Abstract
This review focuses on two phospholipase activities involved in eukaryotic signal transduction. The action of the phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C enzymes produces two well-characterized second messengers, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and diacylglycerol. This discussion emphasizes recent advances in elucidation of the mechanisms of regulation and catalysis of the various isoforms of these enzymes. These are especially related to structural information now available for a phospholipase C delta isozyme. Phospholipase D hydrolyzes phospholipids to produce phosphatidic acid and the respective head group. A perspective of selected past studies is related to emerging molecular characterization of purified and cloned phospholipases D. Evidence for various stimulatory agents (two small G protein families, protein kinase C, and phosphoinositides) suggests complex regulatory mechanisms, and some studies suggest a role for this enzyme activity in intracellular membrane traffic.

Abstract
The myristoylated alanine-rich protein kinase C substrate (MARCKS) is a major protein kinase C (PKC) substrate in many different cell types. MARCKS is bound to the plasma membrane, and several recent studies suggest that this binding requires both hydrophobic insertion of its myristate chain into the bilayer and electrostatic interaction of its cluster of basic residues with acidic lipids. Phosphorylation of MARCKS by PKC introduces negative charges into the basic cluster, reducing its electrostatic interaction with acidic lipids and producing translocation of MARCKS from membrane to cytoplasm. The present study shows that physiological concentrations of MARCKS (<10 microM) inhibit phospholipase C (PLC)-catalyzed hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) in phospholipid vesicles. A peptide corresponding to the basic cluster, MARCKS(151-175), produces a similar inhibition, which was observed with both PLC-delta1 and -beta1. Direct fluorescence microscopy observations demonstrate that the MARCKS peptide forms lateral domains enriched in the acidic lipids phosphatidylserine and PIP2 but not PLC, which accounts for the observed inhibition of PIP2 hydrolysis. Phosphorylation of MARCKS(151-175) by PKC releases the inhibition and allows PLC to produce a burst of inositol 1,4, 5-trisphosphate and diacylglycerol.

Abstract
Lipophosphoglycan (LPG), the predominant molecule on the surface of the parasite Leishmania donovani, has previously been shown to be a potent inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC) isolated from rat brain. The mechanism by which LPG inhibits PKC was further investigated in this study. LPG was found to inhibit the PKC alpha-catalyzed phosphorylation of histone in assays using large unilamellar vesicles composed of 1-palmitoyl, 2-oleoyl phosphatidylserine and 1-palmitoyl, 2-oleoyl phosphatidylcholine either with or without 1% 1,2 diolein added. The results also indicated that while PKC binding to sucrose-loaded vesicles was not substantially reduced in the presence of LPG at concentrations of 1-2%, the activity of membrane-bound PKC was inhibited by 70%. This inhibition of the membrane-bound form of PKC is not a consequence of reduced substrate availability to the membrane. However, Km shifted from approximately 31 +/- 4 microM to 105 +/- 26 microM in the presence of 5% LPG. LPG caused PKC to bind to membranes without inducing a conformational change as revealed by the lack of an increased susceptibility to trypsin. An LPG fragment containing only one repeating disaccharide unit was not as effective as the entire LPG molecule or of larger fragments in inhibiting the membrane-bound form of the enzyme. The shorter fragments were also less potent in raising the bilayer to hexagonal phase transition temperature of a model membrane. LPG is also able to inhibit the membrane-bound form of PKC alpha from the inner monolayer of large unilamellar vesicles, the opposite monolayer to which the enzyme binds in our assay. Inhibition is likely a result of alterations in the physical properties of the membrane. To our knowledge, this is the first example of a membrane additive that can inhibit the membrane-bound form of PKC in the presence of other lipid cofactors.

