Abstract
Oxysterol-binding protein-related proteins (ORPs) play key roles in the distribution of lipids in eukaryotic cells by exchanging sterol or phosphatidylserine for PI4P between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and other cell regions. However, it is unclear how their exchange capacity is coupled to PI4P metabolism. To address this question quantitatively, we analyze the activity of a representative ORP, Osh4p, in an ER/Golgi interface reconstituted with ER- and Golgi-mimetic membranes functionalized with PI4P phosphatase Sac1p and phosphatidylinositol (PI) 4-kinase, respectively. Using real-time assays, we demonstrate that upon adenosine triphosphate (ATP) addition, Osh4p creates a sterol gradient between these membranes, relying on the spatially distant synthesis and hydrolysis of PI4P, and quantify how much PI4P is needed for this process. Then, we develop a quantitatively accurate kinetic model, validated by our data, and extrapolate this to estimate to what extent PI4P metabolism can drive ORP-mediated sterol transfer in cells. Finally, we show that Sec14p can support PI4P metabolism and Osh4p activity by transferring PI between membranes. This study establishes that PI4P synthesis drives ORP-mediated lipid exchange and that ATP energy is needed to generate intermembrane lipid gradients. Furthermore, it defines to what extent ORPs can distribute lipids in the cell and reassesses the role of PI-transfer proteins in PI4P metabolism.

Abstract
Lipid distribution in the eukaryotic cells depends on tight couplings between lipid transfer and lipid metabolism. Yet these couplings remain poorly described. Notably, it is unclear to what extent lipid exchangers of the OSBP-related proteins (ORPs) family, coupled to PI(4)P metabolism, contribute to the formation of sterol and phosphatidylserine gradient between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and other cell regions. To address this question, we have examined in vitro the activity of Osh4p, a representative ORP, between Golgi mimetic membranes in which PI(4)P is produced by a PI 4-kinase and ER mimetic membranes in which PI(4)P is hydrolyzed by the phosphatase Sac1p. Using quantitative, real-time assays, we demonstrate that Osh4p creates a sterol gradient between the two membranes by sterol/PI(4)P exchange as soon as a PI(4)P gradient is generated at this interface following ATP addition, and define how much PI(4)P must be synthesized for this process. Then, using a kinetic model supported by our in vitro data, we estimate to what extent PI(4)P metabolism can drive lipid transfer in cells. Finally, we show that Sec14p, by transferring phosphatidylinositol between membranes, can support the synthesis of PI(4)P and the creation of a sterol gradient by Osh4p. These results indicate to what extent ORPs, under the control of PI(4)P metabolism, can distribute lipids in the cell.

Yeast Sphingolipid-Enriched Domains and Membrane Compartments in the Absence of Mannosyldiinositolphosphorylceramide. Biomolecules 2020; 10:biom10060871. [PMID: 32517183 PMCID: PMC7356636 DOI: 10.3390/biom10060871] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2020] [Revised: 05/25/2020] [Accepted: 06/02/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
The relevance of mannosyldiinositolphosphorylceramide [M(IP)2C] synthesis, the terminal complex sphingolipid class in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, for the lateral organization of the plasma membrane, and in particular for sphingolipid-enriched gel domains, was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy and microscopy. We also addressed how changing the complex sphingolipid profile in the plasma membrane could influence the membrane compartments (MC) containing either the arginine/ H+ symporter Can1p (MCC) or the proton ATPase Pma1p (MCP). To achieve these goals, wild-type (wt) and ipt1Δ cells, which are unable to synthesize M(IP)2C accumulating mannosylinositolphosphorylceramide (MIPC), were compared. Living cells, isolated plasma membrane and giant unilamellar vesicles reconstituted from plasma membrane lipids were labelled with various fluorescent membrane probes that report the presence and organization of distinct lipid domains, global order, and dielectric properties. Can1p and Pma1p were tagged with GFP and mRFP, respectively, in both yeast strains, to evaluate their lateral organization using confocal fluorescence intensity and fluorescence lifetime imaging. The results show that IPT1 deletion strongly affects the rigidity of gel domains but not their relative abundance, whereas no significant alterations could be perceived in ergosterol-enriched domains. Moreover, in these cells lacking M(IP)2C, a clear alteration in Pma1p membrane distribution, but no significant changes in Can1p distribution, were observed. Thus, this work reinforces the notion that sphingolipid-enriched domains distinct from ergosterol-enriched regions are present in the S. cerevisiae plasma membrane and suggests that M(IP)2C is important for a proper hydrophobic chain packing of sphingolipids in the gel domains of wt cells. Furthermore, our results strongly support the involvement of sphingolipid domains in the formation and stability of the MCP, possibly being enriched in this compartment.

