Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum-plasma membrane contact sites (ER-PM MCS) are a specialised domain involved in the control of Ca2+ dynamics and various Ca2+-dependent cellular processes. Intracellular Ca2+ signals are broadly supported by Ca2+ release from intracellular Ca2+ channels such as inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) and subsequent store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) across the PM to replenish store content. IP3Rs sit in close proximity to the PM where they can easily access newly synthesised IP3, interact with binding partners such as actin, and localise adjacent to ER-PM MCS populated by the SOCE machinery, STIM1-2 and Orai1-3, to possibly form a locally regulated unit of Ca2+ influx. PtdIns(4,5)P2 is a multiplex regulator of Ca2+ signalling at the ER-PM MCS interacting with multiple proteins at these junctions such as actin and STIM1, whilst also being consumed as a substrate for phospholipase C to produce IP3 in response to extracellular stimuli. In this review, we consider the mechanisms regulating the synthesis and turnover of PtdIns(4,5)P2 via the phosphoinositide cycle and its significance for sustained signalling at the ER-PM MCS. Furthermore, we highlight recent insights into the role of PtdIns(4,5)P2 in the spatiotemporal organization of signalling at ER-PM junctions and raise outstanding questions on how this multi-faceted regulation occurs.

Abstract
While organelles are individual compartments with specialized functions, it is becoming clear that organellar communication is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis. This cooperation is carried out by various interactions taking place on the membranes of organelles. The membranes themselves contain a multitude of proteins and lipids that mediate these connections and one such class of molecules facilitating these relations are the phospholipids. There are several phospholipids, but the focus of this perspective is on a minor group called the phosphoinositides and specifically, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI-4,5-P2). This phosphoinositide, on intracellular membranes, is largely generated by the non-canonical Type II PIPKs, namely, Phosphotidylinositol-5-phosphate-4-kinases (PI5P4Ks). These evolutionarily conserved enzymes are emerging as key stress response players in cells. Further, PI5P4Ks have been shown to modulate pathways by regulating organelle crosstalk, revealing roles in preserving metabolic homeostasis. Here we will attempt to summarize the functions of the PI5P4Ks and their product PI-4,5-P2 in facilitating inter-organelle communication and how they impact cellular health as well as their relevance to human diseases.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol (PI) is an essential structural component of eukaryotic membranes that also serves as the common precursor for polyphosphoinositide (PPIn) lipids. Despite the recognized importance of PPIn species for signal transduction and membrane homeostasis, there is still a limited understanding of the relationship between PI availability and the turnover of subcellular PPIn pools. To address these shortcomings, we established a molecular toolbox for investigations of PI distribution within intact cells by exploiting the properties of a bacterial enzyme, PI-specific PLC (PI-PLC). Using these tools, we find a minor presence of PI in membranes of the ER, as well as a general enrichment within the cytosolic leaflets of the Golgi complex, peroxisomes, and outer mitochondrial membrane, but only detect very low steady-state levels of PI within the plasma membrane (PM) and endosomes. Kinetic studies also demonstrate the requirement for sustained PI supply from the ER for the maintenance of monophosphorylated PPIn species within the PM, Golgi complex, and endosomal compartments.

Biosci Rep 2018; 38:BSR20171549.

Abstract
5-diphosphoinositol tetrakisphosphate (5-InsP7) and bisdiphosphoinositol tetrakisphosphate (InsP8) are 'energetic' inositol pyrophosphate signaling molecules that regulate bioenergetic homeostasis. Inositol pyrophosphate levels are regulated by diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate kinases (PPIP5Ks); these are large modular proteins that host a kinase domain (which phosphorylates 5-InsP7 to InsP8), a phosphatase domain that catalyzes the reverse reaction, and a polyphosphoinositide-binding domain (PBD). Here, we describe new interactions between these three domains in the context of full-length human PPIP5K1. We determine that InsP7 kinase activity is dominant when PPIP5K1 is expressed in intact cells; in contrast, we found that InsP8 phosphatase activity prevails when the enzyme is isolated from its cellular environment. We approach a reconciliation of this disparity by showing that cellular InsP8 phosphatase activity is inhibited by C8-PtdIns(4,5)P2 (IC50 approx. 40 ìM). We recapitulate this phosphatase inhibition with natural PtdIns(4,5)P2 that was incorporated into large unilamellar vesicles. Additionally, PtdIns(4,5)P2 increases net InsP7 kinase activity 5-fold. We oftlinedemonstrate that PtdIns(4,5)P2 is not itself a phosphatase substrate; its inhibition of InsP8 phosphatase activity results from an unusual, functional overlap between the phosphatase domain and the PBD. Finally, we discuss the significance of PtdIns(4,5)P2 as a novel regulator of PPIP5K1, in relation to compartmentalization of InsP7/InsP8 signaling in vivo.

Abstract
Inositol polyphosphates, in their water-soluble or lipid-bound forms, represent a large and multifaceted family of signalling molecules. Some inositol polyphosphates are well recognised as defining important signal transduction pathways, as in the case of the calcium release factor Ins(1,4,5)P3, generated by receptor activation-induced hydrolysis of the lipid PtdIns(4,5)P2 by phospholipase C. The birth of inositol polyphosphate research would not have occurred without the use of radioactive phosphate tracers that enabled the discovery of the “PI response”. Radioactive labels, mainly of phosphorus but also carbon and hydrogen (tritium), have been instrumental in the development of this research field and the establishment of the inositol polyphosphates as one of the most important networks of regulatory molecules present in eukaryotic cells. Advancements in microscopy and mass spectrometry and the development of colorimetric assays have facilitated inositol polyphosphate research, but have not eliminated the need for radioactive experimental approaches. In fact, such experiments have become easier with the cloning of the inositol polyphosphate kinases, enabling the systematic labelling of specific positions of the inositol ring with radioactive phosphate. This approach has been valuable for elucidating their metabolic pathways and identifying specific and novel functions for inositol polyphosphates. For example, the synthesis of radiolabelled inositol pyrophosphates has allowed the discovery of a new protein post-translational modification. Therefore, radioactive tracers have played and will continue to play an important role in dissecting the many complex aspects of inositol polyphosphate physiology. In this review we aim to highlight the historical importance of radioactivity in inositol polyphosphate research, as well as its modern usage.

