although responsiveness was restored with PMA and ionomycin. In this report we have demonstrated that the inability of MAIDS CD4+ T cells to respond to CD3 stimulation was not associated with reduced surface expression of CD3, CD4, or CD28 and could not be overcome by costimulation with anti-CD28 antibody. However, MAIDS CD4+ T cells failed to activate the PIP2 hydrolysis pathway efficiently, resulting in diminished IP3 production and reduced Ca2+ mobilization compared to normal controls. Additionally, TCR signaling in MAIDS resulted in a reduction in the level of tyrosine phosphorylation of some proteins including deficient tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma 1, compared to normal CD4+ T cells. These studies suggest that stimulation through the TCR in CD4+ T cells from MAIDS-infected mice is uncoupled from the phosphotidylinositol hydrolysis pathway due to deficient activation of PLC-gamma 1.

Abstract
The role of the cytoskeleton in the rundown and reactivation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) sensitive K+ channels (KATP channels) was examined by perturbing selectively the intracellular surface of inside-out membrane patches excised from guinea-pig ventricular myocytes. Actin filament-depolymerizing agents (cytochalasins and desoxyribonuclease I) accelerated channel rundown, while actin filament stabilizer (phalloidin) or phosphatidylinositol biphosphate (PIP2; inhibitor of F-actin-severing proteins) inhibited spontaneous and/or Ca2+-induced rundown. When rundown was induced by cytochalasin D or by long exposure to high Ca2+, channel activity could not be restored by exposure to MgATP, but application of F-actin with MgATP could reinstitute channel activity. The processes of rundown and reactivation of cardiac KATP channels may thus be influenced by the assembly and disassembly of the actin cytoskeletal network, which provides a novel regulatory mechanism of this channel.

Abstract
It has recently been suggested that pleckstrin homology (PH) domains bind specifically to phospholipids, with phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2) being most strongly bound. This observation suggests that PH domains may be responsible for membrane association of proteins in which they occur. Further, this membrane association may be regulated by enzymes that modify lipid head groups to which PH domains may bind. We have studied the binding of phospholipids to the PH domain of human dynamin, a 100 kDa GTPase that is involved in the initial stages of endocytosis. We describe a rapid method for screening PH domain/ligand interactions that gives precise binding constants. We confirm that PtdIns(4,5)P2 can bind to dynamin PH domain, although not in an aggregated state. Using NMR spectroscopy, we have mapped a specific site on the surface of dynamin PH domain of which binding of gIns(1,4,5)P3 (the head-group skeleton of PtdIns(4,5)P2) occurs. The relative affinity of acidic phospholipids for dynamin PH domain correlates with their ability to activate the GTPase of dynamin. We propose, therefore, that the interaction of these phospholipids with dynamin is likely to occur via the PH domain. Given the fact that PH domains are often found in proteins associated with GTPase activity, or in guanine nucleotide exchange factors, we suggest that one role of PH domains may be to couple phosphatidylinositol signalling to GTP hydrolysis.

Abstract
Adenosine-5'trisphosphate (ATP) is stored and co-released with various neurotransmitters but it may also act as a fast excitatory neurotransmitter trough the activation of purinoreceptor(s). In this study the effect of ATP on phospholipase C (PLC) degrading labelled PtdIns(4,5)P2 and PtdIns in brain cortex slices, brain homogenate and subcellular fractions was investigated. It was found that ATP added into brain slices activated significantly and specifically PtdIns(4,5)P2 degradation and this process was inhibited by theophylline. Moreover, ATP maintained a higher level of inositol(1,4,5)P3 radioactivity in total water-soluble inositol metabolites. However, ATP added directly for the assay of PLC into brain homogenate or subcellular fractions inhibits phosphoinositide degradation in a receptor-independent manner and suppresses conversion of Ins(1,4,5)P3 into Ins(1,4)P2. Our results indicate that ATP acting extracellularly through a purinergic receptor(s) activates PtdIns(4,5)P2 degradation and release of Ins(1,4,5)P3. ATP acting directly on PLC inhibits in a receptor-independent manner phosphoinositide degradation, and protects against liberation of lipid-derived second messengers.

