Abstract
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptors have been reported to signal via caveolin-containing membranes called caveolae. In contrast, others report that EGF and PDGF receptors are exclusively associated with caveolin-devoid membranes called rafts. Our subcellular fractionation and coimmunoprecipitation studies demonstrate that, in the absence of ligand, EGF and PDGF receptors are associated with rafts. However, in the presence of ligand, EGF and PDGF receptors transiently associate with caveolae. Surprisingly, pretreatment of cells with EGF prevents PDGF-dependent phosphorylation of PDGF receptors and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 kinase activation. Furthermore, cells pretreated with PDGF prevent EGF-dependent phosphorylation of EGF receptors and ERK1/2 kinase activation. Radioligand binding studies demonstrate that incubation of cells with EGF or PDGF causes both EGF and PDGF receptors to be reversibly sequestered from the extracellular space. Experiments with methyl-beta-cyclodextrin, filipin, and antisense caveolin-1 demonstrate that sequestration of the receptors is dependent on cholesterol and caveolin-1. We conclude that ligand-induced stimulation of EGF or PDGF receptors can cause the heterologous desensitization of the other receptor by sequestration in cholesterol-rich, caveolin-containing membranes or caveolae.

Abstract
The agonist-induced internalization of several G protein-coupled receptors is an obligatory requirement for their activation of MAPKs. Studies on the relationship between endocytosis of the angiotensin II (Ang II) type 1 receptor (AT1-R) and Ang II-induced ERK1/2 activation were performed in clone 9 (C9) rat hepatic cells treated with inhibitors of endocytosis [sucrose, phenylarsine oxide (PAO), and concanavalin A]. Although Ang II-induced endocytosis of the AT1-R was prevented by sucrose and PAO, and was partially inhibited by concanavalin A, there was no impairment of Ang II-induced ERK activation. However, the specific epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) kinase inhibitor, AG1478, abolished Ang II-induced activation of ERK1/2. Sucrose and PAO also inhibited EGFinduced internalization of the EGF-R in C9 cells, and the inability of these agents to impair EGF-induced ERK activation suggested that the latter is also independent of receptor endocytosis. In COS-7 cells transiently expressing the rat AT1A-R, Ang II also caused ERK activation through EGF-R transactivation. Furthermore, a mutant AT1A-R with truncated carboxyl terminus and impaired internalization retained full ability to activate ERK1/2 in response to Ang II stimulation. These findings demonstrate that Ang II-induced ERK1/2 activation in C9 hepatocytes is independent of both AT1-R and EGF-R endocytosis and is mediated by transactivation of the EGF-R.

Abstract
Lipid rafts are specialized cholesterol-enriched membrane domains that participate in cellular signaling processes. Caveolae are related domains that become invaginated due to the presence of the structural protein, caveolin-1. In this paper, we use electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI/MS) to quantitatively compare the phospholipids present in plasma membranes and nondetergent lipid rafts from caveolin-1-expressing and nonexpressing cells. Lipid rafts are enriched in cholesterol and sphingomyelin as compared to the plasma membrane fraction. Expression of caveolin-1 increases the amount of cholesterol recovered in the lipid raft fraction but does not affect the relative proportions of the various phospholipid classes. Surprisingly, ESI/MS demonstrated that lipid rafts are enriched in plasmenylethanolamines, particularly those containing arachidonic acid. While the total content of anionic phospholipids was similar in plasma membranes and nondetergent lipid rafts, the latter were highly enriched in phosphatidylserine but relatively depleted in phosphatidylinositol. Detergent-resistant membranes made from the same cells showed a higher cholesterol content than nondetergent lipid rafts but were depleted in anionic phospholipids. In addition, these detergent-resistant membranes were not enriched in arachidonic acid-containing ethanolamine plasmalogens. These data provide insight into the structure of lipid rafts and identify potential new roles for these domains in signal transduction.

Abstract
An analytical solution is obtained for the steady-state reaction rate of an intracellular enzyme, recruited to the plasma membrane by active receptors, acting upon a membrane-associated substrate. Influenced by physical and chemical effects, such interactions are encountered in numerous signal-transduction pathways. The generalized modeling framework is the first to combine reaction and diffusion limitations in enzyme action, the finite mean lifetime of receptor-enzyme complexes, reactions in the bulk membrane, and constitutive and receptor-mediated substrate insertion. The theory is compared with other analytical and numerical approaches, and it is used to model two different signaling pathway types. For two-state mechanisms, such as activation of the Ras GTPase, the diffusion-limited activation rate constant increases with enhanced substrate inactivation, dissociation of receptor-enzyme complexes, or crowding of neighboring complexes. The latter effect is only significant when nearly all of the substrate is in the activated state. For regulated supply and turnover pathways, such as phospholipase C-mediated lipid hydrolysis, an additional influence is receptor-mediated substrate delivery. When substrate consumption is rapid, this process significantly enhances the effective enzymatic rate constant, regardless of whether enzyme action is diffusion limited. Under these conditions, however, enhanced substrate delivery can result in a decrease in the average substrate concentration.

Abstract
Addition of a small amount of ganglioside GM(1) to phosphatidylserine (PS) liposomes, a gradual increase of protein kinase C (PKC) activity was recorded up to about 2 mol% GM(1) where the maximal enzyme activity was obtained. Then the activity of PKC began to decline and even turned to be inhibited with the further increase of GM(1) content. It was also indicated that GM(1)/PS binary liposomes had the highest membrane fluidity and very low spatial density of lipid headgroups which was demonstrated in the MC-540 studies due to the interposition of GM(1) when the liposomes contained about 2 mol% GM(1). Besides, the liposomes containing about 2 mol% GM(1) provided a more hydrophobic environment for PKC than the liposomes containing less or more GM(1) which was indicated in the Acrylodan experiments. These factors commonly induced PKC to be stimulated maximally. Whether at the lower or higher GM(1) content, the membrane structure was not the most suitable to support the activity of PKC, which declined as a consequence.