Abstract
Ptdns(4,5)P2 is a minor structural lipid of the plasma membrane (PM), but a master regulator of PM function. Serving either as a substrate for the generation of second messengers, or more commonly as a ligand triggering protein recruitment or activation, it regulates most aspects of PM function. Understanding how this relatively simple biological macromolecule can regulate such a vast array of different functions in parallel, is the key to understanding the biology of the PM as a whole, in both health and disease. In this review, potential mechanisms are discussed that might explain how a lipid can separately regulate so many protein complexes. The focus is on the spatial distribution of the lipid molecules, their metabolism and their interactions. Open questions that still need to be resolved are highlighted, as are potential experimental approaches that might shed light on the mechanisms at play. Moreover, the broader question is raised as to whether PtdIns(4,5)P2 should be thought of as a bona fide signalling molecule or more of a simple lipid cofactor or perhaps both, depending on the context of the particular function in question.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] is a multi-functional lipid that regulates several essential subcellular processes in eukaryotic cells. In addition to its well-established function as a substrate for receptor-activated signalling at the plasma membrane (PM), it is now recognized that distinct PI(4,5)P2 pools are present at other organelle membranes. However, a long-standing question that remains unresolved is the mechanism by which a single lipid species, with an invariant functional head group, delivers numerous functions without loss of fidelity. In the present review, we summarize studies that have examined the molecular processes that shape the repertoire of PI(4,5)P2 pools in diverse eukaryotes. Collectively, these studies indicate a conserved role for lipid kinase isoforms in generating functionally distinct pools of PI(4,5)P2 in diverse metazoan species. The sophistication underlying the regulation of multiple functions by PI(4,5)P2 is also shaped by mechanisms that regulate its availability to enzymes involved in its metabolism as well as molecular processes that control its diffusion at nanoscales in the PM. Collectively, these mechanisms ensure the specificity of PI(4,5)P2 mediated signalling at eukaryotic membranes.

Abstract
Multiple PIP2 dependent molecular processes including receptor activated phospholipase C activity occur at the neuronal plasma membranes, yet levels of this lipid at the plasma membrane are remarkably stable. Although the existence of unique pools of PIP2 supporting these events has been proposed, the mechanism by which they are generated is unclear. In Drosophila photoreceptors, the hydrolysis of PIP2 by G-protein coupled phospholipase C activity is essential for sensory transduction of photons. We identify dPIP5K as an enzyme essential for PIP2 re-synthesis in photoreceptors. Loss of dPIP5K causes profound defects in the electrical response to light and light-induced PIP2 dynamics at the photoreceptor membrane. Overexpression of dPIP5K was able to accelerate the rate of PIP2 synthesis following light induced PIP2 depletion. Other PIP2 dependent processes such as endocytosis and cytoskeletal function were unaffected in photoreceptors lacking dPIP5K function. These results provide evidence for the existence of a unique dPIP5K dependent pool of PIP2 required for normal Drosophila phototransduction. Our results define the existence of multiple pools of PIP2 in photoreceptors generated by distinct lipid kinases and supporting specific molecular processes at neuronal membranes. PIP2 has been implicated in multiple functions at the plasma membrane. Some of these require its hydrolysis by receptor-activated phospholipase C, whereas others, such as membrane transport and cytoskeletal function, involve the interaction of the intact lipid with cellular proteins. The mechanistic basis underlying the segregation of these two classes of PIP2 dependent functions is unknown; it has been postulated that this might involve unique pools of PIP2 generated by distinct phosphoinsoitide kinases. We have studied this question in Drosophila photoreceptors, a model system where sensory transduction requires robust phospholipase C mediated PIP2 hydrolysis. We find that the activity of phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5 kinase encoded by dPIP5K is required to support normal sensory transduction and PIP2 dynamics in photoreceptors. Remarkably, non-PLC dependent functions of PIP2, such as vesicular transport and the actin cytoskeleton, were unaffected in dPIP5K mutants. Thus, dPIP5K supports a pool of PIP2 that is readily available to PLC, but has no role in sustaining other non-PLC mediated PIP2 dependent processes. These findings support the existence of at least two non-overlapping pools of PIP2 at the plasma membrane, and provide a platform for future studies of PIP2 regulation at the plasma membrane.

Abstract
Inositol-containing phospholipids (phosphoinositides, PIs) control numerous cellular processes in eukaryotic cells. For plants, a key involvement of PIs has been demonstrated in the regulation of membrane trafficking, cytoskeletal dynamics and in processes mediating the adaptation to changing environmental conditions. Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P(2)) mediates its cellular functions via binding to various alternative target proteins. Such downstream targets of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) are characterised by the possession of specific lipid-binding domains, and binding of the PtdIns(4,5)P(2) ligand exerts effects on their activity or localisation. The large number of potential alternative binding partners - and associated cellular processes - raises the question how alternative or even contrapuntal effects of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) are orchestrated to enable cellular function. This article aims to provide an overview of recent insights and new views on how distinct functional pools of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) are generated and maintained. The emerging picture suggests that PtdIns(4,5)P(2) species containing different fatty acids influence the lateral mobility of the lipids in the membrane, possibly enabling specific interactions of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) pools with certain downstream targets. PtdIns(4,5)P(2) pools with certain functions might also be defined by protein-protein interactions of PI4P 5-kinases, which pass PtdIns(4,5)P(2) only to certain downstream partners. Individually or in combination, PtdIns(4,5)P(2) species and specific protein-protein interactions of PI4P 5-kinases might contribute to the channelling of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) signals towards specific functional effects. The dynamic nature of PI-dependent signalling complexes with specific functions is an added challenge for future studies of plant PI signalling.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides (PIs) are minor, but essential phospholipid constituents of eukaryotic membranes, and are involved in the regulation of various physiological processes. Recent genetic and cell biological advances indicate that PIs play important roles in the control of polar tip growth in plant cells. In root hairs and pollen tubes, PIs control directional membrane trafficking required for the delivery of cell wall material and membrane area to the growing tip. So far, the exact mechanisms by which PIs control polarity and tip growth are unresolved. However, data gained from the analysis of plant, fungal and animal systems implicate PIs in the control of cytoskeletal dynamics, ion channel activity as well as vesicle trafficking. The present review aims at giving an overview of PI roles in eukaryotic cells with a special focus on functions pertaining to the control of cell polarity. Comparative screening of plant and fungal genomes suggests diversification of the PI system with increasing organismic complexity. The evolutionary conservation of the PI system among eukaryotic cells suggests a role for PIs in tip growing cells in models where PIs so far have not been a focus of attention, such as fungal hyphae.

