Abstract
Lipids play critical roles in a litany of physiological and pathophysiological events, often through the regulation of protein function. These activities are generally difficult to characterize, however, because the membrane environment in which lipids operate is very complex. Moreover, lipids have a diverse range of biological functions, including the recruitment of proteins to membrane surfaces, actions as small-molecule ligands, and covalent protein modification through lipidation. Advancements in the development of bioorthogonal reactions have facilitated the study of lipid activities by providing the ability to selectively label probes bearing bioorthogonal tags within complex biological samples. In this Account, we discuss recent efforts to harness the beneficial properties of bioorthogonal labeling strategies in elucidating lipid function. Initially, we summarize strategies for the design and synthesis of lipid probes bearing bioorthogonal tags. This discussion includes issues to be considered when deciding where to incorporate the tag, particularly the presentation within a membrane environment. We then present examples of the application of these probes to the study of lipid activities, with a particular emphasis on the elucidation of protein-lipid binding interactions. One such application involves the development of lipid and membrane microarray analysis as a high-throughput platform for characterizing protein-binding interactions. Here we discuss separate strategies for binding analysis involving the immobilization of either whole liposomes or simplified isolated lipid structures. In addition, we present the different strategies that have been used to derivatize membrane surfaces via bioorthogonal reactions, either by using this chemistry to produce functionalized lipid scaffolds that can be incorporated into membranes or through direct modification of intact membrane surfaces. We then provide an overview of the development of lipid activity probes to label and identify proteins that bind to a particular lipid from complex biological samples. This process involves the strategy of activity-based proteomics, in which proteins are collectively labeled on the basis of function (in this case, ligand binding) rather than abundance. We summarize strategies for designing and applying lipid activity probes that allow for the selective labeling and characterization of protein targets. Additionally, we briefly comment on applications other than studying protein-lipid binding. These include the generation of new lipid structures with beneficial properties, labeling of tagged lipids in live cells for studies involving fluorescence imaging, elucidation of covalent protein lipidation, and identification of biosynthetic lipid intermediates. These applications illustrate the early phase of the promising field of applying bioorthogonal chemistry to the study of lipid function.

Abstract
A single-cell assay was developed to measure the activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) using microanalytical chemical separations and a fluorescently labeled lipid substrate. Phosphatidyl-inositol 4,5 bisphosphate labeled on its acyl chain with Bodipy fluorescein (Bodipy Fl PIP(2)) was utilized as a substrate for both in vitro and cell-based assays. Detection limits for the substrate and product of the PI3K reaction were 10 to 20 zeptomol. In vitro assays with PI3K with and without pharmacologic inhibitors demonstrated that Bodipy Fl PIP(2) was converted to phosphatidyl-inositol 3,4,5 trisphosphate (Bodipy Fl PIP(3)). Bodipy Fl PIP(3) could be back converted to Bodipy Fl PIP(2) by the phosphatase PTEN. When Bodipy Fl PIP(2) was added to a cell lysate, 1.4 fmol of the Bodipy Fl PIP(3) were produced per ng of protein in the cytoplasmic extract in 10 min. Addition of Bodipy Fl PIP(3) to a cell lysate yielded 3 fmol of Bodipy Fl PIP(2) per ng of protein in 8 min. Both Bodipy Fl PIP(2) and Bodipy Fl PIP(3) were measureable in single cells and the two species could be inter-converted. Under the appropriate conditions, a fluorescent diacylglycerol was also detected in single cells. When the FcepsilonR 1 receptor on the cells loaded with the fluorescent lipid was cross-linked, the amount of Bodipy Fl PIP(3) generated per cell increased 4-fold over that of unstimulated cells. This production of Bodipy Fl PIP(3) was blocked by wortmannin. Chemical cytometry utilizing the fluorescent lipids will be of value in understanding lipid metabolism at the single-cell level.

Abstract
Phospholipase C isozymes (PLCs) catalyze the conversion of the membrane lipid phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)) into two second messengers, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and diacylglycerol. This family of enzymes are key signaling proteins that regulate the physiological responses of many extracellular stimuli such as hormones, neurotransmitters, and growth factors. Aberrant regulation of PLCs has been implicated in various diseases including cancer and Alzheimer's disease. How, when, and where PLCs are activated under different cellular contexts are still largely unknown. We have developed a fluorogenic PLC reporter, WH-15, that can be cleaved in a cascade reaction to generate fluorescent 6-aminoquinoline. When applied in enzymatic assays with either pure PLCs or cell lysates, this reporter displays more than a 20-fold fluorescence enhancement in response to PLC activity. Under assay conditions, WH-15 has comparable K(m) and V(max) with the endogenous PIP(2). This novel reporter will likely find broad applications that vary from imaging PLC activity in live cells to high-throughput screening of PLC inhibitors.

