Abstract
Among the structural phospholipids that form the bulk of eukaryotic cell membranes, phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) is unique in that it also serves as the common precursor for low-abundance regulatory lipids, collectively referred to as polyphosphoinositides (PPIn). The metabolic turnover of PPIn species has received immense attention because of the essential functions of these lipids as universal regulators of membrane biology and their dysregulation in numerous human pathologies. The diverse functions of PPIn lipids occur, in part, by orchestrating the spatial organization and conformational dynamics of peripheral or integral membrane proteins within defined subcellular compartments. The emerging role of stable contact sites between adjacent membranes as specialized platforms for the coordinate control of ion exchange, cytoskeletal dynamics, and lipid transport has also revealed important new roles for PPIn species. In this review, we highlight the importance of membrane contact sites formed between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and plasma membrane (PM) for the integrated regulation of PPIn metabolism within the PM. Special emphasis will be placed on non-vesicular lipid transport during control of the PtdIns biosynthetic cycle as well as toward balancing the turnover of the signaling PPIn species that define PM identity.

Abstract
Structural lipids are mostly synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), from which they are actively transported to the membranes of other organelles. Lipids can leave the ER through vesicular trafficking or non-vesicular lipid transfer and, curiously, both processes can be regulated either by the transported lipid cargos themselves or by different secondary lipid species. For most structural lipids, transport out of the ER membrane is a key regulatory component controlling their synthesis. Distribution of the lipids between the two leaflets of the ER bilayer or between the ER and other membranes is also critical for maintaining the unique membrane properties of each cellular organelle. How cells integrate these processes within the ER depends on fine spatial segregation of the molecular components and intricate metabolic channeling, both of which we are only beginning to understand. This review will summarize some of these complex processes and attempt to identify the organizing principles that start to emerge. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Endoplasmic reticulum platforms for lipid dynamics edited by Shamshad Cockcroft and Christopher Stefan.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol (PI) is a phospholipid molecule required for the generation of seven different phosphoinositide lipids which have a diverse range of signaling and trafficking functions. The precise mechanism of phosphatidylinositol supply during receptor activated signaling and the cellular compartmentation of the synthetic process are still incompletely understood and remain controversial despite several decades of research in this area. The synthesis of phosphatidylinositol requires the activity of an enzyme called phosphatidylinositol synthase, also known as CDIPT, which catalyzes a reversible headgroup exchange reaction on its substrate liponucleotide CDP-diacylglycerol resulting in the incorporation of inositol to generate phosphatidylinositol and the release of CMP. This protocol describes a method for locating PI synthase activity in isolated, intact biological membranes and vesicles.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol (PI) is a ubiquitous membrane lipid in eukaryotes. It is becoming increasingly obvious that PI and its metabolites play a myriad of very diverse roles in eukaryotic cells. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae PIS1 gene is essential and encodes PI synthase, which is required for the synthesis of PI. Recently, PIS1 expression was found to be regulated in response to carbon source and oxygen availability. It is particularly significant that the promoter elements required for these responses are conserved evolutionarily throughout the Saccharomyces genus. In addition, several genome-wide strategies coupled with more traditional screens suggest that several other factors regulate PIS1 expression. The impact of regulating PIS1 expression on PI synthesis will be discussed along with the possible role(s) that this may have on diseases such as cancer.

Abstract
In order to study some of its enzymatic properties, phosphatidylinositol synthase 1 (AtPIS1) from the plant Arabidopsis thaliana was expressed in Escherichia coli, a host naturally devoid of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns). In the context of the bacterial membrane and in addition to de novo synthesis, the plant enzyme is capable of catalysing the exchange of the inositol polar head for another inositol. Our data clearly show that the CDP-diacylglycerol-independent exchange reaction can occur using endogenous PtdIns molecular species or PtdIns molecular species from soybean added exogenously. Exchange has been observed in the absence of cytidine monophosphate (CMP), but is greatly enhanced in the presence of 4 microm CMP. Our data also show that AtPIS1 catalyses the removal of the polar head in the presence of much higher concentrations of CMP, in a manner that suggests a reverse of synthesis. All of the PtdIns metabolizing activities require free manganese ions. EDTA, in the presence of low Mn2+ concentrations, also has an enhancing effect.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol synthase (CDP-diacylglycerol:myo-inositol 3-phosphatidyl-transferase, EC 2.7.8.11) is a 24-kDa membrane-bound enzyme. It is present in all mammalian cells and is localized predominantly to the endoplasmic reticulum. The enzyme performs the last step in the de novo biosynthesis of the phospholipid phosphatidylinositol by catalyzing the condensation of CDP-diacylglycerol and myo-inositol to form the products phosphatidylinositol and CMP. Phosphatidylinositol, apart from being an essential membrane phospholipid, is involved in protein membrane anchoring and is the precursor for the second messengers inositol-tri-phosphate and diacylglycerol.

