Abstract
Phosphoinositides (PIPn) in mammalian tissues are enriched in the stearoyl/arachidonoyl acyl chain species ("C38:4"), but its functional significance is unclear. We have used metabolic tracers (isotopologues of inositol, glucose and water) to study PIPn synthesis in cell lines in which this enrichment is preserved to differing relative extents. We show that PIs synthesised from glucose are initially enriched in shorter/more saturated acyl chains, but then rapidly remodelled towards the C38:4 species. PIs are also synthesised by a distinct 're-cycling pathway', which utilises existing precursors and exhibits substantial selectivity for the synthesis of C38:4-PA and -PI. This re-cycling pathway is rapidly stimulated during receptor activation of phospholipase-C, both allowing the retention of the C38:4 backbone and the close coupling of PIPn consumption to its resynthesis, thus maintaining pool sizes. These results suggest that one property of the specific acyl chain composition of PIPn is that of a molecular code, to facilitate 'metabolic channelling' from PIP2 to PI via pools of intermediates (DG, PA and CDP-DG) common to other lipid metabolic pathways.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide lipids (PPIn) are enriched in stearic- and arachidonic acids (38:4) but how this enrichment is established and maintained during phospholipase C (PLC) activation is unknown. Here we show that the metabolic fate of newly synthesized phosphatidic acid (PA), the lipid precursor of phosphatidylinositol (PI), is influenced by the fatty acyl-CoA used with preferential routing of the arachidonoyl-enriched species toward PI synthesis. Furthermore, during agonist stimulation the unsaturated forms of PI(4,5P)2 are replenished significantly faster than the more saturated ones, suggesting a favored recycling of the unsaturated forms of the PLC-generated hydrolytic products. Cytidine diphosphate diacylglycerol synthase 2 (CDS2) but not CDS1 was found to contribute to increased PI resynthesis during PLC activation. Lastly, while the lipid transfer protein, Nir2 is found to contribute to rapid PPIn resynthesis during PLC activation, the faster re-synthesis of the 38:4 species does not depend on Nir2. Therefore, the fatty acid side-chain composition of the lipid precursors used for PI synthesis is an important determinant of their metabolic fates, which also contributes to the maintenance of the unique fatty acid profile of PPIn lipids.

How is the acyl chain composition of phosphoinositides created and does it matter? Biochem Soc Trans 2020; 47:1291-1305.

Abstract
The phosphoinositide (PIPn) family of signalling phospholipids are central regulators in membrane cell biology. Their varied functions are based on the phosphorylation pattern of their inositol ring, which can be recognized by selective binding domains in their effector proteins and be modified by a series of specific PIPn kinases and phosphatases, which control their interconversion in a spatial and temporal manner. Yet, a unique feature of PIPns remains largely unexplored: their unusually uniform acyl chain composition. Indeed, while most phospholipids present a range of molecular species comprising acyl chains of diverse length and saturation, PIPns in several organisms and tissues show the predominance of a single hydrophobic backbone, which in mammals is composed of arachidonoyl and stearoyl chains. Despite evolution having favoured this specific PIPn configuration, little is known regarding the mechanisms and functions behind it. In this review, we explore the metabolic pathways that could control the acyl chain composition of PIPns as well as the potential roles of this selective enrichment. While our understanding of this phenomenon has been constrained largely by the technical limitations in the methods traditionally employed in the PIPn field, we believe that the latest developments in PIPn analysis should shed light onto this old question.

