Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) lipids have been shown to stabilize an active conformation of class A G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) through a conserved binding site, not present in class B GPCRs. For class B GPCRs, previous molecular dynamics (MD) simulation studies have shown PI(4,5)P2 interacting with the Glucagon receptor (GCGR), which constitutes an important target for diabetes and obesity therapeutics. In this work, we applied MD simulations supported by native mass spectrometry (nMS) to study lipid interactions with GCGR. We demonstrate how tail composition plays a role in modulating the binding of PI(4,5)P2 lipids to GCGR. Specifically, we find the PI(4,5)P2 lipids to have a higher affinity toward the inactive conformation of GCGR. Interestingly, we find that in contrast to class A GPCRs, PI(4,5)P2 appear to stabilize the inactive conformation of GCGR through a binding site conserved across class B GPCRs but absent in class A GPCRs. This suggests differences in the regulatory function of PI(4,5)P2 between class A and class B GPCRs.

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

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

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

Abstract
Enhanced prostaglandin production promotes the development and progression of cancer. Prostaglandins are generated from arachidonic acid (AA) by the action of cyclooxygenase (COX) isoenzymes. However, how cancer cells are able to maintain an elevated supply of AA for prostaglandin production remains unclear. Here, by using lung cancer cell lines and clinically relevant KrasG12D-driven mouse models, we show that the long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase (ACSL3) channels AA into phosphatidylinositols to provide the lysophosphatidylinositol-acyltransferase 1 (LPIAT1) with a pool of AA to sustain high prostaglandin synthesis. LPIAT1 knockdown suppresses proliferation and anchorage-independent growth of lung cancer cell lines, and hinders in vivo tumorigenesis. In primary human lung tumors, the expression of LPIAT1 is elevated compared with healthy tissue, and predicts poor patient survival. This study uncovers the ACSL3-LPIAT1 axis as a requirement for the sustained prostaglandin synthesis in lung cancer with potential therapeutic value.

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

Abstract
Phospholipase C (PLC) is a receptor-regulated enzyme that hydrolyses phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) at the plasma membrane (PM) triggering three biochemical consequences, the generation of soluble inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), membrane-associated diacylglycerol (DG) and the consumption of PM PI(4,5)P2 Each of these three signals triggers multiple molecular processes impacting key cellular properties. The activation of PLC also triggers a sequence of biochemical reactions, collectively referred to as the PI(4,5)P2 cycle that culminates in the resynthesis of this lipid. The biochemical intermediates of this cycle and the enzymes that mediate these reactions are topologically distributed across two membrane compartments, the PM and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). At the PM, the DG formed during PLC activation is rapidly converted into phosphatidic acid (PA) that needs to be transported to the ER where the machinery for its conversion into PI is localised. Conversely, PI from the ER needs to be rapidly transferred to the PM where it can be phosphorylated by lipid kinases to regenerate PI(4,5)P2 Thus, two lipid transport steps between membrane compartments through the cytosol are required for the replenishment of PI(4,5)P2 at the PM. Here, we review the topological constraints in the PI(4,5)P2 cycle and current understanding how these constraints are overcome during PLC signalling. In particular, we discuss the role of lipid transfer proteins in this process. Recent findings on the biochemical properties of a membrane-associated lipid transfer protein of the PITP family, PITPNM proteins (alternative name RdgBα/Nir proteins) that localise to membrane contact sites are discussed. Studies in both Drosophila and mammalian cells converge to provide a resolution to the conundrum of reciprocal transfer of PA and PI during PLC signalling.

