Abstract
Coordinated cell polarization in developing tissues is a recurrent theme in multicellular organisms. In plants, a directional distribution of the plant hormone auxin is at the core of many developmental programs. A feedback regulation of auxin on the polarized localization of PIN auxin transporters in individual cells has been proposed as a self-organizing mechanism for coordinated tissue polarization, but the molecular mechanisms linking auxin signalling to PIN-dependent auxin transport remain unknown. We used a microarray-based approach to find regulators of the auxin-induced PIN relocation in Arabidopsis thaliana root, and identified a subset of a family of phosphatidylinositol transfer proteins (PITPs), the PATELLINs (PATLs). Here, we show that PATLs are expressed in partially overlapping cell types in different tissues going through mitosis or initiating differentiation programs. PATLs are plasma membrane-associated proteins accumulated in Arabidopsis embryos, primary roots, lateral root primordia and developing stomata. Higher order patl mutants display reduced PIN1 repolarization in response to auxin, shorter root apical meristem, and drastic defects in embryo and seedling development. This suggests that PATLs play a redundant and crucial role in polarity and patterning in Arabidopsis.

Abstract
An unresolved problem in biological signal transduction is how particular branches of highly interconnected signaling networks can be decoupled, allowing activation of specific circuits within complex signaling architectures. Although signaling dynamics and spatiotemporal mechanisms serve critical roles, it remains unclear if these are the only ways cells achieve specificity within networks. The transcription factor Steroidogenic Factor-1 (SF-1) is an excellent model to address this question, as it forms dynamic complexes with several chemically distinct lipid species (phosphatidylinositols, phosphatidylcholines and sphingolipids). This property is important since lipids bound to SF-1 are modified by lipid signaling enzymes (IPMK & PTEN), regulating SF-1 biological activity in gene expression. Thus, a particular SF-1/lipid complex can interface with a lipid signaling enzyme only if SF-1 has been loaded with a chemically compatible lipid substrate. This mechanism permits dynamic downstream responsiveness to constant upstream input, disentangling specific pathways from the full network. The potential of this paradigm to apply generally to nuclear lipid signaling is discussed, with particular attention given to the nuclear receptor superfamily of transcription factors and their phospholipid ligands.

Abstract
The transport of lipids from their synthesis site at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to different target membranes could be mediated by both vesicular and nonvesicular transport mechanisms. Nonvesicular lipid transport appears to be the major transport route of certain lipid species, and could be mediated by either spontaneous lipid transport or by lipid-transfer proteins (LTPs). Although nonvesicular lipid transport has been extensively studied for more than four decades, its underlying mechanism, advantage and regulation, have not been fully explored. In particular, the function of LTPs and their involvement in intracellular lipid movement remain largely controversial. In this article, we describe the pathways by which lipids are synthesized at the ER and delivered to different cellular membranes, and discuss the role of LTPs in lipid transport both in vitro and in intact cells.

Abstract
AKR1B10 (aldo-keto reductase family 1, member B10) protein is primarily expressed in normal human small intestine and colon, but overexpressed in several types of human cancers and considered as a tumour marker. In the present study, we found that AKR1B10 protein is secreted from normal intestinal epithelium and cultured cancer cells, as detected by a newly developed sandwich ELISA and Western blotting. The secretion of AKR1B10 was not affected by the protein-synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide and the classical protein-secretion pathway inhibitor brefeldin A, but was stimulated by temperature, ATP, Ca(2+) and the Ca(2+) carrier ionomycin, lysosomotropic NH(4)Cl, the G-protein activator GTPγS and the G-protein coupling receptor N-formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine. The ADP-ribosylation factor inhibitor 2-(4-fluorobenzoylamino)-benzoic acid methyl ester and the phospholipase C inhibitor U73122 inhibited the secretion of AKR1B10. In cultured cells, AKR1B10 was present in lysosomes and was secreted with cathepsin D, a lysosomal marker. In the intestine, AKR1B10 was specifically expressed in mature epithelial cells and secreted into the lumen at 188.6-535.7 ng/ml of ileal fluids (mean=298.1 ng/ml, n=11). Taken together, our results demonstrate that AKR1B10 is a new secretory protein belonging to a lysosome-mediated non-classical protein-secretion pathway and is a potential serum marker.

