Abstract
Phosphatidate phosphatase (PAP) catalyzes the penultimate step in the synthesis of triacylglycerol and regulates the synthesis of membrane phospholipids. There is much interest in this enzyme because it controls the cellular levels of its substrate, phosphatidate (PA), and product, DAG; defects in the metabolism of these lipid intermediates are the basis for lipid-based diseases such as obesity, lipodystrophy, and inflammation. The measurement of PAP activity is required for studies aimed at understanding its mechanisms of action, how it is regulated, and for screening its activators and/or inhibitors. Enzyme activity is determined through the use of radioactive and nonradioactive assays that measure the product, DAG, or Pi However, sensitivity and ease of use are variable across these methods. This review summarizes approaches to synthesize radioactive PA, to analyze radioactive and nonradioactive products, DAG and Pi, and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each PAP assay.

Abstract
PA phosphatase, encoded by PAH1 in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, catalyzes the Mg2+-dependent dephosphorylation of PA, producing DAG at the nuclear/ER membrane. This enzyme plays a major role in triacylglycerol synthesis and in the regulation of phospholipid synthesis. As an interfacial enzyme, PA phosphatase interacts with the membrane surface, binds its substrate, and catalyzes its reaction. The Triton X-100/PA-mixed micellar system has been utilized to examine the activity and regulation of yeast PA phosphatase. This system, however, does not resemble the in vivo environment of the membrane phospholipid bilayer. We developed an assay system that mimics the nuclear/ER membrane to assess PA phosphatase activity. PA was incorporated into unilamellar phospholipid vesicles (liposomes) composed of the major nuclear/ER membrane phospholipids, PC, PE, PI, and PS. We optimized this system to support enzyme-liposome interactions and to afford activity that is greater than that obtained with the aforementioned detergent system. Activity was regulated by phospholipid composition, whereas the enzyme's interaction with liposomes was insensitive to composition. Greater activity was attained with large (≥100 nm) versus small (50 nm) vesicles. The fatty-acyl moiety of PA had no effect on this activity. PA phosphatase activity was dependent on the bulk (hopping mode) and surface (scooting mode) concentrations of PA, suggesting a mechanism by which the enzyme operates along the nuclear/ER membrane in vivo.

Abstract
Intramuscular accumulation of bioactive lipids leads to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (T2D). There is lack of consensus concerning which of the lipid mediators has the greatest impact on muscle insulin action in vivo Our aim was to elucidate the effects of high-fat diet (HFD) and metformin (Met) on skeletal muscle bioactive lipid accumulation and insulin resistance (IR) in rats. We employed a [U-13C]palmitate isotope tracer and mass spectrometry to measure the content and fractional synthesis rate (FSR) of intramuscular long-chain acyl-CoA (LCACoA), diacylglycerols (DAG) and ceramide (Cer). Eight weeks of HFD-induced intramuscular accumulation of LCACoA, DAG and Cer accompanied by both systemic and skeletal muscle IR. Metformin treatment improved insulin sensitivity at both systemic and muscular level by the augmentation of Akt/PKB and AS160 phosphorylation and decreased the content of DAG and Cer and their respective FSR. Principal component analysis (PCA) of lipid variables revealed that altered skeletal muscle IR was associated with lipid species containing 18-carbon acyl-chain, especially with C18:0-Cer, C18:1-Cer, 18:0/18:2-DAG and 18:2/18:2-DAG, but not palmitate-derived lipids. It is concluded that the insulin-sensitizing action of metformin in skeletal muscle is associated with decreased 18-carbon acyl-chain-derived bioactive lipids.

Abstract
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) and PPARγ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) are crucial transcriptional regulators for genes involved in FA oxidation. Lipin-1 is essential for this increased capacity for β-oxidation in fasted livers, and it is also a phosphatidate phosphatase involved in triacylglycerol and phospholipid synthesis. Little is known about the regulation of these proteins in the heart during fasting, where there is increased FA esterification and oxidation. Lipin-1, lipin-2, lipin-3, carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1b (Cpt1b), and PGC-1α-b mRNA were increased by glucocorticoids and cAMP in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. However, Cpt1b upregulation was caused by increased PPARα activation rather than expression. By contrast, the effects of PPARα in fasted livers are mediated through increased expression. During fasting, the expressions of PGC-1α-b and PGC-1α-c are increased in mouse hearts, and this is explained by increased cAMP-dependent signaling. By contrast, PGC-1α-a expression is increased in liver. Contrary to our expectations, lipin-1 expression was decreased and lipin-2 remained unchanged in hearts compared with increases in fasted livers. Our results identify novel differences in the regulation of lipins, PPARα, and PGC-1α splice variants during fasting in heart versus liver, even though the ultimate outcome in both tissues is to increase FA turnover and oxidation.

Abstract
Lipin-1 is the major phosphatidate phosphatase (PAP) in the heart and a transcriptional coactivator that regulates fatty acid (FA) oxidation in the liver. As the control of FA metabolism is essential for maintaining cardiac function, we investigated whether lipin-1 deficiency affects cardiac metabolism and performance. Cardiac PAP activity in lipin-1 deficient [fatty liver dystrophy (fld)] mice was decreased by >80% compared with controls. Surprisingly, oleate oxidation and incorporation in triacylglycerol (TG), as well as glucose oxidation, were not significantly different in perfused working fld hearts. Despite this, [³H]oleate accumulation in phosphatidate and phosphatidylinositol was increased in fld hearts, reflecting the decreased PAP activity. Phosphatidate accumulation was linked to increased cardiac mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Transthoracic echocardiography showed decreased cardiac function in fld mice; however, cardiac dysfunction was not observed in ex vivo perfused working fld hearts. This showed that changes in systemic factors due to the global absence of lipin-1 could contribute to the decreased cardiac function in vivo. Collectively, this study shows that fld hearts exhibit unchanged oleate esterification, as well as oleate and glucose oxidation, despite the absence of lipin-1. However, lipin-1 deficiency increases the accumulation of newly synthesized phosphatidate and induces aberrant cell signaling.

