Oncogenic mutations of PIK3CA lead to increased membrane recruitment driven by reorientation of the ABD, p85 and C-terminus. Nat Commun 2023; 14:181. [PMID: 36635288 PMCID: PMC9837058 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-35789-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2022] [Accepted: 12/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/14/2023] Open
Abstract
PIK3CA encoding the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) p110α catalytic subunit is frequently mutated in cancer, with mutations occurring widely throughout the primary sequence. The full set of mechanisms underlying how PI3Ks are activated by all oncogenic mutations on membranes are unclear. Using a synergy of biochemical assays and hydrogen deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS), we reveal unique regulatory mechanisms underlying PI3K activation. Engagement of p110α on membranes leads to disengagement of the ABD of p110α from the catalytic core, and the C2 domain from the iSH2 domain of the p85 regulatory subunit. PI3K activation also requires reorientation of the p110α C-terminus, with mutations that alter the inhibited conformation of the C-terminus increasing membrane binding. Mutations at the C-terminus (M1043I/L, H1047R, G1049R, and N1068KLKR) activate p110α through distinct mechanisms, with this having important implications for mutant selective inhibitor development. This work reveals unique mechanisms underlying how PI3K is activated by oncogenic mutations, and explains how double mutants can synergistically increase PI3K activity.

CircSEMA4B inhibits the progression of breast cancer by encoding a novel protein SEMA4B-211aa and regulating AKT phosphorylation. Cell Death Dis 2022; 13:794.

Abstract
PI3K/AKT signaling pathway plays an important role in regulating the tumorigenesis, recurrence, and metastasis of breast cancer (BC). In this study, we discovered a circRNA with protein-coding potential, which we named circSEMA4B. CircSEMA4B could encode a novel protein, SEMA4B-211aa. Both circSEMA4B and SEMA4B-211aa were remarkably downregulated in BC tissues and cell lines. Low expression of circSEMA4B was positively associated with TNM stage, tumor size, lymph node metastasis, and distant metastasis of BC patients. The functional investigation showed that circSEMA4B and SEMA4B-211aa could significantly inhibit the proliferation and migration of BC in vivo and in vitro. Of note, SEMA4B-211aa inhibited the generation of PIP3 by binding to p85, thereby inhibiting the phosphorylation of AKT (Thr308). CircSEMA4B inhibited the phosphorylation of AKT (Ser473) through miR-330-3p/PDCD4 axis. Taken together, circSEMA4B is a novel negative regulator of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, providing novel mechanistic insights into the underlying mechanisms of BC.

Abstract
AbstractFrom the time of first characterization of PI3K as a heterodimer made up of a p110 catalytic subunit and a regulatory subunit, a wealth of evidence have placed the class IA PI3Ks at the forefront of drug development for the treatment of various diseases including cancer. The p110α isoform was quickly brought at the centre of attention in the field of cancer research by the discovery of cancer-specific gain-of-function mutations in PIK3CA gene in a range of human solid tumours. In contrast, p110δ PI3K was placed into the spotlight of immunity, inflammation and haematologic malignancies because of the preferential expression of this isoform in leucocytes and the rare mutations in PIK3CD gene. The last decade, however, several studies have provided evidence showing that the correlation between the PIK3CA mutations and the response to PI3K inhibition is less clear than originally considered, whereas concurrently an unexpected role of p110δ PI3K in solid tumours has being emerging. While PIK3CD is mostly non-mutated in cancer, the expression levels of p110δ protein seem to act as an intrinsic cancer-causing driver in various solid tumours including breast, prostate, colorectal and liver cancer, Merkel-Cell carcinoma, glioblastoma and neurobalstoma. Furthermore, p110δ selective inhibitors are being studied as potential single agent treatments or as combination partners in attempt to improve cancer immunotherapy, with both strategies to shown great promise for the treatment of several solid tumours. In this review, we discuss the evidence implicating the p110δ PI3K in human solid tumours, their impact on the current state of the field and the potential of using p110δ-selective inhibitors as monotherapy or combined therapy in different cancer contexts.