Abstract
The pleckstrin homology (PH) domain is a newly recognized protein module believed to play an important role in signal transduction. While the tertiary structures of several PH domains have been determined, some co-complexed with ligands, the function of this domain remains elusive. In this report, the PH domain located in the N terminus of human phospholipase C-delta1 (PLCdelta1) was found to regulate enzyme activity. The hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol (PI) was stimulated by phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) in a dose-dependent manner with an EC50 = 1 microM (0.3 mol%), up to 9-fold higher when 5 microM (1.5 mol%) of PIP2 was incorporated into the PI/phosphatidylserine (PS)/phosphatidylcholine (PC) vesicles (30 microM of PI with a molar ratio of PI:PS:PC = 1:5:5). Stimulation was specific for PIP2, since other anionic phospholipids including phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate had no stimulatory effect. PIP2-mediated stimulation was, however, inhibited by inositol 1,4, 5-triphosphate (IP3) in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting a modulatory role for this inositol. When a nested set of PH domain deletions up to 70 amino acids from the N terminus of PLCdelta1 were constructed, the deletion mutant enzymes all catalyzed the hydrolysis of the micelle forms of PI and PIP2 with specific activities comparable with those of the wild type enzyme. However, the stimulatory effect of PIP2 was greatly diminished when more than 20 amino acid residues were deleted from the N terminus. To identify the specific residues involved in PIP2-mediated enzyme activation, amino acids with functional side chains between residues 20 and 40 were individually changed to glycine. While all these mutations had little effect on the ability of the enzyme to catalyze the hydrolysis of PI or PIP2 micelles, the catalytic activity of mutants K24G, K30G, K32G, R38G, or W36G was markedly unresponsive to PIP2. Analysis of PIP2-stimulated PI hydrolysis by a dual substrate binding model of catalysis revealed that the micellar dissociation constant (Ks) of PLCdelta1 for the PI/PS/PC vesicles was reduced from 558 microM to 53 microM, and the interfacial Michaelis constant (Km) was reduced from 0.21 to 0.06 by PIP2. The maximum rate of PI hydrolysis (Vmax) was not affected by PIP2. These results demonstrate that a major function of the PH domain of PLCdelta1 is to modulate enzyme activity. Further, our results identify PIP2 as a functional ligand for a PH domain and suggest a general mechanism for the regulation of other proteins by PIP2.

Abstract
Phospholipase C beta2 (PLC beta2) is activated by G protein betagamma subunits and calcium. The enzyme is soluble and its substrate, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), is present in phospholipid membranes. A potential mechanism for regulation of this enzyme is through influencing the equilibrium association of the enzyme with membrane surfaces. In this paper we describe a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) method for measuring the association of PLC beta2 with phospholipid bilayers. The method allows equilibrium measurements to be made under a variety of conditions, including those that support enzymatic activity and ability to be regulated by G proteins. Using this method it was found that PLC beta2 bound to vesicles containing anionic lipids and demonstrated a selective and unique interaction with PIP2-containing vesicles. The FRET data were corroborated with a centrifugation based method for estimating the affinity of PLC beta2 for vesicles. Apparently different modes of association of PLC beta2 with vesicles of different composition can be distinguished based on alterations in resonance energy transfer efficiency. Association of PLC beta2 with PIP2 vesicles requires an intact lipid bilayer, is blocked by neomycin, and is not affected by D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (D-IP3). G protein betagamma subunits do not alter the affinity of PLC beta2 for lipid bilayers and at the PIP2 concentrations used to measure betagamma-dependent stimulation of PLC activity, the majority of the PLC beta2 is already associated with the vesicle surface. Furthermore, under conditions where betagamma subunits strongly activate PLC activity, the extent of association with vesicles is unaffected by betagamma subunits or calcium. These results indicate that activation of PLC beta2 by G protein betagamma subunits or Ca2+ in vitro does not involve translocation to the vesicle surface.

Abstract
Point mutagenesis, phosphatidylinositol (PI), and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) hydrolysis assays and equilibrium centrifugation PIP2 assays were used to study the functional roles of four highly conserved arginine residues in the Y region of human phospholipase C delta1 (PLCdelta1) (Arg-527, -549, -556, -701). Most of the mutant enzymes were either partially defective or fully active in their abilities to catalyze the hydrolysis of PI or PIP2. However, upon substitution of Arg-549 by glycine or histidine, the mutant enzyme was defective in its ability to catalyze the hydrolysis of PIP2, but it is still able to hydrolyze PI. Replacing Arg-549 with lysine had little effect on the level of PI and PIP2 hydrolytic activities of the mutant enzyme. The residual PIP2 hydrolyzing activity of R549H is highly dependent on pH. R549H showed 5-10% of the PIP2-hydrolyzing activity of the native enzyme between pH 5 and 7 and nondetectable PIP2-hydrolyzing activity at pH 8. The PIP2-hydrolyzing activity of R549G was not detectable at all pH values. Kinetic analysis of PLCdelta1-catalyzed PIP2 hydrolysis revealed that the micellar dissociation constant Ks and interfacial Michaelis constant Km were similar in the native, R549K, and R549H enzymes; but the specific activity at the saturated substrate mole fraction and infinite level of substrate (Vmax) of the R549H mutant were reduced by a factor of 15. PIP2 competitively inhibits the native enzyme to hydrolyze PI at both pH 7 and 8. However, PIP2 inhibits R549H only at pH 7.0 and does not inhibit R549G at either pH. Taken together, these results suggest that positive charge at position 549 of PLCdelta1 protein is essential for the enzyme to recognize and catalyze the hydrolysis of PIP2 but not PI.

