Abstract
The complexation reactions of phosphocholine and pyrimidine nucleosides as well as nucleotides with copper(II) ions were studied in the water system. Using potentiometric methods and computer calculations, the stability constants of the species were determined. Using spectroscopic methods such as UV-vis, EPR, 13C NMR, 31P NMR, FT-IR and CD, the coordination mode was established for complexes created in pH range 2.5-11.0. These studies will lead to a better understanding the role of copper(II) ions in living organisms and explain the interactions between them and the studied bioligands. The differences and similarities between nucleosides and nucleotides in the studied systems were also described, which testify to the significant influence of phosphate groups on the processes of metal ion complexation and interactions between ligands.

J Biol Chem 2023; 299:104578. [PMID: 36871755 PMCID: PMC10166788 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2023.104578] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2022] [Revised: 02/21/2023] [Accepted: 02/25/2023] [Indexed: 03/06/2023] Open
Abstract
The CDP-choline (Kennedy) pathway culminates with the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) by choline/ethanolamine phosphotransferase 1 (CEPT1) in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and PC synthesis by choline phosphotransferase 1 (CHPT1) in the Golgi apparatus. Whether the PC and PE synthesized by CEPT1 and CHPT1 in the ER and Golgi apparatus has different cellular functions has not been formally addressed. Here we used CRISPR editing to generate CEPT1-and CHPT1-knockout (KO) U2OS cells to assess the differential contribution of the enzymes to feed-back regulation of nuclear CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CCT)α, the rate-limiting enzyme in PC synthesis, and lipid droplet (LD) biogenesis. We found that CEPT1-KO cells had a 50% and 80% reduction in PC and PE synthesis, respectively, while PC synthesis in CHPT1-KO cells was also reduced by 50%. CEPT1 knockout caused the post-transcriptional induction of CCTα protein expression as well as its dephosphorylation and constitutive localization on the inner nuclear membrane and nucleoplasmic reticulum. This activated CCTα phenotype was prevented by incubating CEPT1-KO cells with PC liposomes to restore end-product inhibition. Additionally, we determined that CEPT1 was in close proximity to cytoplasmic LDs, and CEPT1 knockout resulted in the accumulation of small cytoplasmic LDs, as well as increased nuclear LDs enriched in CCTα. In contrast, CHPT1 knockout had no effect on CCTα regulation or LD biogenesis. Thus, CEPT1 and CHPT1 contribute equally to PC synthesis; however, only PC synthesized by CEPT1 in the ER regulates CCTα and the biogenesis of cytoplasmic and nuclear LDs.

Abstract
While most of the articles in this issue review the workings of integral membrane enzymes, in this review, we describe the catalytic mechanism of an enzyme that contains a soluble catalytic domain but appears to catalyze its reaction on the membrane surface, anchored and assisted by a separate regulatory amphipathic helical domain and inter-domain linker. Membrane partitioning of CTP: phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CCT), a key regulatory enzyme of phosphatidylcholine metabolism, is regulated chiefly by changes in membrane phospholipid composition, and boosts the enzyme's catalytic efficiency >200-fold. Catalytic enhancement by membrane binding involves the displacement of an auto-inhibitory helix from the active site entrance-way and promotion of a new conformational ensemble for the inter-domain, allosteric linker that has an active role in the catalytic cycle. We describe the evidence for close contact between membrane lipid, a compact allosteric linker, and the CCT active site, and discuss potential ways that this interaction enhances catalysis.

Abstract
PML proteins assemble into noncanonical lipid-associated PML structures (LAPS) on nuclear lipid droplets, which recruit CCTα and Lipin1 for the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine and triacylglycerol. Nuclear lipid droplets (nLDs) form on the inner nuclear membrane by a mechanism involving promyelocytic leukemia (PML), the protein scaffold of PML nuclear bodies. We report that PML structures on nLDs in oleate-treated U2OS cells, referred to as lipid-associated PML structures (LAPS), differ from canonical PML nuclear bodies by the relative absence of SUMO1, SP100, and DAXX. These nLDs were also enriched in CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase α (CCTα), the phosphatidic acid phosphatase Lipin1, and DAG. Translocation of CCTα onto nLDs was mediated by its α-helical M-domain but was not correlated with its activator DAG. High-resolution imaging revealed that CCTα and LAPS occupied distinct polarized regions on nLDs. PML knockout U2OS (PML KO) cells lacking LAPS had a 40–50% reduction in nLDs with associated CCTα, and residual nLDs were almost devoid of Lipin1 and DAG. As a result, phosphatidylcholine and triacylglycerol synthesis was inhibited in PML KO cells. We conclude that in response to excess exogenous fatty acids, LAPS are required to assemble nLDs that are competent to recruit CCTα and Lipin1.

Abstract
CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase-alpha (CCTα) and CCTβ catalyze the rate-limiting step in phosphatidylcholine (PC) biosynthesis. CCTα is activated by association of its α-helical M-domain with nuclear membranes, which is negatively regulated by phosphorylation of the adjacent P-domain. To understand how phosphorylation regulates CCT activity, we developed phosphosite-specific antibodies for pS319 and pY359+pS362 at the N- and C-termini of the P-domain, respectively. Oleate treatment of cultured cells triggered CCTα translocation to the nuclear envelope (NE) and nuclear lipid droplets (nLDs) and rapid dephosphorylation of pS319. Removal of oleate led to dissociation of CCTα from the NE and increased phosphorylation of S319. Choline depletion of cells also caused CCTα translocation to the NE and S319 dephosphorylation. In contrast, Y359 and S362 were constitutively phosphorylated during oleate addition and removal, and CCTα-pY359+pS362 translocated to the NE and nLDs of oleate-treated cells. Mutagenesis revealed that phosphorylation of S319 is regulated independently of Y359+S362, and that CCTα-S315D+S319D was defective in localization to the NE. We conclude that the P-domain undergoes negative charge polarization due to dephosphorylation of S319 and possibly other proline-directed sites and retention of Y359 and S362 phosphorylation, and that dephosphorylation of S319 and S315 is involved in CCTα recruitment to nuclear membranes.

Abstract
The major phospholipid present in most eukaryotic membranes is phosphatidylcholine (PC), comprising ~ 50% of phospholipid content. PC metabolic pathways are highly conserved from yeast to humans. The main pathway for the synthesis of PC is the Kennedy (CDP-choline) pathway. In this pathway, choline is converted to phosphocholine by choline kinase, phosphocholine is metabolized to CDP-choline by the rate-determining enzyme for this pathway, CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase, and cholinephosphotransferase condenses CDP-choline with diacylglycerol to produce PC. This Review discusses how PC synthesis via the Kennedy pathway is regulated, its role in cellular and biological processes, as well as diseases known to be associated with defects in PC synthesis. Finally, we present the first model for the making of a membrane via PC synthesis.