Abstract
The venom of each Conus species consists of a diverse array of neurophysiologically active peptides, which are mostly unique to the examined species. In this study, we performed high-throughput transcriptome sequencing to extract and analyze putative conotoxin transcripts from the venom ducts of 3 vermivorous cone snails (C. caracteristicus, C. generalis, and C. quercinus), which are resident in offshore waters of the South China Sea. In total, 118, 61, and 48 putative conotoxins (across 22 superfamilies) were identified from the 3 Conus species, respectively; most of them are novel, and some possess new cysteine patterns. Interestingly, a series of 45 unassigned conotoxins presented with a new framework of C-C-C-C-C-C, and their mature regions were sufficiently distinct from any other known conotoxins, most likely representing a new superfamily. O- and M-superfamily conotoxins were the most abundant in transcript number and transcription level, suggesting their critical roles in the venom functions of these vermivorous cone snails. In addition, we identified numerous functional proteins with potential involvement in the biosynthesis, modification, and delivery process of conotoxins, which may shed light on the fundamental mechanisms for the generation of these important conotoxins within the venom duct of cone snails.

Abstract
The lipid phosphatase Sac1 dephosphorylates phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P), thereby holding levels of this crucial membrane signaling molecule in check. Sac1 regulates multiple cellular processes, including cytoskeletal organization, membrane trafficking and cell signaling. Here, we review the structure and regulation of Sac1, its roles in cell signaling and development and its links to health and disease. Remarkably, many of the diverse roles attributed to Sac1 can be explained by the recent discovery of its requirement at membrane contact sites, where its consumption of PI4P is proposed to drive interorganelle transfer of other cellular lipids, thereby promoting normal lipid homeostasis within cells.

Abstract
We present a model-based method, designated Inverse Metabolic Control Analysis (IMCA), which can be used in conjunction with classical Metabolic Control Analysis for the analysis and design of cellular metabolism. We demonstrate the capabilities of the method by first developing a comprehensively curated kinetic model of sphingolipid biosynthesis in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Next we apply IMCA using the model and integrating lipidomics data. The combinatorial complexity of the synthesis of sphingolipid molecules, along with the operational complexity of the participating enzymes of the pathway, presents an excellent case study for testing the capabilities of the IMCA. The exceptional agreement of the predictions of the method with genome-wide data highlights the importance and value of a comprehensive and consistent engineering approach for the development of such methods and models. Based on the analysis, we identified the class of enzymes regulating the distribution of sphingolipids among species and hydroxylation states, with the D-phospholipase SPO14 being one of the most prominent. The method and the applications presented here can be used for a broader, model-based inverse metabolic engineering approach.

Abstract
Sec2p is phosphorylated by the redundant casein kinases Yck1p and Yck2p. This promotes the interaction of Sec2p with the downstream effector, Sec15p, and contributes to Sec2p localization and function. Phosphorylation requires prior association of Sec2p with vesicles and reduction of the inhibitory Golgi lipid PI(4)P from the vesicle membrane. Sec2p is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor that activates Sec4p, the final Rab GTPase of the yeast secretory pathway. Sec2p is recruited to secretory vesicles by the upstream Rab Ypt32p acting in concert with phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PI(4)P). Sec2p also binds to the Sec4p effector Sec15p, yet Ypt32p and Sec15p compete against each other for binding to Sec2p. We report here that the redundant casein kinases Yck1p and Yck2p phosphorylate sites within the Ypt32p/Sec15p binding region and in doing so promote binding to Sec15p and inhibit binding to Ypt32p. We show that Yck2p binds to the autoinhibitory domain of Sec2p, adjacent to the PI(4)P binding site, and that addition of PI(4)P inhibits Sec2p phosphorylation by Yck2p. Loss of Yck1p and Yck2p function leads to accumulation of an intracellular pool of the secreted glucanase Bgl2p, as well as to accumulation of Golgi-related structures in the cytoplasm. We propose that Sec2p is phosphorylated after it has been recruited to secretory vesicles and the level of PI(4)P has been reduced. This promotes Sec2p function by stimulating its interaction with Sec15p. Finally, Sec2p is dephosphorylated very late in the exocytic reaction to facilitate recycling.