Abstract
Surface potential of lipid membranes made of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and one of the phosphoinositides (PPI); PI, PIP or PIP(2), was studied by using the electrophoretic mobility of these lipid membrane vesicles, and a theoretical model of the surface potential developed for these membranes containing PPIs. By using the measured zeta-potential for the PI/PC membranes and a well-known surface potential theory, the inositol ring of the PI molecule was found to extend into the aqueous phase approximately normal to the membrane surface for various PI/PC ratios investigated. The outer edge of the inositol ring is located at about 5.2A from the phosphate group conjugated with the glycerol of the phospholipids. The inositol group was slightly tilted from the membrane normal direction. For both PIP/PC and PIP(2)/PC membranes, the analyses of surface potential using the measured zeta-potential values and the surface potential theory which was developed for these membranes gave consistent results with respect to the slipping layer distance from the second surface charge layer. The conclusion is that the experimental data can be fairly well resolved by using a linearized Poisson-Boltzmann surface potential equation set up for a PPI/PC membrane model up to a certain concentration of PPI in PC membranes. Our theoretical model made for these membrane surface potentials seems to be reasonable for analysis of electrical surface phenomena for these PPI/PC membranes containing small concentrations of PPI molecules.

Abstract
Background Accumulating evidences suggest that Hsp 70, the inducible component of Hsp70 family, might release from a living cell. Here we show that a pharmacological inhibitor of phospholipase C activity U73122 caused a 2–4 fold reduction of an intracellular level of Hsp70 in A431 human carcinoma cells. Results A depletion of Hsp70 under U73122 was a result of the protein release since it was detected in cell culture medium, as was established by immunoprecipitation and precipitation with ATP-agarose. The reduction of Hsp70 level was specifically attributed to the inhibition of PLC, since the non-active inhibitor, U73343, had no effect on Hsp70 level. The PLC-dependent decrease of Hsp70 intracellular level was accompanied by the enhanced sensitivity of A431 cells to the apoptogenic effect of hydrogen peroxide. Here for the first time we demonstrated one of the possibilities for a cell to export Hsp70 in PLC-dependent manner. Conclusion From our data we suggest that phospholipase C inhibition is one of the possible mechanisms of Hsp70 release from cells.

Abstract
Here, we compare the regulation and localization of the Arabidopsis type III phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 4-kinases, AtPI4Kalpha1 and AtPI4Kbeta1, in Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) insect cells. We also explore the role of the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain in regulating AtPI4Kalpha1. Recombinant kinase activity was found to be differentially sensitive to PtdIns-4-phosphate (PtdIns4P), the product of the reaction. The specific activity of AtPI4Kalpha1 was inhibited 70% by 0.5 mm PtdIns4P. The effect of PtdIns4P was not simply due to charge because AtPI4Kalpha1 activity was stimulated approximately 50% by equal concentrations of the other negatively charged lipids, PtdIns3P, phosphatidic acid, and phosphatidyl-serine. Furthermore, inhibition of AtPI4Kalpha1 by PtdIns4P could be alleviated by adding recombinant AtPI4Kalpha1 PH domain, which selectively binds to PtdIns4P (Stevenson et al., 1998). In contrast, the specific activity of AtPI4Kbeta1, which does not have a PH domain, was stimulated 2-fold by PtdIns4P but not other negatively charged lipids. Visualization of green fluorescent protein fusion proteins in insect cells revealed that AtPI4Kalpha1 was associated primarily with membranes in the perinuclear region, whereas AtPI4Kbeta1 was in the cytosol and associated with small vesicles throughout the cytoplasm. Expression of AtPI4Kalpha1 without the PH domain in the insect cells compromised PtdIns 4-kinase activity and caused mislocalization of the kinase. The green fluorescent protein-PH domain alone was associated with intracellular membranes and the plasma membrane. In vitro, the PH domain appeared to be necessary for association of AtPI4Kalpha1 with fine actin filaments. These studies support the idea that the Arabidopsis type III PtdIns 4-kinases are responsible for distinct phosphoinositide pools.