Abstract
The lipins have been described as metabolic enzymes that regulate lipid biosynthesis and also signaling processes by controlling the cellular concentration of bioactive lipids, phosphatidic acid, and diacylgycerol. In the present work we have studied the subcellular localization and role of lipin-1 in human monocyte-derived macrophages. Human macrophages express lipin-1 isoforms α and β. A transfected lipin-1α-enhanced GFP construct associates with membranes of cellular organelles that can be stained with Nile Red. Colocalization experiments with lipid droplet (LD)-specific proteins such as adipophilin/adipose differentiation-related protein/perilipin 2 or TIP47/perilipin 3 show that both proteins colocalize with lipin-1α in the same cellular structures. Reduction of the expression levels of lipin-1 by small interfering RNA technology does not impair triacylglycerol biosynthesis but reduces the size of LDs formed in response to oleic acid. In agreement with these data, peritoneal macrophages from animals that carry a mutation in the Lpin-1 gene (fld animals) also produce less and smaller LDs in response to oleic acid. Mass spectrometry determinations demonstrate that the fatty acid composition of triacylglycerol in isolated LDs from lipin-1-deficient cells differs from that of control cells. Moreover, activation of cytosolic group IVA phospholipase A(2)α, a proinflammatory enzyme that is also involved in LD biogenesis, is also compromised in lipin-1-deficient cells. Collectively, these data suggest that lipin-1 associates with LDs and regulates the activation of cytosolic group IVA phospholipase A(2)α in human monocyte-derived macrophages.

Abstract
The identification of the yeast phosphatidate phosphohydrolase (PAH1) gene encoding an enzyme with phosphatidate phosphatase (PAP; 3-sn-phosphatidate phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.4) activity led to the discovery of mammalian Lipins and subsequently to homologous genes from plants. In the present study, we describe the functional characterization of Arabidopsis and Brassica napus homologs of PAH1. Recombinant expression studies confirmed that homologous PAHs from plants can rescue different phenotypes exhibited by the yeast pah1Δ strain, such as temperature growth sensitivity and atypical neutral lipid composition. Using this expression system, we examined the role of the putative catalytic motif DXDXT and other conserved residues by mutational analysis. Mutants within the carboxy-terminal lipin domain displayed significantly decreased PAP activity, which was reflected by their limited ability to complement different phenotypes of pah1Δ. Subcellular localization studies using a green fluorescent protein fusion protein showed that Arabidopsis PAH1 is mostly present in the cytoplasm of yeast cells. However, upon oleic acid stimulation, green fluorescent protein fluorescence was predominantly found in the nucleus, suggesting that plant PAH1 might be involved in the transcriptional regulation of gene expression. In addition, we demonstrate that mutation of conserved residues that are essential for the PAP activity of the Arabidopsis PAH1 enzyme did not impair its nuclear localization in response to oleic acid. In conclusion, the present study provides evidence that Arabidopsis and B. napus PAHs restore lipid synthesis in yeast and that DXDXT is a functional enzymic motif within plant PAHs.

Abstract
An appropriate balance between uterine quiescence and activation during pregnancy is essential for a successful outcome. Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), a bioactive lipid, increases cell survival, proliferation, and angiogenesis, all important to maintain the pregnancy. Indeed progesterone increases sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1) mRNA, which produces S1P. In contrast, induction of prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase 2 by S1P and stimulation of SPHK1 by estradiol and cytokines suggests a role for S1P in the termination of pregnancy. Human decidua is important for regulating the maintenance and termination of pregnancy with production of progesterone receptors, cytokines, and prostaglandins. We hypothesized that S1P is produced by and acts on the decidua to stimulate production of mediators that induce labor. Our objective was to investigate the metabolism of S1P and its receptors in human decidua during pregnancy. We found that SPHK1 protein and activity positively correlated with increasing gestational age in human decidua parietalis. This was accompanied at term by increased expression of the S1P lyase, which irreversibly degrades S1P. This implies increased S1P turnover in the decidua at term. Although the mRNA level of phosphatidic acid phosphatase type 2A and 2B (PPAP2A,B), which dephosphorylate extracellular S1P, were increased at term, PPAP2 activity did not change. Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 3 protein expression also increased at term, indicating increased signaling by S1P in the decidua. There were no differences in any parameter tested in decidua from women in labor compared to those who were not. This work provides the first evidence of increased S1P synthesis, degradation, and signaling in human decidua during gestation.

Abstract
Mammalian lipins (lipin-1, lipin-2, and lipin-3) are Mg2+-dependent phosphatidate phosphatase (PAP) enzymes, which catalyze a key reaction in glycerolipid biosynthesis. Lipin-1 also functions as a transcriptional coactivator in conjunction with members of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor family. An S734L mutation in LPIN2 causes Majeed syndrome, a human inflammatory disorder characterized by recurrent osteomyelitis, fever, dyserythropoietic anemia, and cutaneous inflammation. Here we demonstrate that mutation of the equivalent serine in mouse lipin-1 and lipin-2 to leucine or aspartate abolishes PAP activity but does not impair lipin association with microsomal membranes, the major site of glycerolipid synthesis. We also determined that lipin-2 has transcriptional coactivator activity for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-response elements similar to lipin-1 and that this activity is not affected by mutating the conserved serine. Therefore, our results indicate that the symptoms of the Majeed syndrome result from a loss of lipin-2 PAP activity. To characterize sites of lipin-2 action, we detected lipin-2 expression by in situ hybridization on whole mouse sections and by quantitative PCR of tissues relevant to Majeed syndrome. Lipin-2 was most prominently expressed in liver, where levels were much higher than lipin-1, and also in kidney, lung, gastrointestinal tract, and specific regions of the brain. Lipin-2 was also expressed in circulating red blood cells and sites of lymphopoiesis (bone marrow, thymus, and spleen). These results raise the possibility that the loss of lipin-2 PAP activity in erythrocytes and lymphocytes may contribute to the anemia and inflammation phenotypes observed in Majeed syndrome patients.

