Abstract
We combined fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) beam-size analysis with biochemical assays to investigate the mechanisms of membrane recruitment and activation of phospholipase C-beta(2) (PLCbeta(2)) by G protein alpha(q) and betagamma dimers. We show that activation by alpha(q) and betagamma differ from activation by Rac2 and from each other. Stimulation by alpha(q) enhanced the plasma membrane association of PLCbeta(2), but not of PLCbeta(2)Delta, which lacks the alpha(q)-interacting region. Although alpha(q) resembled Rac2 in increasing the contribution of exchange to the FRAP of PLCbeta(2) and in enhancing its membrane association, the latter effect was weaker than with Rac2. Moreover, the membrane recruitment of PLCbeta(2) by alpha(q) occurred by enhancing PLCbeta(2) association with fast-diffusing (lipid-like) membrane components, whereas stimulation by Rac2 led to interactions with slow diffusing membrane sites. On the other hand, activation by betagamma shifted the FRAP of PLCbeta(2) and PLCbeta(2)Delta to pure lateral diffusion 3- to 5-fold faster than lipids, suggesting surfing-like diffusion along the membrane. We propose that these different modes of PLCbeta(2) membrane recruitment may accommodate contrasting functional needs to hydrolyze phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdInsP(2)) in localized versus dispersed populations. PLCbeta(2) activation by Rac2, which leads to slow lateral diffusion and much faster exchange, recruits PLCbeta(2) to act locally on PtdInsP(2) at specific domains. Activation by alpha(q) leads to lipid-like diffusion of PLCbeta(2) accompanied by exchange, enabling the sampling of larger, yet limited, areas prior to dissociation. Finally, activation by betagamma recruits PLCbeta(2) to the membrane by transient interactions, leading to fast "surfing" diffusion along the membrane, sampling large regions for dispersed PtdInsP(2) populations.

Abstract
We elucidate the roles of various protein kinases involved in complement 5a (C5a)-induced cell migration. Results showed that extracellular signal-regulated kinase1/2 (ERK1/2), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (P13K) were necessary for C5a-induced migration, whereas protein kinase C and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) were nonessential. C5a-induced migration was also suppresses by phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor U73122 and pertussis toxin (PTX). We found that C5a-induced, time-dependent (1) ERK1/2 phosphorylation was markedly diminished by PTX, U73122, P13K inhibitors wortmannin and LY294002 and ERK1/2 inhibitor PD98059; (2) Akt phosphorylation was also attenuated by the above inhibitors except PD98059; (3) p38 MAPK phosphorylation was only affected by PTX. Furthermore, C5a also stimulated PLCbeta(2) membrane translocation in a time-dependent manner that occurred early prior to Akt phosphorylation and could be abolished only by PTX and U73122. These results suggest that C5a, through the activation of PTX-sensitive G protein, to differentially stimulate ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK phosphorylation and evoke cell migration. That is, ERK1/2 but not p38 MAPK phosphorylation is down stream of P13K/Akt and modulated by PLC. Additionally, beta(2) isoform may be one of the participates in C5a signal and acts more upstream of P13K/Akt.

Abstract
The use of the single-trial fear conditioning paradigm allows for control over the exact moment when an animal is exposed to a learning event, making it possible to study both the initial neurobiological changes that are associated with learning and changes that take place over long periods of time. In the present study, we performed detailed analyses of the alterations in phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C-beta1a (PLC-beta1a) levels and enzyme activities in subcellular fractions prepared from the hippocampal formation (HPF) and medial frontal cortex (MFC) 1, 3, 5, 7, 24, and 72 h following single-trial fear conditioning. We observed tissue- and time-dependent changes in both PLC-beta1a enzyme activity and anti-PLC-beta1a immunoreactivity in each subcellular fraction. Based on these observations, we hypothesize that changes in PLC-beta1a catalytic activity and subcellular distribution play important roles in neuronal signaling processes that are required for fear-conditioned learning and memory.

