Abstract
BACKGROUND In the 1950s, Hokin conducted initial studies on phosphoinositide turnover/cycle in salivary glandular cells. From these studies, the idea emerged that receptor-mediated changes in intramembranous levels of phosphoinositides represent an early step in the stimulus-response pathway. Based on this idea and the general view that knowledge of the exact localization of a given endogenous molecule in cells in situ is important for understanding its functional significance, we have reviewed available information about the localization of several representative phosphoinositide-signaling molecules in the salivary glands in situ in mice. HIGHLIGHT We focused on phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase, phosphatidylinositol 4 phosphate 5-kinase α, β, γ, phospholipase Cβ, muscarinic cholinoceptors 1 and 3, diacylglycerol kinase ζ, phospholipase D1 and 2, ADP-ribosylation factor 6 and its exchange factors for Arf6, and cannabinoid receptors. These molecules individually exhibit differential localization in a spatiotemporal manner in the exocrine glands, making it possible to deduce their functional significance, such as their involvement in secretion and cell differentiation. CONCLUSION Although phosphoinositide-signaling molecules whose in situ localization in glandular cells has been clarified are still limited, the obtained information on their localization suggests that their functional significance is more valuable in glandular ducts than in acini. It thus suggests the necessity of greater attention to the ducts in their physio-pharmacological analyses. The purpose of this review is to encourage more in situ localization studies of phosphoinositide-signaling molecules with an aim to further understand their possible involvement in the pathogenesis of salivary gland diseases.

Abstract
Recently, we heterologously expressed, purified, and analyzed the function of the sole Plasmodium falciparum phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), found that the enzyme is a "class III" or "Vps34" PI3K, and found that it is irreversibly inhibited by Fe2+-mediated covalent, nonspecific interactions with the leading antimalarial drug, dihydroartemisinin [Hassett, M. R., et al. (2017) Biochemistry 56, 4335-4345]. One of several P. falciparum phosphatidylinositol 4-kinases [putative IIIβ isoform (PfPI4KIIIβ)] has generated similar interest as a druggable target; however, no validation of the mechanism of action for putative PfPI4K inhibitors has yet been possible due to the lack of purified PfPI4KIIIβ. We therefore codon optimized the pfpi4kIIIβ gene, successfully expressed the protein in yeast, and purified an N-lobe catalytic domain PfPI4KIIIβ protein. Using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay strategy previously perfected for analysis of PfPI3K (PfVps34), we measured the apparent initial rate, Km,app(ATP), and other enzyme characteristics and found full activity for the construct and that PfPI4KIIIβ activity is most consistent with the class IIIβ designation. Because several novel antimalarial drug candidates with different chemical scaffolds have been proposed to target PfPI4KIIIβ, we titrated enzyme inhibition for these candidates versus purified PfPI4KIIIβ and PfVps34. We also analyzed the activity versus purified PfPI4KIIIβ mutants previously expressed in P. falciparum selected for resistance to these drugs. Interestingly, we found that a putative PfPI4KIIIβ inhibitor currently in advanced trials (MMV390048; MMV '0048) is a potent inhibitor of both PfVps34 and PfPI4KIIIβ. These data are helpful for further preclinical optimization of an exciting new class of P. falciparum PI kinase inhibitor ("PfPIKi") antimalarial drugs.

Abstract
Many important cellular functions are regulated by the selective recruitment of proteins to intracellular membranes mediated by specific interactions with lipid phosphoinositides. The enzymes that generate lipid phosphoinositides therefore must be properly positioned and regulated at their correct cellular locations. Phosphatidylinositol 4 kinases (PI4Ks) are key lipid signalling enzymes, and they generate the lipid species phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P), which plays important roles in regulating physiological processes including membrane trafficking, cytokinesis and organelle identity. PI4P also acts as the substrate for the generation of the signalling phosphoinositides phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3). PI4Ks also play critical roles in a number of pathological processes including mediating replication of a number of pathogenic RNA viruses, and in the development of the parasite responsible for malaria. Key to the regulation of PI4Ks is their regulation by a variety of both host and viral protein-binding partners. We review herein our current understanding of the structure, regulatory interactions and role in disease of the type III PI4Ks.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol lipids are signaling molecules involved in nearly all aspects of cellular regulation. Production of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) has long been recognized as one of the first steps in generating poly-phosphatidylinositol phosphates involved in actin organization, cell migration, and signal transduction. In addition, progress over the last decade has brought to light independent roles for PI4P in membrane trafficking and lipid homeostasis. Here, we describe recent advances that reveal the breadth of processes regulated by PI4P, the spectrum of PI4P effectors, and the mechanisms of spatiotemporal control that coordinate crosstalk between PI4P and cellular signaling pathways.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides (PIs) make up only a small fraction of cellular phospholipids, yet they control almost all aspects of a cell's life and death. These lipids gained tremendous research interest as plasma membrane signaling molecules when discovered in the 1970s and 1980s. Research in the last 15 years has added a wide range of biological processes regulated by PIs, turning these lipids into one of the most universal signaling entities in eukaryotic cells. PIs control organelle biology by regulating vesicular trafficking, but they also modulate lipid distribution and metabolism via their close relationship with lipid transfer proteins. PIs regulate ion channels, pumps, and transporters and control both endocytic and exocytic processes. The nuclear phosphoinositides have grown from being an epiphenomenon to a research area of its own. As expected from such pleiotropic regulators, derangements of phosphoinositide metabolism are responsible for a number of human diseases ranging from rare genetic disorders to the most common ones such as cancer, obesity, and diabetes. Moreover, it is increasingly evident that a number of infectious agents hijack the PI regulatory systems of host cells for their intracellular movements, replication, and assembly. As a result, PI converting enzymes began to be noticed by pharmaceutical companies as potential therapeutic targets. This review is an attempt to give an overview of this enormous research field focusing on major developments in diverse areas of basic science linked to cellular physiology and disease.