Abstract
Lipin 1 plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism in adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and liver. Its physiological role involves two cellular functions: regulation of phosphatidate phosphatase activity and regulation of fatty acid oxidation. In this study, we have demonstrated that lipin 1 gene (LPIN1) expression is regulated by cellular sterols, which are key regulators of lipid metabolism. We have also characterized the sterol-response element and nuclear factor Y-binding sites in the human LPIN1 promoter. Using a luciferase assay, electrophoretic mobility shift assay, and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay, we demonstrated that these elements are responsible for the transcription of LPIN1 gene, mediated by SREBP-1 (sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1) and nuclear factor Y. Furthermore, we investigated whether lipin 1 is involved in lipogenesis by transfection of LPIN1 small interfering RNA. We infer that sterol-mediated regulation of lipin 1 gene transcription modulates triglyceride accumulation. This modulation involves changes in the activity of phosphatidate phosphatase.

Abstract
Three lipid phosphate phosphatases (LPPs) regulate cell signaling by modifying the concentrations of a variety of lipid phosphates versus their dephosphorylated products. In particular, the LPPs are normally considered to regulate signaling by the phospholipase D (PLD) pathway by converting phosphatidate (PA) to diacylglycerol (DAG). LPP activities do modulate the accumulations of PA and DAG following PLD activation, but this could also involve an effect upstream of PLD activation. The active sites of the LPPs are on the exterior surface of plasma membranes, or on the luminal surface of internal membranes. Consequently, the actions of the LPPs in metabolizing PA formed by PLD1 or PLD2 should depend on the access of this substrate to the active site of the LPPs. Alternatively, PA generated on the cytosolic surface of membranes should be readily accessible to the family of specific phosphatidate phosphatases, namely the lipins. Presently, there is only indirect evidence for the lipins participating in cell signaling following PLD activation. So far, we know relatively little about how individual LPPs and specific phosphatidate phosphatases (lipins) modulate cell signaling through controlling the turnover of bioactive lipids that are formed after PLD activation.

Abstract
Under environmental stresses, several lipolytic enzymes are known to be activated and to contribute to membrane lipid turnover and generation of second messengers. In animal cells, phosphatidic acid phosphatase (PAP, EC 3.1.3.4), which dephosphorylates phosphatidic acid generating diacylglycerol, is long known as an enzyme involved in lipid synthesis and cell signalling. However, knowledge on PAP in plants remains very limited. The aim of this work was to isolate and characterize PAP genes in the tropical legume Vigna unguiculata (cowpea), and to study their expression under different stress conditions. Two cDNAs designated as VuPAPalpha and VuPAPbeta were cloned from the leaves of cowpea. Both proteins share sequence homology to animal type 2 PAP, namely, the six transmembrane regions and the consensus sequences corresponding to the catalytic domain of the phosphatase family, like the recently described Arabidopsis LPP (Lipid Phosphate Phosphatase) proteins. The recombinant protein VuPAPalpha expressed in Escherichia coli cells was able to convert phosphatidic acid into diacylglycerol. Unlike VuPAPbeta, VuPAPalpha has an N-terminal transit peptide and was addressed to chloroplast in vitro. Both genes are expressed in several cowpea organs and their transcripts accumulate in leaves in response to water deficit, including progressive dehydration of whole plants and rapid desiccation of detached leaves. No changes in expression of both genes were observed after wounding or by treatment with jasmonic acid. Furthermore, the in silico analysis of VuPAPalpha promoter allowed the identification of several putative drought-related regulatory elements. The possible physiological role of the two cloned PAPs is discussed.

Abstract
Phosphatidate phosphatase-1 (PAP1) enzymes have a key role in glycerolipid synthesis through the conversion of phosphatidate to diacylglycerol, the immediate precursor of triacylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, and phosphatidylethanolamine. PAP1 activity in mammals is determined by the lipin family of proteins, lipin-1, lipin-2, and lipin-3, which each have distinct tissue expression patterns and appear to have unique physiological functions. In addition to its role in glycerolipid synthesis, lipin-1 also operates as a transcriptional coactivator, working in collaboration with known nuclear receptors and coactivators to modulate lipid metabolism gene expression. The requirement for different lipin activities in vivo is highlighted by the occurrence of lipodystrophy, insulin resistance, and neuropathy in a lipin-1-deficient mutant mouse strain. In humans, variations in lipin-1 expression levels and gene polymorphisms are associated with insulin sensitivity, metabolic rate, hypertension, and risk for the metabolic syndrome. Furthermore, critical mutations in lipin-2 result in the development of an inflammatory disorder in human patients. A key goal of future studies will be to further elucidate the specific roles and modes of regulation of each of the three lipin proteins in key metabolic processes, including triglyceride and phospholipid synthesis, fatty acid metabolism, and insulin sensitivity.

Abstract
Glucocorticoids (GCs) increase hepatic phosphatidate phosphatase (PAP1) activity. This is important in enhancing the liver's capacity for storing fatty acids as triacylglycerols (TAGs) that can be used subsequently for beta-oxidation or VLDL secretion. PAP1 catalyzes the conversion of phosphatidate to diacylglycerol, a key substrate for TAG and phospholipid biosynthesis. PAP1 enzymes in liver include lipin-1A and -1B (alternatively spliced isoforms) and two distinct gene products, lipin-2 and lipin-3. We determined the mechanisms by which the composite PAP1 activity is regulated using rat and mouse hepatocytes. Levels of lipin-1A and -1B mRNA were increased by dexamethasone (dex; a synthetic GC), and this resulted in increased lipin-1 synthesis, protein levels, and PAP1 activity. The stimulatory effect of dex on lipin-1 expression was enhanced by glucagon or cAMP and antagonized by insulin. Lipin-2 and lipin-3 mRNA were not increased by dex/cAMP, indicating that increased PAP1 activity is attributable specifically to enhanced lipin-1 expression. This work provides the first evidence for the differential regulation of lipin activities. Selective lipin-1 expression explains the GC and cAMP effects on increased hepatic PAP1 activity, which occurs in hepatic steatosis during starvation, diabetes, stress, and ethanol consumption.

