Abstract
Multiple repeats of membrane occupation and recognition nexus (MORN) motifs were detected in plant phosphatidylinositl monophosphate kinase (PIPK), a key enzyme in PI-signaling pathway. Structural analysis indicates that all the MORN motifs (with varied numbers at ranges of 7-9), which shared high homologies to those of animal ones, were located at N-terminus and sequentially arranged, except those of OsPIPK1 and AtPIPK7, in which the last MORN motif was separated others by an approximately 100 amino-acid "island" region, revealing the presence of two kinds of MORN arrangements in plant PIPKs. Through employing a yeast-based SMET (sequence of membrane-targeting) system, the MORN motifs were shown being able to target the fusion proteins to cell plasma membrane, which were further confirmed by expression of fused MORN-GFP proteins. Further detailed analysis via deletion studies indicated the MORN motifs in OsPIPK1, together with the 104 amino-acid "island" region are involved in the regulation of differential subcellular localization, i.e. plasma membrane or nucleus, of the fused proteins. Fat Western blot analysis of the recombinant MORN polypeptide, expressed in Escherichia coli, showed that MORN motifs could strongly bind to PA and relatively slightly to PI4P and PI(4,5)P2. These results provide informative hints on mechanisms of subcellular localization, as well as regulation of substrate binding, of plant PIPKs.

Abstract
Aminoglycoside antibiotics strongly bind to phosphoinositides and affect their membrane distribution and metabolism. Kanamycin treatment also disrupts Rac/Rho signaling pathways to the actin cytoskeleton in the mouse inner ear in vivo. Here, we investigate the influence of kanamycin on phosphoinositide signaling in sensory cells (hair cells) of the mouse cochlea. Immunoreactivity to phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3) decreased in the organ of Corti, especially in outer hair cells, after 3-7 days of drug treatment, whereas imunoreactivity to phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) increased. Immunoreactivity to PIP2 was present at the apical poles of outer hair cells, but appeared in their nuclei only after drug treatment. Furthermore, nuclear PIP2 formed a complex with histone H3 and attenuated its acetylation in outer hair cells. In agreement with reduced PIP3 signaling, phosphorylated Akt decreased in both the cytoplasm and nuclei of outer hair cells after kanamycin treatment. This study suggests that kanamycin disturbs the balance between PIP2 and PIP3, modifies gene transcription via histone acetylation and diminishes the PI3K/Akt survival pathway. These actions may contribute to the death of outer hair cells, which is a consequence of chronic kanamycin treatment.

Abstract
The plant homeodomain (PHD) zinc finger is one of 14 known zinc-binding domains. PHD domains have been found in more than 400 eukaryotic proteins and are characterized by a Cys(4)-His-Cys(3) zinc-binding motif that spans 50-80 residues. The precise function of PHD domains is currently unknown; however, the PHD domains of the ING1 and ING2 tumor suppressors have been shown recently to bind phosphoinositides (PIs). We have recently identified a novel PHD-containing protein, Pf1, as a binding partner for the abundant and ubiquitous transcriptional corepressor mSin3A. Pf1 contains two PHD zinc fingers, PHD1 and PHD2, and functions to bridge mSin3A to the TLE1 corepressor. Here, we show that PHD1, but not PHD2, binds several monophosporylated PIs but most strongly to PI(3)P. Surprisingly, a polybasic region that follows the PHD1 is necessary for PI(3)P binding. Furthermore, this polybasic region binds specifically to PI(3)P when fused to maltose-binding protein, PHD2, or as an isolated peptide, demonstrating that it is sufficient for specific PI binding. By exchanging the polybasic regions between different PHD fingers we show that this region is a strong determinant of PI binding specificity. These findings establish the Pf1 polybasic region as a phosphoinositide-binding module and suggest that the PHD domains function down-stream of phosphoinositide signaling triggered by the interaction between polybasic regions and phosphoinositides.

Abstract
Phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) is a phosphatidylinositol phosphate phosphatase and is frequently inactivated in human cancers. The balance between phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and PTEN determines PI(3,4,5)P3 levels. PI3K is regulated by a variety of intracellular and extracellular signals, but little is known about the regulation of PTEN. In this article, we review control of PTEN function by phosphorylation as well as by binding of lipid and protein partners.

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

Abstract
Anti-phosphopeptide antibodies were raised against phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase (PI4K92) phosphorylation sites (Suer, S., Sickmann, A., Meyer, H. E., Herberg, F. W., and Heilmeyer, L. M. Jr. (2001) Eur. J. Biochem. 268, 2099-2106). Characterization proved three of them (anti-pSer-294, anti-pSer-496, and anti-pThr-504 antibody) to be highly specific, recognizing solely PI4K92 phosphorylated at these sites, respectively. Indirect immunofluorescence reveals that PI4K92 phosphorylated on Ser-294 localizes exclusively at the Golgi. The enzyme phosphorylated on Ser-496 and Thr-504 is detected in nuclear speckles. Phosphorylation of Ser-294 on PI4K92 increases the lipid kinase activity and thus serves better in maintaining Golgi function and morphology (compare Hausser, A., Storz, P., Martens, S., Link, G., Toker, A., and Pfizenmaier, K. (2005) Nat. Cell Biol. 7, 880-886). Microinjection of anti-pSer-496, but not of anti-pSer-294 or anti-pThr-504 antibody, into the cytoplasm or into the nucleus of HS68 cells leads to development of hotspots, probably representing aggregated PI4K92, and in later stages, cells become apoptotic and finally die. The association of phosphorylated PI4K92 with nuclear speckles is dynamic and follows the morphological alteration of speckles upon inhibition of mRNA transcription with alpha-amanitin. Overexpressed PI4K92 phosphorylated on Ser-294 is not transported to the nucleus, and that phosphorylated on Ser-496 is found in the nucleus and mislocalized at the Golgi complex. We conclude that nuclear phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate, and consequently, synthesis of polyphosphoinositides are required for a correct nuclear function.