Abstract
Plants exposed to hyperosmotic stress undergo changes in membrane dynamics and lipid composition to maintain cellular integrity and avoid membrane leakage. Various plant species respond to hyperosmotic stress with transient increases in PtdIns(4,5)P(2); however, the physiological role of such increases is unresolved. The plasma membrane represents the outermost barrier between the symplast of plant cells and its apoplastic surroundings. In the present study, the spatio-temporal dynamics of stress-induced changes in phosphoinositides were analysed in subcellular fractions of Arabidopsis leaves to delineate possible physiological roles. Unlabelled lipids were separated by TLC and quantified by gas-chromatographic detection of associated fatty acids. Transient PtdIns(4,5)P(2) increases upon exposure to hyperosmotic stress were detected first in enriched plasmamembrane fractions, however, at later time points, PtdIns(4,5)P(2) was increased in the endomembrane fractions of the corresponding two-phase systems. When major endomembranes were enriched from rosette leaves prior to hyperosmotic stress and during stimulation for 60 min, no stress-induced increases in the levels of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) were found in fractions enriched for endoplasmic reticulum, nuclei or plastidial membranes. Instead, increased PtdIns(4,5)P(2) was found in CCVs (clathrin-coated vesicles), which proliferated several-fold in mass within 60 min of hyperosmotic stress, according to the abundance of CCV-associated proteins and lipids. Monitoring the subcellular distribution of fluorescence-tagged reporters for clathrin and PtdIns(4,5)P(2) during transient co-expression in onion epidermal cells indicates rapid stress-induced co-localization of clathrin with PtdIns(4,5)P(2) at the plasma membrane. The results indicate that PtdIns(4,5)P(2) may act in stress-induced formation of CCVs in plant cells, highlighting the evolutionary conservation of the phosphoinositide system between organismic kingdoms.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides (PIs) control various cellular functions of eukaryotic cells. PIs are derived from phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) by phosphorylation of the inositol-ring in the lipid-head group; the action of specific lipid kinases gives rise to a family of structurally-related PIs, in plants representing PtdIns-mono-, and -bisphosphates. Specific PIs, such as phosphatidylinositol4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P(2)), can influence more than one physiological process, raising the question as to how interactions with alternative protein partners are coordinated. Previous studies have proposed that PIs are organized by spatiotemporal compartmentation into distinct functional pools, however, mechanisms for the generation and maintenance of such pools have not been presented. Several recent studies now indicate that not only the distinctive inositolpolyphosphate head groups may be relevant for PI function but also the associated fatty acyl-moieties, which may be involved in sorting of PI precursors into distinct pools. This mini-review aims at highlighting recent evidence that PI acylgroups exert relevant effects on signaling.

Abstract
PtdIns is an important precursor for inositol-containing lipids, including polyphosphoinositides, which have multiple essential functions in eukaryotic cells. It was previously proposed that different regulatory functions of inositol-containing lipids may be performed by independent lipid pools; however, it remains unclear how such subcellular pools are established and maintained. In the present paper, a previously uncharacterized Arabidopsis gene product with similarity to the known Arabidopsis PIS (PtdIns synthase), PIS1, is shown to be an active enzyme, PIS2, capable of producing PtdIns in vitro. PIS1 and PIS2 diverged slightly in substrate preferences for CDP-DAG [cytidinediphospho-DAG (diacylglycerol)] species differing in fatty acid composition, PIS2 preferring unsaturated substrates in vitro. Transient expression of fluorescently tagged PIS1 or PIS2 in onion epidermal cells indicates localization of both enzymes in the ER (endoplasmic reticulum) and, possibly, Golgi, as was reported previously for fungal and mammalian homologues. Constitutive ectopic overexpression of PIS1 or PIS2 in Arabidopsis plants resulted in elevated levels of PtdIns in leaves. PIS2-overexpressors additionally exhibited significantly elevated levels of PtdIns(4)P and PtdIns(4,5)P(2), whereas polyphosphoinositides were not elevated in plants overexpressing PIS1. In contrast, PIS1-overexpressors contained significantly elevated levels of DAG and PtdEtn (phosphatidylethanolamine), an effect not observed in plants overexpressing PIS2. Biochemical analysis of transgenic plants with regards to fatty acids associated with relevant lipids indicates that lipids increasing with PIS1 overexpression were enriched in saturated or monounsaturated fatty acids, whereas lipids increasing with PIS2 overexpression, including polyphosphoinositides, contained more unsaturated fatty acids. The results indicate that PtdIns populations originating from different PIS isoforms may enter alternative routes of metabolic conversion, possibly based on specificity and immediate metabolic context of the biosynthetic enzymes.

Abstract
Function and development of eukaryotic cells require tight control of diverse physiological processes. Numerous cellular processes are regulated by polyphosphoinositides, which interact with protein partners or mediate release of the second messenger, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3). Emerging evidence suggests that different regulatory or signaling functions of polyphosphoinositides may be orchestrated by the establishment of distinct subcellular pools; the principles underlying pool-formation are, however, not understood. Arabidopsis plants exhibit transient increases in polyphosphoinositides with hyperosmotic stress, providing a model for comparing constitutive and stress-inducible polyphosphoinositide pools. Using a combination of thin-layer-chromatography and gas-chromatography, phospholipids from stressed and nonstressed Arabidopsis plants were analyzed for their associated fatty acids. Under nonstress conditions structural phospholipids and phosphatidylinositol contained 50-70 mol% polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), whereas polyphosphoinositides were more saturated (10-20 mol% PUFA). With hyperosmotic stress polyphosphoinositides with up to 70 mol% PUFA were formed that differed from constitutive species and coincided with a transient loss in unsaturated phosphatidylinositol. The patterns indicate inducible turnover of an unsaturated phosphatidylinositol pool, which accumulates under standard conditions and is primed for phosphorylation on stimulation. Metabolic analysis of wild-type and transgenic plants disturbed in phosphoinositide metabolism suggests that, in contrast to saturated species, unsaturated polyphosphoinositides are channeled toward InsP3-production.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides have been shown to control membrane trafficking events by targeting proteins to specific cellular sites, which requires a tight regulation of phosphoinositide generation and turnover as well as a high degree of compartmentalization. To shed light on the processes that lead to the formation of phosphoinositide-enriched microdomains, phosphatidylcholine/phosphatidylinositol monophosphate (phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PI-3P), -4-phosphate (PI-4P), or -5-phosphate (PI-5P)) mixed vesicles were investigated by calorimetric (DSC) Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic (FTIR), and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) measurements. The experiments furnished results consistent with a pH-dependent formation of phosphatidylinositol monophosphate-enriched microdomains. The domain formation was most pronounced between pH approximately 7 and approximately 9.5, whereas slightly acidic pH values (pH 4) resulted in the disintegration of the domains. This pH-dependent phosphatidylcholine/phosphatidylinositol monophosphate demixing was observed for the gel phase (FTIR experiments) as well as for the fluid lipid phase (FRET measurements). The observed microdomains are presumably stabilized by hydroxyl/hydroxyl as well as hydroxyl/phosphomonoester and phosphodiester interactions. While the pH dependence of the mutual phosphatidylinositol monophosphate interaction was largely the same for all investigated phosphatidylinositol monophosphates, it turned out that the relative stability of phosphatidylinositol monophosphate-enriched microdomains (pH 7-9.5) was governed by the position of the phosphomonoester group at the inositol ring (PI-4P > PI-5P > PI-3P). Demixing was also observed for phosphatidylcholine/phosphatidylinositol mixed vesicles; however, in this case the microdomain formation was only slightly affected by pH changes.