Abstract
Mast cells permeabilized by streptolysin O undergo exocytosis when stimulated with Ca(2+) and guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate but become progressively refractory to this stimulus if it is delayed. This run-down of responsiveness occurs over a period of 20-30 min, during which the cells leak soluble and tethered proteins. We show here that withdrawal of ATP during the process of run-down is strongly inhibitory but that as little as 25 microM ATP can extend responsiveness significantly; this effect is maximal at 50 microM. When phosphatidylinositol transfer proteins (PITPs) are provided to cells at the time of permeabilization, run-down is retarded. We conclude that in the presence of ATP they convey substrates for phosphorylation that are essential for exocytosis and thus interact with the regulatory machinery. Furthermore, we show that PITPalpha and PITPbeta have additive effects in this mechanism, suggesting that they are not functionally redundant. Alternatively, secretion from run-down cells can be inhibited by the aminoglycoside antibiotic neomycin, which is understood to bind to phosphoinositide headgroups, and by a PH (pleckstrin homology) domain polypeptide that binds phosphoinositides. The apparent displacement of neomycin by exogenous PITPs suggests that these proteins screen essential lipids. Secretion from run-down cells is also inhibited by 1-O-hexadecyl-2-O-methyl-rac-glycerol (AMG-C(16)), an inhibitor of protein kinase C. The lack of synergy between neomycin and AMG-C(16) suggests that protein kinase C independently provides a second essential component through protein phosphorylation and that there are two independent phosphorylation pathways necessary for secretion competence.

Abstract
The 43 kDa inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase (5-phosphatase) hydrolyses the signalling molecules inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P(3)) and inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (Ins(1,3,4, 5)P(4)) in a signal-terminating reaction. We have utilised cell lines that stably underexpress the 43 kDa 5-phosphatase, as a model system to investigate whether Ins(1,4,5)P(3) can control the rate of its own formation by regulating the resupply of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P(2)). A sustained 2.6-fold elevation in the basal concentration of Ins(1,4,5)P(3), in cell lines underexpressing the 43 kDa 5-phosphatase, correlated with a 32% reduction in the total cellular mass of PtdIns(4,5)P(2). The depletion in cellular PtdIns(4,5)P(2) was confined to a Triton-insoluble cell compartment, enriched in caveolin. In resting cells with elevated Ins(1,4,5)P(3) concentrations resulting from underexpression of the 43 kDa 5-phosphatase, phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns(4)P) were depleted by 50% and PtdIns(4,5)P(2) by 61% in the caveolin-enriched Triton-insoluble compartment. Agonist stimulation resulted in the rapid turnover of phosphoinositides in the caveolin-enriched Triton-insoluble fraction of vector-transfected cells, but not in cells with high basal Ins(1,4,5)P(3) concentrations. Depletion of phosphoinositides from the caveolin-enriched Triton-insoluble pool in cells underexpressing the 43 kDa 5-phosphatase did not result from activation of phospholipase C isoenzymes, or inhibition of PtdIns 4-kinase or PtdIns(4)P 5-kinase activities. Significant inhibition of phosphatidylinositol transfer protein (PITP) activity (up to 70%) was observed in cells with elevated basal Ins(1,4,5)P(3) concentrations; however, no reduction in PITP(α) protein expression was detected. These studies indicate that chronic elevation in cellular Ins(1,4,5)P(3) concentrations decreases the PITP-mediated resupply of phosphoinositides in the caveolin-enriched agonist-sensitive pool.