Abstract
Cytidine diphosphate diacylglycerol (CDP-DAG) is a key intermediate in the synthesis of phosphatidylinositol (PI) and cardiolipin (CL). Both PI and CL have highly specialized roles in cells. PI can be phosphorylated and these phosphorylated derivatives play major roles in signal transduction, membrane traffic, and maintenance of the actin cytoskeletal network. CL is the signature lipid of mitochondria and has a plethora of functions including maintenance of cristae morphology, mitochondrial fission, and fusion and for electron transport chain super complex formation. Both lipids are synthesized in different organelles although they share the common intermediate, CDP-DAG. CDP-DAG is synthesized from phosphatidic acid (PA) and CTP by enzymes that display CDP-DAG synthase activities. Two families of enzymes, CDS and TAMM41, which bear no sequence or structural relationship, have now been identified. TAMM41 is a peripheral membrane protein localized in the inner mitochondrial membrane required for CL synthesis. CDS enzymes are ancient integral membrane proteins found in all three domains of life. In mammals, they provide CDP-DAG for PI synthesis and for phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and CL synthesis in prokaryotes. CDS enzymes are critical for maintaining phosphoinositide levels during phospholipase C (PLC) signaling. Hydrolysis of PI (4,5) bisphosphate by PLC requires the resynthesis of PI and CDS enzymes catalyze the rate-limiting step in the process. In mammals, the protein products of two CDS genes (CDS1 and CDS2) localize to the ER and it is suggested that CDS2 is the major CDS for this process. Expression of CDS enzymes are regulated by transcription factors and CDS enzymes may also contribute to CL synthesis in mitochondria. Studies of CDS enzymes in protozoa reveal spatial segregation of CDS enzymes from the rest of the machinery required for both PI and CL synthesis identifying a key gap in our understanding of how CDP-DAG can cross the different membrane compartments in protozoa and in mammals.

Abstract
Among the structural phospholipids that form the bulk of eukaryotic cell membranes, phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) is unique in that it also serves as the common precursor for low-abundance regulatory lipids, collectively referred to as polyphosphoinositides (PPIn). The metabolic turnover of PPIn species has received immense attention because of the essential functions of these lipids as universal regulators of membrane biology and their dysregulation in numerous human pathologies. The diverse functions of PPIn lipids occur, in part, by orchestrating the spatial organization and conformational dynamics of peripheral or integral membrane proteins within defined subcellular compartments. The emerging role of stable contact sites between adjacent membranes as specialized platforms for the coordinate control of ion exchange, cytoskeletal dynamics, and lipid transport has also revealed important new roles for PPIn species. In this review, we highlight the importance of membrane contact sites formed between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and plasma membrane (PM) for the integrated regulation of PPIn metabolism within the PM. Special emphasis will be placed on non-vesicular lipid transport during control of the PtdIns biosynthetic cycle as well as toward balancing the turnover of the signaling PPIn species that define PM identity.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol (PI) is a minor phospholipid with a characteristic fatty acid profile; it is highly enriched in stearic acid at the sn-1 position and arachidonic acid at the sn-2 position. PI is phosphorylated into seven specific derivatives, and individual species are involved in a vast array of cellular functions including signalling, membrane traffic, ion channel regulation and actin dynamics. De novo PI synthesis takes place at the endoplasmic reticulum where phosphatidic acid (PA) is converted to PI in two enzymatic steps. PA is also produced at the plasma membrane during phospholipase C signalling, where hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol (4,5) bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) leads to the production of diacylglycerol which is rapidly phosphorylated to PA. This PA is transferred to the ER to be also recycled back to PI. For the synthesis of PI, CDP-diacylglycerol synthase (CDS) converts PA to the intermediate, CDP-DG, which is then used by PI synthase to make PI. The de novo synthesised PI undergoes remodelling to acquire its characteristic fatty acid profile, which is altered in p53-mutated cancer cells. In mammals, there are two CDS enzymes at the ER, CDS1 and CDS2. In this review, we summarise the de novo synthesis of PI at the ER and the enzymes involved in its subsequent remodelling to acquire its characteristic acyl chains. We discuss how CDS, the rate limiting enzymes in PI synthesis are regulated by different mechanisms. During phospholipase C signalling, the CDS1 enzyme is specifically upregulated by cFos via protein kinase C.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidylinositol acyltransferase 1 (LPIAT1), also known as MBOAT7, is a phospholipid acyltransferase that selectively incorporates arachidonic acid (AA) into the sn-2 position of phosphatidylinositol (PI). We previously demonstrated that LPIAT1 regulates AA content in PI and plays a crucial role in brain development in mice. However, how LPIAT1 is regulated and which proteins function cooperatively with LPIAT1 are unknown. In this study, using a split-ubiquitin membrane yeast two-hybrid system, we identified the small subunit of serine palmitoyltransferase a (ssSPTa) as an LPIAT1-interacting protein. ssSPTa co-immunoprecipitated and colocalized with LPIAT1 in cultured mammalian cells. Knockdown of ssSPTa decreased the LPIAT1-dependent incorporation of exogenous AA into PI but did not affect the in vitro enzyme activity of LPIAT1 in the microsomal fraction. Interestingly, knockdown of ssSPTa decreased the protein level of LPIAT1 in the crude mitochondrial fraction but not in total homogenate or the microsomal fraction. LPIAT1 was localized to the mitochondria-associated membrane (MAM), where AA-selective acyl-CoA synthetase is enriched. These results suggest that ssSPTa plays a role in fatty acid remodeling of PI, probably by facilitating the MAM localization of LPIAT1.