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

Abstract
Arachidonic acid (AA) is remarkably enriched in phosphatidylinositol (PI). Studies using knockout mice of lysophosphatidylinositol acyltransferase 1, which selectively incorporates AA into PI, reveal that AA-containing PI plays a crucial role in cortical lamination and neuronal migration during brain development. Dietary arachidonic acid (AA) has roles in growth, neuronal development, and cognitive function in infants. AA is remarkably enriched in phosphatidylinositol (PI), an important constituent of biological membranes in mammals; however, the physiological significance of AA-containing PI remains unknown. In an RNA interference–based genetic screen using Caenorhabditis elegans, we recently cloned mboa-7 as an acyltransferase that selectively incorporates AA into PI. Here we show that lysophosphatidylinositol acyltransferase 1 (LPIAT1, also known as MBOAT7), the closest mammalian homologue, plays a crucial role in brain development in mice. Lpiat1−/− mice show almost no LPIAT activity with arachidonoyl-CoA as an acyl donor and show reduced AA contents in PI and PI phosphates. Lpiat1−/− mice die within a month and show atrophy of the cerebral cortex and hippocampus. Immunohistochemical analysis reveals disordered cortical lamination and delayed neuronal migration in the cortex of E18.5 Lpiat1−/− mice. LPIAT1 deficiency also causes disordered neuronal processes in the cortex and reduced neurite outgrowth in vitro. Taken together, these results demonstrate that AA-containing PI/PI phosphates play an important role in normal cortical lamination during brain development in mice.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol (PI) is a constituent of biomembranes and a precursor of all phosphoinositides (PIPs). A prominent characteristic of PI is that its sn-2 position is highly enriched in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), such as arachidonic acid or eicosapentaenoic acid. However, the biological significance of PUFA-containing PI remains unknown. We previously identified Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) mboa-7 as an acyltransferase that incorporates PUFAs into the sn-2 position of PI. In this study, we performed an RNAi enhancer screen against PI kinases and phosphatases using mboa-7 mutants that have a reduced PUFA content in PI. Among the genes tested, knockdown of vps-34, a catalytic subunit of class III PI 3-kinase that produces PI 3-phosphate (PI3P) from PI, caused severe growth defects in mboa-7 mutants. In both vps-34 RNAi-treated wild-type worms and mboa-7 mutants, the size of PI3P-positive early endosomes was significantly decreased. We also performed an RNAi enhancer screen against PI3P-related genes and found that, like knockdown of vps-34, knockdown of autophagy-related genes caused severe growth defects in mboa-7 mutants. Finally, we showed that autophagic clearance of protein aggregates is impaired in mboa-7 mutants. Taken together, these results suggest that the PUFA chain in PI has a role in some PI3P signaling.

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

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

Abstract
The incorporation of exogenous fatty acids bound to L-FABP into nuclei was studied. Rat liver cell nuclei and nuclear matrices (membrane depleted nuclei) were incubated in vitro with [1-(14)C]18:0 and 20:4n-6 either free or bound to L-FABP, ATP and CoA. FA esterification in whole nuclei and endonuclear lipids was ATP-CoA-dependent, and with specificity regarding fatty acid type and lipid class. 18:0 and 20:4n-6, free or L-FABP bound, showed the same incorporation and esterification pattern in lipids of whole nuclei. Only 20:4n-6 L-FABP bound was less incorporated into TAG with respect to free 20:4n-6. In the nuclear matrix, 18:0 free or L-FABP bound was esterified with a higher specific activity (SA) into: PtdEtn > PtdIns, PtdSer > PtdCho. 20:4n-6 free or L-FABP bound was esterified into: PtdIns > PtdEtn > PtdCho. 20:4n-6:L-FABP was esterified in endonuclear total-PL and PtdIns with a greater SA with respect to free 20:4n-6 and with a minor one as FFA. To summarize, trafficking of FA to nuclei includes esterification of 18:0 and 20:4n-6 either free or L-FABP-bound, into nuclear and endonuclear lipids by an ATP-CoA-dependent pathway. Endonuclear fatty acid esterification was more active than that in whole nuclei, and independent of the nuclear membrane. Esterification patterns of fatty acids L-FABP-bound or free into whole nuclear lipids were the same whereas in the nuclear matrix, L-FABP could play an important role in the mobilization of 20:4n-6 into specific sites of utilization such as the PtdIns pools.