Abstract
We measured directly the binding of Lys3, Lys5, and Lys7 to vesicles containing acidic phospholipids. When the vesicles contain 33% acidic lipids and the aqueous solution contains 100 mM monovalent salt, the standard Gibbs free energy for the binding of these peptides is 3, 5, and 7 kcal/mol, respectively. The binding energies decrease as the mol% of acidic lipids in the membrane decreases and/or as the salt concentration increases. Several lines of evidence suggest that these hydrophilic peptides do not penetrate the polar headgroup region of the membrane and that the binding is mainly due to electrostatic interactions. To calculate the binding energies from classical electrostatics, we applied the nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann equation to atomic models of the phospholipid bilayers and the basic peptides in aqueous solution. The electrostatic free energy of interaction, which arises from both a long-range coulombic attraction between the positively charged peptide and the negatively charged lipid bilayer, and a short-range Born or image charge repulsion, is a minimum when approximately 2.5 A (i.e., one layer of water) exists between the van der Waals surfaces of the peptide and the lipid bilayer. The calculated molar association constants, K, agree well with the measured values: K is typically about 10-fold smaller than the experimental value (i.e., a difference of about 1.5 kcal/mol in the free energy of binding). The predicted dependence of K (or the binding free energies) on the ionic strength of the solution, the mol% of acidic lipids in the membrane, and the number of basic residues in the peptide agree very well with the experimental measurements. These calculations are relevant to the membrane binding of a number of important proteins that contain clusters of basic residues.

Abstract
Recent evidence has suggested that activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) is required for the activation of Akt-1 by growth factors and insulin. Here we demonstrate by two independent methods that Akt-1 from L6 myotubes binds to PtdIns(3,4,5)P3, PtdIns(3,4)P2 and PtdIns(4,5)P2 when presented against a background of phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) or a 1:1 mixture of PtdSer and phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho). No binding was observed with the lipids PtdIns(3,5)P2, PtdIns4P and PtdIns3P or background lipids. Activated, hyperphosphorylated forms of Akt-1 from insulin-stimulated L6 myotubes bound to PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 in a similar manner as inactive Akt-1. Quantitative analysis using surface plasmon resonance showed that the equilibrium association constant for the binding of Akt-1 to PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 was submicromolar and that PtdIns(3,4)P2 and PtdIns(4,5)P2 bound to Akt-1 with 3- and 6-fold lower affinities respectively. Interaction of Akt-1 with PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 did not activate the protein kinase activity, either before or after incubation with MgATP. A model is presented in which PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 may prime Akt-1 for activation by another protein kinase, perhaps by recruiting it to the plasma membrane.

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
The association of protein kinase C (PKC) with membranes was found not to be specific for phosphatidyl-L-serine (PS). In particular, a synthetic phospholipid, dansyl-phosphatidylethanolamine, proved to be fully functional in the association of PKC with lipid bilayers and in mediating the interaction of this enzyme with diacylglycerol. Dansyl-phosphatidylethanolamine was also able to activate the enzyme in a Ca2+-dependent fashion. Differences in the ability to bind and activate PKC observed for an array of anionic lipids were not larger than alterations caused by changes in acyl chain composition. Thus, although different lipids interact to different extents with PKC, there are no specific binding sites for the PS headgroup on the enzyme. We found that lipids with a greater tendency to form inverted phases increased the binding of PKC to bilayers. However, these changes in lipid structure cannot be considered separately from the miscibility of lipid components in the membrane. For pairs of lipids with similar acyl chains, the dependence on PS concentration is sigmoidal, while for dissimilar acyl chains there is much less dependence of binding on PS concentration. The results can be explained in terms of differences in the lateral distribution of components in the membrane.