Abstract
The protein cargo transported by specific types of vesicles largely defines the different secretory trafficking pathways operating within cells. However, mole per mole the most abundant cargo contained within transport vesicles is not protein, but lipid. Taking a "lipid-centric" point-of-view, we examine the importance of lipid signaling, membrane lipid organization and lipid metabolism for vesicle transport during exocytosis in budding yeast. In fact, the essential requirement for some exocytosis regulatory proteins can be bypassed by making simple manipulations of the lipids involved. During polarized exocytosis the sequential steps required to generate post-Golgi vesicles and target them to the plasma membrane (PM) involves the interplay of several types of lipids that are coordinately linked through PI4P metabolism and signaling. In turn, PI4P levels are regulated by PI4P kinases, the Sac1p PI4P phosphatase and the yeast Osh proteins, which are homologs of mammalian oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP). Together these regulators integrate the transitional steps required for vesicle maturation directly through changes in lipid composition and organization.

Abstract
Lipids are unevenly distributed within and between cell membranes, thus defining organelle identity. Such distribution relies on local metabolic branches and mechanisms that move lipids. These processes are regulated by feedback mechanisms that decipher topographical information in organelle membranes and then regulate lipid levels or flows. In the endoplasmic reticulum, the major lipid source, transcriptional regulators and enzymes sense changes in membrane features to modulate lipid production. At the Golgi apparatus, lipid-synthesizing, lipid-flippase, and lipid-transport proteins (LTPs) collaborate to control lipid balance and distribution within the membrane to guarantee remodeling processes crucial for vesicular trafficking. Open questions exist regarding LTPs, which are thought to be lipid sensors that regulate lipid synthesis or carriers that transfer lipids between organelles across long distances or in contact sites. A novel model is that LTPs, by exchanging two different lipids, exploit one lipid gradient between two distinct membranes to build a second lipid gradient.

Abstract
Targeting and retention of resident integral membrane proteins of the Golgi apparatus underly the function of the Golgi in glycoprotein and glycolipid processing and sorting. In yeast, steady-state Golgi localization of multiple mannosyltransferases requires recognition of their cytosolic domains by the peripheral Golgi membrane protein Vps74, an orthologue of human GOLPH3/GPP34/GMx33/MIDAS (mitochondrial DNA absence sensitive factor). We show that targeting of Vps74 and GOLPH3 to the Golgi apparatus requires ongoing synthesis of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 4-phosphate (PtdIns4P) by the Pik1 PtdIns 4-kinase and that modulation of the levels and cellular location of PtdIns4P leads to mislocalization of these proteins. Vps74 and GOLPH3 bind specifically to PtdIns4P, and a sulfate ion in a crystal structure of GOLPH3 indicates a possible phosphoinositide-binding site that is conserved in Vps74. Alterations in this site abolish phosphoinositide binding in vitro and Vps74 function in vivo. These results implicate Pik1 signaling in retention of Golgi-resident proteins via Vps74 and show that GOLPH3 family proteins are effectors of Golgi PtdIns 4-kinases.

Abstract
The wolf spider Lycosa singoriensis is a hunting spider with a widespread distribution in northwest China. The venom gland of spiders, which is a very specialized secretory tissue, can secrete abundant and complex toxin components. To extensively examine the transcripts expressed in the venom glands of L. singoriensis, we generated 833 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from a directional cDNA library. Toxin-like sequences account for 69.1% of these ESTs, 17.3% are similar to cellular transcripts and 13.6% have no significant similarity to any known sequences. Here, we identified 223 novel toxin-like sequences, which can be classified into six different superfamilies; that means a novel potential source of ligands for varied ion channels was discovered. With the aid of Gene Ontology terms and homology to eukaryotic orthologous groups, the annotation of cellular transcripts revealed some cellular processes important for the toxin secretion of venom glands including protein synthesis, protein folding, tuned post-translational processing and trafficking, etc.

Abstract
A central principle of signal transduction is the appropriate control of the process so that relevant signals can be detected with fine spatial and temporal resolution. In the case of lipid-mediated signaling, organization and metabolism of specific lipid mediators is an important aspect of such control. Herein, we review the emerging evidence regarding the roles of Sec14-like phosphatidylinositol transfer proteins (PITPs) in the action of intracellular signaling networks; particularly as these relate to membrane trafficking. Finally, we explore developing ideas regarding how Sec14-like PITPs execute biological function. As Sec14-like proteins define a protein superfamily with diverse lipid (or lipophile) binding capabilities, it is likely these under-investigated proteins will be ultimately demonstrated as a ubiquitously important set of biological regulators whose functions influence a large territory in the signaling landscape of eukaryotic cells.