Abstract
ErbB-4 is a receptor tyrosine kinase that is activated by the binding of specific growth factors to its ectodomain. In addition to the initiation of signal transduction pathways that direct cell responses, such as proliferation or differentiation, this receptor is subject to ligand-dependent trafficking events. The signal transduction events are controlled by ligand-dependent activation of the receptor tyrosine kinase activity, which results in receptor autophosphorylation and the tyrosine phosphorylation of other cellular proteins. The trafficking events include migration into and out of membrane microdomains, entry into internalization pathways and endocytosis, plus proteolytic fragmentation.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) stimulates an increase in alpha(V)beta(3) ligand binding. Stimulation of smooth muscle cells by IGF-I requires alpha(V)beta(3) ligand occupancy, and enhanced alpha(V)beta(3) ligand occupancy augments IGF-I actions. Therefore, IGF-I-induced changes in alpha(V)beta(3) ligand binding may act to further enhance IGF-I actions. Integrin-associated protein (IAP) has been shown to be associated with alpha(V)beta(3) and is required for the binding of alpha(V)beta(3) to vitronectin-coated beads. We therefore investigated whether IGF-I could stimulate IAP-alpha(V)beta(3) association resulting in enhanced ligand binding. IGF-I stimulated an increase in IAP-alpha(V)beta(3) association. This was due, at least in part, to an IGF-I-stimulated redistribution of IAP from the Triton-insoluble fraction of the cell to the Triton-soluble fraction of the cell, where most of the alpha(V)beta(3) was located. Inhibition of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway blocked both the redistribution of IAP and the increase in IAP-alpha(V)beta(3) association, providing further evidence that the redistribution of IAP is essential for the increase in association. An anti-IAP monoclonal antibody, blocked both the IGF-I-stimulated increase in IAP-alpha(V)beta(3) complex formation and cell migration. IGF-I-stimulated translocation of IAP and increase in IAP-alpha(V)beta(3) association represent an important process by which IGF-I modulates alpha(V)beta(3) ligand binding and cellular responses.

Abstract
Physically distinguishable microdomains associated with various functional membrane proteins are one of the major current topics in cell biology. Glycosphingolipids present in such microdomains have been used as "markers;" however, the functional role of glycosyl epitopes in microdomains has received little attention. In this review, I have tried to summarize the evidence that glycosyl epitopes in microdomains mediate cell adhesion and signal transduction events that affect cellular phenotypes. Molecular assemblies that perform such functions are hereby termed "glycosynapse" in analogy to "immunological synapse," the membrane assembly of immunocyte adhesion and signaling. Three types of glycosynapses are so far distinguishable: (i) Glycosphingolipids organized with cytoplasmic signal transducers and proteolipid tetraspanin with or without growth factor receptors; (ii) transmembrane mucin-type glycoproteins with clustered O-linked glycoepitopes for cell adhesion and associated signal transducers at lipid domain; and (iii) N-glycosylated transmembrane adhesion receptors complexed with tetraspanin and gangliosides, as typically seen with the integrin-tetraspanin-ganglioside complex. The possibility is discussed that glycosynapses give rise to a high degree of diversity and complexity of phenotypes.

Abstract
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and HER-2/ErbB2 are members of the Erb family of signaling receptors. ErbB2 is overexpressed in many different cancers and has been linked to enhanced malignancy of tumors. We have examined the cellular translocation of Raf-1 during EGF-dependent signal transduction in two breast tumor cell lines, BT20 and SKBR3. Treatment of BT-20 breast cancer cells, which express EGFR, with EGF resulted in rapid (5 minutes) accumulation of EGFR and Raf-1 into plasma membrane-associated endocytotic vesicles. However, at later time points (30 minutes) only EGFR was endocytosed and Raf-1 dissociated from the plasma membrane and was found in the cytosol. In SKBR3 breast cancer cells, which express high levels of EGFR and ErbB2, treatment with EGF also resulted in rapid accumulation of EGFR and Raf-1 into endocytotic vesicles, but EGFR endocytosis was inhibited and Raf-1 remained associated with the plasma membrane for a prolonged period. The role of ErbB2 in the retention of Raf-1 at the plasma membrane was confirmed in BT-20 cells transfected with ErbB2. BT-20 cells expressing ErbB2 and treated with EGF retained Raf-1 at the plasma membrane for prolonged periods, whereas Raf-1 rapidly dissociated from the plasma membrane in EGF-stimulated cells transfected with a control vector. The presence of Raf-1 at the plasma membrane correlated with activation of Raf-1 and MAP kinase. Cells that expressed ErbB2 and treated with EGF showed prolonged activation of Raf-1 and MAP kinase compared with cells that expressed low levels of ErbB2. These results suggest that expression of ErbB2 promoted retention of Raf-1 in the plasma membrane, resulting in prolonged activation of the MAP kinase cascade, which may contribute to enhanced malignancy in ErbB2-expressing cancers.

Abstract
Ras genes, frequently mutated in human tumors, promote malignant transformation. Ras transformation requires membrane anchorage, which is promoted by Ras farnesylcysteine carboxymethylester and by a second signal. Previously we showed that the farnesylcysteine mimetic, farnesylthiosalicylic acid (FTS) disrupts Ras membrane anchorage. To understand how this disruption contributes to inhibition of cell transformation we searched for new Ras-interacting proteins and identified galectin-1, a lectin implicated in human tumors, as a selective binding partner of oncogenic H-Ras(12V). The observed size of H-Ras(12V)-galectin-1 complex, which is equal to the sum of the molecular weights of Ras and galectin-1 indicates a direct binding interaction between the two proteins. FTS disrupted H-Ras(12V)-galectin-1 interactions. Overexpression of galectin-1 increased membrane-associated Ras, Ras-GTP, and active ERK resulting in cell transformation, which was blocked by dominant negative Ras. Galectin-1 antisense RNA inhibited transformation by H-Ras(12V) and abolished membrane anchorage of green fluorescent protein (GFP)-H-Ras(12V) but not of GFP-H-Ras wild-type (wt), GFP-K-Ras(12V), or GFP-N-Ras(13V). H-Ras(12V)-galectin-1 interactions establish an essential link between two proteins associated with cell transformation and human malignancies that can be exploited to selectively target oncogenic Ras proteins.

Abstract
BALB/3T3 cells were transformed by transfection with DNA encoding the mutated ras(Q(61)K) from shrimp Penaeus japonicus (Huang et al., 2000). The GTPase-activating protein (GAP) in the cytosol fraction was significantly expressed and degraded, compared to untransformed cells on the western blot. To understand this in more detail, the interaction of the bacterially expressed shrimp Ras (S-Ras) with GAP was investigated using GAP purified from mouse brains. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed the monomers of the purified GAP to have a relative mass of 65,000. Since the purified GAP was bound to the Ras conjugated affinity sepharose column with high affinity and its GTP hydolysis activity upon binding with tubulin was suppressed, the purified enzyme was concluded to be neurofibromin-like. The purified GAP enhanced the intrinsic GTPase activity of the S-Ras, to convert it into the inactive GDP-bound form, in agreement with findings for GTP-bound K(B)-Ras in vitro. To compare the effects between isoprenoids and GAP on the GTP-hydrolysis of Ras, we applied the GTP-locked shrimp mutant S-Ras(Q(61)K) and GTP-locked rat mutant K(B)-ras(Q(61)K). Radioassay studies showed that geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate at microg level catalyzed the GTP hydrolysis of S-Ras(Q(61)K) and K(B)-ras(Q(61)K) competently, but not farnesyl pyrophosphate or the purified GAP. The present study provides the view that the geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate at carboxyl terminal CAAX assists GTP hydrolysis to Ras proteins probably in a manner similar to the substrate assisted catalysis in GTPase mechanism.