Abstract
The phosphatidylinositolphosphate kinases (PIPkins) are a unique family of enzymes that catalyse the production of phosphorylated inositol lipids. Recent advances have revealed that, due to their ability to utilise a number of different lipid substrates (at least in vitro), this family is potentially able to generate several distinct, physiologically important inositol lipids. Despite their importance, however, our understanding of the regulation of the PIPkins and of their physiological role in cellular signalling and regulation is still poor. Here we describe in turn the diverse physiological functions of the known substrates and major products of the PIPkins. We then examine what is known about the members of the PIPkin family themselves, and their characteristics and regulation.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns[4,5]P2) pools that bind pleckstrin homology (PH) domains were visualized by cellular expression of a phospholipase C (PLC)delta PH domain-green fluorescent protein fusion construct and analysis of confocal images in living cells. Plasma membrane localization of the fluorescent probe required the presence of three basic residues within the PLCdelta PH domain known to form critical contacts with PtdIns(4, 5)P2. Activation of endogenous PLCs by ionophores or by receptor stimulation produced rapid redistribution of the fluorescent signal from the membrane to cytosol, which was reversed after Ca2+ chelation. In both ionomycin- and agonist-stimulated cells, fluorescent probe distribution closely correlated with changes in absolute mass of PtdIns(4,5)P2. Inhibition of PtdIns(4,5)P2 synthesis by quercetin or phenylarsine oxide prevented the relocalization of the fluorescent probe to the membranes after Ca2+ chelation in ionomycin-treated cells or during agonist stimulation. In contrast, the synthesis of the PtdIns(4,5)P2 imaged by the PH domain was not sensitive to concentrations of wortmannin that had been found inhibitory of the synthesis of myo-[3H]inositol- labeled PtdIns(4,5)P2. Identification and dynamic imaging of phosphoinositides that interact with PH domains will further our understanding of the regulation of such proteins by inositol phospholipids.

Abstract
The aquatic monocotyledonous plant Spirodela polyrhiza was labelled with [33P]Pi for short periods under non-equilibrium conditions. An InsP6 fraction was obtained and dissected by using enantiospecific (enzymic) and non-enantiospecific (chemical) means to determine the relative labelling of individual phosphate substituents on the inositol ring of InsP6. Phosphates in positions D-1, -2, -3, -4, -5 and -6 contained approx. 21%, 32-39%, 9-10%, 14-16%, 19-23% and 16-18% of the label respectively. We conclude from the foregoing, together with identities [described in the preceding paper, Brearley and Hanke (1996) Biochem. J. 314, 215-225] of inositol phosphates found in this plant at a developmental stage associated with massive accumulation of InsP6, that synthesis of InsP6 from myo-inositol proceeds according to the sequence Ins3P-->Ins(3,4)P2-->Ins(3,4,6)P3-->Ins(3,4,5,6)P4-->Ins(1,3,4,5,6 ) P5-->InsP6 in Spirodela polyrhiza. These results represent the first description of the synthetic sequence to InsP6 in the plant kingdom and the only comprehensive description of endogenous inositol phosphates in any plant tissue. The sequence described differs from that reported in the slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum.

Abstract
The metabolism of phospholipids and the mobilization of second messengers such as inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate, 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) and arachidonic acid (AA) from phospholipids is commonly studied by radiolabelling phospholipids with [3H]myo-inositol or [32P]ATP and measuring the incorporation of radioactivity in different phospholipids or their hydrolysis products. However, for the radiolabelling method to accurately reflect changes in the compound's mass, it is essential that the tissue is labelled to isotopic equilibrium which is difficult to achieve. To circumvent the disadvantages of the radiolabelling method, several analytical procedures have been developed for the mass analysis of phospholipids and inositolphosphates (IPs). Quantitation of the mass or the radiolabelling of phospholipids is a complex multi-step procedure that involves quantitative isolation of phospholipids, fractionation of individual phospholipids and either determination of radioactivity in each component or the measurement of their mass. Phospholipids, DAG and AA are extracted from tissue sample with organic solvents such as chloroform-methanol (2:1) containing HCl or formic acid. The extract is separated by TLC, cartridge-column chromatography or HPLC on a reversed-phase column. Phospholipids are quantitated by measuring inorganic phosphate, absorption at 200 nm or mass spectrometry. Inositol phosphates are extracted with perchloric acid or trichloroacetic acid and separated by ion-exchange cartridge-column or HPLC with an ion-exchange column. IPs are quantitated by measuring inorganic phosphate or by using enzymatic reaction, metal-dye coupling, NMR or mass spectrometry.

Abstract
The synthesis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2], the immediate precursor of intracellular signals generated by calcium-mobilizing hormones and growth factors, is initiated by the conversion of phosphatidylinositol to phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate [PtdIns(4)P] by phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase (PtdIns 4-kinase). Although cells contain several PtdIns 4-kinases, the enzyme responsible for regulating the synthesis of hormone-sensitive PtdIns(4,5)P2 pools has not been identified. In this report we describe the inhibitory effect of micromolar concentrations of wortmannin (WT) on the synthesis of hormone-sensitive PtdIns(4)P and PtdIns(4,5)P2 pools in intact adrenal glomerulosa cells, and the presence of a WT-sensitive PtdIns 4-kinase in adrenocortical extracts. In addition to its sensitivity to the PtdIns 3-kinase inhibitor WT, this enzyme is distinguished from the recognized membrane-bound PtdIns 4-kinases by its molecular size and weak membrane association. Inhibition of this PtdIns 4-kinase by WT results in rapid loss of the hormone-sensitive PtdIns(4,5)P2 pool in angiotensin II-stimulated glomerulosa cells. Consequently, WT treatment inhibits the sustained but not the initial increases in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and cytoplasmic [Ca2+] in a variety of agonist-stimulated cells, including adrenal glomerulosa cells, NIH 3T3 fibroblasts, and Jurkat lymphoblasts. These results indicate that a specific WT-sensitive PtdIns 4-kinase is critical for the maintenance of the agonist-sensitive polyphosphoinositide pool in several cell types.

Abstract
We have isolated additional cDNA clones encoding type II inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase (5-phosphatase II) resulting in a combined cDNA of 3076 nucleotides encoding a protein of 942 amino acids. The 5-phosphatase II hydrolyzed both Ins(1,4,5)P3 to Ins(1,4)P2 and the phospholipid PtdIns(4,5)P2 to PtdIns(4)P both in vitro and in vivo. There are two motifs highly conserved between types I and II 5-phosphatase and several other proteins presumed to be inositol phosphatases suggesting a possible role in catalysis. The type II 5-phosphatase also contains homology to several GTPase activating proteins although no such activity for 5-phosphatase II was found. The predicted protein ends with the sequence CNPL, suggesting that it is isoprenylated as a mechanism for membrane attachment. We found evidence for isoprenylation by demonstrating incorporation of [3H]mevalonate into native but not C939S mutant 5-phosphatase II expressed in Sf9 insect cells. Furthermore, we showed that membrane localization and the activity of 5-phosphatase II toward its lipid substrate PtdIns(4,5)P2 is reduced by eliminating 5-phosphatase II isoprenylation in the mutant C939S relative to the native enzyme.

