Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) quality control processes recognize and eliminate misfolded proteins to maintain cellular protein homeostasis and prevent the accumulation of defective proteins in the secretory pathway. Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins carry a glycolipid modification, which provides an efficient ER export signal and potentially prevents the entry into ER-associated degradation (ERAD), which is one of the major pathways for clearance of terminally misfolded proteins from the ER. Here, we analyzed the degradation routes of different misfolded glycoproteins carrying a C-terminal GPI-attachment signal peptide in Arabidopsis thaliana. We found that a fusion protein consisting of the misfolded extracellular domain from Arabidopsis STRUBBELIG and the GPI-anchor attachment sequence of COBRA1 was efficiently targeted to hydroxymethylglutaryl reductase degradation protein 1 complex-mediated ERAD without the detectable attachment of a GPI anchor. Non-native variants of the GPI-anchored lipid transfer protein 1 (LTPG1) that lack a severely misfolded domain, on the other hand, are modified with a GPI anchor and targeted to the vacuole for degradation. Impaired processing of the GPI-anchoring signal peptide by mutation of the cleavage site or in a GPI-transamidase-compromised mutant caused ER retention and routed the non-native LTPG1 to ERAD. Collectively, these results indicate that for severely misfolded proteins, ER quality control processes are dominant over ER export. For less severely misfolded proteins, the GPI anchor provides an efficient ER export signal resulting in transport to the vacuole.

Abstract
![]()
Recent
advances in mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics allow
the identification and quantitation of thousands of posttranslational
modification (PTM) sites in a single experiment. This follows from
the development of more effective class enrichment strategies, new
high performance instrumentation and bioinformatic algorithms with
rigorous scoring strategies. More widespread use of these combined
capabilities have led to a vast expansion in our knowledge of the
complexity of biological processes mediated by PTMs. The classes most
actively pursued include phosphorylation, ubiquitination, O-GlcNAcylation,
methylation, and acetylation. Very recently succinylation, SUMOylation,
and citrullination have emerged. Among the some 260 000 PTM
sites that have been identified in the human proteome thus far, only
a few have been assigned to key regulatory and/or other biological
roles. Here, we provide an update of MS-based PTM analyses, with a
focus on current enrichment strategies coupled with revolutionary
advances in high performance MS. Furthermore, we discuss examples
of the discovery of recently described biological roles of PTMs and
address the challenges of defining site-specific functions.

Abstract
The nature of chiro-inositol-containing inositolphosphoglycans (IPGs), reported to be putative insulin mediators, was studied by examination of the substrate specificities of the phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) and the glycosylphosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase D (GPI-PLD) by using a series of synthetic D- and L-chiro-glycosylphosphoinositides. 3-O-alpha-D-Glucosaminyl- (3) and -galactosaminyl-2-phosphatidyl-L-chiro-inositol (4), which show the maximum stereochemical similarity to the 6-O-alpha-D-glucosaminylphosphatidylinositol pseudodisaccharide motifs of GPI anchors, were synthesized and asymmetrically incorporated into phospholipid bilayers in the form of large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs). Similarly, 2-O-alpha-D-glucosaminyl- (5) and -galactosaminyl-1-phosphatidyl-D-chiro-inositol (6), which differ from the corresponding pseudodisaccharide motif of the GPI anchors only in the axial orientation of the phosphatidyl moiety, were also synthesized and asymmetrically inserted into LUVs. The cleavage of these synthetic molecules in the liposomal constructs by PI-PLC from Bacillus cereus and by GPI-PLD from bovine serum was studied with the use of 6-O-alpha-D-glucosaminylphosphatidylinositol (7) and the conserved GPI anchor structure (8) as positive controls. Although PI-PLC cleaved 3 and 4 with about the same efficiency as 7 and 8, this enzyme did not accept 5 or 6. GPI-PLD accepted both the L-chiro- (3 and 4) and the D-chiro- (5 and 6) glycosylinositolphosphoinositides. Therefore, IPGs containing L-chiro-inositol only are expected to be released from chiro-inositol-containing GPIs if the cleavage is effected by a PI-PLC, whereas GPI-PLD cleavage could result in both L-chiro- and D-chiro-inositol-containing IPGs.

Abstract
Biosynthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins (GPI-APs) in the ER has been extensively studied, whereas the molecular events during the transport of GPI-APs from the ER to the cell surface are poorly understood. Here, we established new mutant cell lines whose surface expressions of GPI-APs were greatly decreased despite normal biosynthesis of GPI-APs in the ER. We identified a gene responsible for this defect, designated PGAP2 (for Post-GPI-Attachment to Proteins 2), which encoded a Golgi/ER-resident membrane protein. The low surface expression of GPI-APs was due to their secretion into the culture medium. GPI-APs were modified/cleaved by two reaction steps in the mutant cells. First, the GPI anchor was converted to lyso-GPI before exiting the trans-Golgi network. Second, lyso-GPI-APs were cleaved by a phospholipase D after transport to the plasma membrane. Therefore, PGAP2 deficiency caused transport to the cell surface of lyso-GPI-APs that were sensitive to a phospholipase D. These results demonstrate that PGAP2 is involved in the processing of GPI-APs required for their stable expression at the cell surface.