Abstract
Clinical challenges exist in reducing prostate cancer (PCa) disparities. The RNA splicing landscape of PCa across racial populations has not been fully explored as a potential molecular mechanism contributing to race-related tumour aggressiveness. Here, we identify novel genome-wide, race-specific RNA splicing events as critical drivers of PCa aggressiveness and therapeutic resistance in African American (AA) men. AA-enriched splice variants of PIK3CD, FGFR3, TSC2 and RASGRP2 contribute to greater oncogenic potential compared with corresponding European American (EA)-expressing variants. Ectopic overexpression of the newly cloned AA-enriched variant, PIK3CD-S, in EA PCa cell lines enhances AKT/mTOR signalling and increases proliferative and invasive capacity in vitro and confers resistance to selective PI3Kδ inhibitor, CAL-101 (idelalisib), in mouse xenograft models. High PIK3CD-S expression in PCa specimens associates with poor survival. These results highlight the potential of RNA splice variants to serve as novel biomarkers and molecular targets for developmental therapeutics in aggressive PCa.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) activity is important for regulating cell growth, survival, and motility. We report here the identification of bromodomain-containing protein 7 (BRD7) as a p85α-interacting protein that negatively regulates PI3K signaling. BRD7 binds to the inter-SH2 (iSH2) domain of p85 through an evolutionarily conserved region located at the C terminus of BRD7. Via this interaction, BRD7 facilitates nuclear translocation of p85α. The BRD7-dependent depletion of p85 from the cytosol impairs formation of p85/p110 complexes in the cytosol, leading to a decrease in p110 proteins and in PI3K pathway signaling. In contrast, silencing of endogenous BRD7 expression by RNAi increases the steady-state level of p110 proteins and enhances Akt phosphorylation after stimulation. These data suggest that BRD7 and p110 compete for the interaction to p85. The unbound p110 protein is unstable, leading to the attenuation of PI3K activity, which suggests how BRD7 could function as a tumor suppressor.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, our understanding of phospoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) has progressed from the identification of an enzymatic activity associated with growth factors, GPCRs and certain oncogene products to a disease target in cancer and inflammation, with PI3K inhibitors currently in clinical trials. Elucidation of PI3K-dependent networks led to the discovery of the phosphoinositide-binding PH, PX and FYVE domains as conduits of intracellular lipid signalling, the determination of the molecular function of the tumour suppressor PTEN and the identification of AKT and mTOR protein kinases as key regulators of cell growth. Here we look back at the main discoveries that shaped the PI3K field.

Abstract
From humble beginnings over 25 years ago as a lipid kinase activity associated with certain oncoproteins, PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase) has been catapulted to the forefront of drug development in cancer, immunity and thrombosis, with the first clinical trials of PI3K pathway inhibitors now in progress. Here, we give a brief overview of some key discoveries in the PI3K area and their impact, and include thoughts on the current state of the field, and where it could go from here.PI3K has become a very intense area of research, with over 2,000 publications on PI3K in PubMed for 2009 alone. The expectations for a therapeutic impact of intervention with PI3K activity are high, and progress in the clinical arena is being monitored by many. However, targeted therapies almost invariably encounter roadblocks, often exposing unresolved questions in the basic understanding of the target. PI3K will most likely be no exception. Below, we describe some of these early "surprises" and how these inform and shape basic science investigations.

Abstract
We characterized the catalytic subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase in Aedes aegypti (Aaegp110). Aaegp110 is an essential component of the insulin/ insulin growth factor I signaling (IIS) cascade, which regulates aging, reproduction, and other physiological processes in diverse organisms. The Aaegp110 gene encodes five putative domains (adapter binding, ras binding, C2, helical, and PI3-kinase) identified by sequence homology with other p110 proteins. Aaegp110 transcript was expressed during all A. aegypti life stages except late pupae, with particularly high levels in embryos. In female tissues, Aaegp110 transcript and protein were strongly expressed in ovaries, and moderately expressed in midguts, fat bodies and heads. The importance of IIS in mosquito reproduction led us to examine Aaegp110 ovarian expression during reproduction. Aaegp110 was expressed in ovaries prior to and during the first 24h post-bloodmeal, but undetectable 36-48 h post-bloodmeal. Following oviposition Aaegp110 protein levels returned to pre-bloodmeal levels. In reproductively arrested ovaries, Aaegp110 was present predominantly in the cytoplasm of follicle cells surrounding the oocyte. In vitro stimulation of the ovaries with 17 microM bovine insulin resulted in translocation of Aaegp110 from the cytoplasm to cell membrane in 15s. Lower concentrations (0.17 microM) also recruited Aaegp110 to the cell membrane.

Abstract
Class IA phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) signal downstream of tyrosine kinases and Ras and control a wide variety of biological responses. In mammals, these heterodimeric PI3Ks consist of a p110 catalytic subunit (p110alpha, p110beta, or p110delta) bound to any of five distinct regulatory subunits (p85alpha, p85beta, p55gamma, p55alpha, and p50alpha, collectively referred to as "p85s"). The relative expression levels of p85 and p110 have been invoked to explain key features of PI3K signaling. For example, free (i.e., non-p110-bound) p85alpha has been proposed to negatively regulate PI3K signaling by competition with p85/p110 for recruitment to phosphotyrosine docking sites. Using affinity and ion exchange chromatography and quantitative mass spectrometry, we demonstrate that the p85 and p110 subunits are present in equimolar amounts in mammalian cell lines and tissues. No evidence for free p85 or p110 subunits could be obtained. Cell lines contain 10,000-15,000 p85/p110 complexes per cell, with p110beta and p110delta being the most prevalent catalytic subunits in nonleukocytes and leukocytes, respectively. These results argue against a role of free p85 in PI3K signaling and provide insights into the nonredundant functions of the different class IA PI3K isoforms.

Abstract
Signaling initiated by Class Ia phosphatidylinositol-3-kinases (PI3Ks) is essential for cell proliferation and survival. We discovered a novel protein we call PI3K interacting protein 1 (PIK3IP1) that shares homology with the p85 regulatory PI3K subunit. Using a variety of in vitro and cell based assays, we demonstrate that PIK3IP1 directly binds to the p110 catalytic subunit and down modulates PI3K activity. Our studies suggest that PIK3IP1 is a new type of PI3K regulator.