Abstract
We developed a method for extracting raft-like, liquid-ordered membranes from the particulate fraction prepared from porcine trachealis smooth muscle. This fraction, which contains most of the plasma membrane in this tissue, was homogenized in the presence of cold 0.5% Triton X-100. After centrifugation, membranes containing high contents of sphingomyelin (SM) and cholesterol and low phosphatidylcholine (PC) contents remained in the pellet. Thirty-five millimolar octyl glucoside (OG) extracted 75% of these membranes from the Triton X-100-resistant pellet. These membranes had low buoyant densities and accounted for 28% of the particulate fraction lipid. Their lipid composition, 22% SM, 60% cholesterol, 11% phosphatidylethanolamine, 8% PC, <1% phosphatidylinositol, and coisolation with 5'-nucleotidase and caveolin-1 suggest that they are liquid-ordered membranes. We compared characteristics of OG and Triton X-100 extractions of the particulate fraction. In contrast to Triton X-100 extractions, membranes released from the particulate fraction by OG were mainly collected in low buoyant fractions at densities ranging from 1.05 to 1.11 g/ml and had phospholipid and cholesterol contents consistent with a mixture of liquid-ordered and liquid-disordered membranes. Thus, OG extraction of apparent liquid-ordered membranes from Triton X-100-resistant pellets was not due to selective extraction of these membranes. Low buoyant density appears not to be unique for liquid-ordered membranes.

Abstract
Phospholipase C-beta(2) (PLC beta(2)) is activated both by heterotrimeric G protein alpha- and beta gamma- subunits and by Rho GTPases. In this study, activated Rho GTPases are shown to stimulate PLC beta isozymes with the rank order of PLC beta(2) > PLC beta(3) > or = PLC beta(1). The sensitivity of PLC beta isozymes to Rho GTPases was clearly different from that observed for G protein beta gamma dimers, which decreased in the following order: PLC beta(3) > PLC beta(2) > PLC beta(1) for beta(1)gamma(1/2) and PLC beta(2) > PLC beta(1) >>> PLC beta(3) for beta(5)gamma(2). Rac1 and Rac2 were found to be more potent and efficacious activators of PLC beta(2) than was Cdc42Hs. The stimulation of PLC beta(2) by Rho GTPases and G protein beta gamma dimers was additive, suggesting that PLC beta(2) activation can be augmented by independent regulation of the enzyme by the two stimuli. Using chimeric PLC beta(1)-PLC beta(2) enzymes, beta gamma dimers, and Rho GTPases are shown to require different regions of PLC beta(2) to mediate efficient stimulation of the enzyme. Although the catalytic subdomains X and Y of PLC beta(2) were sufficient for efficient stimulation by beta gamma, the presence of the putative pleckstrin homology domain of PLC beta(2) was absolutely required for the stimulation of the enzyme by Rho GTPases. Taken together, these results identify Rho GTPases as novel PLC beta regulators, which mediate PLC beta isozyme-specific stimulation and are potentially involved in coordinating the activation of PLC beta(2) by extracellular mediators in intact cells.

Abstract
The phospholipase C (PLC) isoform most important during agonist-activated IP(3) production in vascular smooth muscle is still unknown. When PLC activity in rat tail artery homogenate was determined, this activity was shown to be inhibited by an antibody directed against PLCbeta2. Antibodies directed against the gamma1, beta1, beta3 and delta1 isoforms of PLC failed to inhibit PLC activity in this tissue. Both PLCbeta2 and PLCgamma1 were isolated from rat tail artery by DEAE column chromatography and PLCbeta2 activity was shown to be 3-fold greater than PLCgamma1 activity. When rat tail artery was treated with norepinephrine (10 mM), PLCbeta2 was shown to translocate from cytosol to membranes. When subcellular fractions of rat tail artery were isolated by sucrose density gradient centrifugation, including nuclei, plasma membrane, and cytosol, PLCbeta2 was detected in the plasma membrane and the cytosol but not in the nuclei. PLCdelta1 and PLCgamma1 were found only in cytosol. This evidence is consistent with the model wherein an agonist such as norepinephrine can activate smooth muscle contraction via interaction with a plasma membrane receptor which can easily interact with a plasma membrane-associated isoform of PLC, such as PLCbeta2.

Abstract
Recent findings indicate that mechanical strain (deformation) exerted by the extracellular matrix modulates activation of airway smooth muscle cells. Furthermore, cytoskeletal organization in airway smooth muscle appears to be dynamic, and subject to modulation by receptor activation and mechanical strain. Mechanosensitive modulation of crossbridge activation and cytoskeletal organization may represent intracellular feedback mechanisms that limit the shortening of airway smooth muscle during bronchoconstriction. Recent findings suggest that receptor-mediated signal transduction is the primary target of mechanosensitive modulation. Mechanical strain appears to regulate the number of functional G-proteins and/or phospholipase C enzymes in the cell membrane possibly by membrane trafficking and/or protein translocation. Dense plaques, membrane structures analogous to focal adhesions, appear to be the primary target of cytoskeletal regulation. Mechanical strain and receptor-binding appear to regulate the assembly and phosphorylation of dense plaque proteins in airway smooth muscle cells. Understanding these mechanisms may reveal new pharmacological targets for controlling airway resistance in airway diseases.