Abstract
Class I phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) isoforms generate the intracellular signaling lipid, phosphatidylinositol(3,4,5)trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3)). PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) regulates major aspects of cellular behavior, and the use of both genetic and pharmacological intervention has revealed important isoform-specific roles for PI3Ks in health and disease. Despite this interest, current methods for measuring PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) have major limitations, including insensitivity, reliance on radiolabeling, low throughput and an inability to resolve different fatty-acyl species. We introduce a methodology based on phosphate methylation coupled to high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) to solve many of these problems and describe an integrated approach to quantify PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) and related phosphoinositides (regio-isomers of PtdInsP and PtdInsP(2) are not resolved). This methodology can be used to quantify multiple fatty-acyl species of PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) in unstimulated mouse and human cells (≥10(5)) or tissues (≥0.1 mg) and their increase upon appropriate stimulation.

Abstract
Cytokinesis is the final step of cell division whereby the dividing cells separate physically. Failure of this process has been proposed to cause tumourigenesis. Several specific lipids are essential for cytokinesis, and recent evidence has revealed that phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns3P) - a well-known regulator of endosomal trafficking, receptor signaling, nutrient sensing and autophagy - plays an evolutionarily conserved role during cytokinesis. The emerging picture is that PtdIns3P and its regulators and effectors constitute a novel regulatory mechanism for cytokinesis. Elucidating the role of PtdIns3P in cytokinesis might contribute to insight into mechanisms of tumour development and suppression.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate [PtdIns(3)P] plays an important role in recruitment of various effector proteins in the endocytic and autophagic pathways. In an attempt to follow the distribution of PtdIns(3)P at the ultrastructural level, we are using the Fab1, YOTB, Vac1, and EEA1 (FYVE) domain, which is a zinc finger motif specifically binding to PtdIns(3)P. To follow PtdIns(3)P trafficking during a defined time window, here we have used a monomeric dimerizable FYVE probe, which binds with high avidity to PtdIns(3)P only after rapalog-induced dimerization. The probe localized to early and late endocytic compartments according to the time period of dimerization, which indicates that PtdIns(3)P is turned over via the endocytic machinery. In the functional context of epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulation, we observed that dimerization of the probe led to clustering of mainly early endocytic structures, leaving most of the probe localized to the limiting membrane of endosomes. Interestingly, these clustered endosomes contained coats positive for the PtdIns(3)P-binding protein hepatocyte growth factor-regulated tyrosine kinase substrate (Hrs), indicating that the probe did not displace Hrs binding. We conclude that the dimerizer-inducible probe is useful for the time-resolved detection of PtdIns(3)P at the ultrastructural level, but its effects on endosome morphology after EGF stimulation need to be taken into account.

Abstract
We have developed an immunocytochemistry method for the semiquantitative detection of phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-trisphosphate (PI(3,4,5)P3) at the cell plasma membrane. This protocol combines the use of a glutathione S-transferase-tagged pleckstrin homology (PH) domain of the general phosphoinositides-1 receptor (GST-GRP1PH) with fluorescence confocal microscopy and image segmentation using cell mask software analysis. This methodology allows the analysis of PI(3,4,5)P3 subcellular distribution in resting and epidermal growth factor (EGF)-stimulated HEK293T cells and in LIM1215 (wild-type phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)) and LIM2550 (H1047R mutation in PI3K catalytic domain) colonic carcinoma cells. Formation of PI(3,4,5)P3 was observed 5min following EGF stimulation and resulted in an increase of the membrane/cytoplasm fluorescence ratio from 1.03 to 1.53 for HEK293T cells and from 2.2 to 3.3 for LIM1215 cells. Resting LIM2550 cells stained with GST-GRP1PH had an elevated membrane/cytoplasm fluorescence ratio of 9.8, suggesting constitutive PI3K activation. The increase in the membrane/cytoplasm fluorescent ratio was inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner by the PI3K inhibitor LY294002. This cellular confocal imaging assay can be used to directly assess the effects of PI3K mutations in cancer cell lines and to determine the potential specificity and effectiveness of PI3K inhibitors in cancer cells.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides like phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)) are negatively charged lipids that play a pivotal role in membrane trafficking, signal transduction, and protein anchoring. We have designed a force field for the PIP(2) headgroup using quantum mechanical methods and characterized its properties inside a lipid bilayer using molecular dynamics simulations. Macroscopic properties such as area/headgroup, density profiles, and lipid order parameters calculated from these simulations agree well with the experimental values. However, microscopically, the PIP(2) introduces a local perturbation of the lipid bilayer. The average PIP(2) headgroup orientation of 45 degrees relative to the bilayer normal induces a unique, distance-dependent organization of the lipids that surround PIP(2). The headgroups of these lipids preferentially orient closer to the bilayer normal. This perturbation creates a PIP(2) lipid microdomain with the neighboring lipids. We propose that the PIP(2) lipid microdomain enables the PIP(2) to function as a membrane-bound anchoring molecule.