Abstract
A cell adhesion molecule, 80-kDa csA, is involved in EDTA-resistant cell contact at the aggregation stage of Dictyostelium discoideum. A 31-kDa csA was isolated from the 80-kDa csA by treatment with Achromobacter protease I. Results from thin-layer chromatography and MALDI-TOF MS analysis indicated that the 31-kDa csA contains ceramide as a component of glycosylphosphatidyl-inositol (GPI). Comparison between the 80-kDa csA and the 31-kDa csA treated with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) or GPI-specific phospholipase D (GPI-PLD) was carried out. Our results indicated that the GPI-anchor of the 31-kDa csA was more sensitive to PI-PLC treatment than that of the 80-kDa csA, and that the anchor in both was easily cleaved by GPI-PLD treatment. They suggested that the resistance of 80-kDa csA to PI-PLC treatment was due to steric hindrance and myo-inositol modification. The results of the 80-kDa csA and the 31-kDa csA treated with sphingomyelinase were similar to those with PI-PLC treatment. In the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline, a GPI-PLD inhibitor, development of Dictyostelium was markedly inhibited, suggesting that GPI-PLD is functional in developmental regulation through cell adhesion.

Abstract
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol phospholipase D (GPI-PLD) has been proposed to be responsible for cleaving membrane-associated glycosylphosphatidyl inositol (GPI) molecules to generate inositol phosphoglycan (IPGs), which have growth factor-mimetic properties. We have cloned the mouse liver GPI-PLD cDNA, which has a sequence that differs from that previously isolated from a mouse glucagonoma cell library. Using a highly specific and very sensitive RNase protection assay, we found that the GPI-PLD expressed in adult/post-natal brain, antrum and insulin-producing cells is identical to that isolated from liver. The expression of mouse GPI-PLD in liver shows a complex genetic regulation with a mouse strain-specific variation. In addition, GPI-PLD mRNA levels were higher in 4-week old animals compared to older animals, and the GPI-PLD mRNA levels increased in mice that developed insulin dependent type 1 diabetes spontaneously. This suggests that the expression of liver GPI-PLD in mice is highly regulated.

Abstract
Expression of the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) glycoproteins gB, gD, gH, and gL is necessary and sufficient to cause cell fusion. To identify the requirements for a membrane-spanning domain in HSV-1 glycoprotein-induced cell fusion, we created gB, gD, and gH mutants with transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains replaced by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (gpi)-addition sequence. The corresponding gBgpi, gDgpi, and gHgpi proteins were expressed with wild-type efficiency at the cell surface and were linked to the plasma membrane via a gpi anchor. The gDgpi mutant promoted cell fusion near wild-type gD levels when co-expressed with gB, gH, and gL in a cell-mixing fusion assay, indicating that the gD transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains were not required for fusion activity. A plasma membrane link was required for fusion because a gD mutant lacking a transmembrane and cytoplasmic domain was nonfunctional for fusion. The gDgpi mutant was also able to cooperate with wild-type gB, gH, and gL to form syncytia, albeit at a size smaller than those formed in the wild-type situation. The gBgpi and gHgpi mutants were unable to promote fusion when expressed with the other wild-type viral glycoproteins, highlighting the requirement of the specific transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains for gB and gH function.

Abstract
The structure of covalently-linked glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors of membrane proteins displayed on the cell surface is described. Evidence of how the GPI-anchors are sorted into membrane rafts in the plasma membrane is reviewed. Proteins are released by hydrolysis of the linkage to the GPI anchor and phospholipases from different sources involved in this process are characterised. The regulation of protein conformation and function resulting from phospholipase cleavage of the GPI anchor is discussed in the context of its role in signal transduction by insulin. In this signalling system, re-distribution of critical membrane components, including GPI-anchored proteins and non-receptor tyrosine kinases, between different raft domains appears to play a central role in the signal transduction pathway.

Abstract
Cryptosporidium parvum is a protozoan parasite of the intestinal epithelium that has caused numerous outbreaks of diarrheal illness in humans. During our studies of the host immune response to C. parvum infection, we noted that two of the immunodominant surface antigens of the sporozoite stage of the parasite readily extract into Triton X-114. We recently cloned the immunodominant 17-kDa surface antigen and suggested that the carboxy-terminal peptide sequence may satisfy the requirements for GPI anchor addition. In the work presented here, we were able to show that the 17-kDa antigen could be metabolically labeled in vitro with tritiated ethanolamine and that the antigen contained myo-inositol. The antigen was cleaved by GPI-PLD but not by PI-PLC and it could be converted to a water soluble form by chemical deglycosylation. We suggest that the 17-kDa antigen is indeed GPI anchored and that the anchor contains an acylated inositol and either a lyso-acyl- or a diacyl-glycerol. We are currently working to determine what role the anchor may play in the human immune response to this antigen.