Abstract
Mammalian phosphatidylinositol transfer protein alpha (PITP) is an intracellular lipid transporter with a binding site that can accommodate a single molecule of phosphatidylinositol (PI) or phosphatidylcholine (PC). Phospholipids are a heterogeneous population of molecular species that can be distinguished by their characteristic headgroups as well as their acyl chains at the sn-1 and sn-2 position. In this study, we have defined the acyl chain preference for PITPalpha when presented with a total population of cellular lipids. Recombinant PITPalpha loaded with bacterial lipid, phosphatidylglycerol (PG), was incubated with permeabilised HL60 cells, followed by recovery of PITPalpha by affinity chromatography. Lipids extracted from the PITPalpha were analysed by tandem electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and showed total exchange of acquired bacterial lipids for HL60 cellular PI and PC. Detailed comparison of the molecular species composition of bound phospholipids with those in whole cells permitted the assessment of selectivity of acyl chain binding. For both phospholipid classes, progressive fractional enrichments in bound species possessing shorter acyl chains were apparent with a preference order: 16:1>16:0>18:1>18:0>20:4. A recapitulation of this specificity order was also seen from a dramatically altered range of molecular species present in HL60 cells enriched with arachidonate over many weeks of culture. We speculate that short-chain, saturate-binding preferences under both conditions may reflect properties in vivo. This is consistent with target cell membranes actively remodelling newly delivered phospholipids after transport rather than relying on the transport of the specific molecular species conventionally found in mammalian membranes.

Abstract
The simultaneous incorporation of a saturated fatty acid in the sn-1 position and an unsaturated fatty acid in the sn-2 position in phosphatidylcholine (PC) and ethanolamine (PE) was studied in isolated liver cells. We combined a saturated fatty acid, 16:0 or 18:0 and an unsaturated fatty acid substrate, 18:2,n-6 or 20:4,n-6. In this situation the saturated fatty acids were preferentially oxidized and the unsaturated fatty acids were preferentially esterified in PL and TG. Addition of unlabelled 16:0 increased the incorporation of [14C]18:2 in 16:0-18:2 in PC and PE, reduced the incorporation in 18:2-18:2 but did not reduce the incorporation in 18:0-18:2. 18:0 increased the esterification of [14C]18:2 in 18:0-18:2, reduced the incorporation in 18:2-18:2 but did not reduce the incorporation in 16:0-18:2. The latter is the dominating 14C-labelled species formed from [14C]18:2 also in the presence of unlabelled 18:0. Addition of 20:4 stimulated the incorporation of [14C]16:0 in 16:0-20:4 and markedly reduced the formation of 16:0-18:2, 16:0-18:1 and 16:0-22:6. Addition of 18:2 increased the incorporation of [14C]16:0 in 16:0-18:2 and reduced the formation of 16:0-20:4 and 16:0-18:1. It is concluded that the unsaturated fatty acids 18:2 or 20:4 have a stronger impact on the synthesis of phospholipid molecular species than the saturated fatty acids 16:0 or 18:0 have. Thus 20:4,n-6 and 18:2,n-6 are able to direct available [14C]16:0 or [14C]18:0 to the sn-1 position. 16:0 and 18:0 are not in the same way able to direct [14C]18:2,n-6 to the synthesis of 16:0-18:2 or 18:0-18:2 at the expense of other 14C-labelled molecular species.