Abstract
Class IA PI3Ks (phosphoinositide 3-kinases) consist of a p110 catalytic subunit bound to one of five regulatory subunits, known as p85s. Under unstimulated conditions, p85 stabilizes the labile p110 protein, while inhibiting its catalytic activity. Recruitment of the p85–p110 complex to receptors and adaptor proteins via the p85 SH2 (Src homology 2) domains alleviates this inhibition, leading to PI3K activation and production of PIP3 (phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate). Four independent p85 KO (knockout) mouse lines have been generated. Remarkably, PI3K signalling in insulin-sensitive tissues of these mice is increased. The existence of p110-free p85 in insulin-responsive cells has been invoked to explain this observation. Such a monomeric p85 would compete with heterodimeric p85–p110 for pTyr (phosphotyrosine) recruitment, and thus repress PI3K activity. Reduction in the pool of p110-free p85 in p85 KO mice was thought to allow recruitment of functional heterodimeric p85–p110, leading to increased PI3K activity. However, recent results indicate that monomeric p85, like p110, is unstable in cells. Moreover, overexpressed free p85 does not necessarily compete with heterodimeric p85–p110 for receptor binding. Using a variety of approaches, we have observed a 1:1 ratio between the p85 and p110 subunits in murine cell lines and primary tissues. Alternative models to explain the increase in PI3K signalling in insulin-responsive cells of p85 KO mice, based on possible effects of p85 deletion on phosphatases acting on PIP3, are discussed.

Abstract
Class I(A) phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) is a key component of important intracellular signalling cascades. We have identified an adaptor protein, Ruk(l), which forms complexes with the PI 3-kinase holoenzyme in vitro and in vivo. This interaction involves the proline-rich region of Ruk and the SH3 domain of the p85 alpha regulatory subunit of the class I(A) PI 3-kinase. In contrast to many other adaptor proteins that activate PI 3-kinase, interaction with Ruk(l) substantially inhibits the lipid kinase activity of the enzyme. Overexpression of Ruk(l) in cultured primary neurons induces apoptosis, an effect that could be reversed by co-expression of constitutively activated forms of the p110 alpha catalytic subunit of PI 3-kinase or its downstream effector PKB/Akt. Our data provide evidence for the existence of a negative regulator of the PI 3-kinase signalling pathway that is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis. Structural similarities between Ruk, CIN85 and CD2AP/CMS suggest that these proteins form a novel family of adaptor molecules that are involved in various intracellular signalling pathways.

Abstract
The binding of von Willebrand factor (vWF) to glycoprotein (GP) Ib-IX-V stimulates transmembrane signaling events that lead to platelet adhesion and aggregation. Recent studies have revealed that the signaling protein 14-3-3ζ binds directly to the cytoplasmic domain of GP Ib. In this study, the dynamic association of 14-3-3ζ with GP Ib-IX, the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase), or both, was investigated in resting, thrombin, or vWF and botrocetin-stimulated platelets by analysis of discrete subcellular fractions. Results of this study demonstrate maximal coimmunoprecipitation of 14-3-3ζ with GP Ib-IX in the nonstimulated cytosolic fraction and in the actin cytoskeletal fraction of thrombin- or vWF-stimulated human platelets. Immunoprecipitated 14-3-3ζ or GP Ib from cytosolic fractions contained PI 3-kinase enzyme activity and an 85-kd polypeptide recognized by antibodies to the p85 subunit of PI 3-kinase. After platelet activation, the level of association between these species decreased in the cytosolic fraction. However, increased complex formation between 14-3-3ζ and GP Ib-IX and between PI 3-kinase and GP Ib-IX was detected in actin cytoskeletal fractions derived from thrombin- or vWF-stimulated platelets. Recombinant glutathione S-transferase-14-3-3ζ fusion protein (14-3-3ζ–GST) inhibited affinity-captured PI 3-kinase enzyme activity up to 70% at 2 μmol/L 14-3-3ζ–GST. However, increasing concentrations up to 5 μmol/L 14-3-3ζ–GST resulted in the 3-fold enhancement of PI 3-kinase enzyme activity. We propose that the association between PI 3-kinase and 14-3-3ζ with GP Ib-IX serves to promote the rapid translocation of these signaling proteins to the activated cytoskeleton, thereby regulating the formation of 3-position phosphoinositide-signaling molecules in this subcellular compartment.

Abstract
We have investigated the role of the SH3 and BH domains in the function of the p85alpha adapter/regulatory subunit of PI 3-kinase. In these studies epitope-tagged adapter subunit constructs containing wild-type p85alpha, p85alpha lacking the SH3 domain (deltaSH3-p85alpha), or p85alpha lacking the Rac-GAP/BCR homology (BH) domain (deltaBH-p85alpha) were coexpressed with either the p110alpha or p110beta PI 3-kinase catalytic subunit in HEK293 cells. The deletion of either BH or SH3 domains had no effect on the intrinsic activity of the PI 3-kinase heterodimers. However, the ability of activated Rac to stimulate PI 3-kinase activity was only observed in heterodimers containing the p85alpha and deltaSH3-p85alpha, indicating that rac binding to the BH domain is responsible for rac-induced stimulation of class Ia PI 3-kinase. We also investigated the effect of SH3 and BH domain deletion on the ability of insulin to induce recruitment of these constructs into phosphotyrosine-containing signaling complexes. We find that p85alpha expressed alone is poorly recruited into such signaling complexes. However, when coexpressed with catalytic subunit, the p85alpha adapter subunit is recruited to an extent similar to that of endogenous p85alpha. Maximal insulin stimulation caused a similar level of recruitment of p85alpha, deltaSH3-p85alpha, and deltaBH-p85alpha to signaling complexes when these adapter subunits were coexpressed with catalytic subunit. However, there was a higher level of basal association of the deltaSH3-p85alpha and deltaBH-p85alpha with tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins, meaning that the insulin-induced fold increase in recruitment was lower for these forms of the adapter. These results indicate that the N-terminal domains of p85alpha play a critical role in the way the adapter subunit responds to growth factor stimulation.