Abstract
Platelets accumulate PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 and PtdIns(3,4)P2 in response to thrombin and thrombin-receptor-directed peptide in a GTP-dependent manner. These phosphoinositides are considered to be mediators of signaling events in a variety of cells. We have examined the metabolic route by which PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 and PtdIns(3,4)P2 are synthesized by briefly (10 min) incubating platelets with high activities of [32P]Pi, followed by 20 or 60 s exposure to thrombin, and analysing the relative radioactivities of the individual phosphate groups in the resulting labelled PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 and PtdIns(3,4)P2. The phosphate group possessing the highest specific activity under such non-equilibrium labelling conditions indicates the last one added in a metabolic sequence. The thrombin-stimulated rate of labelling of PtdIns(3,4)P2 was significantly slower than that of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3. Increased labelled PtdIns3P was not detected within 60 s. The measured relative radioactivities decreased in the order 3 > 5 > 4 >> 1 for PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 and 3 > 4 >> 1 for PtdIns(3,4)P2. On the basis of the results of both rate-of-labelling and specific radioactivity analyses we conclude that PtdIns(3,4,5)Pa is formed by 3-OH phosphorylation of PtdIns(4,5)P2, whereas PtdIns(3,4)P2, may be formed by 3-OH phosphorylation of PtdIns4P and/or dephosphorylation of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3. These findings point to the activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase as a critical receptor-regulated step in thrombin-stimulated platelets.

Abstract
We have previously characterized phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) synthase and PtdIns/myo-inositol-exchange enzyme activities in ghost membranes prepared by hypotonic lysis of turkey erythrocytes [McPhee, Lowe, Vaziri and Downes (1991) Biochem. J. 275, 187-192]. Here we show that PtdIns synthase activity is relatively enriched in plasma-membrane preparations of turkey erythrocytes and that inositol phospholipids labelled by both PtdIns synthase and PtdIns myo-inositol exchange enzymes are susceptible to hydrolysis by the receptor- and G-protein-regulated phospholipase C (PLC), which is present also in ghost preparations. Specific-radioactivity measurements of [3H]PtdIns from ghosts labelled to equilibrium under conditions favouring [3H]inositol incorporation by PtdIns synthase activity indicate that PtdIns synthase can directly access approx. 14% of the total erythrocyte ghost PtdIns. Approx. 16% of the [3H]PtdIns labelled by the PtdIns synthase reaction can be phosphorylated to polyphosphoinositides, which are then hydrolysed by the receptor- and G-protein-stimulated PLC. Since the mass of PtdIns declines to a similar extent as [3H]PtdIns during stimulation in the presence of guanine nucleotides and ATP, it is evident that both the labelled and unlabelled phosphoinositides are susceptible to hydrolysis by the relevant PLC. Phosphoinositides present in nuclei-free plasma membranes were also labelled by [3H]inositol under conditions favouring PtdIns synthase and PtdIns/myo-inositol-exchange enzyme activities respectively. These membranes lack PLC activity [Vaziri and Downes (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 22973-22981], but the labelled lipids were sensitive to purinergic-receptor-stimulated hydrolysis in reconstitution assays using partially purified turkey erythrocyte PLC. The results strongly suggest that at least a portion of the PtdIns synthase in turkey erythrocytes is located in the plasma membrane and has direct access to an agonist-sensitive pool of inositol phospholipids.

Abstract
Previous work in [3H]inositol-labelled GH3 pituitary tumor cells stimulated with thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) reported the existence of at least ten distinct [3H]inositol-containing substances which were identified as different inositol mono-, bis- and tris-phosphate isomers [1]. Here a complete kinetic study of the dephosphorylation pathways of the second messenger Ins(1,4,5)P3 is reported in GH3 cell homogenates, identifying a new intermediate, Ins(4,5)P2, in the metabolism of the second messenger. in vitro results obtained with exogenous substrates are compared with in vivo results obtained measuring levels of the endogenous [3H]inositol-labelled isomers that participate in the dephosphorylation pathways of Ins(1,4,5)P3 in resting and TRH-stimulated GH3 cells. The effect of Li+ on the activity of the different phosphatases involved in these pathways is studied as well.

Abstract
In the erythrocyte membrane, only a fraction (50-60%) of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) and of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PIP) is rapidly turned over by specific kinases and phosphatases and accessible to hydrolysis by the polyphosphoinositide (PPI)-specific phospholipase C (PLC). To investigate whether the metabolic segregation of PPI resulted from preferential interactions with proteins, we have measured the accessibility of PPI to bee venom phospholipase A2 (PLA2) in native erythrocyte membranes, or after treatments designed to remove peripheral proteins and cytoplasmic domains of integral proteins. In native membranes, PPI, as well as the other major phospholipids, behaved as two distinct fractions (R1 and R2) differing by their sensitivity to PLA2. Such a behavior was not observed in PIP and PIP2 containing artificial vesicles. Evidence was provided that the highly sensitive fraction of PIP and PIP2 (R1) may be identical to the PLC-sensitive and rapidly metabolized pool. Removal of peripheral proteins, followed by proteolysis of the cytoplasmic domain of integral proteins, mainly glycophorins and band 3, led to a reduction of the R1 fraction of PIP and of PIP2. It is proposed that the rapidly metabolized pool of PIP2 and PIP, involved in the regulation of major cellular functions, would be maintained in its functional state through interactions with integral proteins.

Abstract
We have studied the mechanism by which calcium-loading of human erythrocytes stimulates phospholipid turnover and generates diacylglycerol and phosphatidic acid. Using quantitative measurement of individual phospholipid classes, we have demonstrated that the amount of phosphatidic acid generated during calcium-loading of intact red cells exceeds the amount of diacylglycerol formed by phospholipase-C-mediated hydrolysis of the polyphosphoinositol lipids and that addition of the diacylglycerol kinase inhibitor, R59022, only partly inhibited this increase. Thus, in contrast to current explanations, the phosphatidic acid generated following calcium-loading of erythrocytes cannot be solely explained by the action of a polyphosphoinositol-lipid-specific phospholipase C with subsequent phosphorylation of diacylglycerol to phosphatidic acid. Our data demonstrate that calcium-loading of intact erythrocytes, but not of red cell ghost membranes, causes a small but significant decrease in the relative amount of phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho). In order to identify the mechanisms responsible for calcium-mediated hydrolysis of PtdCho, we encapsulated Ptd[Me-14C]Cho-containing rat liver microsomes into erythrocytes and studied the generation of [Me-14C]choline and phospho[Me-14C]choline. We found that choline was the only detectable 14C-labeled product. Furthermore, incubation of erythrocytes with calcium under hypotonic conditions and in the presence of [14C]PtdCho vesicles and ethanol resulted in the formation of [14C]phosphatidylethanol. Together, these results suggest that the loss of PtdCho during calcium-loading of human erythrocytes is caused by a previously unrecognized PtdCho-hydrolyzing phospholipase D, resulting in direct generation of phosphatidic acid. Analysis of the molecular species composition of PtdCho, phosphatidic acid, and diradylglycerol, confirm the simultaneous actions of PtdCho-hydrolyzing and polyphosphoinositol-lipid-hydrolyzing phospholipases in calcium-loaded human erythrocytes.