Abstract
Phosphatidic acid phosphohydrolase (PAP) catalyzes the dephosphorylation of phosphatidic acid (PA) to diacylglycerol, the second messenger responsible for activation of protein kinase C. Despite the crucial role of PAP lipid signaling, there are no data on PAP signaling function in the human heart. Here we present a nonradioactive assay for the investigation of PAP activity in human myocardium using a fluorescent derivative of PA, 2-(4,4-difluoro-5,7-dimethyl-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene-3-pentanoyl)-1-hexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate (BODIPY-PA), as substrate in an in vitro PAP-catalyzed reaction. Unreacted BODIPY-PA was resolved from the PAP products by a binary gradient HPLC system and BODIPY-diacylglycerol was detected by fluorimetry. The reaction proceeded at a linear rate for up to 60 min and increased linearly with increasing amounts of cardiac protein in a range of 0.25 to 8.0 microg. This assay proved to be sensitive for accurate quantitation of total PAP activity, PAP-1 activity, and PAP-2 activity in human atrial tissue and right ventricular endomyocardial biopsies. Total PAP activity was approximately fourfold higher in ventricular myocardium than in atrial tissue. There was negligible PAP-1 activity in atrial myocardium compared with ventricular myocardium, indicating regional differences in activities and distribution pattern of PAP-1 and PAP-2 in the human heart.

Abstract
The malachite green-molybdate reagent was used for a colorimetric assay of pure Mg2(+)-dependent phosphatidate phosphatase activity. This enzyme plays a major role in fat metabolism. Enzyme activity was linear with time and protein concentration, and with the concentration of water-soluble dioctanoyl phosphatidate. The colorimetric assay was used to examine enzyme inhibition by phenylglyoxal, propranolol, and dimethyl sulfoxide. Pure enzyme and a water-soluble phosphatidate substrate were required for the assay, which should be applicable to a well-defined large-scale screen of Mg2(+)-dependent phosphatidate phosphatise inhibitors (or activators).

Abstract
We previously identified mutations in the Lpin1 gene, encoding lipin-1, as the underlying cause of lipodystrophy in the fatty liver dystrophy (fld) mutant mouse. Lipin-1 is normally expressed at high levels in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle, and deficiency in the fld mouse causes impaired adipose tissue development, insulin resistance, and altered energy expenditure. We also identified two additional lipin protein family members of unknown function, lipin-2 and lipin-3. Han et al. (Han, G. S., Wu, W. I., and Carman, G. M. (2006) J. Biol. Chem. 281, 9210-9218) recently demonstrated that the single lipin homolog in yeast, Smp2, exhibits phosphatidate phosphatase type-1 (PAP1) activity, which has a key role in glycerolipid synthesis. Here we demonstrate that lipin-1 accounts for all of the PAP1 activity in white and brown adipose tissue and skeletal muscle. However, livers of lipin-1-deficient mice exhibited normal PAP1 activity, indicating that other members of the lipin protein family could have PAP1 activity. Consistent with this possibility, recombinant lipin-2 and lipin-3 possess PAP1 activity. Each of the three lipin family members showed Mg2+-dependent activity that was specific for phosphatidate under the conditions employed. The different lipins showed distinct tissue expression patterns. Our results establish the three mammalian lipin proteins as PAP1 enzymes and explain the biochemical basis for lipodystrophy in the lipin-1-deficient fld mouse.

Abstract
Aging is a process that affects different organs, of which the brain is particularly susceptible. PA and DAG are central intermediates in the phosphoglyceride as well as in the neutral lipid biosynthetic pathway, and they have also been implicated in signal transduction. Phospholipase D (PLD) and phosphatidate phosphohydrolase (PAP) are the enzymes that generate PA and DAG. The latter can be transformed into MAG by diacylglycerol lipase (DGL). In the present study, we examine how aging modulates the PLD, PAP, and DGL isoforms in cerebellar subcellular fractions from 4- (adult), 28-, and 33-mon-old (aged) rats. PI-4,5-bisphosphonate (PIP2)-dependent PLD, PAP1, and DGL1 were distributed in different percentages in all cerebellum subcellular fractions. On the other hand, PAP2 and DGL2 activities were observed in all subcellular fractions except in the cytosolic fraction. Aging modified the enzyme distribution pattern. In addition, aging decreased nuclear (45%), mitochondrial-synaptosomal (55%), and cytosolic (71%) PAP1 activity and increased (28%) microsomal PAP1 activity. DGL1 activity was decreased in nuclear (85%) and mitochondrial-synaptosomal (63%) fractions by aging. On the other hand, PIP2-dependent PLD activities were increased in the mitochondrial-synaptosomal fraction. PAP2 and DGL2 were increased in the microsomal fraction by 87 and 114%, respectively, and they were decreased in the nuclear fraction. The changes observed in cerebellum PAP1 and DGL1 activities from aged rats with respect to adult rats could be related to modifications in lipid metabolism. Differential PA metabolization during aging through PIP2-dependent PLD/PAP2/DGL2 activities could be related to alterations in the neural signal transduction mechanisms.

Abstract
The phospholipid growth factors (PLGFs), including lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), have been implicated in corneal wound healing. PLGF concentrations and activities are elevated after corneal injury. Using real-time PCR, we quantified receptor mRNA levels in the healing rabbit cornea. In intact corneas, transcripts for S1P(1), LPA(1), and LPA(3) receptor subtypes were detected, as was lipid phosphate phosphatase 1 (LPP1). After wounding, the trend for endothelium and keratocytes was for significant decreases in transcript numbers for the three receptor subtypes, whereas epithelial cells showed increased transcript numbers, except for an S1P(1) decrease in healing cells. LPP1 transcript numbers were decreased in keratocytes and endothelium, although LPP-specific activity was unchanged. LPA-elicited Ca(2+) transients were significantly reduced in the healing endothelium. Consistent with reduced LPA(3) receptor numbers, dioctylglycerol pyrophosphate, a selective antagonist, reduced LPA-induced Ca(2+) transients 2.7-fold in nonwounded epithelium but only 1.5-fold in wound-healing endothelium. These data for the first time establish physiologically relevant differential changes in the expression of PLGF receptor subtypes and provide evidence for the changing role of LPA(3) receptors in endothelial cells.