Abstract
Inositol polyphosphate 4-phosphatase (4-phosphatase) is an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of the 4-position phosphate from phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate [PtdIns(3,4)P2]. In human platelets the formation of this phosphatidylinositol, by the actions of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase), correlates with irreversible platelet aggregation. We have shown previously that a phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate 5-phosphatase forms a complex with the p85 subunit of PI 3-kinase. In this study we investigated whether PI 3-kinase also forms a complex with the 4-phosphatase in human platelets. Immunoprecipitates of the p85 subunit of PI 3-kinase from human platelet cytosol contained 4-phosphatase enzyme activity and a 104-kDa polypeptide recognized by specific 4-phosphatase antibodies. Similarly, immunoprecipitates made using 4-phosphatase-specific antibodies contained PI 3-kinase enzyme activity and an 85-kDa polypeptide recognized by antibodies to the p85 adapter subunit of PI 3-kinase. After thrombin activation, the 4-phosphatase translocated to the actin cytoskeleton along with PI 3-kinase in an integrin- and aggregation-dependent manner. The majority of the PI 3-kinase/4-phosphatase complex (75%) remained in the cytosolic fraction. We propose that the complex formed between the two enzymes serves to localize the 4-phosphatase to sites of PtdIns(3,4)P2 production.

Abstract
Insulin plays a key role in regulating a wide range of cellular processes. However, until recently little was known about the signalling pathways that are involved in linking the insulin receptor with downstream responses. It is now apparent that the activation of class 1a phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) is necessary and in some cases sufficient to elicit many of insulin's effects on glucose and lipid metabolism. The lipid products of PI 3-kinase act as both membrane anchors and allosteric regulators, serving to localize and activate downstream enzymes and their protein substrates. One of the major ways these lipid products of PI 3-kinase act in insulin signalling is by binding to pleckstrin homology (PH) domains of phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase (PDK) and protein kinase B (PKB) and in the process regulating the phosphorylation of PKB by PDK. Using mechanisms such as this, PI 3-kinase is able to act as a molecular switch to regulate the activity of serine/threonine-specific kinase cascades important in mediating insulin's effects on endpoint responses.

Abstract
Okadaic acid (OA) is a potent inhibitor of PP1 and PP2A serine/threonine phosphatases and an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase (PI 3-kinase) recruitment/ activation. Here we report that PI 3-kinase associates with a serine kinase activated by OA. Whole cell phosphorylation studies showed that PI 3-kinase associates with a wortmannin insensitive 76 kDa serine phosphoprotein (pp76) distinct from the p85 subunit of PI 3-kinase. Serine kinase assays demonstrated that pp76 phosphorylation was dependent upon a wortmannin insensitive serine kinase contained within PI 3-kinase/pp76 complexes and that this kinase had different cation requirements than PI 3-kinase serine kinase. Treatment of whole cells with OA lead to a wortmannin-independent 7.6-fold increase in pp76 serine phosphorylation and to a 7-fold rise in pp76 kinase activity. Together, these findings indicate that pp76 is a PI 3-kinase associated phosphoprotein and suggest that pp76 may be a novel PI 3-kinase associated serine kinase that is activated by OA.

Abstract
T cell receptor signaling results both in T cell proliferation and apoptosis. A key enzyme at the intersection of these downstream pathways is phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase (PI 3-kinase). In a previous report, we showed that the p85alpha subunit of the PI 3-kinase preferentially associated with the CD3-zeta membrane-proximal immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif of the zeta chain (zetaA-ITAM) (Exley, M., Varticovski, L., Peter, M., Sancho, J., and Terhorst, C. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 15140-15146). Here, we demonstrate that tyrosine phosphorylation of CD3-epsilon can recruit the PI 3-kinase enzyme in a T cell activation-dependent manner. In vivo studies with Jurkat cells stably transfected with a CD8-CD3-epsilon chimera (termed CD8-epsilon) shows that ligation of endogenous CD3-epsilon or CD8-epsilon by specific antibodies induces tyrosine phosphorylation of CD3-epsilon or CD8-epsilon, respectively. Increased tyrosine phosphorylation correlates with increased binding of p85alpha PI 3-kinase and recruitment of PI 3-kinase enzymatic activity to CD3-epsilon or CD8-epsilon proteins. Mutagenesis studies in COS-7 cells, transiently transfected with CD8-epsilon, p85alpha, and Fyn cDNAs in various combinations, show that both Tyr170 and Tyr181 within the CD3-epsilon-ITAM are required for efficient binding of p85alpha PI 3-kinase. Thus, replacement of Tyr170 by Phe (Y170F), or Tyr181 by Phe (Y181F) significantly reduces binding of p85alpha PI 3-kinase, whereas it does not affect binding of Fyn. Further in vitro experiments suggest that a direct binding of the tandem SH2 domains of p85alpha PI 3-kinase to the two phosphorylated tyrosines in a single CD3-epsilon-ITAM may occur. The data also support a model in which a single CD3 subunit can recruit distinct effector molecules by means of TCR-mediated differential ITAM phosphorylation.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinases have critical roles in diverse cellular signalling processes and in protein trafficking. This suggests that like other intracellular signalling molecules, e.g., phospholipase C and protein kinase C, there might be a large family of PI 3-kinase isoforms with the individual members having discrete signalling roles. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction methods, using degenerate oligonucleotide primers against the lipid kinase consensus region, revealed eight sequences from human cDNA containing a high degree of identity to the family of PI 3-kinases. The sequences obtained included the previously described p110 alpha, p110 beta, and p110 gamma isoforms and HsVps34. Additionally, we have identified four novel sequences which are related to PI 3-kinases. Three of the novel sequences would appear to form a distinct sub-family of PI 3-kinases. We report the expression of these novel PI 3-kinases in human tissues and in cells derived from normal breast.