Abstract
The four mammalian phosphatidylinositol 4-kinases modulate inter-organelle lipid trafficking, phosphoinositide signalling and intracellular vesicle trafficking. In addition to catalytic domains required for the synthesis of PI4P, the phosphatidylinositol 4-kinases also contain isoform-specific structural motifs that mediate interactions with proteins such as AP-3 and the E3 ubiquitin ligase Itch, and such structural differences determine isoform-specific roles in membrane trafficking. Moreover, different permutations of phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase isozymes may be required for a single cellular function such as occurs during distinct stages of GPCR signalling and in Golgi to lysosome trafficking. Phosphatidylinositol 4-kinases have recently been implicated in human disease. Emerging paradigms include increased phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase expression in some cancers, impaired functioning associated with neurological pathologies, the subversion of PI4P trafficking functions in bacterial infection and the activation of lipid kinase activity in viral disease. We discuss how the diverse and sometimes overlapping functions of the phosphatidylinositol 4-kinases present challenges for the design of isoform-specific inhibitors in a therapeutic context.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase type IIIa (PI4KIIIα) is one of four mammalian PI 4-kinases that catalyzes the first committed step in polyphosphoinositide synthesis. PI4KIIIα has been linked to regulation of ER exit sites and to the synthesis of plasma membrane phosphoinositides and recent studies have also revealed its importance in replication of the Hepatitis C virus in liver. Two isoforms of the mammalian PI4KIIIα have been described and annotated in GenBank: a larger, ~230kDa (isoform 2) and a shorter splice variant containing only the ~97kDa C-terminus that includes the catalytic domain (isoform 1). However, Northern analysis of human tissues and cancer cells showed only a single transcript of ~7.5kb with the exception of the proerythroleukemia line K562, which contained significantly higher level of the 7.5kb transcript along with smaller ones of 2.4, 3.5 and 4.2kb size. Bioinformatic analysis also confirmed the high copy number of PI4KIIIα transcript in K562 cells along with several genes located in the same region in Chr22, including two pseudogenes that cover most exons coding for isoform 1, consistent with chromosome amplification. A panel of polyclonal antibodies raised against peptides within the C-terminal half of PI4KIIIα failed to detect the shorter isoform 1 either in COS-7 cells or K562 cells. Moreover, expression of a cDNA encoding isoform 1 yielded a protein of ~97kDa that showed no catalytic activity and failed to rescue hepatitis C virus replication. These data draw attention to PI4KIIIα as one of the genes found in Chr22q11, a region affected by chromosomal instability, but do not substantiate the existence of a functionally relevant short form of PI4KIIIα.