Abstract
The establishment and maintenance of polarized plasma membrane domains is essential for cellular function and proper development of organisms. The molecules and pathways involved in determining cell polarity are remarkably well conserved between animal species. Historically, exocytic mechanisms have received primary emphasis among trafficking routes responsible for cell polarization. Accumulating evidence now reveals that endocytosis plays an equally important role in the proper localization of key polarity proteins. Intriguingly, some polarity proteins can also regulate the endocytic machinery. Here, we review emerging evidence for the reciprocal regulation between polarity proteins and endocytic pathways, and discuss possible models for how these distinct processes could interact to create separate cellular domains.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) function early in intracellular signal transduction pathways and affect many biological functions. A further level of complexity derives from the existence of eight PI3K isoforms, which are divided into class I, class II and class III PI3Ks. PI3K signalling has been implicated in metabolic control, immunity, angiogenesis and cardiovascular homeostasis, and is one of the most frequently deregulated pathways in cancer. PI3K inhibitors have recently entered clinical trials in oncology. A better understanding of how the different PI3K isoforms are regulated and control signalling could uncover their roles in pathology and reveal in which disease contexts their blockade could be most beneficial.

Abstract
Enveloped viruses, which include many medically important viruses such as human immunodeficiency virus, influenza virus and hepatitis C virus, are intracellular parasites that acquire lipid envelopes from their host cells. Success of replication is intimately linked to their ability to hijack host cell mechanisms, particularly those related to membrane dynamics and lipid metabolism. Despite recent progress, our knowledge of lipid mediated virus-host interactions remains highly incomplete. In addition, diverse experimental systems are used to study different stages of virus replication thus complicating comparisons. This review aims to present a unifying view of the widely diverse strategies used by enveloped viruses at distinct stages of their replication cycles.

Abstract
The phosphoinositide (PI) cycle, discovered over 50 years ago by Mabel and Lowell Hokin, describes a series of biochemical reactions that occur on the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane of cells in response to receptor activation by extracellular stimuli. Studies from our laboratory have shown that the retina and rod outer segments (ROSs) have active PI metabolism. Biochemical studies revealed that the ROSs contain the enzymes necessary for phosphorylation of phosphoinositides. We showed that light stimulates various components of the PI cycle in the vertebrate ROS, including diacylglycerol kinase, PI synthetase, phosphatidylinositol phosphate kinase, phospholipase C, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K). This article describes recent studies on the PI3K-generated PI lipid second messengers in the control and regulation of PI-binding proteins in the vertebrate retina.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol phosphates (PtdInsPs) are present within the nucleus, as well as in the membrane. In this mass spectrometry study, different acyl-containing species of endonuclear PtdInsPs were analyzed in order to clearly understand the role of individual molecular species. A (34:1) acyl-containing phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate [PtdInsP(2)(34:1)] and PtdInsP(2)(36:1) were preferentially detected in envelope-less nuclei prepared from various cultured human cells, while PtdInsP(2)(38:4) was not a major component within these nuclei. A significant amount of PtdInsP(2)(34:0) was detected in the HeLa cell nucleus, but not in the A431 and THP-1 cell nuclei. During the cell cycle in HeLa cells, PtdInsP(2)(34:0) levels increased in the early G1 phase, and then gradually decreased through S phase, while PtdInsP(2)(34:1) levels tended to decrease only in late G1 phase and PtdInsP(2)(38:4) did not change significantly. Thus, individual PtdInsP(2) species apparently play different roles in nuclear events based on individual regulation of endonuclear levels. The non-arachidonate-containing species were also detected in normal human blood and fluids, suggesting that these minor species may have unique functions in the human body. The techniques used in this study will be applied to clinical studies on a PtdInsPs metabolism.