Abstract
It is now well appreciated that derivatives of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) are key regulators of many cellular processes in eukaryotes. Of particular interest are phosphoinositides (mono- and polyphosphorylated adducts to the inositol ring in PtdIns), which are located at the cytoplasmic face of cellular membranes. Phosphoinositides serve both a structural and a signaling role via their recruitment of proteins that contain phosphoinositide-binding domains. Phosphoinositides also have a role as precursors of several types of second messengers for certain intracellular signaling pathways. Realization of the importance of phosphoinositides has brought increased attention to characterization of the enzymes that regulate their synthesis, interconversion, and turnover. Here we review the current state of our knowledge about the properties and regulation of the ATP-dependent lipid kinases responsible for synthesis of phosphoinositides and also the additional temporal and spatial controls exerted by the phosphatases and a phospholipase that act on phosphoinositides in yeast.

Abstract
Yeast Sec14p acts as a phosphatidylinositol/phosphatidylcholine-transfer protein in vitro. In vivo, it is essential in promoting Golgi secretory function. Products of five genes named SFH1–SFH5 (Sec Fourteen Homologues 1–5) exhibit significant sequence homology to Sec14p and together they form the Sec14p family of lipid-transfer proteins. It is a diverse group of proteins with distinct subcellular localizations and varied physiological functions related to lipid metabolism and membrane trafficking.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide-signaling lipids function in diverse cellular pathways. Dynamic changes in the levels of these signaling lipids regulate multiple processes. In particular, when Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells are exposed to hyperosmotic shock, PI3,5P2 (phosphatidylinositol [PI] 3,5-bisphosphate) levels transiently increase 20-fold. This causes the vacuole to undergo multiple acute changes. Control of PI3,5P2 levels occurs through regulation of both its synthesis and turnover. Synthesis is catalyzed by the PI3P 5-kinase Fab1p, and turnover is catalyzed by the PI3,5P2 5-phosphatase Fig4p. In this study, we show that two putative Fab1p activators, Vac7p and Vac14p, independently regulate Fab1p activity. Although Vac7p only regulates Fab1p, surprisingly, we find that Vac14 regulates both Fab1p and Fig4p. Moreover, Fig4p itself functions in both PI3,5P2 synthesis and turnover. In both the absence and presence of Vac7p, the Vac14p-Fig4p complex controls the hyperosmotic shock-induced increase in PI3,5P2 levels. These findings suggest that the dynamic changes in PI3,5P2 are controlled through a tight coupling of synthesis and turnover.