Abstract
The incorporation of [1-14C]16:0 and [1-14C]18:0 in the molecular species of PC and PE in isolated rat liver cells was studied. More [14C]18:0 than [14C]16:0 was esterified both in PC and PE. Also the chain elongated and desaturated products (16:1, 18:0 and 18:1) were incorporated. The main molecular phospholipid species formed from [14C]18:0 were 18:0-18:2, 18:0-20:4 and 18:0-22:6. 18:0-18:0 species was not detected, independent of the substrate concentration (0.1-0.9 mM). With [14C]16:0 at low substrate concentration (0.1 mM) the dominating species are 16:0-18:2, 16:0-20:4 and 16:0-22:6. These species were detected already after 10 min. The same main species are formed both in PC and PE, but the relative amounts differ. In PC the combination with 18:2 is most abundant for both saturated fatty acid substrates. In PE 18:0-20:4 dominates when 18:0 is the substrate, and 16:0-22:6 when 16:0 is. At higher substrate concentrations (0.4-0.9 mM) 16:0 is also esterified in 16:0-16:0. This molecular species is efficiently degraded in the cells within 2-3 h, in contrast to the other species formed. The results suggest that 16:0 and 18:0 are directly incorporated in the sn-1 position in physiologically important phospholipid molecular species. With an excess of 16:0, 16:0-16:0 is also formed in substantial amounts, but this uncommon species is thereafter removed.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol (PI) is synthesized from cytidine-diphosphodiacylglycerol (CDP-DAG) and inositol by the enzyme PI synthase. CDP-DAG is itself synthesized from phosphatidic acid and CTP. The observation that PI differs in fatty acid composition from its precursors CDP-DAG and phosphatidic acid led to the proposal that following its synthesis the fatty acids of PI are removed and replaced by others in a process called fatty acid remodelling. Previously, we used rat liver microsomes to study the molecular mechanisms of PI remodelling. Following its synthesis, PI is rapidly deacylated to form lysoPI which is reacylated to form new PI species. PI remodelling occurs predominantly at the 1-position. We demonstrate here that lysoPI can be acylated in the 1-position in an ATP-independent manner. The acylation of 2-acyl lysoPI by the coenzyme A-dependent, ATP-independent mechanism was examined. The acylation exhibits a pH optimum of 7.5, does not require a divalent cation, and is not inhibited by Ca2+ or Mg2+, although Zn2+ is a potent inhibitor. The apparent Km values for coenzyme A and 2-acyl lysoPI are 14 microM and 30 microM, respectively. The acylation of 2-acyl lysoPI incorporates primarily stearic acid into the 1-position of PI, as would be expected based on the fatty acid composition of steady-state PI in rat hepatocytes.

Abstract
In mammalian cells, newly synthesized phosphatidylinositol (PI) has a fatty acid composition similar to its precursors, phosphatidic acid and CDP-diacylglycerol (DAG). It is then remodelled by deacylation/reacylation cycles to the predominant form, 1-stearoyl, 2-arachidonoyl PI. Incubation of dipalmitoyl CDP-DAG, [3H]inositol and Mg2+ with rat liver microsomes results in the rapid synthesis of PI, along with the simultaneous formation of multiple species of lysoPI. Analysis of the kinetics of formation of PI and lysoPI reveals no lag in the formation of lysoPI from PI. Moreover, evaluation of the concentration dependencies indicate nearly identical apparent Km values for PI synthesis compared with lysoPI synthesis for the substrates inositol (180 microM) and CDP-DAG (100 microM). The dependence on pH and the requirement for Mg2+ or Mn2+ are nearly identical for PI and lysoPI formation and the labelling of both lipids is similarly inhibited by submicromolar concentrations of calcium and by NEM. These results suggest that the formation of lysoPI is dependent on the initial, rate-limiting synthesis of PI. Pulse-chase analysis of the labelling of these lipids indicates that PI and lysoPI rapidly equilibrate after the initial slow synthesis of PI. In addition, it appears that only newly synthesized PI is involved in lysoPI formation. The extent of lysoPI formation depends upon the fatty acid composition of the added CDP-DAG. A number of experimental approaches demonstrate that lysoPI is not formed when pre-existing microsomal PI is labelled by head group exchange, perhaps because this PI has already undergone remodelling to polyenoic forms. These data suggest that the rapid deacylation of newly synthesized PI may represent the first step in PI remodeling.

Abstract
The de novo synthesis of molecular species of phosphatidylinositol (PI) from endogenously labeled CDP diacylglycerol (CDP-DG) and phosphatidic acid (PA), with [14C]-glycerol 3-phosphate, in microsomes of macrophages was studied using a recently developed HPLC technique. Endogenously labeled PA, CDP-DG, and PI were sequentially formed from labeled glycerol 3-phosphate through the addition of CoA, CTP, and then inositol into microsomes. The rate of formation of CDP-DG from endogenously labeled PA was low as compared with those of PA and PI. The low rate of CDP-DG synthesis suggests that it may be the rate-limiting step in the de novo synthesis of PI. Analysis of newly synthesized molecular species of PI by HPLC revealed that large proportions of radioactivity were associated with the 16:0-18:1, 16:0-18:2, 18:1-18:2, and 18:2-18:2 species, and a small amount, 2-3%, of radioactivity was associated with the 18:0-20:4 species. The profiles of newly synthesized PA and CDP-DG species were quite similar to those of PI species. This suggests that the enzymes involved in the formation of PI species from glycerol 3-phosphate show little specificity toward different molecular species of substrates. The results of the present study also suggest that free fatty acid composition in microsomes greatly affect the composition of the molecular species of PI synthesized through the de novo pathway, since the proportion of fatty acids utilized for the de novo synthesis of PI species was similar to that of free fatty acids in the microsomal membrane.