Abstract
The charge isomers of bovine brain PI-TPalpha (i.e. PI-TPalphaI containing a phosphatidylinositol (PI) molecule and PI-TPalphaII containing a phosphatidylcholine (PC) molecule) were phosphorylated in vitro by rat brain protein kinase C (PKC) at different rates. From the double-reciprocal plot, it was estimated that the V(max) values for PI-TPalphaI and II were 2.0 and 6.0 nmol/min, respectively; the K(m) values for both charge isomers were about equal, i.e. 0.7 micrometer. Phosphorylation of charge isomers of recombinant mouse PI-TPalpha confirmed that the PC-containing isomer was the better substrate. Phosphoamino acid analysis of in vitro and in vivo (32)P-labeled PI-TPalphas showed that serine was the major site of phosphorylation. Degradation of (32)P-labeled PI-TPalpha by cyanogen bromide followed by high pressure liquid chromatography and sequence analysis yielded one (32)P-labeled peptide (amino acids 104-190). This peptide contained Ser-148, Ser-152, and the consensus PKC phosphorylation site Ser-166. Replacement of Ser-166 with an alanine residue confirmed that indeed this residue was the site of phosphorylation. This mutation completely abolished PI and PC transfer activity. This was also observed when Ser-166 was replaced with Asp, implying that this is a key amino acid residue in regulating the function of PI-TPalpha. Stimulation of NIH3T3 fibroblasts by phorbol ester or platelet-derived growth factor induced the rapid relocalization of PI-TPalpha to perinuclear Golgi structures concomitant with a 2-3-fold increase in lysophosphatidylinositol levels. This relocalization was also observed for Myc-tagged wtPI-TPalpha expressed in NIH3T3 cells. In contrast, the distribution of Myc-tagged PI-TPalpha(S166A) and Myc-tagged PI-TPalpha(S166D) were not affected by phorbol ester, suggesting that phosphorylation of Ser-166 was a prerequisite for the relocalization to the Golgi. A model is proposed in which the PKC-dependent phosphorylation of PI-TPalpha is linked to the degradation of PI.

Abstract
Derivatives of the sodium salt of dimyristoylphosphatidylinositol (DMPI) have been synthesized specifically deuterated in the headgroup. A 50:50 (molar) mixture of DMPI with dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) hydrated to the level of 16 waters/lipid gives a biomembrane-like Lalpha phase at 50 degrees C. Comparison of the neutron diffraction scattering profiles for deuterated and undeuterated membranes allowed the depth of each deuterium (hydrogen) within the bilayer to be determined to +/-0.5 A. This gave the orientation of the inositol ring which lies more-or-less along the bilayer normal projecting directly out into the water. This orientation is similar to that of the sugar residue in glycolipids and confirms previous models for PI. On the assumption that the (P)O-DAG bond is more-or-less parallel to the bilayer normal, it is consistent with a roughly trans, trans, trans, gauche- conformation for the glyceryl-phosphate-inositol link. In the case of DMPI, it is the C4-hydroxy group which is most fully extended into the water layer, but when this is phosphorylated, the inositol ring turns over and tilts so that the C5-hydroxy group is now the one furthest extended into the water layer. Hence, at each stage in the pathway PI --> PI-4P --> PI-4,5-P2, it is the hydroxy position most exposed to the water which undergoes phosphorylation. Whereas the orientation of the inositol ring in DMPI can be seen simply as maximizing its hydration, the tilt of the ring in DMPI-4P cannot be explained in this way. It is suggested that it is due to an electrostatic interaction.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol transfer proteins (PITP) are abundant cytosolic proteins found in all mammalian cells. Two cytosolic isoforms of 35 and 36 kDa (PITP alpha and PITP beta) have been identified which share 77% identity. These proteins are characterized by having a single phospholipid binding site which exhibits dual headgroup specificity. The preferred lipid that can occupy the site can be either phosphatidylinositol (PI) or phosphatidylcholine (PC). In addition, PITP beta can also bind sphingomyelin. A second characteristic of these proteins is the ability to transfer PI and PC (or SM) from one membrane compartment to another in vitro. The function of PITP in mammalian cells has been examined mainly using reconstitution studies utilizing semi-intact cells or cell-free systems. From such analyses, a requirement for PITP has been identified in phospholipase C-mediated phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) hydrolysis, in phosphoinositide 3-kinase catalyzed PIP3 generation, in regulated exocytosis, in the biogenesis of secretory granules and vesicles and in intra-golgi transport. Studies aimed at elucidating the mechanism of action of PITP in each of these seemingly disparate processes have yielded a singular theme: the activity of PITP stems from its ability to transfer PI from its site of synthesis to sites of cellular activity. This function was predicted from its in vitro characteristics. The second feature of PITP that was not predicted is the ability to stimulate the local synthesis of several phosphorylated forms of PI including PI(4)P, PI(4,5)P2, PI(3)P, PI(3,4,5)P3 by presenting PI to the lipid kinases involved in phosphoinositide synthesis. We conclude that PITP contributes in multiple aspects of cell biology ranging from signal transduction to membrane trafficking events where a central role for phosphoinositides is recognized either as a substrate or as an intact lipid signalling molecule.