Abstract
Binding of proteins to the plasma membrane can be achieved with various membrane targeting motifs, including combinations of fatty acids, isoprenoids, and basic domains. In this study, we investigate whether attachment of different membrane targeting motifs influences the signaling capacity of membrane-bound signal transduction proteins by directing the proteins to different membrane microdomains. We used c-Raf-1 as a model for a signaling protein that is activated when membrane-bound. Three different membrane targeting motifs from K-Ras, Fyn, and Src proteins were fused to the N or C terminus of Raf-1. The ability of the modified Rafs to initiate MAPK signaling was then investigated. All three modified Raf-1 constructs activated MAPK to nearly equivalent levels. The extent of localization of the Raf-1 constructs to membrane microdomains known as rafts did not correlate with the level of MAPK activation. Moreover, treatment of cells with the raft disrupting drug methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (MbetaCD) caused activation of MAPK to levels equivalent to those achieved with membrane-targeted Raf constructs. The use of pharmacological agents as well as dominant negative mutants revealed that MAPK activation by MbetaCD proceeds via a phosphoinositide 3-kinase-dependent mechanism that is Ras/Raf-independent. We conclude that cholesterol depletion from the plasma membrane by MbetaCD constitutes an alternative pathway for activating MAPK.

Abstract
Recent studies indicate that insulin stimulation of glucose transporter (GLUT)4 translocation requires at least two distinct insulin receptor-mediated signals: one leading to the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3 (PI-3) kinase and the other to the activation of the small GTP binding protein TC10. We now demonstrate that TC10 is processed through the secretory membrane trafficking system and localizes to caveolin-enriched lipid raft microdomains. Although insulin activated the wild-type TC10 protein and a TC10/H-Ras chimera that were targeted to lipid raft microdomains, it was unable to activate a TC10/K-Ras chimera that was directed to the nonlipid raft domains. Similarly, only the lipid raft-localized TC10/ H-Ras chimera inhibited GLUT4 translocation, whereas the TC10/K-Ras chimera showed no significant inhibitory activity. Furthermore, disruption of lipid raft microdomains by expression of a dominant-interfering caveolin 3 mutant (Cav3/DGV) inhibited the insulin stimulation of GLUT4 translocation and TC10 lipid raft localization and activation without affecting PI-3 kinase signaling. These data demonstrate that the insulin stimulation of GLUT4 translocation in adipocytes requires the spatial separation and distinct compartmentalization of the PI-3 kinase and TC10 signaling pathways.

Abstract
Originally described in the 1950s caveolae are morphologically identifiable as small omega-shaped plasma membrane invaginations present in most cell types. Caveolae are particularly abundant in adipocytes, fibroblasts, type 1 pneumocytes, endothelial and epithelial cells as well as in smooth and striated muscle cells. The first proposed function for caveolae was that of mediating the internalisation and transendothelial trafficking of solutes. Caveolae have been the object of intense research since the discovery of a biochemical marker protein, caveolin, in the early 1990s. Three genes encoding for caveolins have been characterised in mammals. Caveolins (18-24 kDa) are integral membrane proteins that constitute the major protein component of caveolar membrane in vivo. In addition to a structural role of caveolins in the formation of caveolae, caveolin protein interacts directly, and in a regulated manner, with a number of signalling molecules. We present here a general overview of the current knowledge on the structural role of caveolin in caveolae formation, and implication of caveolin in the control of cell signalling.

Abstract
Continuous endothelium and epithelium create formidable barriers to endogenous molecules as well as targeted drug and gene therapies in vivo. Caveolae represent a possible vesicular trafficking pathway through cell barriers. Here we discuss recent discoveries regarding the basic function of caveolae in transport including transcellular trafficking, intracellular trafficking to distinct endosomes, and molecular mechanisms mediating their budding, docking and fusion (dynamin and SNARE machinery). New technologies to purify and map caveolae as well as generate new probes selectively targeting caveolae in vivo provide valuable tools not only for investigating caveolar endocytosis/transcytosis but also elucidating new potential applications for site-directed treatment of many diseases. Vascular targeting of the caveolar trafficking pathway may be a useful strategy for achieving tissue-specific pharmacodelivery that also overcomes key, normally restrictive cell barriers which greatly reduce the efficacy of many therapies in vivo.

Abstract
Caveolae can mediate endocytosis, transcytosis, and potocytosis. Our understanding of these processes as well as the elucidation of the molecular machinery involved has greatly expanded. In addition, caveolin, a 22 kDa protein often associated with caveolae, can promote the trafficking of sterol through the cytoplasm independent of vesicles. Caveolin also influences the formation, morphology, and function of caveolae. The ability of caveolae and caveolin to mediate macromolecular transport directly impacts a variety of physiological and pathophysiological processes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Signalling cross talk provides a molecular basis for modulating a given signalling pathway by another, and it is often critical for regulating cellular responses elicited by cytokines. Previously, we reported on the critical role of the IFN-alpha/beta signalling complex, generated by spontaneously produced IFN-alpha/beta, in efficient IFN-gamma signalling. RESULTS In the present study, we have demonstrated that the IFN-alpha/beta signalling complex also contributes to efficient IL-6 signalling. In fact, IL-6-induced activation of the Stat1 and Stat3 transcription factors is markedly diminished in the absence of the IFN-alpha/beta signalling complex. The induction of several target genes for these factors is also diminished, both in vitro and in vivo. We provide evidence that the cytoplasmic tyrosine residues of IFNAR-1, which remains phosphorylated by a weak IFN-alpha/beta stimulation, provide docking sites for Stat1 and Stat3 to form homo- or heterodimers following IL-6 stimulation. Furthermore, a chemical cross-linking experiment revealed that IFNAR-1 and gp130, a common signal transducer for the IL-6 family of cytokines, exist in close proximity. CONCLUSIONS The constitutive weak IFN-alpha/beta signal provides a foundation for strong cellular responses to IL-6, IFN-gamma, and possibly other cytokines. Our results also suggest the assembly of cytokine receptor subunits, which may represent a 'receptosome'-like structure, allowing the unique signalling cross talks to occur.