Abstract
To improve our understanding of the important roles played by inositol lipid derivatives in signalling and other cellular processes, it is crucial to measure phosphoinositide concentration changes in individual cells with high spatial and temporal resolution. A number of protein domains that interact with inositol lipids in a specific manner have been identified. Tagged with the green fluorescent protein or its colour variants, these protein modules can be used as probes to visualize various phosphoinositide species in different sub-cellular compartments. Here, we present protocols for fluorescence imaging of phosphoinositide dynamics in single living cells. Total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy is particularly powerful for time-lapse recordings of phosphoinositides in the plasma membrane. We demonstrate how this technique can be used to record phospholipase C- and PI3-kinase-induced changes in inositol lipids in insulin-secreting cells. These procedures should be applicable to studies of the spatio-temporal regulation of phosphoinositide metabolism in many types of cells.

Abstract
Zonula occludens proteins (ZO) are postsynaptic density protein-95 discs large-zonula occludens (PDZ) domain-containing proteins that play a fundamental role in the assembly of tight junctions and establishment of cell polarity. Here, we show that the second PDZ domain of ZO-1 and ZO-2 binds phosphoinositides (PtdInsP) and we identified critical residues involved in the interaction. Furthermore, peptide and PtdInsP binding of ZO PDZ2 domains are mutually exclusive. Although lipid binding does not seem to be required for plasma membrane localisation of ZO-1, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P (2)) binding to the PDZ2 domain of ZO-2 regulates ZO-2 recruitment to nuclear speckles. Knockdown of ZO-2 expression disrupts speckle morphology, indicating that ZO-2 might play an active role in formation and stabilisation of these subnuclear structures. This study shows for the first time that ZO isoforms bind PtdInsPs and offers an alternative regulatory mechanism for the formation and stabilisation of protein complexes in the nucleus.

Abstract
Lymphocyte antigen receptor engagement profoundly changes the cellular content of phosphoinositide lipids and soluble inositol phosphates. Among these, the phosphoinositides phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3) play key signaling roles by acting as pleckstrin homology (PH) domain ligands that recruit signaling proteins to the plasma membrane. Moreover, PIP2 acts as a precursor for the second messenger molecules diacylglycerol and soluble inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), essential mediators of PKC, Ras/Erk, and Ca2+ signaling in lymphocytes. IP3 phosphorylation by IP3 3-kinases generates inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (IP4), an essential soluble regulator of PH domain binding to PIP3 in developing T cells. Besides PIP2, PIP3, IP3, and IP4, lymphocytes produce multiple other phosphoinositides and soluble inositol phosphates that could have important physiological functions. To aid their analysis, detailed protocols that allow one to simultaneously measure the levels of multiple different phosphoinositide or inositol phosphate isomers in lymphocytes are provided here. They are based on thin layer, conventional and high-performance liquid chromatographic separation methods followed by radiolabeling or non-radioactive metal-dye detection. Finally, less broadly applicable non-chromatographic methods for detection of specific phosphoinositide or inositol phosphate isomers are discussed. Support protocols describe how to obtain pure unstimulated CD4+CD8+ thymocyte populations for analyses of inositol phosphate turnover during positive and negative selection, key steps in T cell development.

Abstract
In studies on lipid metabolomics, liquid chromatography/ mass spectrometry (LC/MS) is a robust and popular technique. Although effective reversed-phase (RP) LC/ MS methods enabling the separation of phospholipid molecular species have been developed, RPLC methods to analyze phosphatidylinositol phosphates (PIPs) have not been reported. In this study, we developed conditions suitable for PIP analysis. Coupled with (diethylamino)ethyl (DEAE)-cellulose pretreatment, at least 1 pmol each of phosphatidylinositol monophosphates (PIP1), bisphosphates (PIP2), and triphosphates standards per approximately 6 x 10(6) cultured cells could be measured. Using these methods, we detected elevated concentrations of more than 12 PIP1 species in epidermal growth factor (EGF)-stimulated A431 cells, a human epidermoid carcinoma cell line. The PIP2 species detected were not elevated after stimulation. We also detected EGF-induced increases in the levels of several phosphatidic acid species using another set of methods. Our method sensitively determined PIPs within a biological sample and is thus suitable for analysis of phoisphoiniositide metabolism.