Abstract
A wide spectrum of intracellular signaling events mediated by up to seven different phosphorylated forms of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) occurs in all eukaryotic cells. The activities of multiple, nondegenerate PI kinases and phosphatases control these signaling events. The PI 4-kinase isozymes account for the major PI kinase activity in many different cell types, and the activity of each isozyme is differentially regulated. The ability to measure and distinguish the activity of individual enzymes is therefore important and forms the subject of the methods in this chapter. We describe the use and application of a versatile radiometric assay to measuring PI 4-kinase activity in a variety of biochemical contexts, from purified enzymes to membrane preparations and permeabilized cells. Until a suitable nonradioactive reagent becomes available, this assay is destined to remain the most widely used method.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide kinases such as PI3-kinase synthesize lipid second messengers that control diverse cellular processes. Recently, these enzymes have emerged as an important class of drug targets, and there is significant interest in discovering new lipid kinase inhibitors. We describe here a procedure for the high-throughput determination of lipid kinase inhibitor IC50 values. This assay exploits the fact that phosphoinositides, but not nucleotides such as ATP, bind irreversibly to nitrocellulose membranes. As a result, the radiolabeled lipids from a kinase assay can be isolated by spotting the crude reaction on a nitrocellulose membrane and then washing. We show that diverse phosphoinositide kinases can be assayed using this approach and outline how to perform the assay in 96-well plates. We also describe a MATLAB script that automates the data analysis. The complete procedure requires 3-4 h.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides account for only a tiny fraction of cellular phospholipids but are extremely important in the regulation of the recruitment and activity of many signaling proteins in cellular membranes. Phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 4-kinases generate PtdIns 4-phosphate, the precursor of important regulatory phosphoinositides but also an emerging regulatory molecule in its own right. The four mammalian PtdIns 4-kinases regulate a diverse array of signaling events, as well as vesicular trafficking and lipid transport, but the mechanisms by which their lipid product PtdIns 4-phosphate controls these processes is only beginning to unfold.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous immunohistochemical investigations could not detect PI4K230, an isoform of mammalian phosphatidylinositol 4-kinases (also called type III alpha), in the nucleus and nucleolus of cells in spite of its predicted nuclear localization signals. METHODS Immunofluorescent detection of PI4K230 and other PI4K isoforms was performed on formaldehyde (PFA) or ethanol fixed cells and rat brain cryosections. Costaining with nucleolin and the effect of siRNA, Triton X-100, DNase, and RNase treatments were also tested to determine the localization of PI4K230. RESULTS PI4K230 gives a prominent signal in the nucleolus of ethanol fixed rat brain cryosections and of several cell types in addition to its presence in the nucleus and cytoplasm. The PI4K230 immunoreactivity of the nucleolus is masked in PFA fixed cells, but it can be restored by treatment of PFA fixed cells with hot wet citrate buffer or by washing the cryosections with PBS prior to PFA fixation. Nucleolar PI4K230 occurs in a Triton X-100 resistant complex. Treatment of COS-7 cells with siRNA targeting PI4K230 and permeabilized B50 cells with DNase or RNase results in the loss of PI4K230 signal from the nucleolus. CONCLUSION These experiments suggest the participation of PI4K230 in a DNase and RNase sensitive complex with a unique localization and function in the nucleolus.

Abstract
Proteins that make, consume, and bind to phosphoinositides are important for constitutive membrane traffic. Different phosphoinositides are concentrated in different parts of the central vacuolar pathway, with phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate predominate on Golgi, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate predominate at the plasma membrane, phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate the major phosphoinositide on early endosomes, and phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate found on late endocytic organelles. This spatial segregation may be the mechanism by which the direction of membrane traffic is controlled. Phosphoinositides increase the affinity of membranes for peripheral membrane proteins that function for sorting protein cargo or for the docking and fusion of transport vesicles. This implies that constitutive membrane traffic may be regulated by the mechanisms that control the activity of the enzymes that produce and consume phosphoinositides. Although the lipid kinases and phosphatases that function in constitutive membrane traffic are beginning to be identified, their regulation is poorly understood.

Abstract
Neuronal calcium sensor 1 (NCS-1) belongs to a family of EF-hand calcium-binding proteins and is mainly expressed in neurons and neuroendocrine cells, where it causes facilitation of neurotransmitter release through unknown mechanisms. The yeast homologue of NCS-1 has been demonstrated to interact with and regulate the activity of yeast phosphatidylinositol 4-OH kinase beta (PI4Kbeta). However, in neurons and neurosecretory cells NCS-1 has not unequivocally been shown to interact with PI4Kbeta. Here we have compared the subcellular distribution of NCS-1 and PI4Kbeta and investigated whether they are capable of forming complexes. In neurons, both proteins are widely distributed and are present in perikarya and, to a lesser extent, in nerve terminals. A consistent portion of NCS-1 and PIK4beta is cytosolic, whereas a portion of both proteins appears to be associated with the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi complex. Very small amounts of NCS-1 and PI4Kbeta are present in synaptic vesicles. Our results further demonstrate that in neurosecretory cells, endogenous NCS-1 and PIK4beta interact to form a complex that can be immunoisolated from membrane as well as from cytosolic fractions. Moreover, both proteins can be recruited to membranes when cells are treated with nucleotide receptor agonists known to increase polyphosphoinositide turnover and concomitantly induce exocytosis of secretory vesicles. Finally, in PC12 cells overexpressing NCS-1, the amount of PI4Kbeta associated with the membranes is increased concomitantly with the increased levels of NCS-1 detected in the same membrane fractions. Together, these findings demonstrate that mammalian NCS-1 and PI4Kbeta interact under physiological conditions, which suggest a possible role for NCS-1 in the translocation of PI4Kbeta to target membranes.