Abstract
Detergent-free discontinuous sucrose density gradient centrifugation was used to resolve low- and high-density membrane fractions from Xenopus laevis oocytes. Compared to high-density membrane, low-density oocyte membrane is enriched two-fold in cholesterol and highly enriched in ganglioside GM1. Protein immunoblotting of membrane fractions from whole cells with polyclonal anti-human caveolin antibody detected multiple bands, including a distinctive triad with apparent molecular weights of 21, 33, and 48 kDa. To more clearly determine which of these caveolin-like protein(s) is associated with the oocyte plasma membrane, microdissection was used to separate external membrane (cortical preparations containing plasma membrane) from intracellular membrane. Cortical membrane preparations displayed a single 21-kDa caveolin-like protein in low-density membrane. Internal oocyte membrane displayed the higher molecular weight bands of 33 and 48 kDa and a lesser amount of the 21-kDa protein in low-density membrane fractions. Monoclonal anti-human Ras antibody detected a single 23-kDa immunoblot band that is enriched an average of eight-fold in low-density membrane fractions prepared from whole cells. This is the first report of caveolin-associated, low-density membrane in amphibian oocytes, and is consistent with a role for caveolin and caveolae-like microdomains in oocyte signal transduction.

Abstract
Low M(r) phosphotyrosine-protein phosphatase is involved in the regulation of several tyrosine kinase growth factor receptors. The best characterized action of this enzyme is on the signaling pathways activated by platelet-derived growth factor, where it plays multiple roles. In this study we identify tyrosine-phosphorylated caveolin as a new potential substrate for low M(r) phosphotyrosine-protein phosphatase. Caveolin is tyrosine-phosphorylated in vivo by Src kinases, recruits into caveolae, and hence regulates the activities of several proteins involved in cellular signaling cascades. Our results demonstrate that caveolin and low M(r) phosphotyrosine-protein phosphatase coimmunoprecipitate from cell lysates, and that a fraction of the enzyme localizes in caveolae. Furthermore, in a cell line sensitive to insulin, the overexpression of the C12S dominant negative mutant of low M(r) phosphotyrosine-protein phosphatase (a form lacking activity but able to bind substrates) causes the enhancement of tyrosine-phosphorylated caveolin. Insulin stimulation of these cells induces a strong increase of caveolin phosphorylation. The localization of low M(r) phosphotyrosine-protein phosphatase in caveolae, the in vivo interaction between this enzyme and caveolin, and the capacity of this enzyme to rapidly dephosphorylate phosphocaveolin, all indicate that tyrosine-phosphorylated caveolin is a relevant substrate for this phosphatase.

Abstract
Caveolins 1, 2, and 3 are the principal proteins of caveolae, the vesicular invaginations of the plasma membrane. Several reports have suggested that caveolin-1 may have a role in cellular transformation and tumorigenesis. We studied the expression of caveolin-1 and caveolin-2 in normal epithelium, adenoma, and adenocarcinoma of the colon and their possible role in tumorigenesis. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections of 41 cases of adenocarcinoma and 13 cases of adenoma of the colon were stained immunohistochemically with anti-caveolin-1 and anti-caveolin-2 antibodies. The expression of caveolin-1 was elevated in the overwhelming majority of the adenocarcinomas, while most normal colonic epithelium and adenomas showed little or no staining. There was significant statistical correlation of the expression of caveolin-1 with adenocarcinoma but not with tumor stage. Expression of caveolin-2 was undetectable in all of the normal colonic glands, adenomas, and carcinomas. We discuss the possible clinical implications of our findings within the context of caveolins and signal transduction.

Abstract
Sphingomyelinases hydrolyse sphingomyelin to ceramide, a process involved in signal-transduction routes leading to apoptosis and various other cellular responses. In the present study, we investigated the sphingomyelinase content of caveolae, invaginated plasma-membrane microdomains that contain a variety of signalling molecules. These structures are highly enriched in sphingomyelin as well as in ceramide, which suggests that metabolism of these lipids might, to some extent, occur locally. By cell fractionation, we demonstrate that, in addition to a previously reported minute amount of acidic sphingomyelinase activity, a substantial amount of neutral sphingomyelinase activity resides in caveolae of human skin fibroblasts. This caveolar neutral sphingomyelinase activity was also detected in Niemann-Pick disease type A fibroblasts, which are completely devoid of functional acidic sphingomyelinase. Neutral (but not acidic) sphingomyelinase activity was specifically inhibited by a peptide that corresponds to the scaffolding domain of caveolin, which suggests a direct molecular interaction between the two proteins. In addition, this finding implies a cytosolic orientation of the caveolar neutral sphingomyelinase. Interestingly, stimulation of fibroblasts with tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) resulted in a partial shift of its p55 receptor to caveolin-enriched membrane fractions and the appearance of caveolin-sensitive neutral sphingomyelinase activity in the non-caveolar fractions. These results suggest that (part of) the presently identified caveolar neutral sphingomyelinase activity is involved in TNFalpha signalling.

Abstract
The effect of changing the ganglioside composition of Chinese hamster ovary K1 cells on the function of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFr) was examined by studying the signalling pathway generated after the binding of epidermal growth factor (EGF) both in cells depleted of glycosphingolipids by inhibiting glucosylceramide synthase activity and in cell lines expressing different gangliosides as the result of stable transfection of appropriate ganglioside glycosyltransferases. After stimulation with EGF, cells depleted of glycolipids showed EGFr phosphorylation and extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 2 (ERK2) activity as parental cells expressing GM3 [ganglioside nomenclature follows Svennerholm (1963) J. Neurochem. 10, 613-623] or as transfected cells expressing mostly GM2 and GD1a as the result of stable transfection of UDP-GalNAc:LacCer/GM3/GD3 N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase. However, cells stably transfected with CMP-NeuAc:GM3 sialyltransferase and expressing GD3 at the cell surface showed both decreased EGFr phosphorylation and ERK2 activation after stimulation with EGF. Results suggest that changes in the ganglioside composition of cell membranes might be important in the regulation of the EGF signal transduction.

Abstract
The potential role of caveolin-1 in apoptosis remains controversial. Here, we investigate whether caveolin-1 expression is proapoptotic or antiapoptotic using a well-defined antisense approach. We show that NIH/3T3 cells harboring antisense caveolin-1 are resistant to staurosporine-induced apoptosis, as assessed using cell morphology, DNA content, caspase 3 activation, and focal adhesion kinase cleavage. Importantly, sensitivity to apoptosis is recovered when caveolin-1 levels are restored. Conversely, recombinant stable expression of caveolin-1 in T24 bladder carcinoma cells sensitizes these cells to caspase 3 activation. Consistent with the observations using NIH/3T3 cells, downregulation of caveolin-1 in T24 cells substantially diminishes caspase 3-like activity. Loss of sensitivity to apoptotic stimulation is recovered by inhibition of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway using LY-294002, suggesting a possible mechanism for the sensitizing effect of caveolin-1. Thus our results suggest that caveolin-1 may act as a coupling or sensitizing factor in signaling apoptotic cell death in both fibroblastic (NIH/3T3) and epithelial (T24) cells.