Abstract
The humoral response to fungal and Gram-positive infections is regulated by the serpin-family inhibitor, Necrotic. Following immune-challenge, a proteolytic cascade is activated which signals through the Toll receptor. Toll activation results in a range of antibiotic peptides being synthesised in the fat-body and exported to the haemolymph. As with mammalian serpins, Necrotic turnover in Drosophila is rapid. This serpin is synthesised in the fat-body, but its site of degradation has been unclear. By “freezing” endocytosis with a temperature sensitive Dynamin mutation, we demonstrate that Necrotic is removed from the haemolymph in two groups of giant cells: the garland and pericardial athrocytes. Necrotic uptake responds rapidly to infection, being visibly increased after 30 mins and peaking at 6–8 hours. Co-localisation of anti-Nec with anti-AP50, Rab5, and Rab7 antibodies establishes that the serpin is processed through multi-vesicular bodies and delivered to the lysosome, where it co-localises with the ubiquitin-binding protein, HRS. Nec does not co-localise with Rab11, indicating that the serpin is not re-exported from athrocytes. Instead, mutations which block late endosome/lysosome fusion (dor, hk, and car) cause accumulation of Necrotic-positive endosomes, even in the absence of infection. Knockdown of the 6 Drosophila orthologues of the mammalian LDL receptor family with dsRNA identifies LpR1 as an enhancer of the immune response. Uptake of Necrotic from the haemolymph is blocked by a chromosomal deletion of LpR1. In conclusion, we identify the cells and the receptor molecule responsible for the uptake and degradation of the Necrotic serpin in Drosophila melanogaster. The scavenging of serpin/proteinase complexes may be a critical step in the regulation of proteolytic cascades. Serpin inhibitors control a wide range of rapid physiological responses that are activated by proteolytic cascades, such as blood coagulation, inflammation, the complement pathway, and angiogenesis. They interact with their target proteinases by a “suicide inhibition” mechanism, which generates an inert, denatured, serpin/proteinase complex. In mammals, humoral serpins are secreted from the liver into the blood plasma. The denatured complex is later endocytosed back into the liver and degraded. In Drosophila, the Necrotic serpin is secreted from the fat-body into the haemolymph, where it controls the humoral immune response. We show here, however, that Necrotic is not endocytosed in the fat-body, but in the garland and pericardial athrocytes. These cells clear serpins from the haemolymph extremely rapidly. The Necrotic-binding receptor for this process is LpR1, a member of the LDLR family. The endocytosed serpin is targeted for lysosomal degradation, with none being recycled to the haemolymph. More importantly, we show that mutations in LpR1 cause a profound effect on the immune response. Thus, our results indicate that the scavenging of serpin/proteinase complexes might be a critical step in the regulation of proteolytic cascades.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The small, dense LDL phenotype is associated with an increased cardiovascular disease risk. A genome-wide scan performed on 236 nuclear families of the Quebec Family Study (QFS) revealed a QTL for LDL-peak particle size (LDL-PPD) on the 17q21 region. Three positional candidates were identified in this region according to their implication in the phosphoinositide (PI) cycle: the myotubularin-related protein 4 (MTMR4), the phospholipase C, delta 3 (PLCD3), and the diacylglycerol kinase E (DGKE) genes. OBJECTIVES To test the association between MTMR4, PLCD3, and DGKE gene polymorphisms, LDL-PPD and plasma lipid parameters. METHODS Analyses were performed on 680 subjects of QFS. LDL-PPD was measured by gradient gel electrophoresis on non-denaturating 2-16% polyacrylamide gradient gels. Direct sequencing was performed to identify genetic variations within these genes. RESULTS The c.-754G>C, c.183G>A, and c.579C>A DGKE SNPs were significantly associated with higher plasma triglyceride levels (p=0.029, p=0.008, p=0.001, respectively). The c.508C>G and c.890T>G MTMR4 polymorphisms were associated with plasma total-cholesterol concentrations (p=0.02, p=0.02, respectively), while no association was observed with PLCD3 gene polymorphisms. CONCLUSION The c.579C>A DGKE gene polymorphism is associated with plasma triglyceride levels, while MTMR4 SNPs seem to predict variations in plasma cholesterol levels.