Abstract
We have reported that two inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate binding proteins, with molecular masses of 85 and 130 kDa, were purified from rat brain; the former protein was found to be the delta 1-isoenzyme of phospholipase C (PLC-delta 1) and the latter was an unidentified novel protein [Kanematsu, Takeya, Watanabe, Ozaki, Yoshida, Koga, Iwanaga and Hirata (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 6518-6525]. Here we describe the isolation of the full-length cDNA for the 130 kDa Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding protein, which encodes 1096 amino acids. The predicted sequence of the 130 kDa protein had 38.2% homology to that of PLC-delta 1. Three known domains of PLC-delta 1 (pleckstrin homology and putative catalytic X and Y domains) were located at residues 110-222, 377-544 and 585-804 with 35.2%, 48.2% and 45.8% homologies respectively. However, the protein showed no PLC activity to phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol. The 130 kDa protein expressed by transfection in COS-1 cells bound Ins(1,4,5)P3 in the same way as the molecule purified from brain. Thus the 130 kDa protein is a novel Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding protein homologous to PLC-delta 1, but with no catalytic activity. The functional significance of the 130 kDa protein is discussed.

Abstract
The X-ray crystal structure of the high affinity complex between the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain from rat phospholipase C-delta 1 (PLC-delta 1) and inositol-(1,4,5)-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) has been refined to 1.9 A resolution. The domain fold is similar to others of known structure. Ins(1,4,5)P3 binds on the positively charged face of the electrostatically polarized domain, interacting predominantly with the beta 1/beta 2 and beta 3/beta 4 loops. The 4- and 5-phosphate groups of Ins(1,4,5)P3 interact much more extensively than the 1-phosphate. Two amino acids in the PLC-delta 1 PH domain that contact Ins(1,4,5)P3 have counterparts in the Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) PH domain, where mutational changes cause inherited agammaglobulinemia, suggesting a mechanism for loss of function in Btk mutants. Using electrostatics and varying levels of head-group specificity, PH domains may localize and orient signaling proteins, providing a general membrane targeting and regulatory function.

Abstract
The nuclear magnetic resonance structure of the phosphotyrosine binding (PTB) domain of Shc complexed to a phosphopeptide reveals an alternative means of recognizing tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins. Unlike in SH2 domains, the phosphopeptide forms an antiparallel beta-strand with a beta-sheet of the protein, interacts with a hydrophobic pocket through the (pY-5) residue, and adopts a beta-turn. The PTB domain is structurally similar to pleckstrin homology domains (a beta-sandwich capped by an alpha-helix) and binds to acidic phospholipids, suggesting a possible role in membrane localization.

Abstract
A variety of approaches have been employed to demonstrate that the interaction of protein kinase C beta II with phorbol ester-containing membranes is reversible, is not accompanied by significant insertion of the protein into the hydrophobic core of the membrane, and is qualitatively similar to the interaction with diacylglycerol (DG). First, we show that under conditions when protein kinase C is bound with equal affinity to membranes containing either DG or phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), increasing ionic strength causes a similar reduction in membrane binding. The similar sensitivity to ionic strength indicates that the forces mediating the binding of protein kinase C to PMA are not significantly different from those mediating the binding to DG. At sufficiently high concentrations of PMA and relatively low concentrations of phosphatidylserine, the binding of protein kinase C to membranes became markedly less sensitive to ionic strength, suggesting that under these conditions direct non-electrostatic interactions with PMA dominate over electrostatic interactions with the lipid headgroups. Importantly, regardless of the strength of the interaction with PMA, protein kinase C exchanges between vesicle surfaces: protein kinase C bound first to phorbol ester-containing multilamellar vesicles exchanged to large unilamellar vesicles upon addition of an excess surface area of the latter. Lastly, the enzyme's intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence was not quenched by bromines located at various positions in the hydrophobic core of the membrane. In contrast, the enzyme's tryptophan fluorescence was significantly quenched by probes positioned at the membrane surface. In summary, our results are consistent with protein kinase C binding reversibly to PMA- or DG-containing membranes primarily via interactions at the membrane interface.