Abstract
Inositide signaling pathways represent a multifaceted ensemble of cellular switches capable of regulating a number of processes, for example, intracellular calcium release, membrane trafficking, chemotaxis, ion channel activity and several nuclear functions. Over 30 inositide messengers are found in eukaryotic cells that may be grouped into two classes: (1) inositol lipids, phosphatidylinositols or phosphoinositides (PIPs) and (2) water-soluble inositol polyphosphates (IPs). This review will focus on inositol polyphosphate kinases (IPK) and inositol pyrophosphate synthases (IPS) responsible for the cellular production of IP(4), IP(5) IP(6) and PP-IPs. Of interest, IPK and IPS proteins localize, in part, within the nucleus and their activities are necessary for proper regulation of gene expression, mRNA export, DNA repair and telomere maintenance. The breadth of nuclear processes regulated and the evolutionary conservation of the genes involved in their synthesis have sparked renewed interest in inositide messengers derived from sequential phosphorylation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate.

Abstract
Over the last years, evidence has suggested that phosphoinositides, which are involved in the regulation of a large variety of cellular processes both in the cytoplasm and in the plasma membrane, are present also within the nucleus. A number of advances has resulted in the discovery that phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C signalling in the nucleus is involved in cell growth and differentiation. Remarkably, the nuclear inositide metabolism is regulated independently from that present elsewhere in the cell. Even though nuclear inositol lipids hydrolysis generates second messengers such as diacylglycerol and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, it is becoming increasingly clear that in the nucleus polyphosphoinositides may act by themselves to influence pre-mRNA splicing and chromatin structure. Among phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C, the beta(1) isoform appears to be one of the key players of the nuclear lipid signaling. This review aims at highlighting the most significant and up-dated findings about phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C beta(1) in the nucleus.

Abstract
There exists phosphoinositide (PI) cycle in the nucleus, which is operated differentially from the classical PI cycle at the plasma membrane. Evidence has been accumulated that nuclear PIs and the related enzymes are closely involved in a variety of nuclear processes, although the details remain to be elucidated. In this mini review, some components of PI cycle, i.e., diacylglycerol, phosphatidic acid, and the converting enzyme, diacylglycerol kinase, in the nucleus are discussed with focusing on the lipid metabolism, cell cycle regulation, and animal models.

Abstract
We have found 5 profilin cDNAs in cultured parsley cells, representing a small gene family of about 5 members in parsley. Specific antibodies were produced using heterologously expressed parsley profilin as antigen. Western blot analysis revealed the occurrence of similar amounts of profilin in roots and green parts of parsley plants. Immunocytochemical staining of parsley cells infected with the oomycetous plant pathogen Phytophthora infestans clearly revealed that profilin accumulates at the site on the plasma membrane subtending the oomycetous appressorium, where the actin cables focus. We also observed the accumulation of Rop GTPases around this site, which might point to a potential function in signaling to the cytoskeleton.

Abstract
β-Actin, once thought to be an exclusively cytoplasmic protein, is now known to have important functions within the nucleus. Nuclear β-actin associates with and functions in chromatin remodeling complexes, ribonucleic acid polymerase complexes, and at least some ribonucleoproteins. Proteins involved in regulating actin polymerization are also found in the interphase nucleus. We define the dynamic properties of nuclear actin molecules using fluorescence recovery after photobleaching. Our results indicate that actin and actin-containing complexes are reduced in their mobility through the nucleoplasm diffusing at ∼0.5 μm2 s−1. We also observed that ∼20% of the total nuclear actin pool has properties of polymeric actin that turns over rapidly. This pool could be detected in endogenous nuclear actin by using fluorescent polymeric actin binding proteins and was sensitive to drugs that alter actin polymerization. Our results validate previous reports of polymeric forms of nuclear actin observed in fixed specimens and reveal that these polymeric forms are very dynamic.

Abstract
Over the last decades, evidence has accumulated suggesting that there is a distinct nuclear phosphatidylinositol pathway. One of the best examined nuclear lipid pathways is the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI4,5P(2)) by PLC resulting in activation of nuclear PKC and production of inositol polyphosphates. However, there is a growing number of data that phosphoinositides are not only precursor for soluble inositol phosphates and diacylglycerol, instead they can act as second messengers themselves. They have been implicated to play a role in different important nuclear signaling events such as cell cycle progression, apoptosis, chromatin remodeling, transcriptional regulation and mRNA processing. This review focuses on the role of specifically PI4,5P(2) in the nucleus as a second messenger as well as a precursor for PI3,4,5P3, inositol polyphosphates and diacylglycerol.