Abstract
The mammalian phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) p110alpha, beta, and delta form heterodimers with Src homology 2 (SH2) domain-containing adaptors such as p85alpha or p55(PIK). The two SH2 domains of these adaptors bind to phosphotyrosine residues (pY) found within the consensus sequence pYXXM. Here we show that a heterodimer of the Drosophila PI3K, Dp110, with an adaptor, p60, can be purified from S2 cells with a pYXXM phosphopeptide affinity matrix. Using amino acid sequence from the gel-purified protein, the gene encoding p60 was cloned and mapped to the genomic region 21B8-C1, and the exon/intron structure was determined. p60 contains two SH2 domains and an inter-SH2 domain but lacks the SH3 and breakpoint cluster region homology (BH) domains found in mammalian p85alpha and beta. Analysis of the sequence of p60 shows that the amino acids responsible for the SH2 domain binding specificity in mammalian p85alpha are conserved and predicts that the inter-SH2 domain has a coiled-coil structure. The Dp110.p60 complex was immunoprecipitated with p60-specific antisera and shown to possess both lipid and protein kinase activity. The complex was found in larvae, pupae, and adults, consistent with p60 functioning as the adaptor for Dp110 throughout the Drosophila life cycle.

Abstract
Various methods are now available to identify the molecular partners of the component of a signal transduction pathway. Some interactions, however, can be technically difficult to detect because they depend upon transient tyrosine phosphorylation. Here, we present a simple affinity chromatography approach based on synthetic phosphopeptides to purify potential partners of phosphotyrosine-containing proteins. With this approach, we confirm the previously characterized interaction between Grb2 and the EGF receptor, and we identify novel partners of the IGF-1 receptor and of the JAK proteins. Methenyltetrahydrofolate synthetase (MTHFS) was identified as a potential mediator of IGF-1R dependent transformation. P85alpha, the regulatory subunit of PI3 kinase, was identified as one of four proteins recruited by a phosphopeptide mimicking a motif conserved in all JAK family members.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinases have been shown to have critical roles in signal transduction, cell transformation and intracellular protein trafficking. Reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction methods, using degenerate primers derived from the lipid kinase consensus region, were utilised to identify PI 3-kinases in the normal human breast. Here we report the cDNA cloning of a novel human PI 3-kinase isoform, HsC2-PI3K. This PI 3-kinase is most closely related to the recently described C2 domain-containing family of PI 3-kinases which includes Drosophila PI3K_68D/cpk and murine cpk-m/p170. Sequence analysis suggests that HsC2-PI3K is a second distinct mammalian member of the C2 domain-containing PI 3-kinase family. Northern blot analysis of human tissues indicates that HsC2-PI3K is widely expressed. Fluorescence in situ hybridisation has mapped HsC2-PI3K to chromosome 1q32.