Abstract
The major process that regulates the amplitude and kinetics of signal transduction by tyrosine kinase receptors is endocytic removal of active ligand-receptor complexes from the cell surface, and their subsequent sorting to degradation or to recycling. Using the ErbB family of receptor tyrosine kinases we exemplify the diversity of the down regulation process, and concentrate on two sorting steps whose molecular details are emerging. These are the Eps15-mediated sorting to clathrin-coated regions of the plasma membrane and the c-Cbl-mediated targeting of receptors to lysosomal degradation. Like in yeast cells, sorting involves not only protein phosphorylation but also conjugation of ubiquitin molecules. The involvement of other molecules is reviewed and recent observations that challenge the negative regulatory role of endocytosis are described. Finally, we discuss the relevance of receptor down regulation to cancer therapy.

Abstract
The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein CD59 and the ganglioside GM1 are present on lipid rafts that can be isolated in a detergent-insoluble membrane (DIM) fraction. TCR engagement promotes integration of components of the TCR/CD3 signaling machinery into DIM. As DIM are isolated as a heterogeneous mixture of coalescent membranes, it is uncertain whether the cofractionation of GPI-anchored proteins and GM1 reflects the existence of an association between these molecules within the same lipid rafts in the cell. We have studied the surface distribution of the co-stimulatory CD59 and GM1 molecules and their role in the recruitment of components of the TCR signaling machinery in DIM. Although both CD59 and GM1 are present in rafts, these molecules occur in a steady state, mainly clustered in different membrane subdomains. Multimerization of either molecule did not induce cocapping or co-internalization of the other. Aggregation of GM1, CD59 or TCR/CD3 increased tyrosine phosphorylation but only in the latter case was a significant increase observed in both tyrosine phosphorylation and recruitment of elements of the signaling machinery in DIM. Our results show the existence of specific co-stimulatory membrane microdomains that require a direct TCR/CD3 engagement for efficient recruitment of signaling machinery into rafts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Caveolae are plasma membrane invaginations that have a diameter of 40 to 60 nm. Recent evidences have demonstrated that caveolae contain a variety of signal transduction molecules. Caveolin is a marker protein of caveolae and has been proposed to play a negative regulatory role in signal transduction. The aim of this study was to investigate the behavior of caveolae and caveolin in experimental glomerulonephritis, the localization of both platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) receptors in the caveolae membrane, and the regulation of caveolin expression in cultured mesangial cells. METHODS The expression of caveolin-1 was examined by immunoblotting and immunohistology using anti-caveolin antibody in anti-Thy-1 nephritis. The caveolae membrane fraction of mesangial cells was isolated by sucrose gradient method and expression of PDGF receptor and TGF-beta receptor were detected by immunoblotting. The effects of mitogens such as phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and PDGF on the expression of caveolin-1 protein and mRNA were also examined in cultured mesangial cells. RESULTS Caveolin-1 was mainly expressed in glomeruli and was significantly up-regulated in anti-Thy-1 nephritis rat kidney. In cultured mesangial cells, the membrane invaginations of caveolae were revealed by electron microscopy. PDGF receptors abounded in the caveolae membrane and rapidly changed their subcellular distribution after ligand stimulation. In contrast, TGF-beta receptors abounded in the non-caveolae membrane and did not change after ligand stimulation. Decreases in caveolin-1 protein, which were associated with increases in mRNA expression after the exposure of PMA or PDGF-BB, suggested an increased turnover of caveolin-1 in mesangial cells stimulated by mitogens. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this electron microscopical study is the first to demonstrate the presence of caveolae in cultured mesangial cells. Caveolae integrate PDGF receptors, and caveolin-1 may play a role in the pathogenesis of the mesangial proliferative glomerular diseases through PDGF signaling.

Abstract
It is increasingly becoming clear that various immune cells are infected by the very pathogens that they are supposed to attack. Although many mechanisms for microbial entry exist, it appears that a common route of entry shared by certain bacteria, viruses and parasites involves cellular lipid-rich microdomains sometimes called caveolae. These cellular entities, which are characterized by their preferential accumulation of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored molecules, cholesterol and various glycolipids, and a distinct protein (caveolin), are present in many effector cells of the immune system including neutrophils, macrophages, mast cells and dendritic cells. These structures have an innate capacity to endocytoze various ligands and traffic them to different intracellular sites and sometimes, back to the extracellular cell surface. Because caveolae do not typically fuse with lysosomes, the ligands borne by caveolar vesicles are essentially intact, which is in marked contrast to ligands endocytozed via the classical endosome-lysosome pathway. A number of microbes or their exotoxins co-opt the unique features of caveolae to enter and traffic, without any apparent loss of viability and function, to different sites within immune and other host cells. In spite of their wide disparity in size and other structural attributes, we predict that a common feature among caveolae-utilizing pathogens and toxins is that their cognate receptor(s) are localized within plasmalemmal caveolae of the host cell.

Abstract
Lateral association between different transmembrane glycoproteins can serve to modulate integrin function. Here we characterize a physical association between the integrins alpha(3)beta(1) and alpha(6)beta(1) and CD36 on the surface of melanoma cells and show that ectopic expression of CD36 by CD36-negative MV3 melanoma cells increases their haptotactic migration on extracellular matrix components. The association was demonstrated by co-immunoprecipitation, reimmunoprecipitation, and immunoblotting of surface-labeled cells lysed in Brij 96 detergent. Confocal microscopy illustrated the co-association of alpha(3) and CD36 in cell membrane projections and ruffles. A requirement for the extracellular domain of CD36 in this association was shown by co-immunoprecipitation experiments using surface-labeled MV3 melanoma or COS-7 cells that had been transiently transfected with chimeric constructs between CD36 and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) or with a truncation mutant of CD36. CD36 is known to engage in signal transduction and to localize to membrane microdomains or rafts in several cell types. Toward a mechanistic explanation for the functional effects of CD36 expression, we demonstrate that in fractionated Triton X-100 lysates of the MV3 cells stably transfected with CD36, CD36 was greatly enriched with the detergent-insoluble fractions that represent plasma membrane rafts. Significantly, when these fractionated lysates were reprobed for endogenous beta(1) integrin, it was found that a 4-fold increase in the proportion of the mature protein was contained within the detergent-insoluble fractions when extracted from the CD36-transfected cells compared with MV3 cells transfected with vector only. These results suggest that in melanoma cells CD36 expression may induce the sequestration of certain integrins into membrane microdomains and promote cell migration.