Abstract
New sensing materials that are robust, biocompatible, and amenable to array fabrication are vital to the development of novel bioassays. Herein we report the fabrication of ultrathin (ca. 5-8 nm) glass (silicate) layers on top of a gold surface for surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensing applications. The nanoglass layers are fabricated by layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition of poly(allylamine) hydrochloride (PAH) and sodium silicate (SiO(x)), followed by calcination at high temperature. To deposit these layers in a uniform and reproducible manner, we employed a high-volume, low-pressure (HVLP) paint gun technique that offers high precision and better control through pressurized nitrogen gas. The new substrates are stable in solution for a long period of time, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images confirm that these films are nearly fracture-free. In addition, atomic force microscopy (AFM) indicates that the surface roughness of the silicate layers is low (rms = 2 to 3 nm), similar to that of bare glass slides. By tuning the experimental parameters such as HVLP gun pressure and layers deposited, different surface morphology could be obtained as revealed by fluorescence microscopy and SEM images. To demonstrate the utility of these ultrathin, fracture-free substrates, lipid bilayer membranes composed of phosphorylated derivatives of phosphoinositides (PIs) were deposited on the new substrates for biosensing applications. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) data indicated that these lipid components in the membranes were highly mobile. Furthermore, interactions of PtdIns(4,5)P2 and PtdIns(4)P lipids with their respective binding proteins were detected with high sensitivity by using SPR spectroscopy. This method of glass deposition can be combined with already well-developed surface chemistry for a range of planar glass assay applications, and the process is amenable to automation for mass production of nanometer thick silicate chips in a highly reproducible manner for label-free measurements.

Abstract
Membrane fusion underlies many cellular events, including secretion, exocytosis, endocytosis, organelle reconstitution, transport from endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi and nuclear envelope formation. A large number of investigations into membrane fusion indicate various roles for individual members of the phosphoinositide class of membrane lipids. We first review the phosphoinositides as membrane recognition sites and their regulatory functions in membrane fusion. We then consider how modulation of phosphoinositides and their products may affect the structure and dynamics of natural membranes facilitating fusion. These diverse roles underscore the importance of these phospholipids in the fusion of biological membranes.

Abstract
Many effects of insulin, insulin-like growth factors and other receptor stimuli are mediated via the phospholipid second messenger phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP(3)). PIP(3) is formed by the activity of phosphoinositide 3-kinases in the plasma membrane, where it serves to recruit signalling proteins. These proteins coordinate complex events leading to changes in cell metabolism, growth, movement and survival. Over the past decade, new techniques for measurements of PIP(3) in the plasma membrane of individual living cells have markedly improved our understanding of the role of this messenger in a variety of cellular processes. This review summarises the mechanisms involved in formation and degradation of PIP(3) in insulin-responsive cells, how PIP(3) can be measured in individual cells as well as accumulating evidence that the plasma membrane PIP(3) concentration undergoes complex spatio-temporal patterns in many types of cells, with particular emphasis on autocrine insulin-induced PIP(3) oscillations in pancreatic beta-cells.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P(2)] and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PI(3,4,5)P(3)] are phosphoinositides (PIs) present in small amounts in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane (PM) lipid bilayer of host target cells. They are thought to modulate the activity of proteins involved in enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) infection. However, the role of PI(4,5)P(2) and PI(3,4,5)P(3) in EPEC pathogenesis remains obscure. Here we show that EPEC induces a transient PI(4,5)P(2) accumulation at bacterial infection sites. Simultaneous actin accumulation, likely involved in the construction of the actin-rich pedestal, is also observed at these sites. Acute PI(4,5)P(2) depletion partially diminishes EPEC adherence to the cell surface and actin pedestal formation. These findings are consistent with a bimodal role, whereby PI(4,5)P(2) contributes to EPEC association with the cell surface and to the maximal induction of actin pedestals. Finally, we show that EPEC induces PI(3,4,5)P(3) clustering at bacterial infection sites, in a translocated intimin receptor (Tir)-dependent manner. Tir phosphorylated on tyrosine 454, but not on tyrosine 474, forms complexes with an active phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), suggesting that PI3K recruited by Tir prompts the production of PI(3,4,5)P(3) beneath EPEC attachment sites. The functional significance of this event may be related to the ability of EPEC to modulate cell death and innate immunity.

