Abstract
Signaling lipids control many of the most important biological pathways, typically by recruiting cognate protein binding targets to cell surfaces, thereby regulating both their function and subcellular localization. A critical family of signaling lipids is that of the phosphatidylinositol polyphosphates (PIP(n)s), which is composed of seven isomers that vary based on phosphorylation pattern. A key protein that is activated upon PIP(n) binding is Akt, which then plays important roles in regulating the cell cycle, and is thus aberrant in disease. Characterization of protein-PIP(n) binding interactions is hindered by the complexity of the membrane environment and of the PIP(n) structures. Herein, we describe two rapid assays of use for characterizing protein-PIP(n) binding interactions. First, a microplate-based binding assay was devised to characterize the binding of effectors to immobilized synthetic PIP(n) headgroup-biotin conjugates corresponding to all seven isomers. The assay was implemented for simultaneous analysis of Akt-PH domain, indicating PI(3,4,5)P(3) and PI(3,4)P(2) as the primary ligands. In addition, density-dependant studies indicated that the amount of ligand immobilized on the surface affected the amplitude of protein binding, but not the affinity, for Akt-PH. Since the PIP(n) ligand motifs used in this analysis lack the membrane environment and glycerolipid backbone, yet still exhibit high-affinity protein binding, these results narrow down the structural requirements for Akt recognition. Additionally, binding detection was also achieved through microarray analysis via the robotic pin printing of ligands onto glass slides in a miniaturized format. Here, fluorescence-based detection provided sensitive detection of binding using minimal amounts of materials. Due to their high-throughput and versatile attributes, these assays provide invaluable tools for probing and perturbing protein-membrane binding interactions.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol polyphosphate lipids, such as phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PI(3,4,5)P₃], regulate critical biological processes, many of which are aberrant in disease. These lipids often act as site-specific ligands in interactions that enforce membrane association of protein binding partners. Herein, we describe the development of bifunctional activity probes corresponding to the headgroup of PI(3,4,5)P₃ that are effective for identifying and characterizing protein binding partners from complex samples, namely cancer cell extracts. These probes contain both a photoaffinity tag for covalent labeling of target proteins and a secondary handle for subsequent detection or manipulation of labeled proteins. Probes bearing different secondary tags were exploited, either by direct attachment of a fluorescent dye for optical detection or by using an alkyne that can be derivatized after protein labeling via click chemistry. First, we describe the design and modular synthetic strategy used to generate multiple probes with different reporter tags of use for characterizing probe-labeled proteins. Next, we report initial labeling studies using purified protein, the PH domain of Akt, in which probes were found to label this target, as judged by in-gel detection. Furthermore, protein labeling was abrogated by controls including competition with an unlabeled PI(3,4,5)P₃ headgroup analogue as well as through protein denaturation, indicating specific labeling. In addition, probes featuring linkers of different lengths between the PI(3,4,5)P₃ headgroup and photoaffinity tag led to variations in protein labeling, indicating that a shorter linker was more effective in this case. Finally, proteomic labeling studies were performed using cell extracts; labeled proteins were observed by in-gel detection and characterized using postlabeling with biotin, affinity chromatography, and identification via tandem mass spectrometry. These studies yielded a total of 265 proteins, including both known and novel candidate PI(3,4,5)P₃-binding proteins.

Abstract
Membrane lipids act as important regulators of a litany of important physiological and pathophysiological events. Many of them act as site-specific ligands for cytosolic proteins in binding events that recruit receptors to the cell surface and control both protein function and subcellular localization. Phosphatidylinositol phosphates (PIP(n)s) are a family of signaling lipids that regulate numerous cellular processes by interacting with a myriad of protein binding modules. Characterization of PIP(n)-binding proteins has been hampered by the lack of a rapid and convenient quantitative assay. Herein, microplate-based detection is presented as an effective approach to characterizing protein-PIP(n) binding interactions at the molecular level. With this assay, the binding of proteins to isolated PIP(n) headgroups is detected with high sensitivity using a platform that is amenable to high-throughput screening. In the studies described herein, biotinylated PI-(4,5)-P(2) headgroup analogue 1 was designed, synthesized, and immobilized onto 96-well streptavidin-coated microplates to study receptor binding. This assay was used to characterize the binding of the PH domain of beta-spectrin to this headgroup. The high affinity interaction that was detected for surface association (K(d, surf) = 6 nM +/- 3), demonstrates that receptor binding modules can form high affinity interactions with lipid headgroups outside of a membrane environment. The results also indicate the feasibility of the assay for rapid characterization of PIP(n)-binding proteins as well as the promise for high-throughput analysis of protein-PIP(n) binding interactions. Finally, this assay was also employed to characterize the inhibition of the binding of receptors to the PIP(n)-derivatized microplates using solution phase competitors. This showcases the viability of this assay for rapid screening of inhibitors of PIP(n)-binding proteins.