Abstract
There were no differences in the rate or amount of (1-14C)-labeled arachidonic acid incorporated into triacylglycerides, diacylglycerides, or any phospholipid species of freshly dispersed term human amnion cells obtained before or after labor. Both phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine incorporated 14C-arachidonic acid in proportion to their molar percent of total amnion phospholipids, but phosphatidylinositol incorporated three times as much 14C-arachidonic acid, suggesting either a rapid turnover in this specific phospholipid pool or a greater specificity for the transfer of arachidonoyl-coenzyme A to lysophosphatidylinositol. No or little competition of 14C-arachidonic acid incorporation into triacylglycerides or phospholipids occurred with palmitic acid, linoleic acid, or gamma-linolenic acid. However, dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, and unlabeled arachidonic acid were effective inhibitors. We conclude that the term amnion has high acyl transferase activity, that no change in the basal activity of this enzyme occurs with the onset of labor, and that a specific acyl transferase exists for 20-carbon polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Abstract
We have examined whether the passage of a paramyxovirus in a cell (BGM, African green monkey kidney) or animal (Swiss mouse) can permanently modify its metabolism. In an in vitro model in which cells had been cured of a measles virus persistent infection, the cells retained the modifications affecting lipid metabolism and composition induced during the infection. In a canine distemper virus mouse model, the same virus-induced modifications were observed in mice after the virus had been eliminated.

Abstract
Daily injection of suckling Swiss, C3H, and C57BL/6 mice with potent preparations of mouse interferon (IFN) alpha/beta resulted in a decrease in phospholipids and a decrease in the phospholipid-to-protein ratio in the liver. This decrease in polar lipids was accompanied by a marked accumulation of triglycerides without a pronounced change in free cholesterol. In contrast, a similar IFN treatment of adult mice did not change the content of liver phospholipids, although there was an increase in liver triglycerides. In suckling mice, after 10 days of IFN administration there was a marked decrease in the incorporation of 1(3)-[3H]glycerol into liver phospholipids, which was not observed in IFN-treated adult mice. Our findings suggest that IFN treatment results in the inhibition of some component of the system of phospholipid biosynthesis during the maturation of hepatocytes in suckling mice.

Abstract
Renal phospholipid metabolism was studied in rat cortical tubule suspensions by combining net measurements with precursor incorporation studies in order to be able to calculate the turnover of the different phospholipid species. Net amounts of tubular phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylinositol (PI) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) were 96.7 +/- 3.9, 29.2 +/- 2.9 and 74.1 +/- 6.0, mumol per g protein, respectively. Incubation of tubules in the absence or presence of renal substrates did not change net phospholipid contents. The predominant fatty acids were palmitate (47%) in PC and stearate in PI (56%) and PE (41%). Highest [14C]palmitate and [14C]glycerol incorporation rates were found in PC. In contrast, 32P-labeling was highest in phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate exceeding PI-labeling by a factor of 2.4 and 5.2, respectively. In contrast, [3H]inositol incorporation into phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate was only 20% compared to that into PI. Addition of renal substrates like lactate, glutamine, glycerol and fatty acids increased precursor incorporation. The stimulating effects of gluconeogenic precursors and fatty acids were more than additive. Comparison of rates of [14C]glycerol, [32P]- and [3H]inositol incorporation suggests that de novo phospholipid biosynthesis is represented by these measurements, while the fatty acid fraction in addition turns over by exchange processes. According to our conclusions PE, PC, PI and phosphoinositides turn over with a half-life of 139, 16, 15 and 0.7 h, respectively, under optimal in vitro conditions.