Abstract
The presence of inositol phospholipids in the nuclei of mammalian cells has by now been well established, as has the presence of the enzymes responsible for their metabolism. However, our understanding of the role of these nuclear phosphoinositides in regulating cellular events has lagged far behind that for its cytosolic counterpart. It is clear, though, that the nuclear phosphoinositide pool is independent of the cytosolic pool and is, therefore, likely to be regulating a unique set of cellular events. As with its cytosolic phosphoinositides, many nuclear phosphoinositides and their metabolic enzymes are located at distinct sub-cellular structures. This arrangement spatially limits the production and activity of inositol phospholipids and is believed to be a major mechanism for regulating their function. Here, we will introduce the components of nuclear inositol phospholipid signal transduction and discuss how their spatial arrangement may dictate which nuclear functions they are modulating.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous immunohistochemical investigations could not detect PI4K230, an isoform of mammalian phosphatidylinositol 4-kinases (also called type III alpha), in the nucleus and nucleolus of cells in spite of its predicted nuclear localization signals. METHODS Immunofluorescent detection of PI4K230 and other PI4K isoforms was performed on formaldehyde (PFA) or ethanol fixed cells and rat brain cryosections. Costaining with nucleolin and the effect of siRNA, Triton X-100, DNase, and RNase treatments were also tested to determine the localization of PI4K230. RESULTS PI4K230 gives a prominent signal in the nucleolus of ethanol fixed rat brain cryosections and of several cell types in addition to its presence in the nucleus and cytoplasm. The PI4K230 immunoreactivity of the nucleolus is masked in PFA fixed cells, but it can be restored by treatment of PFA fixed cells with hot wet citrate buffer or by washing the cryosections with PBS prior to PFA fixation. Nucleolar PI4K230 occurs in a Triton X-100 resistant complex. Treatment of COS-7 cells with siRNA targeting PI4K230 and permeabilized B50 cells with DNase or RNase results in the loss of PI4K230 signal from the nucleolus. CONCLUSION These experiments suggest the participation of PI4K230 in a DNase and RNase sensitive complex with a unique localization and function in the nucleolus.

Abstract
Diacylglycerol kinases (DGKs) attenuate diacylglycerol signaling by converting this lipid to phosphatidic acid (PA). The nine mammalian DGKs that have been identified are widely expressed, but each isoform has a unique tissue and subcellular distribution. Their kinase activity is regulated by mechanisms that modify their access to diacylglycerol, directly affect their kinase activity, or alter their ability to bind to other proteins. In many cases, these enzymes regulate the activity of proteins that are modulated by either diacylglycerol or PA. Experiments using cultured cells and model organisms have demonstrated that DGKs have prominent roles in neuronal transmission, lymphocyte signaling, and carcinogenesis.

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

Abstract
PI 3-kinase enhancer (PIKE) is a nuclear GTPase that enhances PI 3-kinase (PI3K) activity. Nerve growth factor (NGF) treatment leads to PIKE activation by triggering the nuclear translocation of PLC-gamma1, which acts as a physiological guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for PIKE. PI3K occurs in the nuclei of a broad range of cell types, and various stimuli elicit PI3K nuclear translocation. While cytoplasmic PI3K has been well characterized, little is known about the biological function of nuclear PI3K. Surprisingly, nuclei from 30 min NGF-treated PC12 cells are resistant to DNA fragmentation initiated by the activated cell-free apoptosome, and both PIKE and nuclear PI3K are sufficient and necessary for this effect. Moreover, pretreatment of the control nucleus with PI(3,4,5)P3 alone mimics the anti-apoptotic activity of NGF by selectively preventing apoptosis, for which nuclear Akt is required but not sufficient. Recently, a nuclear PI(3,4,5)P3 receptor, nucleophosmin/B23, has been identified from NGF-treated PC12 nuclear extract. PI(3,4,5)P3/B23 complex mediates the anti-apoptotic effects of NGF by inhibiting DNA fragmentation activity of caspase-activated DNase (CAD). Thus, PI(3,4,5)P3/B23 complex and nuclear Akt effectors might coordinately mediate PIKE/nuclear PI3K signaling in promoting cell survival by NGF.

Abstract
Although an established regulator of many cellular functions, the phosphoinositide phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2) appears to have evaded the attention of drug-discovery companies. An increasing number of reports have identified potential links between PtdIns(4,5)P2-mediated signalling pathways and the aetiology of many human diseases. Here, we review current knowledge of the regulation and function of PtdIns(4,5)P2 and discuss how aberrant PtdIns(4,5)P2-mediated signalling might contribute to human pathologies such as cardiac failure, bipolar disorder, channelopathies and the genetic disorder Lowe syndrome.

Abstract
The ING genes encode a family of at least seven proteins with conserved plant homeodomain (PHD)-type zinc fingers in their C-termini. The founding member, ING1, is capable of binding to and affecting the activity of histone acetyltransferase (HAT), histone deacetylase (HDAC), and factor acetyltransferase (FAT) protein complexes. Some ING proteins are involved in transcriptional regulation of genes, such as the p53-inducible genes p21 and Bax. Others have been found to affect post-translational modifications, exemplified by the ING2-induced acetylation of p53 on the same site deacetylated by the Sir2 HDAC. Upon UV irradiation, ING1 causes cell cycle arrest and interacts with proliferating cell nuclear antigen to promote DNA repair or induce apoptosis in cells to prevent tumorigenesis depending upon the severity of DNA damage. It is very likely that, by linking DNA repair, apoptosis and chromatin remodeling to the transcriptional regulation of critical genes, ING1 exerts it tumor suppressor functions by helping maintain genomic stability. Therefore, ING proteins, which are down-regulated in a broad variety of cancer types, are able to restrict cell growth and proliferation, induce apoptosis, and modulate cell cycle progression, which strongly supports the notion that ING family proteins act as class II tumor suppressors.