Abstract
2-O-(2-Aminoethyl)-Ins(1,4,5)P(3), (5), a novel derivative of the Ca(2+)-mobilising second messenger d-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P(3)], was synthesised from myo-inositol. 5 was found to be a potent mobiliser of intracellular Ca(2+), and an Ins(1,4,5)P(3) affinity matrix synthesised from 5 was effective at selectively binding N-terminal fragments of the Ins(1,4,5)P(3) receptor containing the intact Ins(1,4,5)P(3) binding site. The microprotonation scheme for 5 was resolved and the related constants were determined in comparison with Ins(1,4,5)P(3) and another reactive Ins(1,4,5)P(3) analogue 1-O-(2-aminoethyl-1-phospho)-Ins(4,5)P(2), (2a), by potentiometric and NMR titration methods. The (31)P and (1)H NMR titration curves for compound 5 and Ins(1,4,5)P(3) are remarkably close, indicating analogous acid-base properties and intramolecular interactions for the two compounds. The 1-phosphate-modified Ins(1,4,5)P(3) derivative 2a, on the contrary, behaves as a bisphosphorylated rather than a trisphosphorylated inositol. Thus, 5 is a new reactive Ins(1,4,5)P(3) analogue of considerable potential for investigation of the chemical biology of Ins(1,4,5)P(3)-mediated cellular signalling.

Abstract
IP3 analogs were synthesized by the modification of phosphate at the 1-position, and their affinity for the IP3 receptor was analyzed by means of surface plasmon resonance measurements. Our results suggest that a hydrophobic and charged moiety linked to this position enhances the affinity for the IP3 receptor.

Abstract
A soluble inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase (InsP3 3-kinase) has been characterized from extracts of rat thymus. The enzyme was shown to have a molecular weight within the range 98,000-114,000 M(r) as determined by regeneration of enzyme activity from sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gels. The enzyme phosphorylates inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) to inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (InsP4) with an apparent Km of 3.1 +/- 0.4 microM. The enzyme is stimulated 4-6-fold by Ca2+/calmodulin and is not recognised by polyclonal antisera raised against rat brain InsP3 3-kinase A. High levels of InsP3 3-kinase activity were also detected in soluble extracts of human lymphocyte preparations. The human lymphocyte enzyme was shown to have a molecular weight between 61,000 and 70,000 M(r) as judged by SDS-PAGE, and was stimulated approximately 10-fold in the presence of Ca2+/calmodulin. These results establish that InsP3 3-kinase from rat thymus and human lymphocyte preparations represent high molecular weight isoenzymes of the InsP3 3-kinase family.

Abstract
To further understand how the second messenger D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] interacts with its intracellular receptor, we injected 47 highly purified inositol phosphate (InsP) positional isomers in Xenopus oocytes and compared their potency in releasing intracellular Ca2+. The potency of the Ca(2+)-releasing InsPs spanned four orders of magnitude. Seven compounds, including the novel inositol 1,2,4,5-tetrakisphosphate [D/L-Ins (1,2,4,5)P4] and D/L-Ins(1,4,6)P3, had a very high potency. All of these highly active InsPs shared the following structure: two D-trans-equatorial phosphates (eq-P) and one equatorial hydroxyl (eq-OH) attached to ring carbons D-4, D-5, and D-6 (or to the structurally equivalent D-1, D-6, and D-5 carbons). This permissive structure was not sufficient for Ca2+ release, because it was also found in two inactive compounds, Ins(1,6)P2 and Ins(1,3,6)P3. To be active, InsPs also required the structural equivalent of a D-3 eq-OH and/or a D-1 eq-P. Together, our data reveal how the structure of the InsP molecule affects its ability to release Ca2+.