The fatty acid specificity of two enzymes that metabolize CDPdiacylglycerol, CDPdiacylglycerol hydrolase (EC 3.6.1.26) and CDPdiacylglycerol: inositol phosphatidyltransferase (EC 2.7.8.11), has been examined in guinea pig brain. Mixed CDPdiacylglycerols were stereospecifically synthesized by the following sequence: (i) hydrolysis of a homodiacyl lecithin to 1-acyl lysoPC by action of snake venom phospholipase A2, (ii) reacylation with the anhydride of the desired second fatty acid and dimethylaminopyridine, (iii) hydrolysis of the resultant heterodiacyl lecithin to phosphatidate with cabbage phospholipase D, and (iv) reaction of phosphatidate with CMPmorpholidate to give CDPdiacylglycerol. CDPdiacylglycerol: inositol phosphatidyltransferase showed the following rates of conversion of 40-microM suspensions of CDPdiacylglycerol in 0.15% Triton X-100 to phosphatidylinositol relative to the 1-stearoyl-2-oleoyl derivative (100%): dipalmitoyl, 70%; distearoyl, 38%; diarachidonoyl, 9%; 1-arachidonoyl-2-stearoyl, 6%; 1-stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl, 4%. These results indicate that the composition of isolated phosphatidylinositol and related lipids is not explained by the fatty acid specificity of the biosynthetic enzymes and supports the intervention of a deacylation-reacylation sequence. The rates of hydrolysis of the synthetic CDPdiacylglycerols at 76 microM, in 0.3% Triton X-100, by the CDPdiacylglycerol hydrolase relative to the 1-stearoyl-2-oleoyl derivative (100%) were: dipalmitoyl, 70%; distearoyl, 32%; 1-arachidonoyl-2-stearoyl, 30%; 1-stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl, 28%; diarachidonoyl, 22%. Inhibition of this enzyme by AMP was shown to be non-competitive, with a Ki of 40 microM. The lysosomal localization of the mammalian hydrolase was confirmed.

Abstract
It has been shown previously the 32Pi is incorporated into phosphatidylinositol 30 times faster than into the other phospholipids classes in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells, whereas [1-14C] glycerol is incorporated at almost the same rate (Waku, K., Nakazawa, Y. and MOri, W. (1976) J. Biochem. 79, 407-411). It was therefore suggested that there is a recirculating system (phosphatidylinositol leads to diacylglycerol leads to phosphatidic acid leads to CDP diacylglycerol leads to phosphatidylinositol) of phosphatidylinositol in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells. In this work, 32Pi or [1-3H] glycerol was injected into the peritoneal cavity of mice bearing Ehrlich ascites tumor cells from which the lipids were extracted after selected periods. Phosphatidylinositol was prepared and fractionated in the form of dimethylphosphatidic acid into six molecular species by AgNO3-impregnated TLC. The specific radioactivities of the fractionated species were determined. 32Pi was incorporated into diene molecular species and [1-3H] glycerol into monoene species with a higher rate than the other species and both precursors were incorporated into tetraene species rather slowly. 32P/3H values appeared to be at almost the same for each molecular species, although monoene species showed slightly lower values. These results suggest that there could be a recirculating of the phosphorylinositol moiety in each of the molecular species of phosphatidylinositol.

Abstract
Recent advances in nutritional and biochemical research have substantiated the importance of inositol as a dietary and cellular constituent. The processes involved in the metabolism of inositol and its derivatives in mammalian tissues have been characterized both in vivo and at the enzyme level. Biochemical functions elucidated for phosphatidylinositol in biological membranes include the mediation of cellular responses to external stimuli, nerve transmission, and the regulation of enzyme activity through specific interactions with various proteins. Inositol deficiency in animals has been shown to produce an accumulation of triglyceride in liver, intestinal lipodystrophy, and other abnormalities. The metabolic mechanisms giving rise to these latter phenomena have been extensively studied as a function of dietary inositol. Altered metabolism of inositol has been documented in patients with diabetes mellitus, chronic renal failure, galactosemia, and multiple sclerosis. A moderate increase in plasma and nerve inositol levels by dietary supplementation has been suggested as a means of treating diabetic neuropathy, although excessively high levels, such as are found in uremic patients, may be neurotoxic. A thorough consideration of the biochemical functions of inositol and a further characterization of various diseases with the aid of appropriate animal models may suggest a possible role for inositol and other dietary components in their prevention and treatment