Abstract
It is known that the phospholipids of the brain cells of fish are altered during cold adaptation. In particular, the 1-monounsaturated 2-polyunsaturated phosphatidylethanolamines (PEs) increase 2- to 3-fold upon adaptation to cold. One of the most striking changes is in the 18:1/22:6 species of PE. We determined how this lipid affected the bilayer-to-hexagonal-phase transition temperature of 16:1/16:1 PE. We found that it was more effective in lowering this transition temperature than were other, less unsaturated, PE species. In addition, it was not simply the presence of the 18:1/22:6 acyl chains which caused this effect, since the 18:1/22:6 species of phosphatidylcholine had the opposite effect on this transition temperature. Zwitterionic substances that lower the bilayer-to-hexagonal-phase transition temperature often cause an increase in the activity of protein kinase C (PKC). Indeed, the 18:1/22:6 PE caused an increase in the rate of histone phosphorylation by PKC which was greater than that caused by other, less unsaturated, PEs. The 18:1/22:6 phosphatidylcholine had no effect on this enzyme. The stimulation of the activity of PKC by the 18:1/22:6 PE is a consequence of this lipid's increasing the partitioning of PKC to the membrane.

Abstract
Fatty acyl-coenzyme A's are temporarily converted into fatty acylcarnitines while transferred across the inner mitochondrial membrane, in their catabolic pathway. In search of an explanation for the need of this coenzyme exchange, the present work describes comparatively the abilities of both kinds of fatty acyl derivatives (represented by palmitoyl-coenzyme A and palmitoylcarnitine) in binding to and perturbing the structure of phosphatidylcholine bilayers in the form of large unilamellar vesicles. Both palmitoyl-coenzyme A and palmitoylcarnitine partition preferentially into the bilayer lipids, so that their free concentration in water is in practice negligible. However, palmitoylcarnitine is able to disrupt the membrane barrier to solutes, leading to vesicle leakage, and, at higher concentrations, it produces complete membrane solubilization, while palmitoyl-coenzyme A produces neither leakage nor solubilization. Palmitoylcarnitine has the properties of many commonly used biochemical detergents. The different behavior of both fatty acyl derivatives helps to explain the need for the transitory coenzyme A/carnitine exchange, and provides a pathogenic mechanism for some genetic defects of mitochondrial fatty acid transport. Other pathophysiological processes in which palmitoylcarnitine has been putatively involved are examined in light of the above results.

Abstract
The pleckstrin homology (PH) domain is a protein module of approximately 100 amino acids that is found in several proteins involved in signal transduction [for a recent review, see Gibson et al. (1994) Trends Biochem. Sci. 19, 349-353]. Although the specific function of the PH domain has not yet been elucidated, many of the proteins which contain this domain associate with phospholipid membranes, and PH domains have been shown to bind to phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) [Harlan et al. (1994) Nature 371, 168-170] and the beta gamma subunits of G-proteins [Touhara et al. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 10217-10220]. We have postulated that pleckstrin homology domains may be important for the translocation of proteins to the membrane by an interaction with the negatively charged head group of phospholipids. Here we show the importance of three conserved lysine residues for binding to PIP2 by site-directed mutagenesis. These results should aid future site-directed mutagenesis studies in probing the function of PIP2-PH domain interactions in the various proteins containing this module. In addition, we examine the specificity of this binding and illustrate the importance of charge--charge interactions in PIP2-PH domain complex formation from binding experiments involving PIP2 analogs.