Abstract
Non-permeabilizing concentrations (< 40 microM) of chlorpromazine (CPZ) increase the radioactivity of phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PIP) in platelets pre-labelled with [32P]Pi, but the biochemical mechanisms underlying this increase are poorly understood. Incubation of [32P]Pi-labelled, gel-filtered platelets with 25 microM CPZ for 10 min increased: (1) the mass of PIP from 315 to 476 nmol/10(11) platelets but not the total inositol phospholipid mass, (2) the specific phosphodiester radioactivities in phosphatidylinositol (PI), PIP and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) by 34, 63 and 37%, respectively, and (3) the specific phosphomonoester radioactivities in PIP and PIP2 by 53 and 10%, respectively. In control platelets (no CPZ) the specific radioactivity of the phosphodiester was the same in PI, PIP and PIP2, and the specific radioactivity in the phosphomonoester in PIP and PIP2 was 55% of that of the gamma-phosphoryl in ATP, measured as metabolically active, actin-bound ADP. These results suggest that 55% of each of PI, PIP and PIP2 constitutes a metabolic pool which is labelled by 32P in the platelets, while the remainder is in a metabolically inactive pool and not labelled. CPZ has two major effects: (1) CPZ interferes with the kinase and phosphohydrolase reactions that maintain the steady-state level of PIP in the metabolic phosphoinositide pool, resulting in a 92% increase in the PIP level of this pool, and (2) CPZ causes synthesis (45% in 10 min) of new phosphodiester in the metabolically active phosphoinositides by tentative stimulation of the turnover of the phosphoinositide cycle, de novo phosphoinositide synthesis and/or diacylglycerol formation through phospholipases C and D. The marked alteration by CPZ of phosphoinositide metabolism may be part of the mechanism by which this drug effects its psychotropic action.

Abstract
Chromatographic methods that measure both the mass and the radiolabelling of various inositol lipids and inositol phosphates in tissues have been developed. The mass of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns), phosphatidylinositol-4-monophosphate [PtdIns(4)P] and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2] was quantitated by measuring the inorganic phosphate, whereas inositol monophosphate (IP), inositol bisphosphate (IP2), inositol trisphosphate (IP3) and inositol tetrakisphosphate (IP4) were quantitated by using an enzymic method. The radiolabelling of various inositol lipids and inositol phosphates was determined by incubating the tissue samples with [3H]myo-inositol, separating individual inositol lipids and inositol phosphates, and measuring the radioactivity in each compound. Although the mass analysis method was sensitive enough to measure low levels of inositol lipids or inositol phosphates, the method was laborious and time-consuming. Compared with the enzymic method, the radiolabelling method was simple and fast, but it gave variable results. This study demonstrated differences in inositol lipid and inositol phosphate levels by radiolabelling and mass measurements, and agonist-stimulated phosphatidylinositol turnover of synaptosomes versus the blood-brain barrier as represented by microvessels. Although the mass of PtdIns, PtdIns(4)P and PtdIns(4,5)P2 was comparable in synaptosomes and microvessels, the incorporation of [3H]myo-inositol into phosphorylated PtdIns in microvessels was less than that in synaptosomes.

Abstract
1. A detailed structural survey has been made of the inositol phosphates of unstimulated and vasopressin-stimulated WRK-1 rat mammary tumour cells. Inositol phosphate peaks were separated by h.p.l.c., and structural assignments were made for more than 20 compounds by combinations of: (a) co-chromatography with labelled standards; (b) site-specific enzymic dephosphorylation; (c) complete and partial periodate oxidation, followed by h.p.l.c. of polyols and their stereospecific oxidation by dehydrogenases; and (d) ammoniacal hydrolysis. 2. The 'inositol monophosphates' fraction from unstimulated cells included an uncharacterized peak, probably containing some glycerophosphoinositol, and Ins(1:2-cyclic)P. Stimulation provoked accumulation of both Ins1P and Ins3P, of Ins2P, and of Ins5P and/or the enantiomers Ins4P and Ins6P. The proportions of Ins1P and Ins3P were determined by partial periodate oxidation and enantiomeric identification of the resulting glucitols. 3. Three inositol bisphosphate peaks were detected in unstimulated cells: Ins(1,4)P2 [this was distinguished chemically from its enantiomer Ins(3,6)P2], Ins(3,4)P2 and/or Ins(1,6)P2, and Ins(4,5)P2 and/or Ins(5,6)P2. On stimulation, Ins(1,4)P2 and Ins(3,4)P2 [and/or Ins(1,6)P2] levels increased, and Ins(1:2-cyclic,4)P2 and Ins(1,3)P2 were also formed. 4. Three inositol trisphosphate peaks were obtained from unstimulated cells: all increased during stimulation. These were Ins(1,3,4)P3 [with some Ins(1:2-cyclic,4,5)P3], Ins(1,4,5)P3 and Ins(3,4,5)P3 [and/or Ins(1,5,6)P3]. During stimulation, another compound, probably Ins(1,4,6)P3, appeared in the 'Ins(1,4,5)P3 peak'. The 'Ins(3,4,5)P3 peak' contained a second trisphosphate, probably Ins(2,4,5)P3. 5. Three inositol tetrakisphosphates, namely Ins(1,3,4,6)P4, Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, were present in unstimulated cells, and all accumulated during stimulation. 6. Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P5, which is the most abundant inositol polyphosphate in these cells, a less abundant inositol pentakisphosphate and inositol hexakisphosphate were all unresponsive to stimulation.