Abstract
In this review, changes in brain lipid composition and metabolism due to aging are outlined. The most striking changes in cerebral cortex and cerebellum lipid composition involve an increase in acidic phospholipid synthesis. The most important changes with respect to fatty acyl composition involve a decreased content in polyunsaturated fatty acids (20:4n-6, 22:4n-6, 22:6n-3) and an increased content in monounsaturated fatty acids (18:1n-9 and 20:1n-9), mainly in ethanolamine and serineglycerophospholipids. Changes in the activity of the enzymes modifying the phospholipid headgroup occur during aging. Serine incorporation into phosphatidylserine through base-exchange reactions and phosphatidylcholine synthesis through phosphatidylethanolamine methylation increases in the aged brain. Phosphatidate phosphohydrolase and phospholipase D activities are also altered in the aged brain thus producing changes in the lipid second messengers diacylglycerol and phosphatidic acid.

Abstract
Phospholipase D 2 (PLD2) is the major PLD isozyme associated with the cardiac sarcolemmal (SL) membrane. Hydrolysis of SL phosphatidylcholine (PC) by PLD2 produces phosphatidic acid (PA), which is then converted to 1,2 diacylglycerol (DAG) by the action of phosphatidate phosphohydrolase type 2 (PAP2). In view of the role of both PA and DAG in the regulation of Ca(2+) movements and the association of abnormal Ca(2+) homeostasis with congestive heart failure (CHF), we examined the status of both PLD2 and PAP2 in SL membranes in the infarcted heart upon occluding the left coronary artery in rats for 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 weeks. A time-dependent increase in both SL PLD2 and PAP2 activities was observed in the non-infarcted left ventricular tissue following myocardial infarction (MI); however, the increase in PAP2 activity was greater than that in PLD2 activity. Furthermore, the contents of both PA and PC were reduced, whereas that of DAG was increased in the failing heart SL membrane. Treatment of the CHF animals with imidapril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, attenuated the observed changes in heart function, SL PLD2 and PAP2 activities, as well as SL PA, PC and DAG contents. The results suggest that heart failure is associated with increased activities of both PLD2 and PAP2 in the SL membrane and the beneficial effect of imidapril on heart function may be due to its ability to prevent these changes in the phospholipid signaling molecules in the cardiac SL membrane.

Abstract
Among the morphological and biochemical changes taking place in the membranes of aged tissues, we reported in previous studies on alterations in phospholipid synthesis and phospholipid-specific fatty acid composition. Phosphatidic acid (PA) and diacylglycerol (DAG) are central intermediates in phosphoglyceride and neutral lipid biosynthetic pathways and have also recently been implicated in signal transduction. The present paper shows the effect of aging on phosphatidate phosphohydrolase (PAPase) activiy, which operates on phosphatidic acid to synthesize diacylglycerol. Two forms of mammalian PAPase can be indentified on the basis of subcellular localization and enzyme properties, one involved predominantly in lipid synthesis (PAP 1) and the other in signal transduction (PAP 2). Microsomal and cytosolic fractions of brain and liver from 3.5-month-old (adult) and 28.5-month-old (aged) rats were used. PAPase isoform activities were differentiated on the basis of N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) sensitivity and Mg(2+)-dependency. Our results demonstrate that aging caused PAP 2 to increase in brain microsomal fractions but did not affect PAP 1, whereas in brain cytosolic fractions, it caused a strong decrease in PAP 1 (57%). The distribution of enzymes between microsomes and cytosol changed in aged rats with respect to adult rats, showing a translocation of PAP 1 from cytosol to microsomes. In addition, an increase in the production of monoacylglycerol (MAG) was observed in microsomes from aged brain. PAP 2 activity in liver microsomal fractions from aged rats showed no changes with respect to adult rats whereas PAP 1 activity increased 228% in microsomal fractions and 76% in cytosolic fractions in this tissue. The distribution of PAP 1 activity between microsomal and cytosolic fractions in liver tissue was also affected in aged rats, indicating a translocation of this form of the enzyme from cytosolic to microsomal fractions. The production of monoacylglycerol in liver microsomes also increased, whereas there was a decrease in MAG formation from cytosolic fraction. The changes observed in the two PAPase forms in brain and liver of aged rats with respect to adult rats suggest that PA is differently utilized by the PAPase isoforms, probably generating aging-related DAGs different to those present in adults and required for specific cellular functions. The changes observed in liver PAP 1 from aged with respect to adult rats suggest that such changes could be related with modifications in lipid homeostasis induced by age-altered hormonal balance. However, PA-modified utilization during aging through PAP 2 activity could be related to alterations in neural signal transduction mechanisms.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) mediates pleomorphic effects on multiple cell lineages, including an increased proliferative response of ovarian cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo, at least in part through the novel expression of LPA receptors. Thus, LPA hydrolysis is necessary to limit the duration of LPA's action on multiple cell types, including ovarian cancer cells. We determined the principal mechanism of LPA hydrolysis by ovarian cancer cells and its regulation by GnRH, which is known to have antiproliferative actions on ovarian carcinomas. LPA-hydrolyzing activity in cell membranes of ovarian cancer specimens was assessed by measuring the conversion of exogenous [3H-oleoyl]LPA to [3H]oleic acid or mono[3H-oleoyl]glycerol. Approximately 98% of LPA hydrolysis could be accounted for by the dephosphorylation of LPA to yield monoglyceride, with the deacylation reaction accounting for less than 1% of LPA hydrolysis. The phosphatase activity in the plasma membrane ovarian cancer cells was approximately 2.5- and 8-fold higher than those in microsome and homogenate fractions, respectively. The membrane phosphatase was Mg2+ independent and insensitive to inhibition by N-ethylmaleimide, characteristics suggestive of phosphatidic acid phosphatase activity. Incubation of membranes from GnRH receptor-positive ovarian cancer specimens with the GnRH agonist, buserelin, induced a dose-dependent increase in LPA phosphatase activity, with a half-maximal effect occurring with 30 nmol/L buserelin. The stimulatory action of buserelin could be neutralized by displacement of GnRH from its receptor by the GnRH antagonist, antide. The plasma membranes from GnRH receptor-negative ovarian cancer specimens did not respond to GnRH stimulation. LPA phosphatase activity was also increased when the ovarian cancer cell line Caov-3 was exposed to GnRH agonist in intact cells before assay of cell membranes. These data demonstrate that LPA is hydrolyzed in the plasma membrane of ovarian cancer cells by the action of LPA phosphatase and provide initial evidence for functional coupling of LPA phosphatase to GnRH receptor occupancy.