Abstract
We examined the notion that sequestration of G protein subunits by binding to caveolin impedes G protein reassociation and leads to transient, G protein-specific desensitization of response in dispersed smooth muscle cells. Cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) and substance P (SP) were used to activate G(q/11), cyclopentyl adenosine (CPA) was used to activate G(i3), and acetylcholine (ACh) was used to activate both G(q/11) and G(i3) via m3 and m2 receptors, respectively. CCK-8 and SP increased only Galpha(q/11), and CPA increased only Galpha(i3) in caveolin immunoprecipitates; caveolin and other G proteins were not increased. ACh increased both Galpha(q/11) and Galpha(i3) in a time- and concentration-dependent fashion: only Galpha(q/11) was increased in the presence of an m2 antagonist, and only Galpha(i3) was increased in the presence of an m3 antagonist. To determine whether transient G protein binding to caveolin affected subsequent responses mediated by the same G protein, PLC-beta activity was measured in cells stimulated sequentially with two different agonists that activate either the same or a different G protein. After treatment of the cells with ACh and an m2 antagonist, the phospholipase C-beta (PLC-beta) response to CCK-8 and SP, but not CPA, was decreased; conversely, after treatment of the cells with ACh and an m3 antagonist, the PLC-beta response to CPA, but not CCK-8 or SP, was decreased. Similarly, after treatment with CCK-8 or SP, the PLC-beta response mediated by G(q/11) only was decreased, whereas after treatment with CPA, the PLC-beta response mediated by G(i3) only was decreased. A caveolin-binding Galpha(q/11) fragment blocked the binding of activated Galpha(q/11) but not Galpha(i3) to caveolin-3 and prevented desensitization of the PLC-beta response mediated only by other G(q/11)-coupled receptors. A caveolin-binding Galpha(i3) fragment had the reverse effect. Thus, transient binding of receptor-activated G protein subunits to caveolin impedes reassociation of the heterotrimeric species and leads to desensitization of response mediated by other receptors coupled to the same G protein.

Abstract
The endocytic compartment of eukaryotic cells is a complex intracellular structure involved in sorting, processing, and degradation of a great variety of internalized molecules. Recently, the uptake through caveolae has emerged as an alternative internalization pathway, which seems to be directly related with some signal transduction pathways. However, the mechanisms, molecules, and structures regulating the transport of caveolin from the cell surface into the endocytic compartment are largely unknown. In this study, normal quiescent fibroblasts (normal rat kidney (NRK)) were used to demonstrate that epidermal growth factor causes partial redistribution of caveolin from the cell surface into a cellubrevin early endocytic compartment. Treatment of NRK cells with cytochalasin D or latrunculin A inhibits this pathway and the concomitant activation of Mek and mitotic-activated protein (MAP) kinase; however, if cells were pre-treated with filipin, cytochalasin D does not inhibit the phosphorylation of MAP kinase induced by epidermal growth factor. From these results we conclude that in NRK cells the intact actin cytoskeleton is necessary for the EGF-mediated transport of caveolin from the cell surface into the early endocytic compartment and the activation of MAP kinase pathway.

The endogenous Ca(2+)-inhibitable adenylyl cyclase type VI of C6-2B glioma cells is regulated only by capacitative Ca(2+) entry and not by a substantial elevation of [Ca(2+)](i) from either intracellular stores or via ionophore-mediated Ca(2+) entry (Chiono, M., Mahey, R., Tate, G., and Cooper, D. M. F. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 1149-1155; Fagan, K. A., Mons, N., and Cooper, D. M. F. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 9297-9305). The present studies explored the role of cholesterol-rich domains in maintaining this functional association. The cholesterol-binding agent, filipin, profoundly inhibited adenylyl cyclase activity. Depletion of plasma membrane cholesterol with methyl-beta-cyclodextrin did not affect forskolin-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity and did not affect capacitative Ca(2+) entry. However, cholesterol depletion completely ablated the regulation of adenylyl cyclase by capacitative Ca(2+) entry. Repletion of cholesterol restored the sensitivity of adenylyl cyclase to capacitative Ca(2+) entry. Adenylyl cyclase catalytic activity and immunoreactivity were extracted into buoyant caveolar fractions with Triton X-100. The presence of adenylyl cyclase in such structures was eliminated by depletion of plasma membrane cholesterol. Altogether, these data lead us to conclude that adenylyl cyclase must occur in cholesterol-rich domains to be susceptible to regulation by capacitative Ca(2+) entry. These findings are the first indication of regulatory significance for the localization of adenylyl cyclase in caveolae.

Abstract
The 'metastasis suppressor' CD82/KAI-1, a member of the tetraspanin superfamily of transmembrane proteins, is widely distributed in normal tissues [1], and has been shown to be suppressed in the advanced stages of various epithelial malignancies [2-6]. Although the physiological relevance of this change is unknown, in vitro data show that ectopically expressed CD82/KAI-1 can suppress tumor cell migration, a process underlying the dissemination of tumor cells in vivo [5]. The function of CD82/KAI-1 is not known and it has been proposed that association of CD82/KAI-1 with other cell-surface proteins may be pivotal in directing its biological activities [7,8]. We show here that the CD82/KAI-1 tetraspanin is directly associated with the EGF receptor (EGFR), and that ectopic expression of CD82/KAI-1 in epithelial cells specifically suppresses EGF-induced lamellipodial extensions and cell migration. In cells expressing CD82/KAI-1, the initial activation of EGFR is not affected, but subsequent desensitization of EGF-induced signaling occurs more rapidly. This attenuation is correlated with an increased rate of receptor endocytosis. These results identify CD82/KAI-1 as a new regulator of EGF-induced signaling and show that the association of EGFR with the tetraspanin is critical in EGFR desensitization.

Abstract
The thyroid transcription factor TTF-2 is a forkhead-containing protein involved in thyroid-specific gene expression and necessary for thyroid morphogenesis. In this paper, we demonstrate that TTF-2 is able to inhibit the activity of the thyroid-specific transcription factors TTF-1 and Pax-8 only on certain promoters. We identified the minimal protein domain responsible for repressor activity, which behaves as an independent functional domain, and we show that repression by TTF-2 is DNA-binding independent. We suggest that TTF-2 is able to interfere with a specific cofactor required for TTF-1 and Pax-8 activity.

Abstract
In PC12 cells, Ha-Ras modulates multiple effector proteins that induce neuronal differentiation. To regulate these pathways Ha-Ras must be located at the plasma membrane, a process normally requiring attachment of farnesyl and palmitate lipids to the C terminus. Ext61L, a constitutively activated and palmitoylated Ha-Ras that lacks a farnesyl group, induced neurites with more actin cytoskeletal changes and lamellipodia than were induced by farnesylated Ha-Ras61L. Ext61L-triggered neurite outgrowth was prevented easily by co-expressing inhibitory Rho, Cdc42, or p21-activated kinase but required increased amounts of inhibitory Rac. Compared with Ha-Ras61L, Ext61L caused 2-fold greater Rac GTP binding and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity in membranes, a hyperactivation that explained the numerous lamellipodia and ineffectiveness of Rac(N17). In contrast, Ext61L activated B-Raf kinase and ERK phosphorylation more poorly than Ha-Ras61L. Thus, accentuated differentiation by Ext61L apparently results from heightened activation of one Ras effector (phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase) and suboptimal activation of another (B-Raf). This surprising unbalanced effector activation, without changes in the designated Ras effector domain, indicates the Ext61L C-terminal alternations are a new way to influence Ha-Ras-effector utilization and suggest a broader role of the lipidated C terminus in Ha-Ras biological functions.