Abstract
Mechanical strain regulates the maximal level of myosin light chain phosphorylation mediated by muscarinic activation in airway smooth muscle. Accordingly, we tested the hypothesis that mechanical strain regulates maximal phosphatidylinositol (PI) turnover (V(max)) coupled to muscarinic receptors in bovine tracheal smooth muscle. We found that PI turnover was not significantly length dependent in unstimulated tissues. However, carbachol-induced PI turnover was linearly dependent on muscle length at both 1 and 100 microM. The observed linear length dependence of PI turnover at maximal carbachol concentration (100 microM) suggests that mechanical strain regulates V(max). When carbachol concentration-PI turnover relationships were measured at optimal length and at 20% optimal length, the results could be explained by changes in V(max) alone. To determine whether the length-dependent step is upstream from heterotrimeric G proteins, we investigated the length dependence of fluoroaluminate-induced PI turnover. The results indicate that fluoroaluminate-induced PI turnover remained significantly length dependent at maximal concentration. These findings together suggest that regulating functional units of G proteins and/or phospholipase C enzymes may be the primary mechanism of mechanosensitive modulation in airway smooth muscle.

Abstract
We investigated the mechanism of mucosal modulation of airway smooth muscle contraction by measuring concentration- and length dependencies of carbachol-induced active stress and myosin phosphorylation in mucosa-intact and mucosa-free bovine tracheal smooth muscle. The concentration dependencies of carbachol-induced active stress in mucosa-intact and mucosa-free smooth muscles were significantly different in maximum but not in half-maximal concentration (EC50). Similar mucosa-dependent difference in maximum was also observed in the concentration dependence of carbachol-induced myosin phosphorylation. As a result, the myosin phosphorylation-active stress relations in mucosa-intact and mucosa-free smooth muscles were not significantly different. Length dependence of carbachol-induced active stress was significant in mucosa-intact smooth muscle, and accompanied by significant length dependence of myosin phosphorylation. These results suggest that the primary effect of mucosal modulation is inhibition of myosin light chain phosphorylation without uncoupling of active stress from myosin phosphorylation in airway smooth muscle.

Abstract
In many different cell types, including smooth muscle cells (Baron et al., 1989, Am. J. Physiol., 256: C375-383; Baron et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 266: 8-15), phosphatidylinositol (4)-phosphate 5-kinase plays a critical role in the regulation of membrane concentrations of phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate and formation of inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate. In unstimulated porcine trachealis smooth muscle, 70% of total cellular phosphatidylinositol (4)-phosphate 5-kinase activity was associated with cytoskeletal proteins and only trace activity was detectable in isolated sarcolemma. Using two different preparations, we studied cytoskeleton-associated phosphatidyl inositol (4)-phosphate 5-kinase under conditions that attempted to mimic the ionic and thermal cytoplasmic environment of living cells. The cytoskeleton-associated enzyme, studied using phosphatidylinositol (4)-phosphate substrate concentrations that produced phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate at about 10% of the maximal rate, was sensitive to free [Mg2+], had an absolute requirement for phosphatidylserine, phosphatidic acid, or phosphatidylinositol, and included type I isoforms. At 0.5 mM free [Mg2+], physiological spermine concentrations, 0.2-0.4 mM, increased phosphatidylinositol (4)-phosphate 5-kinase activity two to four times compared to controls run without spermine. The EC50 for spermine-evoked increases in activity was 0.17 +/- 0.02 mM. Spermine-evoked enzyme activity was a function of both free [Mg2+] and substrate concentration. Cytoskeleton-associated phosphatidylinositol (4)-phosphate 5-kinase was inhibited by free [Ca2+] over a physiological range for cytoplasm--10(-8) to 10(-5) M, an effect independent of the presence of calmodulin. Na+ over the range 20 to 50 mM also inhibited this enzyme activated by 5 mM Mg2+ but had no effect on spermine-activated enzyme. Na+, Ca2+, and spermine appear to be physiological modulators of smooth muscle cytoskeleton-bound phosphatidylinositol (4)-phosphate 5-kinase.