Abstract
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae open reading frame YNL231C was recently found to be controlled by the multiple drug resistance regulator Pdr1p. Here we characterize YNL231C (PDR16) and its homologue YNL264C (PDR17). Deletion of PDR16 resulted in hypersensitivity of yeast to azole inhibitors of ergosterol biosynthesis. While no increase in drug sensitivity was found upon deletion of PDR17 alone, a Deltapdr16,Deltapdr17 double mutant was hypersensitive to a broad range of drugs. Both mutations caused significant changes of the lipid composition of plasma membrane and total cell extracts. Deletion of PDR16 had pronounced effects on the sterol composition, whereas PDR17 deletion mainly affected the phospholipid composition. Thus, Pdr16p and Pdr17p may regulate yeast lipid synthesis like their distant homologue, Sec14p. The azole sensitivity of the PDR16-deleted strain may be the result of imbalanced ergosterol synthesis. Impaired plasma membrane barrier function resulting from a change in the lipid composition appears to cause the increased drug sensitivity of the double mutant strain Deltapdr16,Deltapdr17. The uptake rate of rhodamine-6-G into de-energized cells was shown to be almost 2-fold increased in a Deltapdr16,Deltapdr17 strain as compared with wild-type and Deltapdr5 strains. Collectively, our results indicate that PDR16 and PDR17 control levels of various lipids in various compartments of the cell and thereby provide a mechanism for multidrug resistance unrecognized so far.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol transfer protein (PITP) was originally identified and named because of its ability to transport phosphatidylinositol through the aqueous phase from one membrane compartment to another. Recent data, however, indicate unanticipated roles for PITP in the coupling of PIP2 synthesis to signal transduction reactions and to membrane traffic in mammalian cells. PITP was recently purified on the basis of its ability to restore cellular functions in permeabilized cells depleted of cytosolic proteins. These functions include cell-surface receptor-regulated hydrolysis of PIP2 by phospholipases C beta- and gamma-isozymes, regulated release of secretory granules, and the budding of constitutive secretory vesicles and immature secretory granules from the trans-Golgi network. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a PITP was identified from a mutant strain with a defect in the secretory pathway (SEC14) and therefore required for cell viability; in Yarrowia lipolytica, PITP is required for differentiation from a yeast to a mycelial growth form. We are just beginning to unravel the intriguing mechanisms by which PITP/SEC14 may accomplish its function in eukaryotic cells in signal transduction and membrane trafficking.