Abstract
The tumor suppressor gene PTEN is a phosphoinositide phosphatase that is inactivated by deletion and/or mutation in diverse human tumors. Wild-type PTEN is expressed both in the cytoplasm and nucleus in normal cells, with a preferential nuclear localization in differentiated or resting cells. To elucidate the relationship between PTEN's subcellular localization and its biologic activities, we constructed different PTEN mutants that targeted PTEN protein into different subcellular compartments. Our data show that the subcellular localization patterns of a PTEN (deltaPDZB) mutant versus a G129R phosphatase mutant were indistinguishable from those of wild-type PTEN. In contrast, the Myr-PTEN mutant demonstrated an enhanced association with the cell membrane. We found that nuclear PTEN alone is capable of suppressing anchorage-independent growth and facilitating G1 arrest in U251MG cells without inhibiting Akt activity. Nuclear compartment-specific PTEN-induced growth suppression is dependent on possessing a functional lipid phosphatase domain. In addition, the down-regulation of p70S6K could be mediated, at least in part, through activation of AMP-activated protein kinase in an Akt-independent fashion. Introduction of a constitutively active mutant of Akt, Akt-DD, only partially rescues nuclear PTEN-mediated growth suppression. Our collective results provide the first direct evidence that PTEN can contribute to G1 growth arrest through an Akt-independent signaling pathway.

Abstract
PDZ (Postsynaptic density protein, Disc large, Zona occludens) domains are protein-protein interaction modules that predominate in submembranous scaffolding proteins. Recently, we showed that the PDZ domains of syntenin-1 also interact with phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) and that this interaction controls the recruitment of the protein to the plasma membrane. Here we evaluate the general importance of PIP2-PDZ domain interactions. We report that most PDZ proteins bind weakly to PIP2, but that syntenin-2, the closest homolog of syntenin-1, binds with high affinity to PIP2 via its PDZ domains. Surprisingly, these domains target syntenin-2 to nuclear PIP2 pools, in nuclear speckles and nucleoli. Targeting to these sites is abolished by treatments known to affect these PIP2 pools. Mutational and domain-swapping experiments indicate that high-affinity binding to PIP2 requires both PDZ domains of syntenin-2, but that its first PDZ domain contains the nuclear PIP2 targeting determinants. Depletion of syntenin-2 disrupts the nuclear speckles-PIP2 pattern and affects cell survival and cell division. These findings show that PIP2-PDZ domain interactions can directly contribute to subnuclear assembly processes.

Abstract
Nuclear phosphoinositides, especially phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, fluctuate throughout the cell cycle and are linked to proliferation and differentiation. Here we report that phospholipase C-delta(1) accumulates in the nucleus at the G(1)/S boundary and in G(0) phases of the cell cycle. Furthermore, as wild-type protein accumulated in the nucleus, nuclear phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate levels were elevated 3-5-fold, whereas total levels were decreased compared with asynchronous cultures. To test whether phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate binding is important during this process, we introduced a R40D point mutation within the pleckstrin homology domain of phospholipase C-delta(1), which disables high affinity phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate binding, and found that nuclear translocation was significantly reduced at G(1)/S and in G(0). These results demonstrate a cell cycle-dependent compartmentalization of phospholipase C-delta(1) and support the idea that relative levels of phosphoinositides modulate the portioning of phosphoinositide-binding proteins between the nucleus and other compartments.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) plays an important role during actin polymerization and is produced by the type I phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinases (PIP5KI), which are activated by phosphatidic acid (PA). As diacylglycerol kinases (DGKs) generate PA by phosphorylating diacylglycerol (DAG), we investigated whether DGKs were involved in controlling PIP2 levels by regulating PIP5KI activity. Here we show that expression of DGKzeta significantly enhances PIP5KIalpha activity in thrombin-stimulated HEK293 cells, and DGK activity is required for this stimulation. We also observed that DGKzeta co-immunoprecipitated and co-localized with PIP5KIalpha, suggesting that they reside in a regulated signaling complex. To explore the role of DGKzeta in actin polymerization, we examined the subcellular distribution of DGKzeta, PIP5KIalpha and actin, and found that these proteins co-localized with actin in lamellipodial protrusions. Supporting that PIP5KIalpha regulation occurs at the sites of actin polymerization, we found that PIP2 also accumulated in the actin-rich regions of lamellipodia. Significantly, in wounding assays, DGKzeta, PIP5KIalpha and PIP2 accumulated at the leading edge of migrating A172 cells, where massive actin polymerization is known to occur. Combined, these data support a novel function for DGKzeta: by generating PA, it stimulates PIP5KIalpha activity to increase local PIP2, which regulates actin polymerization.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-triphosphate [PI(3,4,5)P(3)] is an essential second messenger implicated in various cellular processes. Cytoplasmic PI(3,4,5)P(3) has been well characterized, but little is known about the physiological role of nuclear PI(3,4,5)P(3). Here, we describe a nuclear PI(3,4,5)P(3) receptor, nucleophosmin (NPM)/B23, that mediates the antiapoptotic effects of NGF by inhibiting DNA fragmentation activity of caspase-activated DNase (CAD). Employing PI(3,4,5)P(3) column and NGF-treated PC12 nuclear extracts, we identified B23 as a nuclear PI(3,4,5)P(3) binding protein. Purification from nuclear extract demonstrates that B23 contributes to DNA fragmentation inhibitory activity. Depletion of B23 from nuclear extracts or knockdown B23 in PC12 cells abolishes NGF-provoked protective effect, whereas overexpression of B23 in PC12 cells prevents apoptosis. Further, hydrolyzing PI(3,4,5)P(3) with PTEN or SHIP abrogates its antiapoptotic activity. Moreover, B23 mutants that can not associate with PI(3,4,5)P(3) fail to prevent DNA fragmentation. Thus, the nuclear B23-PI(3,4,5)P(3) complex regulates the antiapoptotic activity of NGF in the nucleus.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) is a minor component of the lipid bilayer but plays an important role in various cellular functions, including exocytosis and endocytosis. Recently, PI(4,5)P2 was shown to form microdomains in the plasma membrane. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the spatial organization of PI(4,5)P2 microdomains and exocytotic machineries in clonal rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells. Both PI(4,5)P2 and syntaxin, a soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor protein essential for exocytosis, exhibited punctate clusters in isolated plasma membranes. The number of PI(4,5)P2 microdomains colocalizing with syntaxin clusters and large dense core vesicles (LDCVs) was decreased after catecholamine release. Alternatively, the expression of type I phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase (PIP5KI) increased the number of PI(4,5)P2 microdomains at syntaxin clusters with docked LDCVs and enhanced exocytotic activity, possibly by increasing the number of release sites. About half of the PI(4,5)P2 microdomains were not colocalized with Thy-1, a specific marker of lipid rafts, and the colocalization of transfected PIP5KI with syntaxin clusters was observed. These results suggest that the formation of PI(4,5)P2 microdomains at syntaxin clusters with docked LDCVs is essential for Ca2+-dependent exocytosis.