Abstract
The amphipathic helical (AH) membrane binding motif is recognized as a major device for lipid compositional sensing. We explore the function and mechanism of sensing by the lipid biosynthetic enzyme, CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CCT). As the regulatory enzyme in phosphatidylcholine (PC) synthesis, CCT contributes to membrane PC homeostasis. CCT directly binds and inserts into the surface of bilayers that are deficient in PC and therefore enriched in lipids that enhance surface charge and/or create lipid packing voids. These two membrane physical properties induce the folding of the CCT M domain into a ≥60 residue AH. Membrane binding activates catalysis by a mechanism that has been partially deciphered. We review the evidence for CCT compositional sensing, and the membrane and protein determinants for lipid selective membrane-interactions. We consider the factors that promote the binding of CCT isoforms to the membranes of the ER, nuclear envelope, or lipid droplets, but exclude CCT from other organelles and the plasma membrane. The CCT sensing mechanism is compared with several other proteins that use an AH motif for membrane compositional sensing. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: The cellular lipid landscape edited by Tim P. Levine and Anant K. Menon.

Abstract
CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CCT) catalyzes a rate-limiting and regulated step in the CDP-choline pathway for the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and PC-derived lipids. Control of CCT activity is multi-layered, and includes direct regulation by reversible membrane binding involving a built-in lipid compositional sensor. Thus CCT contributes to phospholipid compositional homeostasis. CCT also modifies the curvature of its target membrane. Knowledge of CCT structure and regulation of its catalytic function are relatively advanced compared to many lipid metabolic enzymes, and are reviewed in detail. Recently the genetic origins of two human developmental and lipogenesis disorders have been traced to mutations in the gene for CCTα.

Abstract
Spondylometaphyseal dysplasia with cone-rod dystrophy is a rare autosomal-recessive disorder characterized by severe short stature, progressive lower-limb bowing, flattened vertebral bodies, metaphyseal involvement, and visual impairment caused by cone-rod dystrophy. Whole-exome sequencing of four individuals affected by this disorder from two Brazilian families identified two previously unreported homozygous mutations in PCYT1A. This gene encodes the alpha isoform of the phosphate cytidylyltransferase 1 choline enzyme, which is responsible for converting phosphocholine into cytidine diphosphate-choline, a key intermediate step in the phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis pathway. A different enzymatic defect in this pathway has been previously associated with a muscular dystrophy with mitochondrial structural abnormalities that does not have cartilage and/or bone or retinal involvement. Thus, the deregulation of the phosphatidylcholine pathway may play a role in multiple genetic diseases in humans, and further studies are necessary to uncover its precise pathogenic mechanisms and the entirety of its phenotypic spectrum.

Abstract
Lipid droplets (LDs) are cellular storage organelles for neutral lipids that vary in size and abundance according to cellular needs. Physiological conditions that promote lipid storage rapidly and markedly increase LD volume and surface. How the need for surface phospholipids is sensed and balanced during this process is unknown. Here, we show that phosphatidylcholine (PC) acts as a surfactant to prevent LD coalescence, which otherwise yields large, lipolysis-resistant LDs and triglyceride (TG) accumulation. The need for additional PC to coat the enlarging surface during LD expansion is provided by the Kennedy pathway, which is activated by reversible targeting of the rate-limiting enzyme, CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CCT), to growing LD surfaces. The requirement, targeting, and activation of CCT to growing LDs were similar in cells of Drosophila and mice. Our results reveal a mechanism to maintain PC homeostasis at the expanding LD monolayer through targeted activation of a key PC synthesis enzyme.

Abstract
Calmodulin is a universal calcium-sensing protein that has pleiotropic effects. Here we show that calmodulin inhibits a new SCF (Skp1-Cullin-F-box) E3 ligase component, FBXL2. During Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, SCF (FBXL2) targets the key enzyme, CCTα, for its monoubiquitination and degradation, thereby reducing synthesis of the indispensable membrane and surfactant component, phosphatidylcholine. P. aeruginosa triggers calcium influx and calcium-dependent activation of FBXL2 within the Golgi complex, where it engages CCTα. FBXL2 through its C terminus binds to the CCTα IQ motif. FBXL2 knockdown increases CCTα levels and phospholipid synthesis. The molecular interaction of FBXL2 with CCTα is opposed by calmodulin, which traffics to the Golgi complex, binds FBXL2 (residues 80 to 90) via its C terminus, and vies with the ligase for occupancy within the IQ motif. These observations were recapitulated in murine models of P. aeruginosa-induced surfactant deficiency, where calmodulin gene transfer reduced FBXL2 actions by stabilizing CCTα and lessening the severity of inflammatory lung injury. The results provide a unique model of calcium-regulated intermolecular competition between an E3 ligase subunit and an antagonist that is critically relevant to pneumonia and lipid homeostasis.

Abstract
Membrane phosphatidylcholine homeostasis is maintained in part by a sensing device in the key regulatory enzyme, CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CCT). CCT responds to decreases in membrane phosphatidylcholine content by reversible membrane binding and activation. Two prominent isoforms, CCTα and -β2, have nearly identical catalytic domains and very similar membrane binding amphipathic helical (M) domains but have divergent and structurally disordered N-terminal (N) and C-terminal phosphorylation (P) regions. We found that the binding affinity of purified CCTβ2 for anionic membranes was weaker than CCTα by more than an order of magnitude. Using chimeric CCTs, insertion/deletion mutants, and truncated CCTs, we show that the stronger affinity of CCTα can be attributed in large part to the electrostatic membrane binding function of the polybasic nuclear localization signal (NLS) motif, present in the unstructured N-terminal segment of CCTα but lacking in CCTβ2. The membrane partitioning of CCTβ2 in cells enriched with the lipid activator, oleic acid, was also weaker than that of CCTα and was elevated by incorporation of the NLS motif. Thus, the polybasic NLS can function as a secondary membrane binding motif not only in vitro but in the context of cell membranes. A comparison of phosphorylated, dephosphorylated, and region P-truncated forms showed that the in vitro membrane affinity of CCTβ2 is more sensitive than CCTα to phosphorylation status, which antagonizes membrane binding of both isoforms. These data provide a model wherein the primary membrane binding motif, an amphipathic helical domain, works in collaboration with other intrinsically disordered segments that modulate membrane binding strength. The NLS reinforces, whereas the phosphorylated tail antagonizes the attraction of domain M for anionic membranes.