Abstract
In this study, we demonstrate that, in rat liver, epidermal growth factor (EGF) is responsible for the partial redistribution of caveolin-1 from the plasma membrane into the early/sorting endocytic compartment. Highly purified endosomes and plasma membrane fractions were isolated from control rat liver and from rats injected with EGF or pIgA for different times. Whereas in subcellular fractions from control hepatocytes most of caveolin was concentrated in the plasma membrane and the receptor-recycling fractions, after EGF injection there was a significant redistribution of caveolin toward the early/sorting (CURL) endocytic fractions. The recruitment of caveolin into the endocytic compartment was not induced by pIgA.

Abstract
Ligand binding to the EGF receptor initiates both the activation of mitogenic signal transduction pathways plus trafficking events that relocalize the receptor on the cell surface and within intracellular compartments. The trafficking compartments include caveolae, clathrin-coated pits, and various endosome populations prior to receptor degradation in lysosomes. Evidence is presented that distinct signaling pathways are initiated from these different compartments. These include the Ras/MAP kinase cascade and the PLC-dependent hydrolysis of PI-4,5 P(2). Multiple tyrosine kinase substrates that facilitate EGF receptor trafficking between these various compartments, as well as the participation of phosphoinositides and Ras-like G proteins in the trafficking pathway are also described.

Abstract
Our studies on glycosphingolipids (GSLs) were initiated through isolation and structural characterization of lacto-series type 1 and 2 GSLs, and globo-series GSLs. Lacto-series structures included histo-blood group ABH and I/i antigens. Our subsequent studies were focused on GSL changes associated with: (i) ontogenic development and differentiation; (ii) oncogenic transformation and tumor progression. Various novel types of GSLs such as extended globo-series, sialyl-Le(x) (SLe(x)), sialyl-dimeric-Le(x) (SLe(x)-Le(x)), dimeric-Le(x) (Le(x)-Le(x)), Le(y)-on-Le(x), dimeric-Le(a) (Le(a)-Le(a)), Le(b)-on-Le(a), etc. were identified as tumor-associated antigens. These studies provide an essential basis for up- or down-regulation of key glycosyltransferase genes controlling development, differentiation, and oncogenesis. GSL structures established in our laboratory are summarized in Table 1, and structural changes of GSLs associated with ontogenesis and oncogenesis are summarized in Sections 2 and 3. Based on these results, we endeavored to find out the cell biological significance of GSL changes, focused on (i) cell adhesion, e.g., the compaction process of preimplantation embryo in which Le(x)-to-Le(x), Gb4-to-GalGb4 or -nLc4 play major roles; and (ii) modulation of signal transduction through interaction of growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase with ganglioside, e.g., EGF receptor tyrosine kinase with GM3. Recent trends of studies on i and ii lead to the concept that GSL clusters (microdomains) are organized with various signal transducer molecules to form 'glycosignaling domains' (GSD). GSL-dependent adhesion occurs through clustered GSLs, and is coupled with activation of signal transducers (cSrc, Src family kinase, Rho A, etc.). Clustered GSLs involved in cell adhesion are recognized by GSLs on counterpart cells (carbohydrate-to-carbohydrate interaction), or by lectins (e.g., siglecs, selectins). Our major effort in utilization of GSLs in medical science has been for: (i) cancer diagnosis and treatment (vaccine development) based on tumor-associated GSLs and glycoepitopes; (ii) genetically defined phenotype for susceptibility to E. coli infection; (iii) clear identification of physiological E-selectin epitope (myeloglycan) expressed on neutrophils and myelocytes; (iv) characterization of sialyl poly-LacNAc epitopes recognized as male-specific antigens. Utilization of these GSLs or glycoepitopes in development of anti-adhesion approach to prevent tumor metastasis, infection, inflammation, or fertilization (i.e., contraceptive) is discussed. For each approach, development of mimetics of key GSLs or glycoepitopes is an important subject of future study.

Abstract
The effect of oncostatin M (OM) on epidermal growth factor (EGF)-mediated protein tyrosine phosphorylation in an infiltrating ductal breast carcinoma cell line, H3922, was investigated by Western blot analysis. Pretreatment of H3922 cells with OM for 72 h suppressed EGF-stimulated protein tyrosine phosphorylation signals by 77%. Interestingly, pretreatment with OM for 6 or 48 h had little effect on these signals. EGF-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of EGF receptor (EGFR) was suppressed by 55% in 72-h OM pretreated H3922 cells. No reduction in EGFR protein expression was detected in these cells. Flow cytometric analysis verified that OM does not suppress EGFR expression. The effect of OM could not be attributed to induction of protein tyrosine phosphatases. An H3922 subclone cell line, designated H3922-8, was found to exhibit no proliferative response to treatment with EGF. However, EGF-mediated protein tyrosine phosphorylation was detected in these cells. Radioligand EGF binding studies comparing H3922 to H3922-8 cells indicated that the clonal cells apparently lack high affinity EGF receptors. The mechanism by which OM suppresses EGF-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation has not been completely characterized. However, the suppressive effect occurs regardless of whether the cells are acutely responsive (H3922) or virtually unresponsive (H3922-8) to EGF stimulation of cell growth.

Abstract
Definition of cellular responses to cytokines often involves cross-communication through their respective receptors. Here, signaling by interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) is shown to depend on the IFN-alpha/beta receptor components. Although these IFNs transmit signals through distinct receptor complexes, the IFN-alpha/beta receptor component, IFNAR1, facilitates efficient assembly of IFN-gamma-activated transcription factors. This cross talk is contingent on a constitutive subthreshold IFN-alpha/beta signaling and the association between the two nonligand-binding receptor components, IFNAR1 and IFNGR2, in the caveolar membrane domains. This aspect of signaling cross talk by IFNs may apply to other cytokines.

Abstract
Sphingolipid-enriched membrane domains, characterized by a particular protein and lipid composition, have been detected in a variety of cells. However, limited data are available concerning these domains in neuronal cells. We analyzed the lipid and protein composition of a sphingolipid-enriched membrane fraction prepared from primary rat cerebellar granule cells differentiated in culture. Although the protein content of this fraction was only 1.4% of total cellular protein, 60% of the gangliosides, 67% of the sphingomyelin, 50% of the ceramide, and 40% of the cholesterol were located in this fraction. The protein pattern of the sphingolipid-enriched domain fraction was dramatically different from that associated with the cell homogenate. This fraction contained 25% of the tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins and was enriched in two proteins with apparent molecular masses of 135 and 15 kDa. 12% of cellular glycerophospholipids were located in the fraction, with phosphatidylcholine having the highest enrichment. The molar ratio between proteins, glycerophospholipids, cholesterol, sphingomyelin, ceramide and gangliosides in cerebellar granule cells was 1.6:41.6:6. 1:1.3:0.3:1 in the cell homogenate and 0.04:8.3:4.0:1.4:0.2:1 in the sphingolipid-enriched membrane fraction. These data indicate that selected proteins segregate with sphingolipids in specialized domains in the membrane of cultured neurons.