Abstract
In a recirculating system, [9,10(-3)H2] oleic acid (346 mumol) and [1-14C] glycerol (115 mumol) are perfused into livers of 18-h fasting Wistar rats. These precursors are incorporated in same amounts into triacylglycerols, and in amounts growing up with the duration of the experiment (5 to 120 min). Their incorporation is slight into phospholipids. However, during the experiment, the increase of 3H/14C ratio of every acylglycerols shows that more lipids are synthetized in the acylation way than in the de novo way. The only synthesis of phospholipids, studied in the two ways, seems to be regulated, unlike the one of triacylglycerols in those experimental conditions.

Abstract
Phosphatidylcholine of resting human tonsil lymphocytes contained dipalmitoyl (18 mol%), 1-oleoyl,2-palmitoyl (11 mol%) and dioleoyl (5 mol%) species. 1-Oleoyl and 1-linoleoyl species were also detected in other more highly unsaturated phosphatidylcholine species. The features of phospholipid synthesis in lymphocytes were investigated by incubating cells with radiolabeled precursors. The de novo synthesis of phospholipids occurring in lymphocytes was estimated to be physiologically important, in particular for supplying dipalmitoylglycerophosphocholine and highly unsaturated phosphatidylethanolamine. It was also suggested that diacylglycerol(s) not originating from glycerophosphate is (are) involved in the synthesis of tetraenoic phospholipids. From radioactive palmitic and oleic acids were actively synthesized dipalmitoyl, dioleoyl and 1-oleoyl,2-palmitoyl species of diacylglycerol. The mode of diacylglycerol synthesis was reflected upon phosphatidylcholine formation. The formed polyunsaturated phosphatidylethanolamine was also found to contain 1-oleoyl or 2-palmitoyl species. Radioactive linoleic and arachidonic acids were incorporated predominantly into the C-1 position of diacylglycerol, whereas the majority of the formed phospholipids was of 2-linoleoyl or 2-arachidonoyl species. Labeled stearic acid was exclusively esterified to the C-1 position of the glycerolipids. However, the labeling pattern of molecular species by stearate was considerably deviated from that observed with labeled palmitate. These results indicate that the de novo synthetic pathway operating lymphocytes is primarily responsible for forming 1-unsaturated type of phospholipids. The synthesis of 1-saturated,2-unsaturated species appeared to be due to remodeling of once-formed phospholipids.

Abstract
CDPdiacylglycerol:inositol transferase activity in rabbit lung tissue has been characterized and the optimum conditions for assaying this enzyme in vitro were determined. Rabbit lung tissue CDPdiacylglycerol:inositol transferase activity was found primarily in the microsomal fraction. The pH optimum of the enzyme activity was between 8.8 and 9.4, and the reaction was dependent on either Mn2+ or Mg2+. Detergents and Ca2+ inhibited the activity of the enzyme. The apparent Km values of the enzyme for CDPdioleoylglycerol and myoinositol were 0.18 mM and 0.10 mM, respectively. The reversibility of the reaction catalyzed by CDPdiacylglycerol:inositol transferase in microsomes prepared from rabbit lung tissue was demonstrated by the synthesis of [3H]CMPdiacylglycerol when [3H]CMP and phosphatidylinositol were present in the incubation mixture. The reverse reaction was characterized and its importance in the regulation of the acidic phospholipid composition of surfactant during lung development is discussed. The pH optimum for the reverse reaction was 6.2, and the reverse reaction was also dependent on Mn2+ or Mg2+. The apparent Km value of CDPdiacylglycerol:inositol transferase for CMP was found to be 2.8 mM.