Abstract
In this report, we investigated the possibility that a product of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) breakdown, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3), and its downstream effector, Ca2+, is involved in oocyte maturation. Microinjection of monoclonal antibody specifically directed to PIP2 into oocytes prior to progesterone addition inhibited meiotic maturation. In addition, preventing or suppressing the progesterone-induced increase in [Ca2+]i and maintaining cytosolic free Ca2+ of oocyte at 0.1 or 0.3 microM by Br2-BAPTA buffered Ca2+ solutions, completely blocked maturation. However, raising cytosolic Ca2+ concentration of oocyte to 1.0 or 3.0 microM, the inhibitory Br2-BAPTA effects on oocyte maturation was greatly diminished. Finally, microinjection of heparin, a potent antagonist of Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor, inhibited progesterone-induced oocyte maturation in a manner that is linearly proportional to its cytoplasmic concentration. These results strongly support the hypothesis that PIP2 turnover as well as Ins(1,4,5)P3-induced Ca2+ release play crucial roles in regulating normal meiotic cell division in Xenopus oocyte.

Abstract
Activation of phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase D (PLD) has been implicated as a critical step in numerous cellular pathways, including signal transduction, membrane trafficking, and the regulation of mitosis. We report here the identification of the first human PLD cDNA, which defines a new and highly conserved gene family. Characterization of recombinant human PLD1 reveals that it is membrane-associated, selective for phosphatidylcholine, stimulated by phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, activated by the monomeric G-protein ADP-ribosylation factor-1, and inhibited by oleate. PLD1 likely encodes the gene product responsible for the most widely studied endogenous PLD activity.

Abstract
The beta spectrin genes each produce two alternate transcripts the longer of which has a approximately 210 amino acid C-terminal extension including a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain and also an uncharacterized membrane binding site. GST constructs including the entire or the N-terminal segment of the beta I sigma II spectrin PH domain bind to crude and extracted brain membranes, to protein free brain lipid and to vesicles containing phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate. This PH domain also binds radiolabelled inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and preincubation with IP3 inhibits binding to extracted brain membranes. We conclude that membrane binding of the beta I sigma II spectrin C-terminal region is by means of a direct interaction between the N-terminal region of the PH domain and membrane lipids and does not require membrane protein. The PH domain of the beta-adrenergic receptor kinase showed different binding properties in every assay employed, showing that different PH domains may have different membrane binding specificity.

Abstract
Purified human recombinant ezrin cosediments with large liposomes containing phosphatidylserine (PS). This interaction is optimal at low ionic strength. At physiological ionic strength (130 mM KCl) ezrin interacts strongly with liposomes containing > or = 5% phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), the residual being phosphatidylcholine (PC). When PIP2 is replaced by phosphatidylinositol-4-monophosphate (PIP), phosphatidylinositol (PI) or PS, the interaction is markedly reduced. Furthermore we show, that a purified N-terminal glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion protein of ezrin (1-309) still has retained the capacity to interact with PIP2-containing liposomes, whereas a C-terminal fusion protein (310-586) has lost this ability.

Abstract
The recently cloned G protein-coupled adenosine A3 receptor has been proposed to play a role in the pathophysiology of cerebral ischemia. Because phospholipase C activation occurs as a very early response to brain ischemia, we evaluated the ability of A3- selective and nonselective adenosine analogues to elicit phosphoinositide hydrolysis. In myo-[3H]inositol-labeled rat striatal and hippocampal slices, A3 agonists stimulated formation of [3H]inositol phosphates in a concentration-dependent manner. In striatum, the potency order was 2-chloro-N6-(3-iodobenzyl)- adenosine-5'-N-methyluronamide > or = N6-(3-iodobenzyl)- adenosine-5'-N-methyluronamide >> N-methyl-1,3-di-n-butylxanthine-7-beta-D-ribofuronamide > or = 5'-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine > or = N6-2-(4-aminophenyl)-ethyladenosine > N6-(p-sulfophenyl)-adenosine = 1,3-dibutylxanthine-7- riboside, which is identical to the potency order in binding studies at cloned rat A3 receptors. Stimulation of phospholipase C activity was abolished by guanosine-5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate), confirming the involvement of a G protein-coupled receptor. Activation of phospholipase C was higher in the striatum than in the hippocampus, consistent with A3 receptor densities. Stimulation of phospholipase C activity by adenosine analogues was only modestly antagonized by xanthine derivatives and at much higher concentrations than needed for blocking adenosine A1, A2A, and A2b receptors. In the presence of an A1/A2 antagonist, a selective A3 in rat striation. Thus, stimulation of phospholipase C activity agonist only weakly inhibited forskolin-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity represents a principal transduction mechanism for A3 receptors in mammalian brain, and perhaps A3 receptor-mediated increases of inositol phosphates in the ischemic brain contribute to neurodegeneration by raising intracellular calcium levels.