Abstract
Akt is a phospholipid-binding protein and the downstream effector of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway. Akt has three isoforms: Akt1, Akt2, and Akt3. All of these isoforms are expressed in rod photoreceptor cells, but the individual functions of each isoform are not known. In this study, we found that light induces the activation of Akt1. The membrane binding of Akt1 to rod outer segments (ROS) is insulin receptor (IR)/PI3K-dependent as demonstrated by reduced binding of Akt1 to ROS membranes of photoreceptor-specific IR knockout mice. Membrane binding of Akt1 is mediated through its Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain. To determine whether binding of the PH domain of Akt1 to photoreceptor membranes is regulated by light, various green fluorescent protein (GFP)/Akt1-PH domain fusion proteins were expressed in rod photoreceptors of transgenic Xenopus laevis under the control of the Xenopus opsin promoter. The R25C mutant PH domain of Akt1, which does not bind phosphoinositides, failed to associate with plasma membranes in a light-dependent manner. This study suggests that light-dependent generation of phosphoinositides regulates the activation and membrane binding of Akt1 in vivo. Our results also suggest that actin cytoskeletal organization may be regulated through light-dependent generation of phosphoinositides.

Abstract
Retroviruses acquire a lipid envelope during budding from the membrane of their hosts. Therefore, the composition of this envelope can provide important information about the budding process and its location. Here, we present mass spectrometry analysis of the lipid content of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and murine leukemia virus (MLV). The results of this comprehensive survey found that the overall lipid content of these viruses mostly matched that of the plasma membrane, which was considerably different from the total lipid content of the cells. However, several lipids are enriched in comparison to the composition of the plasma membrane: (i) cholesterol, ceramide, and GM3; and (ii) phosphoinositides, phosphorylated derivatives of phosphatidylinositol. Interestingly, microvesicles, which are similar in size to viruses and are also released from the cell periphery, lack phosphoinositides, suggesting a different budding mechanism/location for these particles than for retroviruses. One phosphoinositide, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P(2)], has been implicated in membrane binding by HIV Gag. Consistent with this observation, we found that PI(4,5)P(2) was enriched in HIV-1 and that depleting this molecule in cells reduced HIV-1 budding. Analysis of mutant virions mapped the enrichment of PI(4,5)P(2) to the matrix domain of HIV Gag. Overall, these results suggest that HIV-1 and other retroviruses bud from cholesterol-rich regions of the plasma membrane and exploit matrix/PI(4,5)P(2) interactions for particle release from cells.

Abstract
Interdisciplinary research focused on biological membranes has revealed them as signaling and trafficking platforms for processes fundamental to life. Biomembranes harbor receptors, ion channels, lipid domains, lipid signals, and scaffolding complexes, which function to maintain cellular growth, metabolism, and homeostasis. Moreover, abnormalities in lipid metabolism attributed to genetic changes among other causes are often associated with diseases such as cancer, arthritis and diabetes. Thus, there is a need to comprehensively understand molecular events occurring within and on membranes as a means of grasping disease etiology and identifying viable targets for drug development. A rapidly expanding field in the last decade has centered on understanding membrane recruitment of peripheral proteins. This class of proteins reversibly interacts with specific lipids in a spatial and temporal fashion in crucial biological processes. Typically, recruitment of peripheral proteins to the different cellular sites is mediated by one or more modular lipid-binding domains through specific lipid recognition. Structural, computational, and experimental studies of these lipid-binding domains have demonstrated how they specifically recognize their cognate lipids and achieve subcellular localization. However, the mechanisms by which these modular domains and their host proteins are recruited to and interact with various cell membranes often vary drastically due to differences in lipid affinity, specificity, penetration as well as protein-protein and intramolecular interactions. As there is still a paucity of predictive data for peripheral protein function, these enzymes are often rigorously studied to characterize their lipid-dependent properties. This review summarizes recent progress in our understanding of how peripheral proteins are recruited to biomembranes and highlights avenues to exploit in drug development targeted at cellular membranes and/or lipid-binding proteins.