Abstract
Oxidized LDL (oxLDL) depletes caveolae of cholesterol, resulting in the displacement of endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS) from caveolae and impaired eNOS activation. In the present study, we determined if the class B scavenger receptors, CD36 and SR-BI, are involved in regulating nitric-oxide synthase localization and function. We demonstrate that CD36 and SR-BI are expressed in endothelial cells, co-fractionate with caveolae, and co-immunoprecipitate with caveolin-1. Co-incubation of cells with 10 microgram/ml high density lipoprotein (HDL) prevented oxLDL-induced translocation of eNOS from caveolae and restored acetylcholine-induced nitric-oxide synthase stimulation. Acetylcholine caused eNOS activation in cells incubated with 10 microgram/ml oxLDL (10-15 thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances) and blocking antibodies to CD36, whereas cells treated with only oxLDL were unresponsive. Furthermore, CD36-blocking antibodies prevented oxLDL-induced redistribution of eNOS. SR-BI-blocking antibodies were used to demonstrate that the effects of HDL are mediate by SR-BI. HDL binding to SR-BI maintained the concentration of caveola-associated cholesterol by promoting the uptake of cholesterol esters, thereby preventing oxLDL-induced depletion of caveola cholesterol. We conclude that CD36 mediates the effects of oxLDL on caveola composition and eNOS activation. Furthermore, HDL prevents oxLDL from decreasing the capacity for eNOS activation by preserving the cholesterol concentration in caveolae and, thereby maintaining the subcellular location of eNOS.

Abstract
In order to assess the effects of guanine nucleotide binding on the geranylgeranylation at the CAAX box of the shrimp Ras, we experimented with the shrimp Penaeus japonicus Ras (S-Ras) which is geranylgeranylated at the C-termini, shares 85% homology with mammalian K(B)-Ras protein and demonstrates identity in the guanine nucleotide binding domains (Huang C-F, Chuang N-N. 1999. J Exp Zool 283:510-521). Several point mutations in the S-ras gene were generated at codons 12 (G12V), 61 (Q61K), and 116 (N116I). The bacterially expressed mutant S-Ras proteins, G12V and Q61K, were bound with GTP without hydrolysis. In contrast, the mutant S-Ras N116I was defective in its ability to bind any guanine nucleotides. Autoradiography studies showed that the purified shrimp protein geranylgeranyltransferase I (Lin R-S, Chuang N-N. 1998. J Exp Zool 281:565-573) was unable to catalyze the transfer of [(3)H]-geranylgeranylpyrophosphate to this mutant N116I but very competently caused the geranylgeranylation of GTP-locked mutants, G12V and Q61K. These results demonstrate that the geranylgeranylation at the CAAX box of the shrimp Ras protein requires the proper binding of guanine nucleotide at its N-terminal region. J. Exp.

Abstract
Caveolin-1 is the major coat protein of caveolae and has been reported to interact with various intracellular signaling molecules including the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor. To investigate the involvement of caveolin-1 in EGF receptor action, we used mouse B82L fibroblasts transfected with (a) wild type EGF receptor, (b) a C-terminally truncated EGF receptor at residue 1022, (c) a C-terminally truncated EGF receptor at residue 973, or (d) a kinase-inactive EGF receptor (K721M). Following EGF treatment, there was a distinct electrophoretic mobility shift of the caveolin-1 present in cells expressing the truncated forms of the EGF receptor, but this shift was not detectable in cells bearing either normal levels of the wild type EGF receptor or a kinase-inactive receptor. This mobility shift was also not observed following the addition of other cell stimuli, such as platelet-derived growth factor, insulin, basic fibroblast growth factor, or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. Analysis of caveolin-1 immunoprecipitates from EGF-stimulated or nonstimulated cells demonstrated that the EGF-induced mobility shift of caveolin-1 was associated with its tyrosine phosphorylation in cells expressing truncated EGF receptors. Maximal caveolin-1 phosphorylation was achieved within 5 min after exposure to 10 nM EGF and remained elevated for at least 2 h. Additionally, several distinct phosphotyrosine-containing proteins (60, 45, 29, 24, and 20 kDa) were co-immunoprecipitated with caveolin-1 in an EGF-dependent manner. Furthermore, the Src family kinase inhibitor, PP1, does not affect autophosphorylation of the receptor, but it does inhibit the EGF-induced mobility shift and phosphorylation of caveolin-1. Conversely, the MEK inhibitors PD98059 and UO126 could attenuate EGF-induced mitogen-activated protein kinase activation, they do not affect the EGF-induced mobility shift of caveolin-1. Because truncation and overexpression of the EGF receptor have been linked to cell transformation, these results provide the first evidence that the tyrosine phosphorylation of caveolin-1 occurs via an EGF-sensitive signaling pathway that can be potentiated by an aberrant activity or expression of various forms of the EGF receptor.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a major cause of failure of cancer chemotherapy and is often associated with elevated expression of drug transporters such as P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in the cancer cells. MDR is, however, accompanied by additional biochemical changes including modifications of membrane composition and properties. We have shown that MDR is associated with a massive up-regulation of caveolin expression and an elevated surface density of caveolae. We report that phospholipase D (PLD), a constituent enzyme of caveolae and detergent-insoluble glycolipid-rich membranes (DIGs), is up-regulated in human MDR cancer cells. Lysates of HT-29-MDR human colon adenocarcinoma cells, MCF-7 AdrR human breast adenocarcinoma cells and the corresponding parental drug-sensitive cells, were fractionated on discontinuous sucrose density gradients. PLD activity was found to be enriched in low density fractions that contain DIGs and caveolar membranes, and the activity in these fractions was 4- to 6-fold higher in the MDR cells compared with the parental drug- sensitive cells. Utilizing specific antibodies to PLD1 and PLD2, the distribution of PLD isoforms along the gradient was determined and the PLD localized in DIGs and caveolar membranes has been identified as PLD2. Northern blot analysis of PLD1 and PLD2 mRNA levels has indicated that PLD2 mRNA is elevated in both HT-29-MDR and MCF-7 AdrR cells. PLD1 mRNA levels were either unchanged or reduced in the MDR cells. Finally, in vivo experiments have confirmed previous results showing that activation of PLD by phorbol esters is markedly potentiated in the MDR cells. We conclude that MDR is accompanied by an increase in PLD2 activity in DIGs and caveolar membranes.