Abstract
The stimulation of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase by insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) in L6 cultured skeletal muscle cells is inhibited by the glucocorticoid dexamethasone. The objective of this study was to investigate the mechanism of dexamethasone action by determining its effects on the expression of the p85alpha and p85beta regulatory subunit isoforms of PI 3-kinase, their coupling with the p110 catalytic subunit, and their association with insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) in response to IGF-I stimulation. Dexamethasone induced a 300% increase in p85alpha protein content in the L6 cultured myoblast cell line, whereas it increased p110 content by only 38% and had no effect on p85beta. The increase in p85alpha protein was associated with a coordinate increase in p85alpha mRNA. Stimulation with IGF-I induced the association of p85alpha and p85beta with IRS-1, and this was accompanied by increased amounts of the p110 catalytic subunit and markedly increased PI 3-kinase activity in IRS-1 immunoprecipitates. In cells treated with dexamethasone, greater amounts of p85alpha and lower amounts of p85beta, respectively, were found in IRS-1 immunoprecipitates, such that the alpha/beta ratio was markedly higher than in control cells. In spite of the increase in both total and IRS-1-associated p85alpha following dexamethasone treatment, IRS-1-associated p110 catalytic subunit and PI 3-kinase activity were decreased by approximately 50%. Thus, dexamethasone induces a specific increase in expression of the p85alpha regulatory subunit that is not associated with a coordinate increase in the p110 catalytic subunit of PI 3-kinase. As a consequence, in dexamethasone-treated cells, p85alpha that is not coupled with p110 competes with both p85alpha.p110 and p85beta.p110 complexes for association with IRS-1, leading to increased p85alpha but decreased p85beta, p110, and PI 3-kinase activity in IRS-1 immunoprecipitates.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) have been identified in an evolutionarily diverse range of organisms, including mammals, Drosophila, yeast, plants and Dictyostelium. They are activated by a multitude of extracellular signals and implicated in mitogenesis, differentiation and cell survival, as well as in the control of the cytoskeleton and cell shape. Here we describe the molecular and functional analysis of Drosophila p110 (Dp110). A full-length Dp110 cDNA was isolated and found to encode a protein homologous throughout its length to the class I mammalian PI3Ks p110alpha and p110beta. Overexpression of Dp110 in wing or eye imaginal discs resulted in flies with enlarged wings or eyes respectively. In contrast, overexpression of Dp110 containing a mutation predicted to result in the loss of catalytic activity resulted in smaller wings and eyes. The alterations in wing size result from changes in both cell size and cell number, whereas in the eye only differences in cell size were detected. These data imply a role for Dp110 in growth control during Drosophila development and have implications for the function of class I PI3Ks in other organisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) activity is required for mitogenic signaling and for secretory responses. Cell activation is presumed to cause the translocation of PI 3-kinase from the cytosol to the plasma membrane where the kinase interacts with its substrate phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate. Thus, a membrane-targeted and therefore constitutively active kinase could help elucidate the role of PI 3-kinase in intracellular signaling. RESULTS The membrane-targeting sequence of Ha-Ras, containing the consensus sequence for palmitoylation and farnesylation, was fused to the carboxyl terminus of p110 alpha, the catalytic subunit of PI 3-kinase. The lipid anchor directed PI 3-kinase to the membrane and led to constitutively elevated phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-trisphosphate levels in transfected cells. Expression of membrane-targeted PI 3-kinase resulted in the continuous activation of downstream effectors, such as protein kinase B (PKB, also known as Akt/RAC), which was recently shown to regulate glycogen synthase kinase-3. The constitutive activation of PKB was abolished by the specific PI 3-kinase inhibitor wortmannin, and PKB activation was marginal in transfectants expressing non-membrane-targeted PI 3-kinase. Multiple phosphorylation of the cytosolic factor p47phox is required for the rapid assembly of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase upon stimulation with agonists of G-protein-coupled receptors. We show here that the expression of membrane-targeted PI 3-kinase in the monoblastic cell line GM-1 results in a wortmannin-sensitive continuous phosphorylation of p47phox. CONCLUSIONS Targeting of PI 3-kinase to the site of its preferred substrate leads to constitutive stimulus-independent enhanced catalysis and is sufficient to regulate different signal transduction pathways.

Abstract
Interleukin-2 induces a serine-phosphorylated phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase activity in the mouse T cell line TS1 alpha beta. Moreover, protein kinase C (PKC) zeta directly or indirectly associates with the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase and the association appears to be necessary for the serine-phosphorylated phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase activity, since release of zeta PKC by competition of binding with peptides spanning the p110 sequence from amino acids 907 to 925 abolishes the serine-phosphorylated phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase activity. This kinase activity is also blocked when zeta PKC expression is inhibited by antisense oligonucleotide. Inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase activity by wortmannin does not abolish zeta PKC association.

Abstract
We report the identification of a novel class of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 3-kinases whose members contain C-terminal C2 domains. We have isolated Drosophila and murine genes (termed cpk and cpk-m respectively) by polymerase chain reaction amplification of cDNA libraries with degenerate primers corresponding to conserved regions of PtdIns kinases. The amino acid sequences of Cpk and Cpk-m are most similar to that of p110, a family of PtdIns 3-kinases that mediates the responses of cells to mitogenic stimuli. The Cpk and Cpk-m sequences are similar to a large, central region of p110, but differ from p110 at their N and C termini. The N termini of the Cpk proteins do not contain any recognizable protein motif, while the C termini contain "C2 domains," a feature unique among PtdIns kinases. Cpk has an intrinsic PtdIns kinase activity and can phosphorylate PtdIns and PtdIns-4-P, but not PtdIns(4,5)P2, at the D3 position of the inositol ring. Cpk is the first PtdIns 3-kinase identified with this particular substrate specificity. We have identified two potential Cpk-binding proteins, p90 and p190, and have determined that both Cpk and p190 may be tyrosine phosphorylated. This finding suggests that Cpk function may be regulated by tyrosine kinases.