Abstract
Mammalian phosphatidylinositol (PI) has a unique fatty acid composition in that 1-stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl species is predominant. This fatty acid composition is formed through fatty acid remodeling by sequential deacylation and reacylation. We recently identified three Caenorhabditis elegans acyltransferases (ACL-8, ACL-9, and ACL-10) that incorporate stearic acid into the sn-1 position of PI. Mammalian LYCAT, which is the closest homolog of ACL-8, ACL-9, and ACL-10, was originally identified as a lysocardiolipin acyltransferase by an in vitro assay and was subsequently reported to possess acyltransferase activity toward various anionic lysophospholipids. However, the in vivo role of mammalian LYCAT in phospholipid fatty acid metabolism has not been well elucidated. In this study, we generated LYCAT-deficient mice and demonstrated that LYCAT determined the fatty acid composition of PI in vivo. LYCAT-deficient mice were outwardly healthy and fertile. In the mice, stearoyl-CoA acyltransferase activity toward the sn-1 position of PI was reduced, and the fatty acid composition of PI, but not those of other major phospholipids, was altered. Furthermore, expression of mouse LYCAT rescued the phenotype of C. elegans acl-8 acl-9 acl-10 triple mutants. Our data indicate that LYCAT is a determinant of PI molecular species and its function is conserved in C. elegans and mammals.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol (PI), an important constituent of membranes, contains stearic acid as the major fatty acid at the sn-1 position. This fatty acid is thought to be incorporated into PI through fatty acid remodeling by sequential deacylation and reacylation. However, the genes responsible for the reaction are unknown, and consequently, the physiological significance of the sn-1 fatty acid remains to be elucidated. Here, we identified acl-8, -9, and -10, which are closely related to each other, and ipla-1 as strong candidates for genes involved in fatty acid remodeling at the sn-1 position of PI. In both ipla-1 mutants and acl-8 acl-9 acl-10 triple mutants of Caenorhabditis elegans, the stearic acid content of PI is reduced, and asymmetric division of stem cell-like epithelial cells is defective. The defects in asymmetric division of these mutants are suppressed by a mutation of the same genes involved in intracellular retrograde transport, suggesting that ipla-1 and acl genes act in the same pathway. IPLA-1 and ACL-10 have phospholipase A(1) and acyltransferase activity, respectively, both of which recognize the sn-1 position of PI as their substrate. We propose that the sn-1 fatty acid of PI is determined by ipla-1 and acl-8, -9, -10 and crucial for asymmetric divisions.