Abstract
The isoprenoid alcohol farnesol is an effective inducer of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in a variety of carcinoma cell types. In addition, farnesol has been reported to inhibit tumorigenesis in several animal models suggesting that it functions as a chemopreventative and anti-tumor agent in vivo. A number of different biochemical and cellular processes have been implicated in the growth-inhibitory and apoptosis-inducing effects of farnesol. These include regulation of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase and CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase alpha (CCTalpha), rate-limiting enzymes in the mevalonate pathway and phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis, respectively, and the generation of reactive oxygen species. In some cell types the action of farnesol is mediated through nuclear receptors, including activation of farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs). Recent studies have revealed that induction of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and the subsequent activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) play a critical role in the induction of apoptosis by farnesol in lung carcinoma cells. This induction was found to be dependent on the activation of the MEK1/2-ERK1/2 pathway. In addition, farnesol induces activation of the NF-kappaB signaling pathway and a number of NF-kappaB target genes. Optimal activation of NF-kappaB was reported to depend on the phosphorylation of p65/RelA by the MEK1/2-MSK1 signaling pathway. In a number of cells farnesol-induced apoptosis was found to be linked to activation of the apoptosome. This review provides an overview of the biochemical and cellular processes regulated by farnesol in relationship to its growth-inhibitory, apoptosis-promoting, and anti-tumor effects.

Abstract
CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase alpha (CCTalpha), the rate-limiting enzyme in the CDP-choline pathway for phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) synthesis, is activated by translocation to nuclear membranes. However, CCTalpha is cytoplasmic in cells with increased capacity for PtdCho synthesis and following acute activation, suggesting that nuclear export is linked to activation. The objective of this study was to identify which CCTalpha domains were involved in nuclear export in response to the lipid activators farnesol (FOH) and oleate. Imaging of CCT-green fluorescent protein (GFP) mutants expressed in CCTalpha-deficient CHO58 cells showed that FOH-mediated translocation to nuclear membranes and export to the cytoplasm required the membrane binding amphipathic helix (domain M). Nuclear export was reduced by a mutation that mimics constitutive phosphorylation of the CCT phosphorylation (P) domain. However, domain M alone was sufficient to promote translocation to the nuclear envelope and export of a nuclear-localized GFP construct in FOH- or oleate-treated CHO58 cells. In the context of acute activation with lipid mediators, nuclear export of CCT-GFP mutants correlated with in vitro activity but not PtdCho synthesis. This study describes a nuclear export pathway that is dependent on membrane interaction of an amphipathic helix, thus linking lipid-dependent activation to the nuclear/cytoplasmic distribution of CCTalpha.

Abstract
Phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis in animal cells is primarily regulated by the rapid translocation of CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase alpha between a soluble form that is inactive and a membrane-associated form that is activated. Until less than 10 years ago there was no information on the transcriptional regulation of phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis. Research has identified the transcription factors Sp1, Rb, TEF4, Ets-1 and E2F as enhancing the expression of the cytidylyltransferase and Net as a factor that represses cytidylyltransferase expression. Key transcription factors involved in cholesterol or fatty acid metabolism (SREBPs, LXRs, PPARs) do not have a major role in transcriptional regulation of the cytidylyltransferase. Rather than being linked to cholesterol or energy metabolism, regulation of the cytidylyltransferase is linked to the cell cycle, cell growth and differentiation. Transcriptional regulation of phospholipid biosynthesis is more elegantly understood in yeast and involves responses to inositol, choline and zinc in the culture medium.

Abstract
CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CCTalpha) is a rate-regulatory enzyme required for phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) synthesis. CCTalpha is also a phosphoenzyme, but the physiologic role of kinases on enzyme function remains unclear. We report high-level expression of two major isoforms of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase family (JNK1 and JNK2) in murine lung epithelia. Further, JNK1 and JNK2 phosphorylated purified CCTalpha in vitro, and this was associated with a dose-dependent decrease (approximately 40%) in CCT activity. To evaluate JNK in vivo, lung epithelial cells were infected with a replication defective adenoviral vector encoding murine JNK2 (Adv-JNK2) or an empty vector. Adv-JNK2 infection, unlike the empty vector, markedly increased JNK2 expression concomitant with increased incorporation of [32P]orthophosphate into endogenous CCTalpha. Although Adv-JNK2 infection only modestly reduced CCT activity, it reduced PtdCho synthesis by approximately 30% in cells. These observations suggest a role for JNK kinases as negative regulators of phospholipid synthesis in murine lung epithelia.

Abstract
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae CKI1-encoded choline kinase catalyzes the committed step in phosphatidylcholine synthesis via the Kennedy pathway. The enzyme is phosphorylated on multiple serine residues, and some of this phosphorylation is mediated by protein kinase A. In this work we examined the hypothesis that choline kinase is also phosphorylated by protein kinase C. Using choline kinase as a substrate, protein kinase C activity was dose- and time-dependent and dependent on the concentrations of choline kinase (K(m) = 27 microg/ml) and ATP (K(m) = 15 microM). This phosphorylation, which occurred on a serine residue, was accompanied by a 1.6-fold stimulation of choline kinase activity. The synthetic peptide SRSSSQRRHS (V5max/K(m) = 17.5 mm(-1) micromol min(-1) mg(-1)) that contains the protein kinase C motif for Ser25 was a substrate for protein kinase C. A Ser25 to Ala (S25A) mutation in choline kinase resulted in a 60% decrease in protein kinase C phosphorylation of the enzyme. Phosphopeptide mapping analysis of the S25A mutant enzyme confirmed that Ser25 was a protein kinase C target site. In vivo the S25A mutation correlated with a decrease (55%) in phosphatidylcholine synthesis via the Kennedy pathway, whereas an S25D phosphorylation site mimic correlated with an increase (44%) in phosphatidylcholine synthesis. Although the S25A (protein kinase C site) mutation did not affect the phosphorylation of choline kinase by protein kinase A, the S30A (protein kinase A site) mutation caused a 46% reduction in enzyme phosphorylation by protein kinase C. A choline kinase synthetic peptide (SQRRHSLTRQ) containing Ser30 was a substrate (V(max)/K(m) = 3.0 mm(-1) micromol min(-1) mg(-1)) for protein kinase C. Comparison of phosphopeptide maps of the wild type and S30A mutant choline kinase enzymes phosphorylated by protein kinase C confirmed that Ser30 was also a target site for protein kinase C.

Abstract
Surfactant deficiency contributes to acute lung injury and may result from the elaboration of bioactive lipids such as oxysterols. We observed that the oxysterol 22-hydroxycholesterol (22-HC) in combination with its obligate partner, 9-cis-retinoic acid (9-cis-RA), decreased surfactant phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) synthesis by increasing phosphorylation of the regulatory enzyme CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase-alpha (CCTalpha). Phosphorylation of CCTalpha decreased its activity. 22-HC/9-cis-RA inhibition of PtdCho synthesis was blocked by PD98059 or dominant-negative ERK (p42 kinase). Overexpression of constitutively active MEK1, the kinase upstream of p42 kinase, increased CCTalpha phosphorylation. Expression of truncated CCTalpha mutants lacking proline-directed sites within the C-terminal phosphorylation domain partially blocked oxysterol-mediated inhibition of PtdCho synthesis. Mutagenesis of Ser315 within CCTalpha was both required and sufficient to confer significant resistance to 22-HC/9-cis-RA inhibition of PtdCho synthesis. A novel putative ERK-docking domain N-terminal to this phosphoacceptor site was mapped within the CCTalpha membrane-binding domain (residues 287-300). The results are the first demonstration of a physiologically relevant phosphorylation site and docking domain within CCTalpha that serve as targets for ERKs, resulting in inhibition of surfactant synthesis.