Abstract
In the present study we describe the isolation and functional analysis of a sphingolipid biosynthetic gene, IPT1, of Candida albicans. The functional consequence of the disruption of both alleles of IPT1 was confirmed by mass analysis of its sphingolipid composition. The disruption of both alleles or a single allele of IPT1 did not lead to any change in growth phenotype or total sphingolipid, ergosterol, or phospholipid content of the mutant cells. The loss of mannosyl diinositol diphosphoceramide [M(IP)(2)C] in the ipt1 disruptant, however, resulted in increased sensitivity to drugs like 4-nitroquinoline oxide, terbinafine, o-phenanthroline, fluconazole, itraconazole, and ketoconazole. The increase in drug susceptibilities of ipt1 cells was linked to an altered sphingolipid composition, which appeared to be due to the impaired functionality of Cdr1p, a major drug efflux pump of C. albicans that belongs to the ATP binding cassette superfamily. Our confocal and Western blotting results demonstrated that surface localization of green fluorescent protein-tagged Cdr1p was affected in ipt1 disruptant cells. Poor surface localization of Cdr1p resulted in an impaired ability to efflux fluconazole and rhodamine 6G. The effect of mannosyl inositol phosphoceramide accumulation in the ipt1 mutant and the absence of M(IP)(2)C from the ipt1 mutant on the efflux of drug substrates was very selective. The efflux of methotrexate, a specific substrate of CaMdr1p, another major efflux pump of major facilitator superfamily, remained unaffected in ipt1 mutant cells. Interestingly, changes in sphingolipid composition affected the ability of mutant cells to form proper hyphae in various media. Taken together, our results demonstrate that an altered composition of sphingolipid, which is among the major constituents of membrane rafts, affects the drug susceptibilities and morphogenesis of C. albicans.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) phosphates are involved in signal transduction, cytoskeletal organization, and membrane traffic. PtdIns 4-phosphate [PtdIns(4)P], produced in yeast by PtdIns 4-kinase (Pik1p), appears to regulate Golgi secretory function. PtdIns(4)P is also produced by dephosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2], catalyzed by one of the three yeast Sjl proteins, homologs of the mammalian synaptic vesicle-associated PtdIns(4,5)P2 5-phosphatase, synaptojanin. To determine whether Pik1p and Sjl proteins operate in the same pathway or regulate the same process, we used a genetic approach. Mutation in the PIK1 gene displays synthetic genetic interactions with deletions of individual SJL genes. Deletion of SJL3 gene is synthetically lethal with pik1ts, and deletions of SJL1 or SJL2 genes in pik1ts cells exacerbate the temperature sensitivity, neomycin sensitivity, and defect in invertase secretion. A diminished level of PtdIns(4)P and increased level of PtdIns(4,5)P2 in pik1(ts)sjl1delta and pik1(ts)sjl2delta cells, compared with pik1ts cells, indicate that PtdIns(4)P is specifically required for secretion. Collectively, our results suggest that Pik1p and the Sjl proteins coordinately function to regulate the dynamic phosphorylation-dephosphorylation of the polar heads of phosphoinositides, and this process appears to be important for membrane trafficking pathways.

Abstract
Membrane trafficking is central to construction of the cell plate during plant cytokinesis. Consequently, a detailed understanding of the process depends on the characterization of molecules that function in the formation, transport, targeting, and fusion of membrane vesicles to the developing plate, as well as those that participate in its consolidation and maturation into a fully functional partition. Here we report the initial biochemical and functional characterization of patellin1 (PATL1), a novel cell-plate-associated protein that is related in sequence to proteins involved in membrane trafficking in other eukaryotes. Analysis of the Arabidopsis genome indicated that PATL1 is one of a small family of Arabidopsis proteins, characterized by a variable N-terminal domain followed by two domains found in other membrane-trafficking proteins (Sec14 and Golgi dynamics domains). Results from immunolocalization and biochemical fractionation studies suggested that PATL1 is recruited from the cytoplasm to the expanding and maturing cell plate. In vesicle-binding assays, PATL1 bound to specific phosphoinositides, important regulators of membrane trafficking, with a preference for phosphatidylinositol(5)P, phosphatidylinositol(4,5)P(2), and phosphatidylinositol(3)P. Taken together, these findings suggest a role for PATL1 in membrane-trafficking events associated with cell-plate expansion or maturation and point to the involvement of phosphoinositides in cell-plate biogenesis.

Abstract
The endocytic pathway transports cargo from the plasma membrane to early endosomes, where certain cargoes are sorted to the late endosome/multivesicular body. Biosynthetic cargo destined for the lysosome is also trafficked through the multivesicular body. Once delivered to the multivesicular body, cargo destined for the interior of the lysosome is selectively sorted into vesicles that bud into the lumen of the multivesicular body. These vesicles are released into the lumen of the lysosome upon the fusion of the multivesicular body and lysosomal limiting membranes. The yeast protein Fab1, which catalyzes the production of phosphatidylinositol (3,5) bisphosphate [PtdIns(3,5)P2], is necessary for proper sorting of biosynthetic cargo in the multivesicular body. Utilizing an endocytosis screen, we isolated a novel allele of FAB1 that contains a point mutation in the lipid kinase domain. Characterization of this allele revealed reduced PtdIns(3,5)P2 production, altered vacuole morphology, and biosynthetic protein sorting defects. We also found that endocytosis of the plasma membrane protein Ste3 is partially blocked downstream of the internalization step, and that delivery of the dye FM4-64 to the vacuole is delayed in fab1 mutants. Additionally, Ste3 is not efficiently sorted into multivesicular body vesicles in fab1 mutants and instead localizes to the vacuolar limiting membrane. These data show that PtdIns(3,5)P2 is necessary for proper trafficking and sorting of endocytic cargo through the late endosome/multivesicular body.