Abstract
We have previously demonstrated a permissive role for GTP in insulin secretion; in the current studies, we examined the effect of GTP on phospholipase C (PLC) activation to explore one possible mechanism for that observation. In rat islets preexposed to the GTP synthesis inhibitors mycophenolic acid (MPA) or mizoribine (MZ), PLC activation induced by 16.7 mM glucose (or by 20 mM alpha-ketoisocaproic acid) was inhibited 63% without altering the labeling of phosphoinositide substrates. Provision of guanine, which normalizes islet GTP content and insulin release, prevented the inhibition of PLC by MPA. Glucose-induced phosphoinositide hydrolysis was blocked by removal of extracellular Ca2+ or by diazoxide. PLC induced directly by Ca2+ influx (i.e., 40 mM K+) was reduced 42% in MPA-pretreated islets but without inhibition of the concomitant insulin release. These data indicate that glucose-induced PLC activation largely reflects Ca2+ entry and demonstrate (for the first time in intact cells) that adequate GTP is necessary for glucose (and Ca(2+)-)-induced PLC activation but not for maximal Ca(2+)-induced exocytosis.

Abstract
The nature of reactions catalysed by yeast phosphatidylinositol synthase expressed in E. coli has been investigated. The single enzyme is shown to carry both CDP-diacylglycerol-dependent incorporation of inositol into phosphatidylinositol (Km for inositol of 0.090 mM) and a CDP-diacylglycerol-independent exchange reaction between phosphatidylinositol and inositol (Km for inositol of 0.066 mM). The exchange reaction and reversal of phosphatidylinositol synthase were both stimulated by CMP, but had different optimum pH and requirements for substrates. These results suggest that CMP-stimulated exchange and CMP-dependent reverse reactions are distinct processes catalysed by the same enzyme, phosphatidylinositol synthase.

Abstract
While searching for the identity of the effector of the putative GTP-binding protein involved in fusion of rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) cell-free incubation conditions were found permitting fusion in a GTP-independent manner. Membrane fusion was obtained using medium required to study synthesis of phosphatidylinositol (PI). We now report on the effects of various co-factors and intermediates of the PI cycle on the interaction of rough microsomes. By freeze-fracture, fusion of rough microsomes was defined as the appearance of fracture-planes of membrane larger than those of unincubated membrane. Cytosine triphosphate (CTP, 3 mM) in the presence of 2 mM MnCl2 was most effective in stimulating fusion. Guanosine triphosphate (GTP) at the same concentration, could substitute for CTP to stimulate fusion, ATP, ITP, UTP and guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP gamma S) could not. When combined together in the same medium CTP potentiated the effect of GTP. Arachidonic acid (20 micrograms/ml) also stimulated fusion in the presence of MnCl2. This led to the appearance of large fracture-planes of membrane with a heterogeneous distribution of intramembranous particles. Other saturated fatty acids at the same concentration did not stimulate fusion. Phosphatidylinositol (PI, 50 micrograms) and 2 mM MnCl2 had a similar effect as arachidonic acid and MnCl2 in stimulating fusion. The PI effect was largely augmented in the presence of CTP. Our results are consistent with the concept that metabolism of phospholipids may modulate GTP-dependent fusion of RER membranes.

Abstract
We showed previously that 5'-CMP activates PtdIns-Ins base exchange and reversal PtdIns synthase in permeabilized rat pituitary GH3 cells. Here we report another effect of 5'-CMP on PtdIns metabolism in these cells. In permeabilized GH3 cells prelabelled with [3H]Ins and incubated in buffer with LiCl and a free Ca2+ concentration of 0.1 microM but without added Ins, 5'-CMP stimulated formation of glycerophospho[3H]inositol (GroP[3H]Ins) after a lag period of at least 5 min. This effect was concentration-dependent; the apparent Km was 0.30 +/- 0.02 mM. CDP and CTP stimulated GroPIns formation less effectively than did 5'-CMP, but cytidine, 2'-CMP, 3'-CMP, 5'-AMP and 5'-GMP had no effect. 5'-CMP stimulated formation of lysoPtdIns also. In permeabilized GH3 cells prelabelled with [3H]arachidonic acid, 5'-CMP stimulated release of [3H]arachidonic acid without a measurable lag period. These data show that 5'-CMP stimulates a phospholipase A activity in permeabilized GH3 cells that hydrolyses PtdIns.