Abstract
The Class III PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase), Vps34 (vacuolar protein sorting 34), was first described as a component of the vacuolar sorting system in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and is the sole PI3K in yeast. The homologue in mammalian cells, hVps34, has been studied extensively in the context of endocytic sorting. However, hVps34 also plays an important role in the ability of cells to respond to changes in nutrient conditions. Recent studies have shown that mammalian hVps34 is required for the activation of the mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin)/S6K1 (S6 kinase 1) pathway, which regulates protein synthesis in response to nutrient availability. In both yeast and mammalian cells, Class III PI3Ks are also required for the induction of autophagy during nutrient deprivation. Finally, mammalian hVps34 is itself regulated by nutrients. Thus Class III PI3Ks are implicated in the regulation of both autophagy and, through the mTOR pathway, protein synthesis, and thus contribute to the integration of cellular responses to changing nutritional status.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)) controls a surprisingly large number of processes in cells. Thus, many investigators have suggested that there might be different pools of PIP(2) on the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane. If a significant fraction of PIP(2) is bound electrostatically to unstructured clusters of basic residues on membrane proteins, the PIP(2) diffusion constant, D, should be reduced. We microinjected micelles of Bodipy TMR-PIP(2) into cells, and we measured D on the inner leaflet of fibroblasts and epithelial cells by using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. The average +/- SD value from all cell types was D = 0.8 +/- 0.2 microm(2)/s (n = 218; 25 degrees C). This is threefold lower than the D in blebs formed on Rat1 cells, D = 2.5 +/- 0.8 microm(2)/s (n = 26). It is also significantly lower than the D in the outer leaflet or in giant unilamellar vesicles and the diffusion coefficient for other lipids on the inner leaflet of these cell membranes. The simplest interpretation is that approximately two thirds of the PIP(2) on inner leaflet of these plasma membranes is bound reversibly.

Abstract
Cells require the ability to appropriately respond to signals in their extracellular environment. To initiate, inhibit and control these processes, the cell has developed a complex network of signaling cascades. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways regulate several responses including mitosis, apoptosis, motility, proliferation, differentiation and many others. It is not surprising, therefore, that many viruses target the PI3K and MAPK pathways as a means to manipulate cellular function. Recently, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpes virus (KSHV) has been added to the list. KSHV manipulates the PI3K and MAPK pathways to control such divergent processes as cell survival, cellular migration, immune responses, and to control its own reactivation and lytic replication. Manipulation of the PI3K and MAPK pathways also plays a role in malignant transformation. Here, the authors review the potential to target the PI3K and MAPK signaling pathways to inhibit KSHV infection and pathogenesis.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides serve as important spatio-temporal regulators of intracellular trafficking and cell signalling events. In addition to their recognition by specific phosphoinositide binding domains present within cytoplasmic adaptor proteins or membrane integral channels and transporters phosphoinositides may affect membrane transport by eliciting conformational changes within proteins or by regulating enzymatic activities. During adaptor-mediated membrane traffic phosphoinositides form part of coincidence detection systems that aid in targeting pools of specific phosphoinositides to select intracellular transport pathways. In this review, we discuss potential mechanisms for conferring selectivity onto the phosphoinositide code as well as possible avenues for future research.

Abstract
PH (pleckstrin homology) domains represent the 11th most common domain in the human proteome. They are best known for their ability to bind phosphoinositides with high affinity and specificity, although it is now clear that less than 10% of all PH domains share this property. Cases in which PH domains bind specific phosphoinositides with high affinity are restricted to those phosphoinositides that have a pair of adjacent phosphates in their inositol headgroup. Those that do not [PtdIns3P, PtdIns5P and PtdIns(3,5)P2] are instead recognized by distinct classes of domains including FYVE domains, PX (phox homology) domains, PHD (plant homeodomain) fingers and the recently identified PROPPINs (b-propellers that bind polyphosphoinositides). Of the 90% of PH domains that do not bind strongly and specifically to phosphoinositides, few are well understood. One group of PH domains appears to bind both phosphoinositides (with little specificity) and Arf (ADP-ribosylation factor) family small G-proteins, and are targeted to the Golgi apparatus where both phosphoinositides and the relevant Arfs are both present. Here, the PH domains may function as coincidence detectors. A central challenge in understanding the majority of PH domains is to establish whether the very low affinity phosphoinositide binding reported in many cases has any functional relevance. For PH domains from dynamin and from Dbl family proteins, this weak binding does appear to be functionally important, although its precise mechanistic role is unclear. In many other cases, it is quite likely that alternative binding partners are more relevant, and that the observed PH domain homology represents conservation of structural fold rather than function.