Abstract
Previous evidence from independent laboratories has shown that the nucleus contains diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) isoforms, i.e., the enzymes, which yield phosphatidic acid from diacylglycerol, thus terminating protein kinase C-mediated signaling events. A DGK isoform, which resides in the nucleus of PC12 cells, is DGK-theta. Here, we show that nerve growth factor (NGF) treatment of serum-starved PC12 cells results in the stimulation of both a cytoplasmic and a nuclear DGK activity. However, time course analysis shows that cytoplasmic DGK activity peaked earlier than its nuclear counterpart. While nuclear DGK activity was dramatically down-regulated by a monoclonal antibody known for selectively inhibiting DGK-theta, cytoplasmic DGK activity was not. Moreover, nuclear DGK activity was stimulated by phosphatidylserine, an anionic phospholipid that had no effect on cytoplasmic DGK activity. Upon NGF stimulation, the amount and the activity of DGK-theta, which was bound to the insoluble nuclear matrix fraction, substantially increased. Epidermal growth factor up-regulated a nuclear DGK activity insensitive to anti-DGK-theta monoclonal antibody. Overall, our findings identify nuclear DGK-theta as a down-stream target of NGF signaling in PC12 cells.

Abstract
The products of trithorax group (trxG) genes maintain active transcription of many important developmental regulatory genes, including homeotic genes. Several trxG proteins have been shown to act in multimeric protein complexes that modify chromatin structure. ASH2, the product of the Drosophila trxG gene absent, small, or homeotic discs 2 (ash2) is a component of a 500-kD complex. In this article, we provide biochemical evidence that ASH2 binds directly to Skittles (SKTL), a predicted phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase, and genetic evidence that the association of these proteins is functionally significant. We also show that histone H1 hyperphosphorylation is dramatically increased in both ash2 and sktl mutant polytene chromosomes. These results suggest that ASH2 maintains active transcription by binding a producer of nuclear phosphoinositides and downregulating histone H1 hyperphosphorylation.

Abstract
The phosphatidylinositol (PI) metabolic pathway is considered critical in plant responses to many environmental factors, and previous studies have indicated the involvement of multiple PI-related gene families during cellular responses. Through a detailed analysis of the Arabidopsis thaliana genome, 82 polypeptides were identified as being involved in PI signaling. These could be grouped into different families including PI synthases (PIS), PI-phosphate kinases (PIPK), phospholipases (PL), inositol polyphosphate phosphatases (IPPase), inositol polyphosphate kinases (IPK), PI transfer proteins and putative inositol polyphosphate receptors. The presence of more than 10 isoforms of PIPK, PLC, PLD and IPPase suggested that these genes might be differentially expressed during plant cellular responses or growth and development. Accordingly, DNA chip technology was employed to study the expression patterns of various isoforms. In total, 79 mRNA clones were amplified and used for DNA chip generation. Expression profile analysis was performed using samples that represented multiple tissues or cellular responses. Tested samples included normal leaf, stem and flower tissues, and leaves from plants treated with various hormones (auxin, cytokinin, gibberellin, abscisic acid and brassinosteroid) or environmental factors (temperature, calcium, sodium, drought, salicylic acid and jasmonic acid). Results showed that many PI pathway-related genes were differentially expressed under these experimental conditions. In particular, the different isoforms of each family were specifically expressed in many cases, suggesting their involvement in tissue specificity and cellular responses to environmental conditions. This work provides a starting point for functional studies of the relevant PI-related proteins and may help shed light onto the role of PI pathways in development and cellular responses.

Abstract
Just at the beginning of the millennium the neologism laminopathies has been introduced in the scientific vocabulary. An exponential increase of interest on the subject started concomitantly, so that a formerly quite neglected group of rare human diseases is now widely investigated. This review will cover the history of the identification of the molecular basis for fourteen (since now) hereditary diseases arising from defects in genes that encode nuclear envelope and nuclear lamina-associated proteins and will also consider the hypotheses that can account for the role of structural nuclear proteins in the pathogenesis of diseases affecting a wide spectrum of tissues.