Abstract
Phosphorylation of inositol phospholipids plays a key role in cellular regulation via the generation of intracellular second messengers. In addition, it represents a mechanism to regulate interactions of the lipid bilayer with proteins and protein scaffolds involved in vesicle budding, cytoskeletal organization, and signaling. Generation of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate [PI(4)P] from phosphatidylinositol (PI) is an important step in this metabolic pathway because PI(4)P is a precursor of other important phosphoinositides and has protein binding properties of its own. We report here that a PI 4-kinase (PI4K) activity previously reported on synaptic vesicles is accounted for by the alpha isoform of the recently characterized type II PI4K (PI4KII) family. PI4KIIalpha, which also accounts for the bulk of PI4K activity in brain extracts, is concentrated at synapses and in the region of the Golgi complex in neuronal perikarya. Our results provide new evidence for the occurrence of a cycle of phosphoinositide synthesis and hydrolysis nested within the exo-endocytic cycle of synaptic vesicles and point to PI4KIIalpha as a critical player in this cycle.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 4-kinases catalyze the conversion of PtdIns to PtdIns 4-phosphate, the major precursor of phosphoinositides that regulates a vast array of cellular processes. Based on enzymatic differences, two classes of PtdIns 4-kinase have been distinguished termed Types II and III. Type III kinases, which belong to the phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3/4-kinase family, have been extensively characterized. In contrast, little is known about the Type II enzymes (PI4KIIs), which have been cloned and sequenced very recently. PI4KIIs bear essentially no sequence similarity to other protein or lipid kinases; hence, they represent a novel and distinct branch of the kinase superfamily. Here we define the minimal catalytic domain of a rat PI4KII isoform, PI4KIIalpha, and identify conserved amino acid residues required for catalysis. We further show that the catalytic domain by itself determines targeting of the kinase to membrane rafts. To verify that the PI4KII family extends beyond mammalian sources, we expressed and characterized Drosophila PI4KII and its catalytic domain. Depletion of PI4KII from Drosophila cells resulted in a severe reduction of PtdIns 4-kinase activity, suggesting the in vivo importance of this enzyme.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides (PIs) constitute a minor fraction of total cellular lipids in all eukaryotic cells. They fulfill many important functions through interaction with a wide range of cellular proteins. Members of distinct inositol lipid kinase families catalyze the synthesis of these phospholipids from phosphatidylinositol. The hydrolysis of PIs involves phosphatases and isoforms of PI-specific phospholipase C. Although our knowledge of the roles played by plant PIs is clearly limited at present, there is no doubt that they are involved in many physiological processes during plant growth and development. In this review, we concentrate on inositol lipid-metabolizing enzymes from the model plant Arabidopsis for which biochemical characterization data are available, namely the inositol lipid kinases and PI-specific phospholipase Cs. The biochemical properties and structure of characterized and genome-predicted isoforms are presented and compared with those of the animal enzymes to show that the plant enzymes have some features clearly unique to this kingdom.

Abstract
The gene expression for seven phosphatidylinositol phosphate kinases (PIPKs)-types Ialpha, Ibeta, Igamma, types IIalpha, IIbeta, IIgamma, and type III-was examined using in situ hybridization histochemistry, in the mouse brain during normal development. In the embryonic mouse brain, positive expression signals were detected only for the genes encoding PIPK Igamma and PIPK IIbeta in both the cerebral ventricular and mantle zones, with weaker signals in the former zone. On the other hand, the genes encoding all PIPKs were essentially detected in the external granule cell layer which represents the germinal zone for the neuronal granule cells. In the postnatal brain, among the seven PIPKs, the expression for genes encoding PIPK Igamma and IIbeta is evident in most gray matter, while the expression for the other five types was weak in the cortical gray matter and negligible in most non-cortical gray matter such as the diencephalon and brain stem nuclei. While the expression for most PIPKs in the mature hippocampus was distinct, the expression in the CA3 and the dentate gyrus was less definite for the genes encoding PIPK Ialpha and IIgamma, respectively. The distinct expression for the gene encoding PIPK IIalpha was detected in the postnatal white matter such as the cerebellar medulla, the corpus callosum, the hippocampal fimbriae, and the internal capsule.