Abstract
The characteristic, defining defect in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria is the somatic mutation of the PIG-A gene (essential to the biosynthesis of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol moiety that affixes a number of proteins to the cellular surface) in hematopoietic cells. These cells thus lack the proteins usually held in place by this anchor. The absence of these proteins is the most reliable diagnostic criterion of the disease and is responsible for many of the clinical manifestations of PNH. The current hypothesis explaining the disorder suggests that there are two components: (1) hematopoietic stem cells with the characteristic defect are present in the marrow of many if not all normal individuals in very small numbers; (2) some aplastogenic influence suppresses the normal stem cells but does not suppress the defective stem cells, thus allowing the proportion of these cells to increase. Current research attempts to substantiate this hypothesis and design therapy consistent with the hypothesis. Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is an acquired stem cell disorder characterized by intravascular hemolysis, hypercoagulability, and relative bone marrow failure [1]. It is characterized by a somatic mutation in the gene encoding the alpha1-6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase necessary for the formation of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor that binds certain proteins to the membrane surface (Fig. 1) [2,3*]. Whereas many of the manifestations can be accounted for by the absence of these proteins on the cells of the hematopoietic system, it is not entirely clear whether this defect is sufficient to make the disease manifest. In this paper, the author reviews recent clinical observations and relates them to the underlying pathophysiology of the disease.

Abstract
The enzymatic properties of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase D (EC 3.1.4.50) were characterized using a 6,000-fold purified enzyme. This was obtained in 100 microg amounts from human serum with a recovery of 35%. Pure alkaline phosphatase containing one anchor moiety per molecule was used as substrate. The enzyme is stimulated by n-butanol, but in contrast to other phospholipases this activation is not produced by a transphosphatidylation reaction. The previously reported non-linearity of the specific activity with respect to phospholipase concentration in the test was no longer observed upon purification, indicating inhibitor removal. The serum inhibitor(s) co-chromatograph with serum proteins and lipoproteins. The main part of the inhibitory activity was found in the lipid fraction after protein denaturation and can be subfractionated into acid phospholipids, cholesteryl esters and triacylglycerides. Added phosphatidyl-serine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylglycerol, gangliosides, cholesteryl esters, and sphingomyelins turned out to be strong inhibitors, as well as phosphatidic acid. Phosphatidylethanolamine and various monoacylglycerols were found to be activators. The low glycosylphosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase activity found in native serum did not increase significantly upon 90% removal of phospholipids by n-butanol. High serum concentrations of strongly inhibiting compounds, complex kinetic interactions among aggregates of these substances, and compartmentalization effects are discussed as possible reasons for the observed inactivity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase D (GPI-PLD) may play an important role in inflammation, because it can hydrolyze the GPI anchors of several inflammatory membrane proteins (eg, CD106, CD55, and CD59) and its hydrolytic products upregulate macrophage cytokine expression (eg, interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha). Because of its potential regulatory role in inflammatory reactions, we hypothesized that GPI-PLD might be expressed in atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS Immunohistochemistry using human GPI-PLD-specific rabbit polyclonal antiserum was performed on a total of 83 nonatherosclerotic and atherosclerotic human coronary arteries from 23 patients. Macrophages, smooth muscle cells, apoA-I, and oxidation epitopes also were identified immunohistochemically. Cell-associated GPI-PLD was detected in 95% of atherosclerotic segments, primarily on a subset of macrophages. Extracellular GPI-PLD was present in only 30% of atherosclerotic segments and localized to regions with extracellular apoA-I. In contrast, GPI-PLD was not detected in nonatherosclerotic segments. Expression of GPI-PLD mRNA by human macrophages was confirmed in vitro by reverse transcription/polymerase chain reaction. Further studies demonstrated that GPI-PLD-positive plaque macrophages contained oxidation epitopes, suggesting a link between oxidant stress and GPI-PLD expression. This possibility was supported by studies in which exposure of a macrophage cell line to H2O2 led to a 50+/-3% increase in steady-state GPI-PLD mRNA levels. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, these results suggest that oxidative processes may regulate GPI-PLD expression and suggest a role for GPI-PLD in inflammation and in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) lipids have a structural role as protein anchors to the cell surface. In addition, they are implicated in hormone, growth factor and cytokine signal transduction. Their phosphodiesteric hydrolysis mediated by an activated phospholipase results in the generation of water soluble oligosaccharide species termed the inositol phosphoglycan (IPG). This product has been demonstrated to possess biological properties when added exogenously to cells mimicking the biological effects of a variety of extracellular ligands. This may be accomplished since IPG is generic for a family of closely related species which are released in a tissue-specific manner and additionally have cell-specific targets. Micro-organic synthesis has recently been able to shed new light on this topic by the introduction of defined oligosaccharide analogues of IPG for the assessment of their biological activity. These have complemented the findings observed with purified IPG from biological sources thus strengthening the belief that the GPI/IPG signalling system represents a truly novel aspect of transmembrane signalling.