Abstract
During entry into the cell cycle a phosphatidylcholine (PC) metabolic cycle is activated. We have examined the hypothesis that PC synthesis during the G(0) to G(1) transition is controlled by one or more lipid products of PC turnover acting directly on the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis pathway, CTP: phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CCT). The acceleration of PC synthesis was two- to threefold during the first hour after addition of serum to quiescent IIC9 fibroblasts. The rate increased to approximately 15-fold above the basal rate during the second hour. The production of arachidonic acid, diacylglycerol (DAG), and phosphatidic acid (PA) preceded the second, rapid phase of PC synthesis. However, an increase in the cellular content of these lipid mediators was detected only for DAG. CCT activation and translocation to membranes accompanied the second phase of the PC synthesis acceleration. Bromoenol lactone (BEL), an inhibitor of calcium-independent phospholipase A(2) and PA phosphatase, blocked production of fatty acids and DAG, inhibited both phases of the PC synthesis response to serum, and reduced CCT activity and membrane affinity. The effect of BEL on PC synthesis was partially reversed by in situ generation of DAG via exogenous PC-specific phospholipase C to generate approximately 2-fold elevation in PC-derived DAG. Exogenous arachidonic acid also partially reversed the inhibition by BEL, but only at a concentration that generated a supra-physiological cellular content of free fatty acid. 1-Butanol, which blocks PA production, had no effect on DAG generation, or on PC synthesis. We conclude that fatty acids and DAG could contribute to the initial slow phase of the PC synthesis response. DAG is the most likely lipid regulator of CCT activity and the rapid phase of PC synthesis. However, processes other than direct activation of CCT by lipid mediators likely contribute to the highly accelerated phase during entry into the cell cycle.

Abstract
CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CCT) is an enzyme critical for cellular phosphatidylcholine (PC) synthesis, converting phosphocholine and cytidine 5'-triphosphate (CTP) to CDP-choline. We have isolated a cDNA encoding an isoform of CCT from Drosophila melanogaster and expressed the recombinant native and 6 x -His-tagged forms using a baculovirus expression system in Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) insect cells. Immunoblot using anti-phospho amino acid antibodies reveals the enzyme is phosphorylated on serine and threonine residues, but not tyrosine. The purified native enzyme exhibits a V(max) value of 1352+/-159 nmol CDP-choline/min/mg, a K(m) value of 0.50+/-0.09 mM for phosphocholine, and a K' (Hill constant) value of 0.72+/-0.10 mM for CTP. The 6 x -His-tagged enzyme has similar properties with a V(max) value of 2254+/-253 nmol CDP-choline/min/mg, a K(m) value of 0.63+/-0.13 mM for phosphocholine and a K' for CTP equal to 0.81+/-0.20 mM. Each form of the enzyme was activated to a similar extent by synthetic PC vesicles containing 50 mol% oleate. The efficiency of lipid activation was greatest using PC vesicles containing diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), significantly less efficient activation was seen when phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphatidylinositol (PI) were incorporated into vesicles, and PC alone or PC vesicles containing phosphatidylethanolamine were the least efficient enzyme activators.

Abstract
There are two mammalian genes that encode isoforms of CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CCT), a key rate-controlling step in membrane phospholipid biogenesis. Quantitative determination of the CCT transcripts reveals that CCTalpha is ubiquitously expressed and is found at the highest levels in the testis and lung, with lower levels in the liver and ovary. CCTbeta2 is a very minor isoform in most tissues but is significantly expressed in the brain, lung, and gonads. CCTbeta3 is the third isoform recently discovered in mice and is expressed in the same tissues as CCTbeta2, with its highest level in testes. We investigated the role(s) of CCTbeta2 by generating knockout mice. The brains and lungs of mice lacking CCTbeta2 expression did not exhibit any overt defects. On the other hand, a large percentage of the CCTbeta2(-/-) females were sterile and their ovaries exhibited defective ovarian follicle development. The proportion of female CCTbeta2(-/-) mice with defective ovaries increased as the animals aged. The rare litters born from CCTbeta2(-/-) x CCTbeta2(-/0) matings had the normal number of pups. The abnormal ovarian histopathology was characterized by disorganization of the tissue in young adult mice and absence of follicles and ova in older mice, along with interstitial stromal cell hyperplasia which culminated in the emergence of tubulostromal ovarian tumors by 16 months of age. Grossly defective CCTbeta2(-/-) ovaries were associated with high follicle-stimulating (FSH) and luteinizing (LH) hormone levels. Male CCTbeta2(-/0) mice exhibited progressive multifocal testicular degeneration and reduced fertility but had normal FSH and LH levels. Thus, the most notable phenotype of CCTbeta2 knockout mice was gonad degeneration and reproductive deficiency. The results indicate that although CCTbeta2 is expressed at very low levels compared to the alpha-isoform, loss of CCTbeta2 expression causes a breakdown in the gonadal response to hormonal stimulation.

Abstract
During differentiation neurons increase phospholipid biosynthesis to provide new membrane for neurite growth. We studied the regulation of phosphatidylcholine (PC) biosynthesis during differentiation of two neuronal cell lines: PC12 cells and Neuro2a cells. We hypothesized that in PC12 cells nerve growth factor (NGF) would up-regulate the activity and expression of the rate-limiting enzyme in PC biosynthesis, CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CT). During neurite outgrowth, NGF doubled the amount of cellular PC and CT activity. CTbeta2 mRNA increased within 1 day of NGF application, prior to the formation of visible neurites, and continued to increase during neurite growth. When neurites retracted in response to NGF withdrawal, CTbeta2 mRNA, protein, and CT activity decreased. NGF specifically activated CTbeta2 by promoting its translocation from cytosol to membranes. In contrast, NGF did not alter CTalpha expression or translocation. The increase in both CTbeta2 mRNA and CT activity was inhibited by U0126, an inhibitor of mitogen-activated kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase 1/2 (MEK1/2). In Neuro2a cells, retinoic acid significantly increased CT activity (by 54%) and increased CTbeta2 protein, coincident with neurite outgrowth but did not change CTalpha expression. Together, these data suggest that the CTbeta2 isoform of CT is specifically up-regulated and activated during neuronal differentiation to increase PC biosynthesis for growing neurites.