Abstract
To understand the molecular basis of granule release from platelets, we examined the role of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P(2)) in alpha-granule secretion. Streptolysin O-permeabilized platelets synthesized PtdIns(4,5)P(2) when incubated in the presence of ATP. Incubation of streptolysin O-permeabilized platelets with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C reduced PtdIns(4,5)P(2) levels and resulted in a dose- and time-dependent inhibition of Ca(2+)-induced alpha-granule secretion. Exogenously added PtdIns(4,5)P(2) inhibited alpha-granule secretion, with 80% inhibition at 50 microm PtdIns(4,5)P(2). Nanomolar concentrations of wortmannin, 33.3 microm LY294002, and antibodies directed against PtdIns 3-kinase did not inhibit Ca(2+)-induced alpha-granule secretion, suggesting that PtdIns 3-kinase is not involved in alpha-granule secretion. However, micromolar concentrations of wortmannin inhibited both PtdIns(4,5)P(2) synthesis and alpha-granule secretion by approximately 50%. Antibodies directed against type II phosphatidylinositol-phosphate kinase (phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate 4-kinase) also inhibited both PtdIns(4,5)P(2) synthesis and Ca(2+)-induced alpha-granule secretion by approximately 50%. These antibodies inhibited alpha-granule secretion only when added prior to ATP exposure and not when added following ATP exposure, prior to Ca(2+)-mediated triggering. The inhibitory effects of micromolar wortmannin and anti-type II phosphatidylinositol-phosphate kinase antibodies were additive. These results show that PtdIns(4,5)P(2) mediates platelet alpha-granule secretion and that PtdIns(4,5)P(2) synthesis required for Ca(2+)-induced alpha-granule secretion involves the type II phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate 4-kinase-dependent pathway.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide lipids regulate numerous cellular processes in all eukaryotes. The versatility of this phospholipid is provided by combinations of phosphorylation on the 3', 4', and 5' positions of the inositol head group. Two distinct structural families of phosphoinositide (PI) kinases have so far been identified and named after their prototypic members, the PI 3-kinase and phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) phosphate kinase families, both of which have been found to contain structural homologues possessing PI 4-kinase activity. Nevertheless, the prevalent PtdIns 4-kinase activity in many mammalian cell types is conferred by the widespread type II PtdIns 4-kinase, which has so far resisted molecular characterization. We have partially purified the human type II isoform from plasma membrane rafts of human A431 epidermoid carcinoma cells and obtained peptide mass and sequence data. The results allowed the cDNA containing the full open reading frame to be cloned. The predicted amino acid sequence revealed that the type II enzyme is the prototypic member of a novel, third family of PI kinases. We have named the purified protein type IIalpha and a second human isoform, type IIbeta. The type IIalpha mRNA appears to be expressed ubiquitously in human tissues, and homologues appear to be expressed in all eukaryotes.

Abstract
Human phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase, isoform PI4K92, was expressed as His6 tagged protein in Sf9 cells reaching a level of approximately 5% of cellular protein. The enzyme can be purified nearly to homogeneity in a single step by absorption/desorption on Ni/nitriloacetic acid agarose magnetic beads. High Km values in the millimolar range for ATP and PtdIns as well as only a moderate inhibition by adenosine and a sensitivity to Wortmannin (IC50 approximately 300 nM) characterize the enzyme as a type 3 PI4K. The enzyme produces PtdIns4P as product. The isolated enzyme is a phosphoprotein, additionally phosphate is incorporated by incubation with ATP/Mg or ATP/Mn. Phosphorylation sites were mapped by MALDI-MS and LC-MS/MS at the following positions: S258, T263, S266, S277, S294, T423, S496, T504. Accordingly, a stretch of 81 amino acids between the common and the C-terminal catalytic domain was designated phosphorylation domain.

Abstract
The ATP-binding site of purified bovine brain phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase 230 (PI4K230) was studied by its reaction with 5'-p-fluorosulfonylbenzoyladenosine (FSBA), an ATP-like alkylating reagent. Four hundred to eight hundred micromolar FSBA inactivated PI4K230 specifically with apparently first-order kinetics and resulted in 50% loss of enzyme activity in 36--130 min. The specificity of the reaction with FSBA was demonstrated by the lack of inactivation with 5'-p-fluorosulfonylbenzoyl chloride and by protection with ATP and ATP analogues against inactivation. Most ATP analogues competed with FSBA inactivation in order of their increasing hydrophobicity, parallel to their inhibitory potency in activity measurements. The specific binding of FSBA to PI4K230 was demonstrated also by Western-blot experiments. These results suggest that FSBA-reactive group(s) involved in the enzyme activity are located near to the ATP-binding site in a hydrophobic region of native PI4K230. Experiments with site-directed mutagenesis indicate that the conserved Lys-1792 plays essential role in the enzyme activity and serves as one target of affinity labelling by FSBA. Prevention of both Lys-1792-directed and Lys-1792-independent binding of FSBA by Cibacron Blue 3GA suggest that these sites are located spatially close to each other.

Abstract
The endgame of cytokinesis can follow one of two pathways depending on developmental context: resolution into separate cells or formation of a stable intercellular bridge. Here we show that the four wheel drive (fwd) gene of Drosophila melanogaster is required for intercellular bridge formation during cytokinesis in male meiosis. In fwd mutant males, contractile rings form and constrict in dividing spermatocytes, but cleavage furrows are unstable and daughter cells fuse together, producing multinucleate spermatids. fwd is shown to encode a phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase (PI 4-kinase), a member of a family of proteins that perform the first step in the synthesis of the key regulatory membrane phospholipid PIP2. Wild-type activity of the fwd PI 4-kinase is required for tyrosine phosphorylation in the cleavage furrow and for normal organization of actin filaments in the constricting contractile ring. Our results suggest a critical role for PI 4-kinases and phosphatidylinositol derivatives during the final stages of cytokinesis.