Abstract
PtdInsPs are critical signaling molecules that regulate diverse cellular functions. One method to study PtdInsP biology involves using synthetic PtdInsP analogs to activate endogenous PtdInsP-mediated events in living cells. Such methodology has been successfully employed to explore the role of several PtdInsP-biological outcomes in the cytoplasm. However, this strategy has not previously been used to examine the function of PtdInsPs in the nucleus of live cells, primarily because there has not been a well-defined PtdInsP-binding protein to provide functional nuclear readouts. Here we have shown that synthetic PtdIns(5)P analogs access and function in the nucleus. We have found that these molecules modify the sub-nuclear localization of PHD finger-containing proteins in live cells and in real time. This work demonstrates that synthetic PtdInsPs and PtdInsP derivatives may be powerful tools for probing nuclear PtdInsP functions. Finally, our work supports a model that endogenous PtdInsPs regulate sub-nuclear localization and function of endogenous nuclear PtdInsP-binding proteins.

Abstract
Despite much evidence for phosphatidylinositol phosphate (PIP)-triggered signaling pathways in the nucleus, there is little understanding of how the levels and activities of these proteins are regulated. As a first step to elucidating this problem, we determined whether phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) enters the nucleus by passive diffusion or active transport. We expressed various PTEN fusion proteins in tsBN2, HeLa, LNCaP, and U87MG cells and determined that the largest PTEN fusion proteins showed little or no nuclear localization. Because diffusion through nuclear pores is limited to proteins of 60,000 Da or less, this suggests that nuclear translocation of PTEN occurs via diffusion. We examined PTEN mutants, seeking to identify a nuclear localization signal (NLS) for PTEN. Mutation of K13 and R14 decreased nuclear localization, but these amino acids do not appear to be part of an NLS. We used fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) to demonstrate that GFP-PTEN can passively pass through nuclear pores. Diffusion in the cytoplasm is retarded for the PTEN mutants that show reduced nuclear localization. We conclude that PTEN enters the nucleus by diffusion. In addition, sequestration of PTEN in the cytoplasm likely limits PTEN nuclear translocation.

Abstract
Adipocyte differentiation is controlled by complex actions involving gene expression and signal transduction. From metaphase to anaphase, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ, the CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein family and sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1 are known to function as master regulators. However, the mechanism underlying the earliest step, which triggers the initiation of differentiation, remains unknown. In previous reports, we have isolated a number of genes, whose expression increases in the early stage of differentiation in the mouse 3T3-L1 preadipocyte cell line. Here we report the cloning of the full-length cDNA and characterization of an unknown gene isolated previously and named fad24 (factor for adipocyte differentiation 24). Fad24 encodes a protein consisting of 807 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence was shown to have a basic leucine zipper motif and a NOC domain. Expression of fad24 was rapidly induced after stimulation with inducers. Furthermore, overexpression of fad24 in NIH-3T3 cells promoted adipogenesis in the presence of a ligand for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ. FAD24 localizes in the nucleus, especially within nuclear speckles. As the nuclear speckle functions as a nascent transcription and pre-mRNA splicing machinery, there is a possibility that FAD24 functions as one of the components for transcription and/or pre-mRNA splicing and positively regulates adipocyte differentiation.

Abstract
The transcripts of most metazoan protein-coding genes are alternatively spliced, but the mechanisms that are involved in the control of splicing are not well understood. Recent evidence supports the potential of both extra- and intracellular signalling to the splicing machinery as a means of regulating gene expression, and indicates that this form of gene control is widespread and mechanistically complex. However, important questions about these pathways need to be answered before this method of post-transcriptional regulation can be fully appreciated.

Abstract
PI 3-kinase (PI3K) occurs in the nuclei of a broad range of cell types, and various stimuli elicit PI3K nuclear translocation. However, little is known about the biological function of nuclear PI3K. Here we show that nuclear PI3K and its upstream regulator PIKE mediate the antiapoptotic activity of nerve growth factor (NGF) in the isolated nuclei. The nuclei from NGF-treated PC12 cells, EGF-treated HEK293 cells and HeLa cells are resistant to DNA fragmentation initiated by activated cell-free apoptosome. Nuclei from constitutively active PI3K adenovirus-infected cells display the same resistance as those treated by NGF, whereas PI3K inhibitors, dominant-negative PI3K or PIKE abolishes it. Knockdown of either PI3K or PIKE diminishes the antiapoptotic activity of NGF. PI (3,4,5)P3 alone mimics the antiapoptotic activity of NGF, for which nuclear Akt is required. These results demonstrate that PIKE/nuclear PI3K signaling through nuclear PI (3,4,5)P3 and Akt plays an essential role in promoting cell survival.