Abstract
Phospholipid biosynthesis plays a key role in malarial infection and is regulated by CCT (CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase). This enzyme belongs to the group of amphitropic proteins which are regulated by reversible membrane interaction. To assess the role of the putative membrane-binding domain of Plasmodium falciparum CCT (PfCCT), we synthesized three peptides, K21, V20 and K54 corresponding to residues 274-294, 308-327 and 274-327 of PfCCT respectively. Conformational behaviour of the peptides, their ability to bind to liposomes and to destabilize lipid bilayers, and their insertion properties were investigated by different biophysical techniques. The intercalation mechanisms of the peptides were refined further by using surface-pressure measurements on various monolayers at the air/water interface. In the present study, we show that the three studied peptides are able to bind to anionic and neutral phospholipids, and that they present an alpha-helical conformation upon lipid binding. Peptides V20 and the full-length K54 intercalate their hydrophobic parts into an anionic bilayer and, to a lesser extent, a neutral one for V20. Peptide K21 interacts only superficially with both types of phospholipid vesicles. Adsorption experiments performed at the air/water interface revealed that peptide K54 is strongly surface-active in the absence of lipid. Peptide V20 presents an atypical behaviour in the presence of phosphatidylserine. Whatever the initial surface pressure of a phosphatidylserine film, peptide V20 and phosphatidylserine entities seem linked together in a special organization involving electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. We showed that PfCCT presents different lipid-dependence properties from other studied CCTs. Although the lipid-binding domain seems to be located in the C-terminal region of the enzyme, as with the mammalian counterpart, the membrane anchorage, which plays a key role in the enzyme regulation, is driven by two alpha-helices, which behave differently from one another.

Abstract
CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CCT) is a key regulatory enzyme in phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) biosynthesis, and in mammals, there are two distinct genes that encode enzymes that catalyze this reaction. This work defines the structures of both the murine CCT genes (Pcyt1a and Pcyt1b) and identifies a new CCT protein, CCTbeta3, with a unique amino terminus that arises from an alternate initiation exon. CCTalpha is expressed in all tissues, and is most abundant in liver, kidney and heart. A second CCTalpha transcript is described that initiates from a separate untranslated exon that is most highly expressed in testis. The CCTbeta isoforms are most highly expressed in brain and reproductive tissues. CCTbeta3 is not expressed in embryonic brain tissues, but is a significant transcript in the adult. These data suggest unique roles for the CCT protein isoforms in the differential regulation of PtdCho biosynthesis in specific tissues.

Abstract
Phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis via the CDP-choline pathway is primarily regulated by CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CT). Transcriptional enhancer factor-4 (TEF-4) enhances the transcription of CTalpha in COS-7 cells by interactions with the basal transcription machinery (Sugimoto, H., Bakovic, M., Yamashita, S., and Vance, D.E. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276,12338-12344). To identify the most important transcription factor involved in basal CTalpha transcription, we made CTalpha promoter-deletion and -mutated constructs linked to a luciferase reporter and transfected them into COS-7 cells. The results indicate that an important site regulating basal CTalpha transcription is -53/-47 (GACTTCC), which is a putative consensus-binding site of Ets transcription factors (GGAA) in the opposite orientation. Gel shift analyses indicated the existence of a binding protein for -53/-47 (GACTTCC) in nuclear extracts of COS-7 cells. When anti-Ets-1 antibody was incubated with the probe in gel shift analyses, the intensity of the binding protein was decreased. The binding of endogenous Ets-1 to the promoter probe was increased when TEF-4 was expressed; however, the amount of Ets-1 detected by immunoblotting was unchanged. When cells were transfected with Ets-1 cDNA, the luciferase activity of CTalpha promoter constructs was greatly enhanced. Co-transfection experiments with Ets-1 and TEF-4 showed enhanced expression of reporter constructs as well as CTalpha mRNA. These results suggest that Ets-1 is an important transcriptional activator of the CTalpha gene and that Ets-1 activity is enhanced by TEF-4.

Abstract
Amphitropic proteins are regulated by reversible membrane interaction. Anionic phospholipids generally promote membrane binding of such proteins via electrostatics between the negatively charged lipid headgroups and clusters of basic groups on the proteins. In this study of one amphitropic protein, a cytidylyltransferase (CT) that regulates phosphatidylcholine synthesis, we found that substitution of lysines to glutamine along both interfacial strips of the membrane-binding amphipathic helix eliminated electrostatic binding. Unexpectedly, three glutamates also participate in the selectivity for anionic membrane surfaces. These glutamates become protonated in the low pH milieu at the surface of anionic, but not zwitterionic membranes, increasing protein positive charge and hydrophobicity. The binding and insertion into lipid vesicles of a synthetic peptide containing the three glutamates was pH-dependent with an apparent pK(a) that varied with anionic lipid content. Glutamate to glutamine substitution eliminated the pH dependence of the membrane interaction, and reduced anionic membrane selectivity of both the peptide and the whole CT enzyme examined in cells. Thus anionic lipids, working via surface-localized pH effects, can promote membrane binding by modifying protein charge and hydrophobicity, and this novel mechanism contributes to the membrane selectivity of CT in vivo.

Abstract
Phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) is the major phospholipid present in eukaryotic cell membranes generally comprising 50% of the phospholipid mass of most cells and their requisite organelles. PtdCho has a major structural role in maintaining cell and organelle integrity, and thus its synthesis must be tightly monitored to ensure appropriate PtdCho levels are present to allow for its coordination with cell growth regulatory mechanisms. One would also expect that there needs to be coordinated regulation of PtdCho synthesis with its transport from its site of synthesis to cellular organelles to ensure organellar structures and functions are maintained. Each of these processes need to be intimately coordinated with cellular growth decision making processes. To this end, it has recently been revealed that ongoing PtdCho synthesis is required for global transcriptional regulation of phospholipid synthesis. PtdCho is also a major component of intracellular transport vesicles and the synthesis of PtdCho is intimately involved in the regulation of vesicle transport from the Golgi apparatus to the cell surface and the vacuole (yeast equivalent of the mammalian lysosome). This review details some of the more recent advances in our knowledge concerning the role of PtdCho in the regulation of global lipid homeostasis through (i) its restriction of the trafficking of intracellular vesicles that distribute lipids and proteins from their sites of synthesis to their ultimate cellular destinations, (ii) its regulation of specific transcriptional processes that coordinate lipid biosynthetic pathways, and (iii) the role of PtdCho catabolism in the regulation of meiosis. Combined, these regulatory roles for PtdCho ensure vesicular, organellar, and cellular membrane biogenesis occur in a coordinated manner.