Abstract
Both bacterial cyclic lipodepsipeptide syringomycin E and plant defensin DmAMP1 were shown previously to require expression of the yeast gene IPT1 for fungicidal action against Saccharomyces cerevisiae. IPT1 encodes a sphingolipid biosynthetic pathway glycotransferase that produces the terminal sphingolipid mannosyldiinositolphosphoceramide. However, when grown in half-strength potato dextrose medium, an ipt1 deletion mutant of S. cerevisiae was observed to be sensitive to syringomycin E and DmAMP1 and to produce small amounts of mannosyldiinositolphosphoceramide. These results show that the terminal sphingolipid but not IPT1 expression is required for fungicidal activity, and they suggest an IPT1-independent route for mannosyldiinositolphosphoceramide biosynthesis.

Abstract
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the SAC1 gene encodes a polyphosphoinositide phosphatase (PPIPase) that modulates the levels of phosphoinositides, which are key regulators of a number of signal transduction processes. SAC1p has been implicated in multiple cellular functions: actin cytoskeleton organization, secretory functions, inositol metabolism, ATP transport, and multiple-drug sensitivity. Here, we describe the characterization of three genes in Arabidopsis thaliana, AtSAC1a, AtSAC1b, and AtSAC1c, encoding proteins similar to those of yeast SAC1p. We demonstrated that the three AtSAC1 proteins are functional homologs of the yeast SAC1p because they can rescue the cold-sensitive and inositol auxotroph yeast sac1-null mutant strain. The fact that Arabidopsis and yeast SAC1 genes derived from a common ancestor suggests that this plant multigenic family is involved in the phosphoinositide pathway and in a range of cellular functions similar to those in yeast. Using GFP fusion experiments, we demonstrate that the three AtSAC1 proteins are targeted to the endoplasmic reticulum. Their expression patterns are overlapping, with at least two members expressed in each organ. Remarkably, AtSAC1 genes are not expressed during seed development, and therefore additional phosphatases are required to control phosphoinositide levels in seeds.

Abstract
Polarized deposition of chitin at the bud neck is essential for cell separation in yeast. Chitin septum biogenesis is catalyzed by two distinct chitin synthase activities encoded by the CHS2 and CHS3 genes. The phosphoinositide phosphatase Sac1p is required for proper trafficking of the Chs3p chitin synthase. sac1 mutants also display a severe synthetic growth defect, with mutations in the SLT2 gene which encodes a MAP kinase involved in cell integrity. We characterized the defect that underlies this genetic interaction and found that sac1 Delta slt2 Delta cells arrest as large-budded cells because they fail to separate at the end of mitosis. This inability to complete cell division appears to be caused by an increased deposition of chitin at the septum area and correlates with a mislocalized accumulation of the Chs2p chitin synthase at the cell periphery. Our data therefore indicate that Sac1p and Slt2p have synergistic roles in regulating chitin septum biogenesis.

Abstract
Oxysterol binding proteins (OSBPs) comprise a large conserved family of proteins in eukaryotes. Their ubiquity notwithstanding, the functional activities of these proteins remain unknown. Kes1p, one of seven members of the yeast OSBP family, negatively regulates Golgi complex secretory functions that are dependent on the action of the major yeast phosphatidylinositol/phosphatidylcholine Sec14p. We now demonstrate that Kes1p is a peripheral membrane protein of the yeast Golgi complex, that localization to the Golgi complex is required for Kes1p function in vivo, and that targeting of Kes1p to the Golgi complex requires binding to a phosphoinositide pool generated via the action of the Pik1p, but not the Stt4p, PtdIns 4-kinase. Localization of Kes1p to yeast Golgi region also requires function of a conserved motif found in all members of the OSBP family. Finally, we present evidence to suggest that Kes1p may regulate adenosine diphosphate-ribosylation factor (ARF) function in yeast, and that it may be through altered regulation of ARF that Kes1p interfaces with Sec14p in controlling Golgi region secretory function.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate (PI[4,5]P(2)) has emerged as an important signaling molecule in the membrane for regulating vesicle exo- and endocytosis and the accompanying actin cytoskeletal rearrangements. Localization studies with GFP-tagged binding domains and antibodies provide new views of the non-uniform, dynamic distribution of PI(4,5)P(2) in membranes and its organization in raft-like domains. The targeting of phosphoinositide kinases by GTPases can coordinate the reactions of membrane fusion and fission with cytoskeletal assembly, providing a basis for membrane movement.