Abstract
Wortmannin at nanomolar concentrations is a potent and specific inhibitor of phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinase and has been used extensively to demonstrate the role of this enzyme in diverse signal transduction processes. At higher concentrations, wortmannin inhibits the ataxia telangiectasia gene (ATM)-related DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PKcs). We report here the identification of the site of interaction of wortmannin on the catalytic subunit of PI 3-kinase, p110alpha. At physiological pH (6.5 to 8) wortmannin reacted specifically with p110alpha. Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-diphosphate, ATP, and ATP analogs [adenine and 5'-(4-fluorosulfonylbenzoyl)adenine] competed effectively with wortmannin, while substances containing nucleophilic amino acid side chain functions had no effect at the same concentrations. This suggests that the wortmannin target site is localized in proximity to the substrate-binding site and that residues involved in wortmannin binding have an increased nucleophilicity because of their protein environment. Proteolytic fragments of wortmannin-treated, recombinant p110alpha were mapped with anti-wortmannin and anti-p110alpha peptide antibodies, thus limiting the target site within a 10-kDa fragment, colocalizing with the ATP-binding site. Site-directed mutagenesis of all candidate residues within this region showed that only the conservative Lys-802-to-Arg mutation abolished wortmannin binding. Inhibition of PI 3-kinase occurs, therefore, by the formation of an enamine following the attack of Lys-802 on the furan ring (at C-20) of wortmannin. The Lys-802-to-Arg mutant was also unable to bind FSBA and was catalytically inactive in lipid and protein kinase assays, indicating a crucial role for Lys-802 in the phosphotransfer reaction. In contrast, an Arg-916-to-Pro mutation abolished the catalytic activity whereas covalent wortmannin binding remained intact. Our results provide the basis for the design of novel and specific inhibitors of an enzyme family, including PI kinases and ATM-related genes, that play a central role in many physiological processes.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase is composed of 110 kDa catalytic and 85 kDa regulatory subunits. The 110 kDa subunit has two intrinsic kinase activities, i.e., Mn(2+)-dependent protein-serine kinase and Mg(2+)-dependent lipid kinase activities. These intrinsic kinases have been reported to be interdependent: protein-serine kinase phosphorylates the 85 kDa subunit of PI 3-kinase, which upon phosphorylation inhibits the lipid kinase activity of PI 3-kinase. We report here that phosphoinositides can selectively inhibit the protein-serine kinase activity of PI 3-kinase without affecting lipid kinase activity. This inhibition depends on the phosphorylation status of the phosphoinositides, i.e., PI 4,5-bisphosphate > PI 4-phosphate >> PI. Mn2+ (2 mM) protected protein kinase activity from phosphoinositides-mediated inhibition if added prior to interaction of PI 3-kinase with phosphoinositides. On the other hand, Mn2+ (2 mM) inhibited lipid kinase activity independent of its effect on the protein kinase activity of PI 3-kinase. The present study suggests that the protein-serine kinase and the lipid kinase activities of PI 3-kinase can be selectively inhibited by phosphoinositides and Mn2+ respectively.

Abstract
We have cloned a protein tyrosine kinase, MATK, which is expressed abundantly in megakaryocytes and the brain. We investigated whether MATK participates in the c-Kit ligand/stem cell factor (KL/SCF) signaling pathway in the megakaryocytic cell line CMK. After KL/SCF stimulation, five major proteins of molecular masses of 145, 113, 92, 76, and 63 kDa were rapidly and transiently tyrosine-phosphorylated in a time-dependent manner, peaking within 5 min, and returning to basal levels within 60 min. To study the role of MATK in the KL/SCF signaling pathway, glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion proteins containing SH2 and SH3 domains of MATK were cloned, expressed in Escherichia coli, and purified. MATK-SH2, but not MATK-SH3, precipitated the tyrosine-phosphorylated c-Kit (molecular mass of 145 kDa) in KL/SCF-stimulated CMK cells. Other GST fusion proteins containing the SH2 domain of p85 of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, phospholipase C gamma-1, and ras-GAP also precipitated c-Kit. The tyrosine-phosphorylated c-Kit was co-immunoprecipitated with anti-MATK and anti-p85 antibodies in KL/SCF-stimulated CMK cells, but not in granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor or interleukin-6-stimulated cells, suggesting receptor specificity. These results indicate that MATK associates with the c-Kit receptor following specific stimulation by KL/SCF via its SH2 domain and likely participates in transduction of growth signals induced by this cytokine in megakaryocytes.

Abstract
Protein(s) which bind polyphosphatidylinositol phosphates (PI 3,4,5-P3 and PI 4,5-P2) were identified in the wheat-germ agglutinin bound fraction of cells and tissues. The binding of this protein(s) to the phospholipid could be demonstrated in two ways, either by a shift in the migration of the lipid by size exclusion column chromatography or directly by binding to the protein after capture on wheat-germ agglutinin-coupled beads. Of the rat tissues tested (muscle, spleen, brain, heart, kidney and liver), the activity was highest in liver. The protein(s) was purified more than 5000-fold by sequential chromatography on columns of wheat-germ agglutinin, phosphocellulose, Blue-Sepharose, Mono Q and Superose 6. The peak of activity appeared to have a molecular weight on this latter column of approx. 240,000. The protein(s) bound PI 3,4,5-P3, PI 3,4-P2, and PI 3-P in the ratio of 4:2:1. The binding of 3-phosphorylated PI phosphates to the protein(s) was not significantly inhibited by 36 micrograms/ml of either phosphatidylinositol or phosphatidylcholine, but was inhibited 10% and 65% by 36 micrograms/ml of PI 4-P and PI 4,5-P2, respectively. Since these results suggested that the binding protein(s) could also bind PI 4,5-P2, binding of this lipid was directly tested and found to be comparable to that of PI 3,4,5-P3. These results suggest that this protein(s) could be involved in the signaling mechanism elicited by these polyphosphoinositides.