Abstract
A senescence-like growth arrest is induced in mouse primary embryo fibroblasts by inhibitors of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K). We observed that senescence-like growth arrest is correlated with an increase in p27(Kip1) but that down-regulation of other cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors, including p15(INK4b), p16(INK4a), p19( INK4d), and p21(Cip1) as well as other negative cell cycle regulators such as p53 and p19(ARF), implies that this senescence-related growth arrest is independent of the activity of p53, p19(ARF), p16(INK4a), and p21(Cip1), which are associated with replicative senescence. The p27(Kip1) binds to the cyclin/CDK2 complexes and causes a decrease in CDK2 kinase activity. We demonstrated that ectopic expression of p27(Kip1) can induce permanent cell cycle arrest and a senescence-like phenotype in wild-type mouse embryo fibroblasts. We also obtained results suggesting that the kinase inhibitors LY294002 and Wortmannin arrest cell growth and induce a senescence-like phenotype, at least partially, through inhibition of PI3K and protein kinase B/Akt, activation of the forkhead protein AFX, and up-regulation of p27(Kip1)expression. In summary, these observations taken together suggest that p27(Kip1) is an important mediator of the permanent cell cycle arrest induced by PI3K inhibitors. Our data suggest that repression of CDK2 activity by p27(Kip1) is required for the PI3K-induced senescence, yet mouse embryo fibroblasts derived from p27(Kip1-/-) mice entered cell cycle arrest after treatment with LY294002. We show that this is due to a compensatory mechanism by which p130 functionally substitutes for the loss of p27(Kip1). This is the first description that p130 may have a role in inhibiting CDK activity during senescence.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 4,5-bisphosphate is involved in many aspects of membrane traffic, but the regulation of its synthesis is only partially understood. Golgi membranes contain PI 4-kinase activity and a pool of phosphatidylinositol phosphate (PIP), which is further increased by ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (ARF1). COS7 cells were transfected with alpha and beta forms of PI 4-kinase, and only membranes from COS7 cells transfected with PI 4-kinase beta increased their content of PIP when incubated with ARF1. PtdIns(4, 5)P(2) content in Golgi membranes was nonexistent but could be increased to a small extent upon adding either cytosol or Type I or Type II PIP kinases. However, when ARF1 was present, PtdIns(4,5)P(2) levels increased dramatically when membranes were incubated in the presence of cytosol or Type I, but not Type II, PIP kinase. To examine whether ARF1 could directly activate Type I PIP 5-kinase, we used an in vitro assay consisting of phosphatidycholine-containing liposomes, ARF1, and PIP 5-kinase. ARF1 increased Type I PIP 5-kinase activity in a guanine nucleotide-dependent manner, identifying this enzyme as a direct effector for ARF1.

Abstract
Inositol lipid kinases generate polyphosphoinositides, important regulators of several cellular functions. We have recently cloned two distinct phosphatidylinositol (PI) 4-kinase enzymes, the 210-kDa PI4KIIIalpha and the 110-kDa PI4KIIIbeta, from bovine tissues. In the present study, the distribution of mRNAs encoding these two enzymes was analyzed by in situ hybridization histochemistry in the rat. PI4KIIIalpha was found predominantly expressed in the brain, with low expression in peripheral tissues. PI4KIIIbeta was more uniformly expressed being also present in various peripheral tissues. Within the brain, PI4KIIIbeta showed highest expression in the gray matter, especially in neurons of the olfactory bulb and the hippocampus, but also gave a signal in the white matter indicating its presence in glia. PI4KIIIalpha was highly expressed in neurons, but lacked a signal in the white matter and the choroid plexus. Both enzymes showed expression in the pigment layer and nuclear layers as well as in the ganglion cells of the retina. In a 17-day-old rat fetus, PI4KIIIbeta was found to be more widely distributed and PI4KIIIalpha was primarily expressed in neurons. These results indicate that PI4KIIIbeta is more widely expressed than PI4KIIIalpha, and that the two enzymes are probably coexpressed in many neurons. Such expression pattern and the conservation of these two proteins during evolution suggest their nonredundant functions in mammalian cells.

Abstract
In eukaryotic cells, phosphatidylinositol can be phosphorylated on the inositol ring by a series of kinases to produce at least seven distinct phosphoinositides. These lipids have been implicated in a variety of cellular processes, including calcium regulation, actin rearrangement, vesicle trafficking, cell survival and mitogenesis. The phosphorylated lipids can act as precursors of second messengers or act directly to recruit specific signaling proteins to the membrane. A number of the kinases responsible for producing these lipids have been purified and their cDNA clones have been isolated. The most well characterized of these enzymes are the phosphoinositide 3-kinases. However, progress has also been made in the characterization of phosphatidylinositol 4-kinases and phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinases. In addition, new pathways involving phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate 4-kinases, phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate 5-kinases and phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate 4-kinases have recently been described. The various enzymes and pathways involved in the synthesis of cellular phosphoinositides will be discussed.