Abstract
An analysis was made of the rate, extent, and reversibility of the morphological transitions which were induced in human erythrocytes after loading with 150 microM or 1 mM Ca2+. The rate and extent of proteolytic cleavage of cytoskeletal proteins were monitored simultaneously, particularly those of the ankyrins and band 4.1, and were found not to reflect the rate of shape change. These observations were made when intact cells were incubated either in a buffer which supported glycolysis or in a simple isotonic Tris buffer without glucose. The composition of the buffer affected the initial morphology of the cells, the rate of morphological transition, the rate of proteolysis of cytoskeletal proteins, and the extent and kinetics of the reversal of morphology from the echinocyte to discocyte after removal of the ionophore A23187 and Ca2+. The morphology of cells transformed to spheroechinocytes by loading metabolically depleted cells for 15 min with 1 mM Ca2+, and which retained 50% band 2.1, was reversed in the presence of substrates for ATP synthesis to that of a mixture of 60% stage 1 echinocytes plus 25% discocytes, suggesting that ankyrin may not be essential for the maintenance of a disc-like morphology. Echinocytes which were depleted of greater than 50% band 4.1 were unable to undergo the transition back to discs.

Abstract
Doxorubicin, when incubated for 30 minutes with [32P]-labelled human erythrocyte membrane vesicles, produced an elevation of [32P]inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate levels. The maximum rise was obtained with 10(-8) mol/l doxorubicin [132 (S.E. 13%) of control, n = 6, P = 0.001]. However, when the inositol lipids were examined, there was no evidence that doxorubicin stimulated the breakdown of [32P]phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate under resting conditions, suggesting that the elevated levels of [32P]inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate were not the result of the stimulation of phospholipase C. Instead, it was found that the dephosphorylation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate by a 5'-phosphomonoesterase was partially inhibited by 10(-8) mol/l doxorubicin so that the rise in [32P]inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate resulted from the inhibition of the breakdown of constitutively released [32P] inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate. Similar data was also obtained with another aminoglycoside antibiotic, neomycin. The release of [32P] inositol 1,4-bisphosphate and [32P] inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and the breakdown of the inositol lipids in response to calcium (2.5 x 10(-4) and 10(-3) mol/l) stimulation was enhanced by doxorubicin (10(-6) to 10(-12) mol/l). These effects on resting and stimulated inositol lipid metabolism are discussed with reference to the paradoxical effects of doxorubicin to both stimulate and inhibit proliferation, according to concentration.

Abstract
Neutrophils activated by the formyl peptide f-Met-Leu-Phe transiently accumulate a small subset of highly polar inositol lipids. A similar family of lipids also appear in many other cells in response to a range of growth factors and activated oncogenes, and are presumed to be the direct or indirect products of 3-phosphatidylinositol kinase. The structures of these lipids are shown to be phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate, phosphatidylinositol-(3,4)bisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol-(3,4,5)trisphosphate, and we present evidence that in intact neutrophils a phosphatidyl-inositol-(4,5)bisphosphate-3-kinase seems to be the focal point through which agonists stimulate the formation of 3-phosphorylated inositol lipids.

Abstract
Unlike human erythrocytes, those from avian species, such as turkeys and chicks, rapidly incorporate myo-[3H]inositol into membrane phospholipids. The mechanisms regulating [3H]Ins labelling of phosphatidylinositol have been investigated using turkey erythrocyte membranes. In the absence of added nucleotides, [3H]inositol incorporation appears to proceed via phosphatidylinositol/inositol exchange, with a Km for inositol of 0.01 mM. The reaction was dependent upon divalent cations, either Mg2+ or Mn2+, with the latter metal ion being the more effective. [3H]Inositol incorporation was accelerated by CMP, especially when the concentration of Ins was greater than the Km for the exchange reaction. CMP-dependent labelling of PtdIns had a Km for inositol of 0.3 mM and for CMP of 0.015 mM. Divalent cations were also required for this reaction: activity peaked at 0.5 mM-Mn2+ and declined at higher concentrations. At relatively high concentrations, Mg2+ was more effective than Mn2+, with peak activity being achieved above 10 mM. CMP-dependent incorporation of [3H]inositol appears to reflect an exchange reaction catalysed by PtdIns synthase. Definitive evidence for the occurrence of PtdIns synthase in turkey erythrocyte membranes was obtained by demonstrating the formation of [14C]CMP-phosphatidate from [14C]CMP. The radioactivity could be efficiently chased from [14C]CMP-phosphatidate in the presence of unlabelled inositol. The detection of PtdIns synthase activity in morphologically simple turkey erythrocytes should help to clarify the subcellular distribution of this important component of the phosphatidylinositol cycle.

Abstract
An assay is described which allows the determination of the mass of any individual inositol phosphate (InsP) isomer by combining a popular h.p.l.c. separation method with simple desalting, dephosphorylation and final measurement of Ins liberated using an inositol dehydrogenase-NADH-linked bioluminescence reaction. The limit of sensitivity of this assay is about 1 pmol of Ins. routinely 5 pmol. About 40 mg wet wt. of guinea pig small intestine longitudinal smooth muscle contains 5 pmol of Ins(1,4,5)P3. For Inst(1,3,4)P3 or Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 slightly more smooth muscle is needed, and for major isomers of InsP1 or InsP2 10 mg wet wt. or less of tissue can be used. A 35 mm tissue culture plate with a confluent layer of rat fibroblasts contains about 30 pmol of Ins(1,4,5)P3. The method was applied to the measurement of the masses of Ins1P1. Ins4P1, Ins(1,4)P2, Ins(1,3,4)P3, Ins(1,4,5)P3, Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 and InsP5. The h.p.l.c. elution profiles of radiolabelled InsPS generated from [32P]Pi-labelled human Erythrocytes, [3H]Ins-labelled cultured rat fibroblasts and [3H]Ins-labelled smooth muscle fragments from guinea pig small intestine were compared with the h.p.l.c. elution profiles of their masses.

Abstract
The protein and phospholipid composition of microvesicles released from normal human erythrocytes after ATP depletion, on aging or by treatment with merocyanine 540, dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine or Ca2+/ionophore A23187 has been compared with the composition of the original cell membrane. It has been shown that these microvesicles are depleted of band 3, glycophorin and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate relative to phospholipid by 40% or more. These data are interpreted to mean that less than half of these membrane components are free to diffuse laterally in the lipid bilayer. Acetylcholinesterase was found to be enriched 2-3-fold in microvesicles, possibly because the removal of non-diffusing proteins from the vesiculating region of the lipid bilayer allows more space for freely diffusing proteins like acetylcholinesterase to enter the microvesicle membrane.