Abstract
The genome of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans contains several genes that appear to encode proteins similar to CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CCT). We have isolated a 1044-nucleotide cDNA clone from a C. elegans cDNA library that encodes the 347-amino acid version of CCT that is most similar to previously-identified CCTs. Native and His-tagged forms were expressed and purified using a baculovirus expression system. The enzyme was maximally activated by 5 microM phosphatidylcholine:oleate (50:50) vesicles with a k(cat) value in the presence of lipid 37-fold greater than the k(cat) value in the absence of lipid. To localize the region of C. elegans CCT critical for lipid activation, a series of C-terminal truncation mutants was analyzed. CCT truncated after amino acids 225 or 245 was quite active in the absence of lipids and not further activated in the presence of lipids, supporting the concept that the lipid-activation segment is inhibitory to catalysis in the absence of lipids. CCT truncated after amino acids 266, 281, or 319 was activated by lipid similar to wild-type enzyme. Kinetic analysis in the absence of lipid revealed the lipid-independent CCT truncated after amino acid 245 to have a k(cat) value 15-fold greater than either full-length CCT or CCT truncated after amino acid 266. We conclude that elements critical for activation of C. elegans CCT by lipids are contained within amino acids 246-266, that this region is inhibitory in the absence of lipids, and that the inhibition is relieved by the association of the enzyme with lipid.

Abstract
CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CCT) regulates the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine in mammalian cells. In order to understand the mechanism by which this enzyme controls phosphatidylcholine synthesis, we have initiated studies of CCT from the model genetic system, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The yeast CCT gene was isolated from genomic DNA using the polymerase chain reaction and was found to encode tyrosine at position 192 instead of histidine, as originally reported. Levels of expression of yeast CCT activity in Escherichia coli or in the yeast, Pichia pastoris, were somewhat low. Expression of yeast CCT in a baculovirus system as a 6x-His-tag fusion protein was higher and was used to purify yeast CCT by a procedure that included delipidation. Kinetic characterization revealed that yeast CCT was activated approximately 20-fold by 20 microM phosphatidylcholine:oleate vesicles, a level 5-fold lower than that necessary for maximal activation of rat CCT. The k(cat) value was 31.3 s(-1) in the presence of lipid and 1.5 s(-1) in the absence of lipid. The K(m) values for the substrates CTP and phosphocholine did not change significantly upon activation by lipids; K(m) values in the presence of lipid were 0.80 mM for phosphocholine and 1.4 mM for CTP while K(m) values in the absence of lipid were 1.2 mM for phosphocholine and 0.8 mM for CTP. Activation of yeast CCT, therefore, appears to be due to an increase in the k(cat) value upon lipid binding.

Abstract
This review explores current information on the interrelationship between phospholipid biochemistry and cell biology. Phosphatidylcholine is the most abundant phospholipid and it biosynthesis has been studied extensively. The choline cytidylyltransferase regulates phosphatidylcholine production, and recent advances in our understanding of the mechanisms that govern cytidylyltransferase include the discovery of multiple isoforms and a more complete understanding of the lipid regulation of enzyme activity. Similarities between phosphatidylcholine formation and the phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylinositol biosynthetic pathways are discussed, together with current insight into control mechanisms. Membrane phospholipid doubling during cell cycle progression is a function of periodic biosynthesis and degradation. Membrane homeostasis is maintained by a phospholipase A-mediated degradation of excess phospholipid, whereas insufficient phosphatidylcholine triggers apoptosis in cells.

Abstract
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) synthesis in animal cells is generally controlled by cytidine 5'-triphosphate (CTP):phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CCT). This enzyme is amphitropic, that is, it can interconvert between a soluble inactive form and a membrane-bound active form. The membrane-binding domain of CCT is a long amphipathic alpha helix that responds to changes in the physical properties of PC-deficient membranes. Binding of this domain to membranes activates CCT by relieving an inhibitory constraint in the catalytic domain. This leads to stimulation of PC synthesis and maintenance of membrane PC content. Surprisingly, the major isoform, CCT alpha, is localized in the nucleus of many cells. Recently, a new level of its regulation has emerged with the discovery that signals that stimulate PC synthesis recruit CCT alpha from an inactive nuclear reservoir to a functional site on the endoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract
CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase is a major regulator of phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis. A single isoform, CCTalpha, has been studied extensively and a second isoform, CCTbeta, was recently identified. We identify and characterize a third cDNA, CCTbeta2, that differs from CCTbeta1 at the carboxyl-terminal end and is predicted to arise as a splice variant of the CCTbeta gene. Like CCTalpha, CCTbeta2 is heavily phosphorylated in vivo, in contrast to CCTbeta1. CCTbeta1 and CCTbeta2 mRNAs were differentially expressed by the human tissues examined, whereas CCTalpha was more uniformly represented. Using isoform-specific antibodies, both CCTbeta1 and CCTbeta2 localized to the endoplasmic reticulum of cells, in contrast to CCTalpha which resided in the nucleus in addition to associating with the endoplasmic reticulum. CCTbeta2 protein has enzymatic activity in vitro and was able to complement the temperature-sensitive cytidylyltransferase defect in CHO58 cells, just as CCTalpha and CCTbeta1 supporting proliferation at the nonpermissive conditions. Overexpression experiments did not reveal discrete physiological functions for the three isoforms that catalyze the same biochemical reaction; however, the differential cellular localization and tissue-specific distribution suggest that CCTbeta1 and CCTbeta2 may play a role that is distinct from ubiquitously expressed CCTalpha.

Abstract
The transition from quiescence (G(0)) into the cell division cycle is marked by accelerated phospholipid turnover. We examined the rates of phosphatidylcholine (PC) synthesis and the activity, membrane affinity, and intracellular localization of the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of PC, CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CT) during this transition. The addition of serum to quiescent IIC9 fibroblasts resulted in a wave of PC synthesis beginning at approximately 10 min, peaking at approximately 3 h with a >10-fold increase in rate, and declining to near basal rates by 10 h. CT activity, monitored in situ, was elevated approximately 3-fold between 1 and 2 h postserum. Neither CT mass nor its phosphorylation state changed during the surge in PC synthesis and CT activity. On the other hand, the ratio of particulate/soluble CT surged and then receded in concert with the wave of PC synthesis. During quiescence, CT was confined to the nucleus, as assessed by indirect immunofluorescence. Within 10 min after serum stimulation, a portion of the CT fluorescence appeared in the cytoplasm, where it intensified until approximately 4 h postserum. Thereafter, the cytoplasmic CT signal waned, while the nuclear signal increased, and by 8 h CT was once again predominantly nuclear. The dynamics of CT's apparent translocation in and out of the nucleus paralleled the wave of PC synthesis and the solubility changes of CT. Cytoplasmic CT co-localized with BiP, a resident endoplasmic reticulum protein, in a double labeling experiment. These data suggest that the wave of PC synthesis that accompanies the G(0) --> G(1) transition is regulated by the coordinated changes in CT activity, membrane affinity, and intracellular distribution. We describe for the first time a redistribution of CT from the nucleus to the ER that correlates with an activation of the enzyme. We propose that this movement is required for the stimulation of PC synthesis during entry into the cell cycle.