Abstract
By constructing DNA probes we have identified and cloned a human PtdIns 4-kinase, PI4K230, corresponding to a mRNA of 7.0 kb. The cDNA encodes a protein of 2044 amino acids. The C-terminal part of ca. 260 amino acids represents the catalytic domain which is highly conserved in all recently cloned PtdIns 4-kinases. N-terminal motifs indicate multiple heterologous protein interactions. Human PtdIns 4-kinase PI4K230 expressed in vitro exhibits a specific activity of 58 micromol mg-1min-1. The enzyme expressed in Sf9 cells is essentially not inhibited by adenosine, it shows a high Km for ATP of about 300 microM and it is half-maximally inactivated by approximately 200 nM wortmannin. These data classify this enzyme as type 3 PtdIns 4-kinase. Antibodies raised against the N-terminal part moderately activate and those raised against the C-terminal catalytic domain inhibit the enzymatic activity. The coexistence of two different type 3 PtdIns 4-kinases, PI4K92 and PI4K230, in several human tissues, including brain, suggests that these enzymes are involved in distinct basic cellular functions.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol metabolism plays a central role in signaling pathways in animals and is also believed to be of importance in signal transduction in higher plants. We report here the molecular cloning of a cDNA encoding a previously unidentified 126-kDa phosphatidylinositol (PI) 4-kinase (AtPI4Kbeta) from the higher plant Arabidopsis thaliana. The novel protein possesses the conserved domains present in animal and yeast PI 4-kinases, namely a lipid kinase unique domain and a catalytic domain. An additional domain, approximately 300 amino acids long, containing a high percentage (46%) of charged amino acids is specific to this plant enzyme. Recombinant AtPI4Kbeta expressed in baculovirus-infected insect (Spodoptera frugiperda) cells phosphorylated phosphatidylinositol exclusively at the D4 position of the inositol ring. Recombinant protein was maximally activated by 0.6% Triton X-100 but was inhibited by adenosine with an IC50 of approximately 200 microM. Wortmannin at a concentration of 10 microM inhibited AtPI4Kbeta activity by approximately 90%. AtPI4Kbeta transcript levels were similar in all tissues analyzed. Light or treatment with hormones or salts did not change AtPI4Kbeta transcript levels to a great extent, indicating constitutive expression of the AtPI4Kbeta gene.

Abstract
Epitope tagging is a recombinant DNA method by which a protein encoded by a cloned gene is made immunoreactive to a known antibody. This review discusses the major advantages and limitations of epitope tagging and describes a number of recent applications. Major areas of application include monitoring protein expression, localizing proteins at the cellular and subcellular levels, and protein purification, as well as the analysis of protein topology, dynamics and interactions. Recently the method has also found use in transgenic and gene therapy studies and in the emerging fields of functional genomics and proteomics.

Abstract
Signaling roles for phosphoinositides that involve their regulated hydrolysis to generate second messengers have been well characterized. Recent work has revealed additional signaling roles for phosphoinositides that do not involve their hydrolysis. PtdIns 3-P, PtdIns 3,4,5-P3, and PtdIns 4,5-P2 function as site-specific signals on membranes that recruit and/or activate proteins for the assembly of spatially localized functional complexes. A large number of phosphoinositide-binding proteins have been identified as the potential effectors for phosphoinositide signals. Common themes of localized signal generation and the spatially localized recruitment of effector proteins appear to underlie mechanisms employed in signal transduction, cytoskeletal, and membrane trafficking events.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol, a component of eukaryotic cell membranes, is unique among phospholipids in that its head group can be phosphorylated at multiple free hydroxyls. Several phosphorylated derivatives of phosphatidylinositol, collectively termed phosphoinositides, have been identified in eukaryotic cells from yeast to mammals. Phosphoinositides are involved in the regulation of diverse cellular processes, including proliferation, survival, cytoskeletal organization, vesicle trafficking, glucose transport, and platelet function. The enzymes that phosphorylate phosphatidylinositol and its derivatives are termed phosphoinositide kinases. Recent advances have challenged previous hypotheses about the substrate selectivity of different phosphoinositide kinase families. Here we re-examine the pathways of phosphoinositide synthesis and the enzymes involved.

Abstract
Leukocyte adhesion to the extracellular matrix (ECM) is tightly controlled and is vital for the immune response. Circulating lymphocytes leave the bloodstream and adhere to ECM components at sites of inflammation and lymphoid tissues. Mechanisms for regulating T-lymphocyte-ECM adhesion include (i) an alteration in the affinity of cell surface integrin receptors for their extracellular ligands and (ii) an alteration of events following postreceptor occupancy (e.g., cell spreading). Whereas H-Ras and R-Ras were previously shown to affect T-cell adhesion by altering the affinity state of the integrin receptors, no signaling molecule has been identified for the second mechanism. In this study, we demonstrated that expression of an activated mutant of Rac triggered dramatic spreading of T cells and their increased adhesion on immobilized fibronectin in an integrin-dependent manner. This effect was not mimicked by expression of activated mutant forms of Rho, Cdc42, H-Ras, or ARF6, indicating the unique role of Rac in this event. The Rac-induced spreading was accompanied by specific cytoskeletal rearrangements. Also, a clustering of integrins at sites of cell adhesion and at the peripheral edges of spread cells was observed. We demonstrate that expression of RacV12 did not alter the level of expression of cell surface integrins or the affinity state of the integrin receptors. Moreover, our results indicate that Rac plays a role in the regulation of T-cell adhesion by a mechanism involving cell spreading, rather than by altering the level of expression or the affinity of the integrin receptors. Furthermore, we show that the Rac-mediated signaling pathway leading to spreading of T lymphocytes did not require activation of c-Jun kinase, serum response factor, or pp70(S6 kinase) but appeared to involve a phospholipid kinase.