Abstract
Two genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, LPP1 and DPP1, with homology to a mammalian phosphatidic acid (PA) phosphatase were identified and disrupted. Neither single nor combined deletions resulted in growth or secretion phenotypes. As observed previously (Toke, D. A., Bennett, W. L., Dillon, D. A., Wu, W.-I., Chen, X., Ostrander, D. B., Oshiro, J., Cremesti, A., Voelker, D. R., Fischl, A. S., and Carman, G. M. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 3278-3284; Toke, D. A., Bennett, W. L., Oshiro, J., Wu, W.-I., Voelker, D. R., and Carman, G. M. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 14331-14338), the disruption of DPP1 and LPP1 produced profound losses of Mg2+-independent PA phosphatase activity. The coincident attenuation of hydrolytic activity against diacylglycerol pyrophosphate prompted an examination of the effects of these disruptions on hydrolysis of isoprenoid pyrophosphates. Disruption of either LPP1 or DPP1 caused respective decreases of about 25 and 75% in Mg2+-independent hydrolysis of several isoprenoid phosphates by particulate fractions isolated from these cells. The particulate and cytosolic fractions from the double disruption (lpp1Delta dpp1Delta) showed essentially complete loss of Mg2+-independent hydrolytic activity toward dolichyl phosphate (dolichyl-P), dolichyl pyrophosphate (dolichyl-P-P), farnesyl pyrophosphate (farnesyl-P-P), and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (geranylgeranyl-P-P). However, a modest Mg2+-stimulated activity toward PA and dolichyl-P was retained in cytosol from lpp1Delta dpp1Delta cells. The action of Dpp1p on isoprenyl pyrophosphates was confirmed by characterization of the hydrolysis of geranylgeranyl-P-P by the purified protein. These results indicate that LPP1 and DPP1 account for most of the hydrolytic activities toward dolichyl-P-P, dolichyl-P, farnesyl-P-P, and geranylgeranyl-P-P but also suggest that yeast contain other enzymes capable of dephosphorylating these essential isoprenoid intermediates.

Abstract
Treatment of animals with hydrazine causes the accumulation of triglycerides in the liver but the mechanism remains unclear. Therefore, the effect of hydrazine on hepatic triglyceride synthesis and subsequent transport was studied in a hepatocyte model, in vitro in order to isolate liver cells from extrahepatic influences. Hepatocytes were isolated and either incubated in suspension with [14C]palmitate in the presence of hydrazine (2-12 mM) or pre-incubated with [14C]palmitate, washed free of the fatty acid and then incubated with hydrazine (2-12 mM). Hydrazine resulted in a significant reduction in the incorporation of [14C]palmitate into triglycerides and reduction in the transportation of triglycerides out of cells. When [14C]palmitate was in the incubation medium, ATP levels were reduced by lower concentrations of hydrazine than have previously been reported. None of the concentrations of hydrazine used affected cell membrane integrity (viability) as measured by LDH leakage. The 14CO2 produced by the beta-oxidation of [14C]palmitate was also measured in short term incubations (30 min) carried out in sealed vessels. There was a dose dependent increase in 14CO2 produced by very low concentrations of hydrazine (0.01-0.1 mM) after which the effect was maximal and concentrations above 8 mM hydrazine decreased 14CO2 production. The data suggest that the inhibition of transportation of triglycerides out of cells by hydrazine may have a more important role in the accumulation of triglycerides in the liver than has been previously recognised. However, the model was not able to mimic the accumulation of triglycerides in hepatocytes seen in vivo.

Abstract
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-hydrolysing enzymes have been described in many mammalian tissues and body fluids; however, their site(s) of action and in vivo functions have remained unclear. In order to identify a possible intracellular site of GPI hydrolysis, we studied the subcellular distribution of GPI-hydrolysing activity in rat liver. We found that purified fractions from rat liver hydrolysed the GPI moieties of two GPI-anchored proteins with the specificity of a phospholipase D. This GPI-specific phospholipase D (GPI-PLD) activity was found to be highly enriched in a lysosomal fraction and showed a similar intracellular distribution to that of typical lysosomal enzymes. Our results indicate that lysosomes may represent a possible intracellular site of GPI-PLD action.

Abstract
In the present paper, problems in connection with assay of the activity of magnesium-dependent rat liver phosphatidate phosphohydrolase (PAP) are discussed. PAP activity is usually measured by following the production of diacylglycerol or inorganic phosphate from the substrate phosphatidate. These two methods may give widely different results due to a number of factors that may affect the assay. One such factor is the composition of the substrate. Higher apparent enzyme activity was observed with dioleoyl-phosphatidate than with dipalmitoyl-phosphatidate. This substrate-dependent difference in apparent PAP activity was 2-2.5-fold in the absence and 10-fold in the presence of Triton X-100, respectively. Triton X-100 reduced the activity as measured with the dipalmitoyl-phosphatidate substrate. In contrast, the activity of PAP as measured with dioleoyl-phosphatidate was stimulated by Triton X-100. The stimulatory effect of Triton was reduced or abolished when the ionic strength in the assay mixture was increased. Assays based on 32P-labeled substrate are rapid and sensitive. It is shown here that 33P can be used as an alternative. This radionuclide has a longer half-life and also emits particles with lower energy, thus posing less potential health hazards for the user.