Abstract
A series of myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate analogues with the 2-acyl substituents p-aminobenzoyl (7), p-azidobenzoyl (8), 4-(5-[2-(benzamido)ethyl]-2-hydroxyphenylazo)benzoyl (9), and cis,trans-4-aminocyclohexylcarbonyl (10) were synthesised and examined for their effects on the 5-phosphatase, the 3-kinase, the tritiated trisphosphate-binding activity, and the Ca(2+)-releasing activity. Each analogue inhibited the hydrolysis of D-[5-32P]Ins(1,4,5)P3 and the phosphorylation of D-[3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3, catalysed by erythrocyte ghosts and brain cytosol, respectively. The analogues acted as full agonists in releasing Ca2+ from permeabilised cells and also inhibited the binding of D-[3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 to cerebellum microsomes. The analogues 7 and 10 were utilised for immobilisation of the trisphosphate on Sepharose and the subsequent affinity chromatography effected purification of the above proteins. A photoaffinity probe, the appendage of which acted as the photoaffinity probe as well as a non-radioactive molecular marker, was also derived from the analogue 7.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3), a product of G-protein-mediated receptor activation of phosphoinositide turnover, plays the role of a second messenger when olfactory neurons are stimulated with certain olfactory stimuli. In this paper we examine the specific binding of [3H]InsP3 to isolated olfactory cilia, microsomes and brain membranes from the channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) and, by photoaffinity labelling with an InsP3 analogue (125I-labelled 1-[3-(4-azidosalicyloxy)-aminopropyl]inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (125I-ASA-InsP3)], we tentatively identify the major InsP3-binding protein in catfish olfactory cilia. InsP3 binding to ciliary membranes is specific and saturable, with a Kd of 1.10 +/- 0.31 microM and a maximum number of binding sites (Bmax) of 17.6 +/- 5.8 pmol/mg. The rank order for potency of inhibition of [3H]InsP3 binding is Ins(1,4)P2 less than Ins(1,3,4)P3 less than Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 = Ins(1,4,5)P3 less than Ins(2,4,5)P3. Exposure of cilia membranes to u.v. light in the presence of 125I-ASA-InsP3 results in the labelling of a protein with apparent Mr 107,000. Labelling is specifically prevented by Ins(1,4,5)P3, Ins(2,4,5)P3 and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, but not by Ins(1,4)P2 or Ins(1,3,4)P3. Both specific [3H]InsP3 binding and photoaffinity labelling of the Mr-107,000 protein were displaced by heparin. The Kd and the inhibition of [3H]InsP3 binding and of photoaffinity labelling by inositol phosphates and heparin are consistent with the ability of micromolar concentrations of Ins(1,4,5)P3 [but not Ins(1,3,4)P3] to activate the InsP3-gated currents in patch-clamp experiments with olfactory neurons. These results suggest that InsP3 binding to a Mr-107,000 cilia membrane protein may represent binding to the olfactory InsP3-gated cation channel.

Abstract
A photolabile arylazido analogue of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 selectively substituted at the 1-phosphate group was synthesized by coupling 2-aminoethanol(1)-1-phospho-D-myo-inositol 4,5-bisphosphate with N-hydroxysuccinimidyl-4-azidosalicylic acid [Schäfer, Nehls-Sahabandu, Grabowsky, Dehlinger-Kremer, Schulz & Mayr (1990) Biochem. J. 272, 817-825] and subsequently phosphorylating the product by bovine brain Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase. The product, N-(4-azidosalicyl)-aminoethanol(1)-1-phospho-D-myo-inositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [AsaIns(1,3,4,5)P4] was radioiodinated and purified by anion-exchange chromatography. AsaIns(1,3,4,5)P4 bound to a high-affinity Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 receptor from pig cerebellum with an affinity only 3-fold lower than that of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4. Photoirradiation of 125I-AsaIns(1,3,4,5)P4 in the presence of the receptor preparation revealed that the radioactive label was specifically associated with a protein band of apparent molecular mass 42 kDa, which Donié & Reiser [(1991) Biochem. J. 275, 453-457] had previously tentatively assigned to the Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 receptor protein. The radioactive label was displaced from the receptor when the binding reaction with 125I-AsaIns(1,3,4,5)P4 was carried out in the presence of 5 microM-Ins(1,3,4,5)P4.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) is a soluble intracellular messenger formed rapidly after activation of a variety of cell-surface receptors that stimulate phosphoinositidase C activity. The initial response to Ins(1,4,5)P3 is a rapid Ca2+ efflux from nonmitochondrial intracellular stores which are probably specialized subcompartments of the endoplasmic reticulum, although their exact identities remain unknown. This initial response is followed by more complex Ca2+ signals: regenerative Ca2+ waves propagate across the cell, repetitive Ca2+ spikes occur, and stimulated Ca2+ entry across the plasma membrane contributes to the sustained Ca2+ signal. The mechanisms underlying these complex Ca2+ signals are unknown, although Ins(1,4,5)P3 is clearly involved. The intracellular receptor that mediates Ins(1,4,5)P3-stimulated Ca2+ mobilization has been purified and functionally reconstituted, and its amino acid sequence deduced from its cDNA sequence. These studies demonstrate that the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor has an integral Ca2+ channel separated from the Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding site by a long stretch of residues some of which form binding sites for allosteric regulators, and some of which are substrates for phosphorylation. In this review, we discuss the ligand recognition characteristics of Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptors, and their functional properties in their native environment and after purification, and we relate these properties to what is known of the structure of the receptor. In addition to regulation by Ins(1,4,5)P3, the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor is subject to many additional regulatory influences which include Ca2+, adenine nucleotides, pH and phosphorylation by protein kinases. Many of the functional and structural characteristics of the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor show striking similarities to another intracellular Ca2+ channel, the ryanodine receptor. These properties of the Ins(1,4,5)P3 are discussed, and their possible roles in contributing to the complex Ca2+ signals evoked by extracellular stimuli are considered.