Abstract
Production of inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) by Ipk1, the inositol-1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate 2-kinase, is required for Gle1-mediated mRNA export in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells. To examine the network of interactions that require IP6 production, an analysis of fitness defects was conducted in mutants harboring both an ipk1 null allele and a mutant allele in genes encoding nucleoporins or transport factors. Enhanced lethality was observed with a specific subset of mutants, including nup42, nup116, nup159, dbp5, and gle2, all of which had been previously connected to Gle1 function. Complementation of the nup116Deltaipk1Delta and nup42Deltaipk1Delta double mutants did not require the Phe-Gly repeat domains in the respective nucleoporins, suggesting that IP6 was acting subsequent to heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein targeting to the nuclear pore complex. With Nup42 and Nup159 localized exclusively to the nuclear pore complex cytoplasmic side, we speculated that IP6 may regulate a cytoplasmic step in mRNA export. To test this prediction, the spatial requirements for the production of IP6 were investigated. Restriction of Ipk1 to the cytoplasm did not block IP6 production. Moreover, coincident sequestering of both Ipk1 and Mss4 (an enzyme required for phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate production) to the cytoplasm also did not block IP6 production. Given that the kinase required for inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate production (Ipk2) is localized in the nucleus, these results indicated that soluble inositides were diffusing between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Additionally, the cytoplasmic production of IP6 by plasma membrane-anchored Ipk1 rescued a gle1-2 ipk1-4 synthetic lethal mutant. Thus, cytoplasmic IP6 production is sufficient for mediating the Gle1-mRNA export pathway.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the spatio-temporal distribution of conventional protein kinases C (cPKC) isoforms PKC-alpha, PKC-betaI, PKC-betaII and PKC-gamma in mouse oocytes. The cPKCs were present in the cytoplasm at the start of the process and migrated to the nucleus (or germinal vesicle) before germinal vesicle breakdown, except for PKC-gamma which remained cytoplasmic. In both compartments, the fully phosphorylated form corresponding to the 'mature' enzyme was revealed for PKC-alpha, PKC-betaI and PKC-betaII. Microinjection of specific antibodies against each isozyme in one or the other cell compartment at different times of the meiotic process, permitted us to observe the following: (1) When located in the cytoplasm at the beginning of the process, PKC-alpha is not implicated in germinal vesicle breakdown, PKC-betaI and PKC-gamma are involved in maintaining the meiotic arrest, and PKC-betaII plays a role in meiosis reinitiation. Furthermore, just before germinal vesicle breakdown, these cytoplasmic cPKCs were no longer implicated. (2) When located in the germinal vesicle, PKC-alpha, PKC-betaI and PKC-betaII are involved in meiosis reinitiation. Our data highlight not only the importance of the nuclear pathways in the cell cycle progression, but also their independence of the cytoplasmic ones. Further investigations are however necessary to discover the molecular targets of these cPKCs to better understand the links with the cell cycle progression.

Abstract
Type I phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI(4)P) 5-kinases (PIP5Ks) catalyze the synthesis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P(2)), an essential lipid molecule involved in various cellular processes such as regulation of actin cytoskeleton and membrane traffic. The protein localizes to the plasma membrane where its activity has been shown to be regulated by small GTPase ARFs and/or phosphatidic acid. Deletion analysis of amino- or carboxy-terminal sequences of PIP5Kgamma fused with EGFP demonstrated that the presence of central kinase homology domain (KHD), a 380 amino acid-long region highly conserved among PIP5K family, was necessary and sufficient for the plasma membrane localization of PIP5Kgamma. Particularly, the dibasic Arg-Lys sequence located at the carboxy-terminal end of KHD was shown to be crucial for the plasma membrane targeting of PIP5Kgamma, since the deletion or charge-reversal mutation of this dibasic sequence resulted in the mislocalization of the protein to the cytoplasm. Mislocalized mutants also failed to complement the temperature-sensitive growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae mss4-1 mutant defective in PIP5K function. The presence of dibasic residues at the C-terminal end of KHD was conserved among mammalian as well as invertebrate PIP5K family members, but not in the type II PIPKs that are not targeted to the plasma membrane, suggesting that the conserved dibasic motif provides a mechanism essential for the proper localization and cellular function of PIP5Ks.

Abstract
The inositol lipid and phosphate binding properties and the cellular localization of phospholipase Cdelta(4) (PLCdelta(4)) and its isolated pleckstrin homology (PH) domain were analyzed in comparison with the similar features of the PLCdelta(1) protein. The isolated PH domains of both proteins showed plasma membrane localization when expressed in the form of a green fluorescent protein fusion construct in various cells, although a significantly lower proportion of the PLCdelta(4) PH domain was membrane-bound than in the case of PLCdelta(1)PH-GFP. Both PH domains selectively recognized phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P(2)), but a lower binding of PLCdelta(4)PH to lipid vesicles containing PI(4,5)P(2) was observed. Also, higher concentrations of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P(3)) were required to displace the PLCdelta(4)PH from the lipid vesicles, and a lower Ins(1,4,5)P(3) affinity of PLCdelta(4)PH was found in direct Ins(1,4,5)P(3) binding assays. In sharp contrast to the localization of its PH domain, the full-length PLCdelta(4) protein localized primarily to intracellular membranes mostly to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). This ER localization was in striking contrast to the well documented PH domain-dependent plasma membrane localization of PLCdelta(1). A truncated PLCdelta(4) protein lacking the entire PH domain still showed the same ER localization as the full-length protein, indicating that the PH domain is not a critical determinant of the localization of this protein. Most important, the full-length PLCdelta(4) enzyme still showed binding to PI(4,5)P(2)-containing micelles, but Ins(1,4,5)P(3) was significantly less potent in displacing the enzyme from the lipid than with the PLCdelta(1) protein. These data suggest that although structurally related, PLCdelta(1) and PLCdelta(4) are probably differentially regulated in distinct cellular compartments by PI(4,5)P(2) and that the PH domain of PLCdelta(4) does not act as a localization signal.

Abstract
Dynamic regulation of chromatin structure is thought to be a prerequisite for nuclear functions that require accessibility to DNA such as replication, transcription and DNA repair. The phosphoinositide (PI) pathway is a second messenger signalling system regulated in response to a variety of extracellular (growth factors, differentiation signals) and intracellular (cell cycle progression, DNA damage) stimuli. The presence of a PI pathway in the nucleus together with the recent findings that specific nuclear proteins can interact with and are regulated by phosphoinositides suggest that changes in the nuclear phosphoinositide profile may have a direct role in modulating chromatin structure.