Abstract
Phosphatidate phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.4) catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphatidate to yield sn-1,2-diacylglycerol and inorganic phosphate. In mammalian systems, forms of phosphatidate phosphatase involved in glycerolipid synthesis and signal transduction have been identified. Forms of the enzyme involved in signal transduction have been purified and partially characterized. In yeast, phosphatidate phosphatases associated with the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria have also been purified and partially characterized. Information on phosphatidate phosphatases from mammals and yeast is useful in characterizing the enzyme from plant systems. This review examines progress on the characterization of phosphatidate phosphatases from mammals, yeast, and higher plants. The purification and characterization of the phosphatidate phosphatase involved in glycerolipid synthesis in developing oilseeds may lead to the identification of the encoding gene. Increasing our understanding of the enzymes of lipid synthesis in developing seeds will aid in the development of biotechnological strategies for seed oil modification.

Abstract
A Mg(2+)-independent and N-ethylmaleimide-insensitive phosphatidate phosphohydrolase (PAP-2) has been identified in the plasma membrane of cells and it has been purified. The enzyme is a multi-functional phosphohydrolase that can dephosphorylate phosphatidate, lysophosphatidate, sphingosine 1-phosphate and ceramide 1-phosphate and these substrates are competitive inhibitors of the reaction. The action of PAP-2 could terminate signalling by these bioactive lipids and at the same time generates compounds such as diacylglycerol, sphingosine and ceramide which are also potent signalling molecules. In relation to phosphatidate metabolism, sphingosine (or sphingosine 1-phosphate) stimulates phospholipase D and thus the formation of phosphatidate. At the same time sphingosine inhibits PAP-2 activity thus further increasing phosphatidate concentrations. By contrast, ceramides inhibit the activation of phospholipase D by a wide variety of agonists and increase the dephosphorylation of phosphatidate, lysophosphatidate, sphingosine 1-phosphate and ceramide 1-phosphate. These actions demonstrate "cross-talk' between the glycerolipid and sphingolipid signalling pathways and the involvement of PAP-2 in modifying the balance of the bioactive lipids generated by these pathways during cell activation.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) which was partially purified from membranes of porcine brain could be stimulated by multiple cytosolic components; these included ADP-ribosylation factor (Arf) and RhoA, which required guanine nucleotides for activity, and an unidentified factor which activated the enzyme in a nucleotide-independent manner (Singer, W. D., Brown, H. A., Bokoch, G. M., and Sternweis, P. C. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 14944-14950). Here, we report purification of the latter factor, its identification as the alpha isoform of protein kinase C (PKCalpha), and characterization of its regulation of PLD activity. Stimulation of PLD by purified PKCalpha or recombinant PKCalpha (rPKCalpha) occurred in the absence of any nucleotide and required activators such as Ca2+ or phorbol ester. This action was synergistic with stimulation of PLD evoked by either Arf or RhoA. Dephosphorylation of rPKC alpha with protein phosphatase 1 or 2A resulted in a loss of its kinase activity, but had little effect on its ability to stimulate PLD either alone or in conjunction with Arf. Staurosporine inhibited the kinase activity of PKCalpha without affecting activation of PLD. Finally, gel filtration of PKCalpha that had been cleaved with trypsin demonstrated that stimulatory activity for PLD coeluted with the regulatory domain of the enzyme. These data indicate that PKC may regulate signaling events through direct molecular interaction with downstream effectors as well as through its well characterized catalytic modification of proteins by phosphorylation.

Abstract
An N-ethylmaleimide-insensitive phosphatidate phosphohydrolase, which also hydrolyzes lysophosphatidate, was isolated from the plasma membranes of rat liver. The specific activity of an anionic form of the enzyme (53 kDa, pI < 4) was increased 2700-fold. A cationic form of enzyme (51 kDa, pI = 9) was purified to homogeneity, but the -fold purification was low because the activity of the highly purified enzyme was unstable. Immunoprecipitating antibodies raised against the homogeneous protein confirmed the identity of the cationic protein as the phosphohydrolase and were used to identify the anionic enzyme. Both forms are integral membrane glycoproteins that were converted to 28-kDa proteins upon treatment with N-glycanase F. Treatment of the anionic form with neuraminidase allowed it to be purified in the same manner as the cationic enzyme and yielded an immunoreactive protein with a molecular mass identical to the cationic protein. Thus, the two ionic forms most likely represent different sialated states of protein. An immunoreactive 51-53-kDa protein was detected in rat liver, heart, kidney, skeletal muscle, testis, and brain. Little immunoreactive 51-53-kDa protein was detected in rat thymus, spleen, adipose, or lung tissue. This work provides the tools for determining the regulation and function of the phosphatidate phosphohydrolase in signal transduction and cell activation.

Abstract
By using a tracer method, we demonstrate that short-term in vitro exposure of intact rat reticulocytes to ethanol elicits a biphasic response of cell-bound Mg(2+)-dependent phosphatidate phosphohydrolase (PAP). An initial concentration-dependent (200-750 mM) activity decrease is rapidly (< 10 min) followed by reversal of the inhibition in the presence of ethanol, suggesting the development of a cell resistance to the inhibitory agent. Addition to the cell suspension of propranolol (100 microM), a known PAP inhibitor, does elicit PAP inhibition but unlike ethanol, inhibition is not followed by a return with time to control value. Ethanol-induced inhibition of cell-bound PAP was also demonstrated in cell-free extracts, where the Mg(2+)-dependent activity was decreased both in the particulate and soluble fractions. In the intact cells, the transient PAP inhibition occurs in concomitance with an overall increase in total glycerolipid biosynthesis, which is constant over 60-min incubation. We suggest that the biphasic mode of response to ethanol of Mg(2+)-dependent PAP activity may play a role in the mechanism of membrane adaptation to ethanol, and thereby to the pathogenesis of alcoholism.