Abstract
An increase of biliary lipid secretion is known to occur in the rat under sustained administration of statin-type 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl (HMG) coenzyme A (CoA) reductase inhibitors. The present study has addressed critical mechanisms of hepatic lipid synthesis and phosphatidylcholine (PC) biliary transport in the rat fed with a 0.075% pravastatin diet for 3 weeks. After treatment, biliary secretion of PC and cholesterol increased to 233% and 249% of controls, while that of bile salts was unchanged. Activity of cytidylyltransferase (CT), a major regulatory enzyme in the CDP-choline pathway of PC synthesis, was raised in both microsomal and cytosolic fractions (226% and 150% of controls), and there was an increase to 187% in the mass of active enzyme as determined by Western blot of microsomal protein using an antibody specific to CT. Cytosolic activity of choline kinase, another enzyme of the CDP-choline pathway, also increased to 175% of controls. In addition, there was an over eightfold increase in the HMG CoA reductase activity and mRNA. Thus, an increased PC and cholesterol synthetic supply to hepatocytes appeared as a basic mechanism for the biliary hypersecretion of these lipids. Notwithstanding the increased synthesis, hepatic PC content was unchanged, suggesting an enhanced transfer of this lipid into bile. Indeed, there was a sevenfold increase of multidrug resistance gene 2 (mdr2) gene mRNA coding for a main PC canalicular translocase. Thus, hypersecretion of biliary PC in the model studied can be explained by an up-regulation of mdr2 gene transcription and its P-glycoprotein product mediating the biliary transfer of PC supplied by an increased biosynthesis.

Abstract
To probe the mechanism of lipid activation of CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CCTalpha), we have characterized a catalytic fragment of the enzyme that lacks the membrane-binding segment. The kinetic properties of the purified fragment, CCTalpha236, were characterized, as well as the effects of expressing the fragment in cultured cells. CCTalpha236 was truncated after residue 236, which corresponds to the end of the highly conserved catalytic domain. The activity of purified CCTalpha236 was independent of lipids and about 50-fold higher than the activity of wild-type CCTalpha assayed in the absence of lipids, supporting a model in which the membrane-binding segment functions as an inhibitor of the catalytic domain. The kcat/Km values for CCTalpha236 were only slightly lower than those for lipid-activated CCTalpha. The importance of the membrane-binding segment in vivo was tested by expression of CCTalpha236 in CHO58 cells, a cell line that is temperature-sensitive for growth and CCTalpha activity. Expression of wild-type CCTalpha in these cells complemented the defective growth phenotype when the cells were cultured in complete or delipidated fetal bovine serum. Expression of CCTalpha236, however, did not complement the growth phenotype in the absence of serum lipids. These cells were capable of making phosphatidylcholine in the delipidated medium, so the inability of the cells to grow was not due to defective phosphatidylcholine synthesis. Supplementation of the delipidated medium with an unsaturated fatty acid allowed growth of CHO58 cells expressing CCTalpha236. These results indicate that the membrane-binding segment of CCTalpha has an important role in cellular lipid metabolism.

Abstract
A key regulatory enzyme in phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis, CTP:cholinephosphate cytidylyltransferase (CCT), catalyzes the formation of CDP-choline. This review discusses the essential features of CCT and addresses intriguing new insights into the catalytic and regulatory properties of this complex enzyme. Characterization of a lipid-binding segment in rat CCT is described and the role of lipids in CCT activation is discussed. An analysis of the phosphorylation domain is presented and possible physiological rationales for reversible phosphorylation of CCT are discussed. The nuclear localization of CCT is examined in the context of multiple CCT isoforms, as is recent evidence establishing a potential link between CCT activity and vesicular transport.

Abstract
CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CT) is a rate-limiting and complexly regulated enzyme in phosphatidylcholine (PC) biosynthesis and is important in the adaptation of macrophages to cholesterol loading. The goal of the present study was to use transgenesis to study the CT reaction in differentiated macrophages in vivo. We successfully created macrophage-targeted transgenic mice that overexpress a truncated form of CT, called CT-314. Sonicated homogenates of peritoneal macrophages overexpressing CT-314 protein demonstrated a two-fold increase in CT activity in vitro compared with homogenates from nontransgenic macrophages. CT-314 macrophages, however, demonstrated no increase in CT activity or PC biosynthesis in vivo. This finding could not be explained simply by intracellular mistargeting of CT-314, by the inability of CT-314 to associate with cellular membranes, or by substrate limitation. To further probe the mechanism, an in vitro assay using intact nuclei was developed in an attempt to preserve interactions between CT, which is primarily a nuclear enzyme in macrophages, and other nuclear molecules. This intact-nuclei assay faithfully reproduced the situation observed in living macrophages, namely, no significant increase in CT activity despite increased CT-314 protein. In contrast, CT activity in sonicated nuclei from CT-314 macrophages was substantially higher than that from nontransgenic macrophages. Thus, a sonication-sensitive interaction between excess CT and one or more nuclear molecules may be responsible for the limitation of CT activity in CT-314 macrophages. These data represent the first report of a CT transgenic animal and the first study of a differentiated cell type with excess CT.

Abstract
Signal transduction can involve the activation of protein kinase C (PKC) and the subsequent phosphorylation of protein substrates, including myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS). Previously we showed that stimulation of phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) synthesis by PMA in SK-N-MC human neuroblastoma cells required overexpression of MARCKS, whereas PKCalpha alone was insufficient. We have now investigated the role of MARCKS in PMA-stimulated PtdCho hydrolysis by phospholipase D (PLD). Overexpression of MARCKS enhanced PLD activity 1.3-2.5-fold compared with vector controls in unstimulated cells, and 3-4-fold in cells stimulated with 100 nM PMA. PMA-stimulated PLD activity was blocked by the PKC inhibitor bisindolylmaleimide. Activation of PLD by PMA was linear with time to 60 min, whereas stimulation of PtdCho synthesis by PMA in clones overexpressing MARCKS was observed after a 15 min time lag, suggesting that the hydrolysis of PtdCho by PLD preceded synthesis. The formation of phosphatidylbutanol by PLD was greatest when PtdCho was the predominantly labelled phospholipid, indicating that PtdCho was the preferred, but not the only, phospholipid substrate for PLD. Cells overexpressing MARCKS had 2-fold higher levels of PKCalpha than in vector control cells analysed by Western blot analysis; levels of PKCbeta and PLD were similar in all clones. The loss of both MARCKS and PKCalpha expression at higher subcultures of the clones was paralleled by the loss of stimulation of PLD activity and PtdCho synthesis by PMA. Our results show that MARCKS is an essential link in the PKC-mediated activation of PtdCho-specific PLD in these cells and that the stimulation of PtdCho synthesis by PMA is a secondary response.

CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CCT) is a key regulator of phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis, and only a single isoform of this enzyme, CCTalpha, is known. We identified and sequenced a human cDNA that encoded a distinct CCT isoform, called CCTbeta, that is derived from a gene different from that encoding CCTalpha. CCTbeta transcripts were detected in human adult and fetal tissues, and very high transcript levels were found in placenta and testis. CCTbeta and CCTalpha proteins share highly related, but not identical, catalytic domains followed by three amphipathic helical repeats. Like CCTalpha, CCTbeta required the presence of lipid regulators for maximum catalytic activity. The amino terminus of CCTbeta bears no resemblance to the amino terminus of CCTalpha, and CCTbeta protein was localized to the cytoplasm as detected by indirect immunofluorescent microscopy. Whereas CCTalpha activity is regulated by reversible phosphorylation, CCTbeta lacks most of the corresponding carboxyl-terminal domain and contained only 3 potential phosphorylation sites of the 16 identified in CCTalpha. Transfection of COS-7 cells with a CCTbeta expression construct led to the overexpression of CCT activity, the accumulation of cellular CDP-choline, and enhanced radiolabeling of phosphatidylcholine. CCTbeta protein was posttranslationally modified in COS-7 cells, resulting in slower migration during polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Expression of CCTbeta/CCTalpha chimeric proteins showed that the amino-terminal portion of CCTbeta was required for posttranslational modification. These data demonstrate that a second, distinct CCT enzyme is expressed in human tissues and provides another mechanism by which cells regulate phosphatidylcholine production.

Abstract
The key regulatory enzyme of phosphatidylcholine (PC) synthesis, CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CT), is known to be activated in vitro by translocation from soluble to particulate fractions of the cell. In the present study the periparturient cow was chosen as a model to investigate whether translocation of CT can contribute to the regulation of PC synthesis in vivo. Between parturition and 1.5 weeks post-partum, the cytosolic CT activity in the liver of the adult animal decreased 1.9-fold, and this correlated with a 1.8-fold increase in microsomal CT activity. At that time, microsomal CT activity started to decline again whereas the cytosolic activity rose concomitantly until both activities reached their pre-partum values at 8 weeks post-partum. The activities of soluble and membrane-bound CTP:phosphoethanolamine cytidylyltransferase (ET), the analogous enzyme in the CDP-ethanolamine pathway, did not change significantly throughout this period. Whereas hepatic PC concentrations declined until about 2 weeks post-partum and thereafter gradually returned to pre-partum levels, the PC levels in very-low-density-lipoproteins, started to rise 2 weeks after the partus reaching a maximum of 219% of the original value at 8 weeks post-partum. These results strongly suggest that there is a reversible redistribution of CT between cytosol and membranes in a physiologically relevant animal model, supporting the concept that translocation of CT is occurring in vivo.

Abstract
Hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) can provide lipid second messengers involved in sustained signal transduction. Four neural-derived cell lines (C6 rat glioma; N1E-115 mouse and SK-N-MC and SK-N-SH human neuroblastoma) express different protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms and differentially respond to 4beta-12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (beta-TPA)-stimulation of PtdCho synthesis. We examined involvement of PLD and PKC in the hydrolysis and resynthesis of PtdCho and phosphatidylethanolamine stimulated by beta-TPA, bryostatin (a non-phorbol PKC activator) and oleic acid (18:1n-9) in the four cell lines. beta-TPA or bryostatin produced similar enhancement of [3H]Cho incorporation, loss of stimulated synthesis after down regulation of PKC, and activation of PLD. In C6 cells, staurosporine (STS) and bis-indolylmaleimide (BIM) only partially inhibited basal and beta-TPA-stimulated PLD activity measured as choline or ethanolamine release; phosphatidylbutanol formation after prelabeling with [9,10-3H]18:1n-9, [9,10-3H]myristic acid (14:0), [1-14C]eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3) or 1-O-[alkyl-1', 2-3H]-sn-glyceryl-3-phosphorylcholine gave similar results. STS at >200 nM activated PLD in the presence or absence of beta-TPA. In SK-N-SH cells where PtdCho synthesis was stimulated by beta-TPA or bryostatin, no effect of these agents on PLD was observed. 18:1n-9 stimulated PtdCho synthesis and, to a lesser extent, hydrolysis by PLD both with and without beta-TPA present. Fatty acids had no effect on PKC activities and down regulation of PKC with beta-TPA enhanced fatty acid stimulation of PtdCho synthesis. Thus, activation of PLD hydrolysis preceding resynthesis is involved in the stimulatory effects of beta-TPA on PtdCho synthesis in some but not all of these neural derived cells. Further, PLD hydrolysis of PtdCho and PtdEtn appear to have differing aspects of regulation. Fatty acid regulation of PtdCho synthesis occurs independent of PKC activation. Accordingly, regulation of membrane phospholipid degradation and resynthesis in association with lipid second messenger generation can involve a complex interplay of PLD, PKC, and fatty acids.

Abstract
CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CCT) catalyzes the synthesis of CDP-choline and is regulatory for phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis. This review focuses on recent developments in understanding the catalytic and regulatory mechanisms of this enzyme. Evidence for the nuclear localization of the enzyme is discussed, as well as evidence suggesting cytoplasmic localization. A comparison of the catalytic domains of CCTs from a wide variety of organisms is presented, highlighting a large number of completely conserved residues. Work implying a role for the conserved HXGH sequence in catalysis is described. The membrane-binding domain in rat CCT has been defined, and the role of lipids in activating the enzyme is discussed. The identification of the phosphorylation domain is described, as well as approaches to understand the role of phosphorylation in enzyme activity. Other possible control mechanisms such as enzyme degradation and gene expression are presented.

Abstract
CTP-phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CT) is a key regulatory enzyme in the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine (PC) in many cells. Enzyme-membrane interactions appear to play an important role in CT activation. A putative membrane-binding domain appears to be located between residues 236 and 293 from the N-terminus. To map the membrane-binding domain more precisely, glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins were prepared that contained deletions of various domains in this putative lipid-binding region. The fusion proteins were assessed for their binding of [3H]PC/oleic acid vesicles. Fusion proteins encompassing residues 267-277 bound to PC/oleic acid vesicles, whereas fragments lacking this region exhibited no specific binding to the lipid vesicles. The membrane-binding characteristics of the CT fusion proteins were also examined using intact lung microsomes. Only fragments encompassing residues 267-277 competed with full-length 125I-labelled CT, expressed in recombinant Sf9 insect cells, for microsomal membrane binding. To investigate the role of this region in PC biosynthesis, A549 and L2 cells were transfected with cDNA for CT mutants under the control of a glucocorticoid-inducible long terminal repeat (LTR) promoter. Induction of CT mutants containing residues 267-277 in transfectants resulted in reduced PC synthesis. The decrease in PC synthesis was accompanied by a shift in endogenous CT activity from the particulate to the soluble fraction. Expression of CT mutants lacking this region in A549 and L2 cells did not affect PC formation and subcellular distribution of CT activity. These results suggest that the CT region located between residues 267 and 277 from the N-terminus is required for the interaction of CT with membranes.