Abstract
COPII vesicle formation requires only three coat assembly subunits: Sar1p, Sec13/31p, and Sec23/24p. PI 4-phosphate or PI 4,5-bisphosphate is required for the binding of these proteins to liposomes. The GTP-bound form of Sar1p recruits Sec23/24p to the liposomes as well as to the ER membranes, and this Sar1p-Sec23/24p complex is required for the binding of Sec13/31p. Ultrastructural analysis shows that the binding of COPII coat proteins to liposomes results in coated patches, coated buds, and coated vesicles of 50-90 nm in diameter. Budding proceeds without rupture of the donor liposome or vesicle product. These observations suggest that the assembly of the COPII coat on the ER occurs by a sequential binding of coat proteins to specific lipids and that this assembly promotes the budding of COPII-coated vesicles.

Abstract
We report herein the cloning and characterization of a novel class II phosphoinositide 3-kinase, termed PI3K-IIgamma, from the cDNA library of regenerating rat liver. This cDNA encodes a protein of 1505 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 170,972 Da. The amino acid sequence of PI3K-IIgamma is highly similar to those of class II PI 3-kinases, including murine Cpk-m/p170 and human HsC2-PI3K. It contains a C2 domain at the C terminus but no recognizable protein motifs at its N terminus. PI3K-IIgamma displays a restricted substrate specificity for PtdIns and PtdIns 4-P, but not for PtdIns 4,5-P2. By epitope tag immunocytochemistry, the immunoreactivity for PI3K-IIgamma is localized in the juxtanuclear Golgi region at high levels and also in the plasma and nuclear membranes at low levels. By Northern blot analysis and in situ hybridization histochemistry, PI3K-IIgamma mRNA expression is confined to the liver throughout the development with much higher expression in adult liver than in fetal liver. In addition, its expression increases during liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy with maximal expression after the growth period, suggesting that PI3K-IIgamma may function mainly in highly differentiated hepatic cells.

Abstract
Several lines of evidence indicate that enzymes that modify membrane lipids function in the regulation of constitutive membrane traffic. Recent evidence suggests that specific phosphatidylinositides may regulate the activity of proteins with diverse functions in membrane transport, such as dynamin, the clathrin-associated AP-2 complex, and proteins that stimulate guanine nucleotide exchange on ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs). ARF proteins activate a phospholipase D that produces phosphatidic acid from phosphatidylcholine, and this may be essential for the formation of certain types of transport vesicles or may be constitutive vesicular transport to signal transduction pathways.

Abstract
Agonist-sensitive phosphoinositide pools are maintained by recently-identified wortmannin (WT)-sensitive phosphatidylinositol (PI) 4-kinase(s) (Nakanishi, S., Catt, K. J., and Balla, T. (1995) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 92, 5317-5321). Two loosely membrane-associated WT-sensitive type III PI 4-kinases were isolated from bovine adrenal cortex as [3H]WT-labeled 110- and 210-kDa proteins. Based on peptide sequences from the smaller enzyme, a 3. 9-kilobase pair (kb) cDNA with an open reading frame encoding a 90-kDa protein was isolated from a bovine brain cDNA library. Expression of this cDNA in COS-7 cells yielded a 110-kDa protein with WT-sensitive PI 4-kinase activity. Northern blot analysis of a human mRNA panel showed a single approximately 3.8-kb transcript. Peptide sequences obtained from the 210-kDa enzyme corresponded to those of a recently described rat 230-kDa PI 4-kinase. A 6.5-kb cDNA containing an open reading frame of 6129 nucleotides that encoded a 230-kDa protein, was isolated from brain cDNA. Northern blot analysis of human mRNA revealed a major 7.5-kb transcript. The molecular cloning of these novel WT-sensitive type III PI 4-kinases will allow detailed analysis of their signaling and other regulatory functions in mammalian cells.

Abstract
Inositol phospholipids are a focus of renewed interest with the discovery of their unanticipated pivotal roles in membrane trafficking events. Reversible phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol generates spatially localized signals on membranes that recruit or activate proteins essential for cell membrane budding, fission and fusion. Recent advances have taken place in the characterization of lipid kinases and phosphoinositide-regulated effector proteins, and in the elucidation of phospholipase D mediated mechanisms involving ADP ribosylation factor and Rho family proteins. The roles played by phosphoinositides in aspects of secretory granule formation, fusion and endocytosis indicate the importance of phosphorylated lipids for neurotransmitter release.