Abstract
The interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor promotes T cell proliferation in part by inducing the expression of D-type cyclins, which enable cells to progress from the G1 to S phase of the cell cycle. We previously showed that the IL-2 receptor induces expression of cyclin D2 by activating the transcription factor Stat5, which binds directly and immediately to a site upstream of the cyclin D2 promoter. We show here that subsequent transcription of the cyclin D2 gene occurs by a delayed, cycloheximide-sensitive mechanism, which implies the involvement of additional regulatory mechanisms. The transcription factor c-Myc is induced by Stat5 and is reported to bind to two E box motifs in the cyclin D2 promoter. However, in IL-2-stimulated T cells, c-Myc does not appear to be involved in cyclin D2 induction, since we found that these two E boxes are preferentially bound by USF-1 and USF-2 and, moreover, are dispensable for cyclin D2 promoter activity. Instead, we found that Stat5 activates the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3 kinase) pathway by a delayed, cycloheximide-sensitive mechanism and that PI3 kinase activity is essential for the induction of cyclin D2 by Stat5. Chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments revealed that PI3 kinase is required for the optimal binding of RNA polymerase II to the promoters of cyclin D2 as well as other genes. Our results reveal a novel link between PI3 kinase and RNA polymerase II promoter binding activity and demonstrate discrete, coordinated roles for the PI3 kinase and Stat5 pathways in cyclin D2 transcription.

Abstract
Strong evidence has been accumulating over the last 15 years suggesting that phosphoinositides, which are involved in the regulation of a large variety of cellular processes in the cytoplasm and in the plasma membrane, are present within the nucleus. Several advances have resulted in the discovery that nuclear phosphoinositides are involved in cell growth and differentiation. Remarkably, the nuclear inositide metabolism is regulated independently from that present elsewhere in the cell. Although nuclear inositol lipids generate second messengers such as diacylglycerol and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, it is becoming increasingly clear that in the nucleus polyphosphoinositides may act by themselves to influence pre-mRNA splicing and chromatin structure. This review aims at highlighting the most significant and updated findings about inositol lipid metabolism in the nucleus.

Abstract
A rice gene, OsPIPK 1, encoding a 792-aa putative phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase (PIPK), was identified and characterized. Comparison between the cDNA and genomic sequences revealed the presence of 10 exons (39-1050 bp) and 9 introns (88-745 bp) in OsPIPK 1 gene. The deduced amino acid sequence of OsPIPK1 contains a lipid kinase domain that is highly homologous to those of previously isolated PIPKs, and structural analysis revealed the intriguing presence of multiple MORN motifs at the N-terminus. The MORN motifs have also been detected in PIPKs from Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa, but not in the well-characterized PIPKs from animal and yeast cells. RT-PCR analysis indicated that OsPIPK 1 was expressed almost constitutively in roots, shoots, stems, leaves and flowers, and up-regulated following treatment with plant hormones or application of various stresses. An antisense transgenic strategy was used to suppress the expression of OsPIPK 1, and homozygous transgenic plants showed earlier heading (7-14 days earlier) than control plants, suggesting that OsPIPK 1 negatively regulates floral initiation. This was further confirmed by morphologic observation showing earlier floral development in antisense plants, as well as leaf emergence measurement indicating delayed leaf development under OsPIPK 1 deficiency, a common phenotype observed with earlier flowering. RT-PCR analysis and cDNA chip technology were used to examine transcripts of various genes in the transgenic plants and the results showed altered transcriptions of several flowering-time or -identity related genes, suggesting that OsPIPK 1 is involved in rice heading through regulation of floral induction genes, signaling and metabolic pathways.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides are minor components of biological membranes, which have emerged as essential regulators of a variety of cellular processes, both on the plasma membrane and on several intracellular organelles. The versatility of these lipids stems from their ability to function either as substrates for the generation of second messengers, as membrane-anchoring sites for cytosolic proteins or as regulators of the actin cytoskeleton. Despite a vast literature demonstrating the presence of phosphoinositides in the nucleus, only recently has the function(s) of the nuclear pool of these lipids and their soluble analogues, inositol polyphosphates, started to emerge. These compounds have been shown to serve as essential co-factors for several nuclear processes, including DNA repair, transcription regulation and RNA dynamics. In this light, phosphoinositides and inositol polyphosphates might represent high turnover activity switches for nuclear complexes responsible for these processes. The regulation of these large machineries would be linked to the phosphorylation state of the inositol ring and limited temporally and spatially based on the synthesis and degradation of these molecules.

Recently, the control of phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3)-dependant signaling by phosphatases has emerged, but there is a shortage of information on intranuclear PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 phosphatases. Therefore, we investigated the dephosphorylation of [32P]PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 specifically labeled on the D-3 position of the inositol ring in membrane-free nuclei isolated from pig aorta vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). In vitro PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 phosphatase assays revealed the production of both [32P]PtdIns(3,4)P2 and inorganic phosphate, demonstrating the presence of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 5- and 3-phosphatase activities inside the VSMC nucleus, respectively. Both activities presented the same potency in cellular lysates, whereas the nuclear PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 5-phosphatase activity appeared to be the most efficient. Immunoblot experiments showed for the first time the expression of the 5-phosphatase SHIP-2 (src homology 2 domain-containing inositol phosphatase) as well as the 3-phosphatase PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10) in VSMC nuclei. In addition, immunoprecipitations from nuclear fractions indicated a [32P]PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 dephosphorylation by both SHIP-2 and PTEN. Moreover, confocal microscopy analyses demonstrated that SHIP-2 but not PTEN colocalized with a speckle-specific component, the SC35 splicing factor. These results suggest that SHIP-2 may be the primary enzyme for metabolizing PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 into PtdIns(3,4)P2 within the nucleus, thus producing another second messenger, whereas PTEN could down-regulate nuclear phosphoinositide 3-kinase signaling. Finally, intranuclear PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 phosphatases might be involved in the control of VSMC proliferation and the pathogenesis of vascular proliferative disorders.