Abstract
In light of recent work implicating profilin from human platelets as a possible regulator of both cytoskeletal dynamics and inositol phospholipid-mediated signaling, we have further characterized the interaction of platelet profilin and the two isoforms of Acanthamoeba profilin with inositol phospholipids. Profilin from human platelets binds to phosphatidylinositol-4-monophosphate (PIP) and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) with relatively high affinity (Kd approximately 1 microM for PIP2 by equilibrium gel filtration), but interacts only weakly (if at all) with phosphatidylinositol (PI) or inositol trisphosphate IP3) in small-zone gel-filtration assays. The two isoforms of Acanthamoeba profilin both have a lower affinity for PIP2 than does human platelet profilin, but the more basic profilin isoform from Acanthamoeba (profilin-II) has a much higher (approximately 10-microM Kd) affinity than the acidic isoform (profilin-I, 100 to 500-microM Kd). None of the profilins bind to phosphatidylserine (PS) or phosphatidylcholine (PC) in small-zone gel-filtration experiments. The differences in affinity for PIP2 parallel the ability of these three profilins to inhibit PIP2 hydrolysis by soluble phospholipase C (PLC). The results show that the interaction of profilins with PIP2 is specific with respect to both the lipid and the proteins. In Acanthamoeba, the two isoforms of profilin may have specialized functions on the basis of their identical (approximately 10 microM) affinities for actin monomers and different affinities for PIP2.

Abstract
Both vasopressin and bradykinin activate the phosphoinositide cycle in WRK-1 rat mammary tumour cells. When the two agonists are added simultaneously, partial additivity is observed with respect to disappearance of prelabelled phosphoinositides and accumulation of inositol phosphates; no additivity is observed with respect to resynthesis of phosphatidylinositol as assessed by monitoring [32P]Pi incorporation. Lack of complete additivity can be explained, at least in part, by heterologous desensitization. In order to determine whether the two agonists were accessing a common or individual hormone-sensitive phosphoinositide pools, cells were incubated with [32P]Pi in the presence of either vasopressin or bradykinin and subsequently restimulated with the alternative agonist. The lipid pool labelled in the presence of either agonist was sensitive to subsequent treatment by the other ligand, suggesting a common phosphoinositide pool. However, when cells were incubated with [32P]Pi in the absence of agonists, the time course of labelling of the hormone-sensitive pool was different for bradykinin and vasopressin, with that for bradykinin becoming labelled within a much shorter time. Thus although there is a significant overlap between the phosphoinositide pools responding to vasopressin and bradykinin, there is a small fraction of the hormone-sensitive lipid which responds only to bradykinin.

Abstract
A method is reported for the synthesis of pyrene-labeled analogues of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (Pyr-PIP) and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate (Pyr-PIP2) from sn-2-(pyrenyl-decanoyl)phosphatidylinositol (Pyr-PI) using partially purified PI and PIP kinase preparations. Phosphorylation of Pyr-PI and Pyr-PIP was extensive (more than 50%) provided that the ATP concentration was high and that stabilizing agents such as sucrose and polyethylene glycol were present in the incubation medium. Pyr-PIP and Pyr-PIP2 were isolated by chromatography on immobilized neomycin. The identity of the products was established by thin-layer chromatography, UV-absorption spectroscopy, and spectrofluorometry. The pyrene excimer/monomer fluorescence technique revealed that, in contrast to Pyr-PI, Pyr-PIP and Pyr-PIP2 formed clusters in organic solvents. By use of the same technique for model membranes, it was shown that in phosphatidylcholine bilayers the collision frequency of the three fluorescent phosphoinositides decreased in the order PI greater than PIP greater than PIP2. Addition of Ca2+ at concentrations above 0.1 mM increased the collision frequency of Pyr-PIP2 and, to a much lesser extent, Pyr-PIP; Ca2+ had no effect on Pyr-PI.

Avian erythrocytes were incubated with myo-[3H]inositol for 6-7 h and with [32P]Pi for the final 50-90 min of this period. An acid extract was prepared from the prelabelled erythrocytes, and the specific radioactivities of the gamma-phosphate of ATP and of both the myo-inositol moieties (3H, d.p.m./nmol) and the individual phosphate groups (32P, d.p.m./nmol) of [3H]Ins[32P](1,3,4,6)P4,[3H]Ins[32P](1,3,4,5)P4, [3H]Ins[32P](3,4,5,6)P4 and [3H]Ins[32P](1,3,4,5,6)P5 were determined. The results provide direct confirmation that one of the cellular InsP4 isomers is Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 which is synthesized by sequential phosphorylation of the 1,4,5 and 3 substitution sites of the myo-Ins moiety, precisely as previously deduced [Batty, Nahorski & Irvine (1985) Biochem. J. 232, 211-215; Irvine, Letcher, Heslop & Berridge (1986) Nature (London) 320, 631-634]. This is compatible with the proposed synthetic route from PtdIns via PtdIns4P, PtdIns(4,5)P2 and Ins(1,4,5)P3. The data also suggest that, in avian erythrocytes, the principle precursor of Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P5 is Ins(3,4,5,6)P4. Furthermore, if the gamma- (and/or beta-) phosphate of ATP is the precursor of the phosphate moieties of Ins(3,4,5,6)P4, then this isomer must be derived from the phosphorylation of Ins(3,4,6)P3. If the gamma- (and/or beta-) phosphate of ATP similarly acts as the ultimate precursor to all of the phosphates of Ins(1,3,4,6)P4, then, in intact avian erythrocytes, the main precursor of Ins(1,3,4,6)P4 is Ins(1,4,6)P3. This contrasts with the expectation, based on results with cell-free systems, that Ins(1,3,4,6)P4 is synthesized by the direct phosphorylation of Ins(1,3,4)P3.

Abstract
1. Human erythrocytes were incubated in autologous plasma containing [32P]Pi, and sampled by a method which avoids washing the cells. 2. In experiments of up to 3 h duration, the specific radioactivity of cellular Pi stabilized at a value below that of extracellular Pi. This can be explained on the basis of a single cellular Pi pool exchanging with a large unlabelled pool of cellular organic phosphates. 3. However, a rapid initial phase of labelling, occurring within 30 s, was inconsistent with the situation described in point 2. A possible explanation is that about 1/4 of cellular Pi occurs in a separate, fast-labelling pool. 4. When the extracellular Pi concentration was doubled, most of the corresponding increase in the steady-state cellular Pi concentration was accounted for by the apparent fast-labelling Pi pool, which also doubled. 5. The observed initial rate of labelling of cellular organic phosphates [which probably occurs through the reaction catalysed by glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (E.C. 1.2.1.12)] was considerably lower than that predicted from the flux through the Embden-Meyerhof pathway. This implies that the enzyme is exposed to Pi whose specific radioactivity is lower than the mean specific radioactivity of cellular Pi, and fails to support earlier suggestions that this enzyme uses extracellular Pi. 6. In 3 h incubations, the rate of organic phosphate labelling was roughly constant throughout, even though the specific radioactivity of cellular Pi had risen slowly to a plateau. Viewed in conjunction with point 5, this again suggests some inhomogeneity in cellular Pi. 7. Cellular Pi and extracellular Pi only reached isotopic steady state after 2 days. At this stage some organic phosphates were probably still incompletely labelled. 8. We conclude that, whatever their physical or technical reasons, such labelling inhomogeneities and slow attainment of isotopic steady state may cause serious misinterpretation of results if ignored during 32P-labelling of intact cells.