Abstract
To analyse the regulation of Src family tyrosine kinases in vitro, we have purified Fyn and Csk, a kinase capable of regulating Fyn activity by phosphorylation, from baculovirus-infected insect cells. The proteins were purified by affinity purification over a phosphotyrosine column. Highly purified proteins were eluted from the resin by a salt gradient and further purified by ion-exchange chromatography. This purification scheme was successfully applied to a third, unrelated protein that also contains the Src homology 2 (SH2) domain, namely the 85 kDa subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, indicating that this method is versatile and should prove applicable to any protein with an accessible SH2 domain. The binding of Csk to different phosphopeptides was tested, and specificity for the autophosphorylation site of Fyn was demonstrated. Pure Csk was used to phosphorylate Fyn and down-regulate its kinase activity, and the kinetic parameters of both the active and the repressed forms of Fyn were determined. Repression of Fyn activity by Csk reduced binding of Fyn to phosphopeptides to undetectable levels, supporting the model that predicts an intramolecular interaction of the Fyn SH2 domain with a C-terminal phosphotyrosine residue.

Abstract
Incubation of rat adipocytes with wortmannin, a potent and selective phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) inhibitor, completely blocked the antilipolytic action of insulin (IC50 = 100 nM), the insulin-induced activation and phosphorylation of cGMP-inhibited cAMP phosphodiesterase (cGI-PDE) as well as the activation of the insulin-stimulated cGI-PDE kinase (IC50 = 10-30 nM). No direct effects of the inhibitor on the insulin-stimulated cGI-PDE kinase, the cGI-PDE and the hormone-sensitive lipase were observed. These data suggest that activation of PI 3-kinase upstream of the insulin-stimulated cGI-PDE kinase in the antilipolytic insulin signalchain has an essential role for insulin-induced cGI-PDE activation/phosphorylation and anti-lipolysis.

Abstract
Wortmannin (WT) and its derivative 17-hydroxywortmannin (HWT) inhibit at nanomolar concentrations superoxide formation and exocytosis in neutrophils stimulated with chemotactic agonists. Treatment of neutrophils with radiolabeled [3H]HWT resulted in specific and saturable binding that paralleled the inhibition of the respiratory burst. Both half-maximal binding and half-maximal inhibition were observed at 5 nM, and > 90% of maximal binding and inhibition was observed at 20 nM HWT. Fluorography of subcellular fractions that were separated on NaDodSO4/PAGE showed that [3H]HWT binds covalently to a 110-kDa cytosolic protein. The WT-binding protein was purified from human neutrophils and bovine brain homogenates by column chromatography. The pure protein was eluted from gel filtration columns with an apparent molecular mass of 200 kDa and showed a heterodimeric structure on Coomassie-stained NaDodSO4/PAGE. In addition to the 110 kDa wortmannin binding protein an equally intense band was seen migrating at 85 kDa. This band was identified on Western blots as p85 alpha, the regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase (ATP:1-phosphatidyl-1D-myo-inositol 3-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.137). The purified protein contained PI 3-kinase activity that was enriched > 20,000-fold from human neutrophil cytosol during preparation. The data impose a key role for PI 3-kinase-mediated signal transduction through guanine nucleotide-binding protein-coupled receptors and suggest that 3-phosphorylated inositol phospholipids are important second messengers for immediate responses in neutrophils. Furthermore, the results show that WT is a powerful and selective tool to study the function of PI 3-kinase.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide 3 kinase (PI3K) is a key signaling enzyme implicated in receptor-stimulated mitogenesis, oxidative bursting in neutrophils, membrane ruffling, and glucose uptake. A PI3K has already been purified, cloned, and shown to be regulated by receptors that act via tyrosine kinase-dependent regulatory mechanisms. We report that an immunologically, pharmacologically, and chromatographically distinct form of PI3K activity present in neutrophils and U937 cells is specifically activated by G protein beta gamma subunits. This data suggests PI3Ks conform to the paradigm set by receptor regulation of phosphoinositidase Cs: different receptor transduction systems specifically regulate dedicated isoforms of effector protein.

Abstract
The mammalian Ptdlns 3-kinase is shown to be inhibited by low nanomolar concentrations of demethoxyviridin, an antifungal agent structurally related to wortmannin. The inhibitory potency of both compounds could be observed in purified Ptdlns 3-kinase whether or not the regulatory subunit (p85 alpha) was present, suggesting that the inhibitors bind to the catalytic subunit (p110) of the Ptdlns 3-kinase. These inhibitors also show similar potency against the intrinsic p85-phosphorylating activity of the p110-kinase. However, the structurally related Ptdlns 3-kinase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Vps34p) is not inhibited by either compound. Both inhibitors target the mammalian Ptdlns 3-kinase in vitro and in vivo, implying that these compounds should be useful in suppressing Ptdlns 3-kinase in mammalian systems. The inhibitors did not affect the mammalian Ptdlns 4-kinase, but they are able to inhibit a membrane-associated Ptdlns 4-kinase from Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