Abstract
Exposure of adult ventricular myocytes to exogenous natural phosphatidic acid results in the production of inositol phosphates by unknown mechanism(s). We characterized stimulation of myocytic phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) by synthetic dioleoyl phosphatidic acid (PA) as a potential mechanism for modulation of inositol phosphate production. Our data demonstrate that exogenous PA, at 10(-8)-10(-5) M, caused a concentration-dependent increase in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate in adult rabbit ventricular myocytes. PA also caused a concentration-dependent increase in in vitro activity of myocytic PLC in the presence or absence of ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA). PLC-delta 1, the predominant isozyme of PLC expressed in adult rabbit ventricular myocytes, bound to liposomes of PA with high affinity in the presence of EGTA. The phosphomonoester group of PA was critical to in vitro stimulation of myocytic PLC activity and high-affinity binding of PLC-delta 1. We propose that binding of PLC-delta 1 to phosphatidic acid may be a novel mechanism for dynamic membrane association and modulation of PLC in adult ventricular myocytes.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns (4,5)-P2) hydrolysis by three different beta-isoforms of phospholipase C (PLC) was examined to investigate the catalytic action of these extracellular signal-regulated enzymes. Depletion of phospholipase C from solution by incubation with sucrose-loaded vesicles of differing compositions followed by ultracentrifugation demonstrated stable attachment of PLC to the vesicles from which an equilibrium association constant of PLC with PtdIns (4,5)P2 could be determined. A mixed micellar system was established to assay PLC activity using dodecyl maltoside, which behaved as an essentially inert diluent of PtdIns (4,5)P2 with respect to PLC beta activity. Kinetic analyses were performed to test whether PLC beta activity was dependent on both bulk PtdIns (4,5)P2 concentration and surface concentration in the micelles as has been shown for other lipid metabolising enzymes. Each of the PLC beta isoforms behaved similarly in these analyses, which indicated the involvement of at least two binding events. Interfacial Michaelis constants were calculated to be between 0.1-0.2 mol fraction for all three enzymes, and Ks (the equilibrium dissociation constant of PLC for lipid) ranged between 100-200 microM. The apparent multiple interfacial binding events did not appear to result from lipid-induced PLC beta oligomerization implying that PLC beta monomers possess more than one lipid-binding site. Surface dilution of PLC-catalyzed PtdIns (4,5)P2 hydrolysis was assessed in the presence of increasing concentrations of various nonsubstrate phospholipids, which profoundly reduced PLC activity, suggesting that these lipids may inhibit enzyme action. The data indicate that G protein-regulated isoforms of PLC operate with separate lipid binding and catalytic steps and imply that under physiological conditions, PLC beta isoforms operate under first-order conditions. These findings may have implications for the mechanisms of regulation of PLC beta s by G protein subunits.

Abstract
In vitro single point mutagenesis, inositol phospholipid hydrolysis, and substrate protection experiments were used to identify catalytic residues of human phosphatidylinositide-specific phospholipase C delta 1 (PLC delta 1) isolated from a human aorta cDNA library. Invariant amino acid residues containing a functional side chain in the highly conserved X region were changed by in vitro mutagenesis. Most of the mutant enzymes were still able to hydrolyze inositol phospholipid with activity ranging from 10 to 100% of levels in the wild type enzyme. Exceptions were mutants with the conversion of Arg338 to Leu (R338L), Glu341 to Gly (E341G), or His356 to Leu (H356L), which made the enzyme severely defective in hydrolyzing inositol phospholipid. Phospholipid vesicle binding experiments showed that these three cleavage-defective mutant forms of PLC delta 1 could specifically bind to phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) with an affinity similar to that of wild type enzyme. Western blotting analysis of trypsin-treated enzyme-PIP2 complexes revealed that a 67-kDa major protein fragment survived trypsin digestion if the wild type enzyme, E341G, or H356L mutant PLC delta 1 was preincubated with 7.5 microM PIP2, whereas if it was preincubated with 80 microM PIP2, the size of major protein surviving was comparable to that of intact enzyme. However, mutant enzyme R338L was not protected from trypsin degradation by PIP2 binding. These observations suggest that PLC delta 1 can recognize PIP2 through a high affinity and a low affinity binding site and that residues Glu341 and His356 are not involved in either high affinity or low affinity PIP2 binding but rather are essential for the Ca(2+)-dependent cleavage activity of PLC.

Abstract
Several proteins that are important components of the calcium/phospholipid second messenger system (e.g. phospholipase C, protein kinase C, myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS) and pp60src) contain clusters of basic residues that can interact with acidic lipids on the cytoplasmic surface of plasma membranes. We have studied the membrane binding of MARCKS and pp60src, peptides that mimic the basic regions of these proteins, and simple model peptides. Specifically, we determined how the binding of these model peptides depends on (1) the number of basic residues in the peptide (2) the fraction of acidic lipids in the membrane (3) the ionic strength of the solution (4) the chemical nature of the basic residues (Arg versus Lys) and the acidic phospholipids [phosphatidylglycerol (PG) versus phosphatidylserine (PS)] (5) the pressure and (6) the temperature. The results are consistent with a simple theoretical model: each basic residue in a peptide binds independently to an acidic lipid with an intrinsic microscopic association constant of 1-10 M-1 (binding energy congruent to 1 kcal/mol). The binding is described with a mass action formalism and the non-specific electrostatic accumulation of the peptides in the aqueous diffuse double layer is described with the Gouy-Chapman theory. This Gouy-Chapman/mass action model accounts surprisingly well for the sigmoidal dependence of binding on the percentage of acidic lipids in the membrane (apparent co-operativity or Hill coefficient > 1); the model assumes that the multivalent basic peptides bind > 1 acidic lipids and thus induce or stabilize domain formation.