Abstract
Mechanisms that function to regulate the rate of de novo phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) synthesis in mammalian cells have not been elucidated. In this study, we characterize the effect of phorbol ester treatment on de novo PtdIns synthesis in C3A human hepatoma cells. Incubation of cells with 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13-acetate (TPA) initially (1-6 h) results in a decrease in precursor incorporation into PtdIns; however, at later times (18-24 h), a marked increase is observed. TPA-induced glucose uptake from the medium is not required for observation of the stimulation of PtdIns synthesis, because the effect is apparent in glucose-free medium. Inhibition of the activation of arachidonic acid substantially blocks the synthesis of PtdIns but has no effect on the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho). Increasing the concentration of cellular phosphatidic acid by blocking its conversion to diacylglycerol, on the other hand, enhances the synthesis of PtdIns and inhibits the synthesis of PtdCho. The TPA-induced stimulation of PtdIns synthesis is not the result of the concomitant TPA-induced G1 arrest, because G1 arrest induced by mevastatin has no effect on PtdIns synthesis. Inhibition of protein kinase C activity blocks the stimulatory action of TPA on de novo synthesis of PtdIns but has no effect on TPA-induced inhibition. Potential sites of enzymatic regulation are discussed.

Abstract
Polyphosphoinositide synthesis in isolated islets of the rat was determined by the phosphorylation of endogenous phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) by PtdIns kinase and [gamma-32P]ATP to form [32P]-phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdInsP) in cell homogenates. Glucose stimulation of intact islets resulted in a time- and concentration-dependent reduction in PtdInsP synthesis. Similarly, the stimulation of intact islets with carbachol (CCh), cholecystokinin (CCK-8S), or tolbutamide for 15 min reduced PtdInsP production in a concentration-dependent manner. The effects of glucose, tolbutamide and CCh were reversible. PtdInsP hydrolysis did not account for the reduction in PtdInsP recovery. The addition of exogenous PtdIns to the PtdIns kinase assay significantly increased basal PtdInsP levels. In addition, exogenous PtdIns completely reversed the inhibitory effects of glucose and increased PtdIns kinase activity in homogenates of glucose-stimulated islets to levels found in control homogenate with PtdIns. Exogenous PtdIns also increased PtdIns kinase activity in CCK-8S-treated islets, although exogenous PtdIns did not overcome the tolbutamide-induced inhibition of PtdIns kinase. The Vmax of PtdIns kinase in homogenates of islets treated with tolbutamide was reduced significantly, although glucose did not affect the Vmax. In addition, the Km values for ATP and PtdIns were not altered by exposure of the islets to cell stimuli. The results suggest that the level of PtdIns in islet cell membranes is rate limiting for PtdInsP synthesis, and that tolbutamide is a noncompetitive inhibitor of PtdIns kinase.

Abstract
Both the phosphatidylcholine transfer protein (PC-TP) and the phosphatidylinositol transfer protein (PI-TP) act as carriers of phosphatidylcholine (PC) molecules between membranes. To study the structure of the acyl binding sites of these proteins, the affinity of 32 distinct natural and related PC molecular species was determined by using a previously developed fluorometric competition assay. Marked differences in affinity between species were observed with both proteins. Affinity vs lipid hydrophobicity (determined by reverse-phase HPLC) plots displayed a well-defined maximum indicating that the acyl chain hydrophobicity is an important determinant of binding of a phospholipid molecule by these transfer proteins. However, besides the overall lipid hydrophobicity, steric properties of the individual acyl chains contribute considerably to the affinity, and PC-TP and PI-TP respond differently to modifications of the acyl chain structure. The affinity of PC-TP increased steadily with increasing unsaturation of the sn-2 acyl moiety, resulting in high affinity for species containing four and six double bonds in the sn-2 chain, whereas the affinity of PI-TP first increased up to two to three double bonds and then declined. These data, as well as the distinct effects of sn-2 chain double bond position and bromination, indicate that the sn-2 acyl chain binding sites of the two proteins are structurally quite different. The sn-1 acyl binding sites are dissimilar as well, since variation of the length of saturated sn-1 chain affected the affinity differently.