Abstract
Phospholipid metabolism was studied in N1E-115 neuroblastoma and C6 glioma cells exposed to thapsigargin, a selective inhibitor of endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase that raises the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration [Ca2+]i. Thapsigargin caused only a transient increase of [Ca2+]i (< 1 min) in N1E-115 cells similar in magnitude and duration to agonist-induced calcium release mediated by inositol trisphosphate. Sustained elevation of [Ca2+]i due to influx of extracellular calcium, as occurs in most other cell lines including C6 cells, did not occur in N1E-115 cells. Increased uptake of inorganic phosphate (Pi) associated calcium influx was observed in C6 but not in N1E-115 cells. Thapsigargin affected phospholipid synthesis in both cell lines, most likely by inhibiting phosphatidic acid phosphohydrolase as indicated by diversion of [3H]oleic acid incorporation from triacylglycerol to phospholipid synthesis and stimulation of [32P]Pi incorporation into anionic phospholipids at the expense of phosphatidylcholine synthesis. The response to increased phosphatidate/phosphatidyl-CMP availability was cell specific. Thapsigargin (> 100 nM) selectively stimulated phosphatidylglycerol synthesis 20-30-fold in N1E-115 neuroblastoma cells while phosphatidylinositol synthesis was increased < 2-fold. In contrast, phosphatidylglycerol was not affected in C6 glioma cells and phosphatidylinositol synthesis was stimulated 8-fold by thapsigargin (> 1 microM). Agonist-stimulated calcium release did not increase phosphatidylglycerol synthesis in N1E-115 cells. Thapsigargin-stimulated phosphatidylglycerol synthesis and agonist-stimulated phosphatidylinositol synthesis could occur at the same time. Similar results were obtained with TMB-8, an inhibitor of intracellular Ca2+ release that decreases diacylglycerol utilization by blocking choline uptake and phosphatidylcholine synthesis without affecting resting [Ca2+]i. Thus [Ca2+]i does not directly mediate the effects of thapsigargin, TMB-8 or agonist stimulation on anionic phospholipid metabolism. These additional effects may limit the use of thapsigargin to assess Ca(2+)-dependence of phospholipid metabolism associated with Ca(2+)-mediated signal transduction.

Abstract
The guinea pig Harderian gland, located in the orbit, is characterized by a high production of lipids. However, little is known about the regulation of the metabolic pathways involved. In the present paper the properties of guinea pig Harderian gland phosphatidate phosphohydrolase, a key enzyme in triglyceride biosynthesis, was investigated. The enzyme was present both in the cytosolic and the microsomal fraction from the gland. Cytosolic phosphatidate phosphohydrolase was purified by hydroxylapatite chromatography. The enzyme was dependent on magnesium ions and inhibited in the presence of fluoride. The dependence on the substrate phosphatidate was investigated and the apparent Km for phosphatidate was about 0.6 mM. Phosphatidate phosphohydrolase activity was influenced by different phospholipids. As is the case for the rat liver enzyme, phosphatidylethanolamine was found to stimulate the enzyme activity. The results indicate that Harderian gland phosphatidate phosphohydrolase has similar properties as the corresponding enzyme from rat liver, suggesting that it may be of regulatory importance.

Abstract
(1) Feeding increased cholesterol to hamsters resulted in a dose-dependent increase in cholesterol and triacylglycerol in very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), in serum non-esterified fatty acids and in the activity of the Mg(2+)-dependent phosphatidate phosphohydrolase in liver. (2) The effects of increasing dietary cholesterol by 0.12% (w/w) in addition to feeding fat (14%, w/w) were dependent upon the nature of the fat. Lard in the presence of 0.12% (w/w) cholesterol increased serum triacylglycerols as did olive oil. By contrast, sunflower oil did not cause a significant change in serum triacylglycerol concentrations. (3) There was a highly positive correlation between VLDL triacylglycerol and VLDL cholesterol concentrations suggesting that, at least in this model, there is a close relationship between hypertriglyceridaemia and hypercholesterolaemia.

Abstract
The activities of two phosphatidate phosphohydrolases were measured in cultured rat hepatocytes incubated with 0.1 mM albumin. The activity, which is inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide (PAP-1) is located in the cytosolic and membrane fractions. PAP-1 activity is stimulated by Mg2+ and it can be translocated from the cytosol to the membranes by relatively low (0.5-1 mM) concentrations of fatty acids. In addition, higher concentrations (1-3 mM) of fatty acids cause an increase in the total PAP-1 activity. Translocation of PAP-1 activity in the hepatocytes is preferentially promoted by unsaturated fatty acids (C18:1, C18:2, C18:3, C20:4 and C20:5), rather than by saturated acids (C14:0, C16:0, C18:0). Increasing the extracellular concentration of albumin from 30 microM to 1 mM displaces PAP-1 activity from the membrane fraction. Sphingosine, but not staurosporine, can inhibit the redistribution of PAP-1 activity induced by oleate. The amphiphilic amines, sphingosine, chlorpromazine and propranolol, also decrease membrane-bound PAP-1 activity in the absence of fatty acids, but they do not alter, significantly, the activity of the cytosolic PAP-1. In the presence of 1 mM oleate, sphingosine, chlorpromazine and propranolol decrease the translocation of PAP-1 from the cytosol to the membranes. The phosphohydrolase activity, which is insensitive to N-ethylmaleimide (PAP-2), is specifically located in the plasma membrane (Jamal, Z., Martin, A., Gomez-Muñoz, A. and Brindley, D.N. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 2988-2996) and it is not stimulated by Mg2+. Saturated fatty acids, albumin, sphingosine and propranolol have no significant effects on PAP-2 activity. However, chlorpromazine decreases PAP-2 activity by about 14%. Linolenate, arachidonate and eicosapentaenoate at 1 mM also produced small (7-10%) decreases in PAP-2 activity. It is proposed that both PAP-1 and PAP-2 activities may be involved in signal transduction, although the main function of PAP-1 seems to be involved in the synthesis of glycerolipids.

Abstract
Incubation of hepatocytes with okadaic acid displaced the N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive phosphatidate phosphohydrolase from the membrane fraction into the cytosol and partially prevented the oleate-induced movement of phosphohydrolase from cytosol to membranes. However, higher concentrations of oleate still caused translocation and activation of the phosphohydrolase. This enzyme is stimulated by Mg2+, and is probably involved in glycerolipid synthesis. Okadaic acid also decreased the concentration of diacylglycerol within the hepatocytes. Okadiac acid had no observable effect on the activity of an N-ethylmaleimide-insensitive phosphatidate phosphohydrolase which remained firmly attached to membranes. This activity is not stimulated by Mg2+ and is probably involved in signal transduction by the phospholipase D pathway.