Abstract
Our understanding of the cellular export of a-factor and its interaction with the receptor do not yet allow for a description of the phenomena on a molecular level. Synthesis of a-factor analogs and biophysical studies of the lipopeptides in the presence of artificial membranes provide insights which can be analyzed with respect to the biological potency of the molecules. It is through the study of the interaction of the lipopeptides with membranes at varying levels of complexity that we will be able to develop a molecular description of the biological processes.

Abstract
The pleckstrin homology (PH) domain is a new protein module of around 100 amino acids found in several proteins involved in signal transduction. Although its specific function has yet to be elucidated, the carboxy-terminal regions of many PH domains bind to the beta gamma subunits of G proteins. On the basis of structural similarities between PH domains and lipid-binding proteins, we have proposed that PH domains may be binding to lipophilic molecules. Indeed, many of the proteins that contain this domain associate with phospholipid membranes, and disruption of this domain can interfere with membrane association. Here we report that PH domains bind to phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate and show that the lipid-binding site is located at the lip of the beta-barrel. This suggests that PH domains may be important for membrane localization of proteins through interactions with phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate.

Abstract
Several groups have observed that phosphorylation causes the MARCKS (Myristoylated Alanine-Rich C Kinase Substrate) protein to move off cell membranes and phospholipid vesicles. Our working hypothesis is that significant membrane binding of MARCKS requires both hydrophobic insertion of the N-terminal myristate into the bilayer and electrostatic association of the single cluster of basic residues in the protein with acidic lipids and that phosphorylation reverses this electrostatic association. Membrane binding measurements with myristoylated peptides and phospholipid vesicles show this hydrophobic moiety could, at best, barely attach proteins to plasma membranes. We report here membrane binding measurements with basic peptides that correspond to the phosphorylation domains of MARCKS and neuromodulin. Binding of these peptides increases sigmoidally with the percent acidic lipid in the phospholipid vesicle and can be described by a Gouy-Chapman/mass action theory that explains how electrostatics and reduction of dimensionality produce apparent cooperativity. The electrostatic affinity of the MARCKS peptide for membranes containing 10% acidic phospholipids (10(4) M-1 = chi/[P], where chi is the mole ratio of peptide bound to the outer monolayer of the vesicles and [P] is the concentration of peptide in the aqueous phase) is the same as the hydrophobic affinity of the myristate moiety for bilayer membranes. Phosphorylation decreases the affinity of the MARCKS peptide for membranes containing 15% acidic lipid about 1000-fold and produces a rapid (t1/2 < 30 s) dissociation of the peptide from phospholipid vesicles.

Abstract
Retroviral Gag proteins are targeted to the plasma membrane, where they play the central role in virion formation. Several studies have suggested that the membrane-binding signal is contained within the amino-terminal matrix sequence; however, the precise location has never been determined for the Gag protein of any retrovirus. In this report, we show that the first 31 residues of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 Gag protein can function independently as a membrane-targeting domain when fused to heterologous proteins. A bipartite membrane-targeting motif was identified, consisting of the myristylated N-terminal 14 amino acids and a highly basic region that binds acidic phospholipids. Replacement of the N-terminal membrane-targeting domain of pp60v-src with that of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 Gag elicits efficient membrane binding and a transforming phenotype. Removal of myristate or the basic region results in decreased membrane binding of Gag-Src chimeras in vitro and impaired virion formation by Pr55gag in vivo. We propose that the N-terminal Gag sequence functions as a targeting signal to direct interaction with acidic phospholipids on the cytoplasmic leaflet of the plasma membrane.

Abstract
A peptide corresponding to a basic consensus amino acid motif present in both actin-binding proteins and phosphoinositide-specific phospholipases C was synthesized and its effect on the activity of a recombinant phospholipase C-beta 2 (PLC beta 2) expressed in baculovirus-infected insect cells was studied. The peptide markedly and specifically stimulated the activity of the enzyme. This stimulatory effect required a particular primary and/or secondary structure of the peptide and occurred without lowering the affinity of the enzyme for Ca2+. The function of the PLC beta 2 segment corresponding to the peptide might be to bind and offer the substrate to the catalytic domain of this enzyme in a more favorable configuration or, alternatively, to interact with a hypothetical inhibitory constraint.