Abstract
Membrane associated glycosyl-phosphatidylinositols have been shown to be the precursors of inositol phosphoglycan second messengers. Extraction of human liver membranes and purification by serial thin layer chromatography revealed three glycolipids which co-migrated with glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol from rat liver. These lipidic fractions were partially sensitive to treatment with nitrous acid and to hydrolysis by glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase D from bovine serum. In parallel, glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol isolated from rat liver was found to be a substrate for the enzyme generating a biologically active inositol phosphoglycan species (determined by measuring inhibition of protein kinase A activity and stimulation of cell proliferation within the chicken embryo cochleovestibular ganglion). This molecule was recognised by an anti-inositol phosphoglycan antibody. Hence, we propose that glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase D could be implicated in cellular signalling.

Abstract
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase D from mammalian serum has been described to be relatively stable towards the action of proteases in vitro, and it has been speculated that the enzyme may only be active on glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored substrates after its proteolytic processing in an intracellular compartment following uptake from body fluids. To test this hypothesis, we studied the possible uptake and intracellular processing of purified glycosylphosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase D into the mouse neuroblastoma cell line N2A. We found that after incubation of neuroblastoma cells with glycosylphosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase D at 37 degrees C the amount of cell-associated glycosylphosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase D activity increased in a concentration- and time-dependent way. A similar uptake was also observed with 125I-labeled intact and trypsin-treated form of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase D. We found that the incorporated radiolabeled proteins were processed intracellularly to distinct low molecular mass products, and that this process was in part inhibited by the presence of chloroquine during incubation.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) from Bacillus cereus is inhibited by myo-inositol-1-O-dodecylphosphonate (Ins-1-O-dodecylphosphonate) (Morris, J. C., Ping-Sheng, L., Shen, T. Y., and Mensa-Wilmot, K.(1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 2517-2524). A set of novel fluorinated 2-deoxy-Ins-1-O-dodecylphosphonates were tested against PI-PLC, with potent competitive inhibition by 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-scyllo-Ins-1-O-dodecylphosphonate (VP-616L) (Xi(50) = 0.09). 2-Deoxy-2-fluoro-myo-Ins-1-O-dodecylphosphonate and 2-deoxy-2,2-difluoro-myo-Ins-1-O-dodecylphosphonate were 8.3-fold and 4.8-fold less effective, respectively, than VP-616L. Methyl 2-deoxy-2,2-difluoro-myo-Ins-1-O-dodecylphosphonate was inactive. Also, a hundredfold less PI-PLC is required to cleave a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) than is needed to cleave PI. Implied in these observations are the following: (i) in powerful inhibitors an active site residue probably interacts with the equatorially oriented fluoro substituent; (ii) substrate recognition requires a negative charge on the phosphoryl at the Ins-1 position, and (iii) a GPI is better substrate than PI, for PI-PLC. Aminoglycoside antibiotics kanamycin A, gentamycin, and G418 stimulated PI-PLC cleavage of the GPI anchor of variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) from Trypanosoma brucei 2- to 4-fold. G418, which appears to act on the enzyme.substrate complex, increased kcat and Km 6.4-fold and 9.9-fold, respectively. PI-PLC was activated by G418 even in the presence of the inhibitor VP-616L. In control experiments, the lectin concanavalin A (ConA), which probably acts by substrate sequestration, inhibited both PI-PLC (Xi(50) = 0.00025) and GPI-specific phospholipase D (Xi(50) = 0.00018). G418 failed to activate PI-PLC when ConA was present. These observations indicate that G418 is an allosteric activator of Bacillus cereus PI-PLC. Since G418 stimulates a purified enzyme that is not involved in aminoglycoside metabolism, we propose that binding of aminoglycosides to cellular proteins could contribute to the development of the nephrotoxicity associated with the use of these aminoglycoside antibiotics.

Abstract
Cleavage by the GPI-PLD provides definitive evidence of a minimal GPI structure: glucosamine-phosphatidylinositol. Unlike the case for PI-PLC, cleavage by the GPI-PLD is unaffected by acylation of the inositol ring. Thus the GPI-PLD provides an excellent simple enzymatic tool for analyzing the basic core structure of GPI anchors.