Abstract
Synthesis and turnover of phosphoinositides are tightly regulated processes mediated by a set of recently identified kinases and phosphatases. We analyzed the primary role of the phosphoinositide phosphatase Sac1p in Saccharomyces cerevisiae with the use of a temperature-sensitive allele of this gene. Our analysis demonstrates that inactivation of Sac1p leads to a specific increase in the cellular levels of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns(4)P), accompanied by changes in vacuole morphology and an accumulation of lipid droplets. We have found that the majority of Sac1p localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum, and this localization is crucial for the efficient turnover of PtdIns(4)P. By generating double mutant strains harboring the sac1(ts) allele and one of two temperature-sensitive PtdIns 4-kinase genes, stt4(ts) or pik1(ts), we have demonstrated that the bulk of PtdIns(4)P that accumulates in sac1 mutant cells is generated by the Stt4 PtdIns 4-kinase, and not Pik1p. Consistent with these findings, inactivation of Sac1p partially rescued defects associated with stt4(ts) but not pik1(ts) mutant cells. To analyze potential overlapping functions between Sac1p and other homologous phosphoinositide phosphatases, sac1(ts) mutant cells lacking various other synaptojanin-like phosphatases were generated. These double and triple mutants exacerbated the accumulation of intracellular phosphoinositides and caused defects in Golgi function. Together, our results demonstrate that Sac1p primarily turns over Stt4p-generated PtdIns(4)P and that the membrane localization of Sac1p is important for its function in vivo. Regulation of this PtdIns(4)P pool appears to be crucial for the maintenance of vacuole morphology, regulation of lipid storage, Golgi function, and actin cytoskeleton organization.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol transfer proteins (PITPs) are lipid binding proteins that can catalyse the transfer of phosphatidylinositol (PI) from membranes enriched in PI to PI-deficient membranes. Three soluble forms of PITP of 35--38 kDa (PITP alpha, PITP beta and rdgB beta) and two larger integral proteins of 160 kDa (rdgB alpha I and II), which contain a PITP domain, are found in mammalian cells. PITPs are intimately associated with the compartmentalised synthesis of different phosphorylated inositol lipids. PI is the primary inositol lipid that is synthesised at the endoplasmic reticulum and is further phosphorylated in distinct membrane compartments by many specific lipid kinases to generate seven phosphorylated inositol lipids which are required for both signalling and for membrane traffic. PITPs play essential roles in both signalling via phospholipase C and phosphoinositide 3-kinases and in multiple aspects of membrane traffic including regulated exocytosis and vesicle biogenesis.

Abstract
Phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine are the most abundant phospholipids in eukaryotic cells and thus have major roles in the formation and maintenance of vesicular membranes. In yeast, diacylglycerol accepts a phosphocholine moiety through a CPT1-derived cholinephosphotransferase activity to directly synthesize phosphatidylcholine. EPT1-derived activity can transfer either phosphocholine or phosphoethanolamine to diacylglcyerol in vitro, but is currently believed to primarily synthesize phosphatidylethanolamine in vivo. In this study we report that CPT1- and EPT1-derived cholinephosphotransferase activities can significantly overlap in vivo such that EPT1 can contribute to 60% of net phosphatidylcholine synthesis via the Kennedy pathway. Alterations in the level of diacylglycerol consumption through alterations in phosphatidylcholine synthesis directly correlated with the level of SEC14-dependent invertase secretion and affected cell viability. Administration of synthetic di8:0 diacylglycerol resulted in a partial rescue of cells from SEC14-mediated cell death. The addition of di8:0 diacylglycerol increased di8:0 diacylglycerol levels 20-40-fold over endogenous long-chain diacylglycerol levels. Di8:0 diacylglcyerol did not alter endogenous phospholipid metabolic pathways, nor was it converted to di8:0 phosphatidic acid.

Abstract
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae SAC1 gene was identified via independent analyses of mutations that modulate yeast actin function and alleviate the essential requirement for phosphatidylinositol transfer protein (Sec14p) activity in Golgi secretory function. The SAC1 gene product (Sac1p) is an integral membrane protein of the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi complex. Sac1p shares primary sequence homology with a subfamily of cytosolic/peripheral membrane phosphoinositide phosphatases, the synaptojanins, and these Sac1 domains define novel phosphoinositide phosphatase modules. We now report the characterization of a rat counterpart of Sac1p. Rat Sac1 is a ubiquitously expressed 65-kDa integral membrane protein of the endoplasmic reticulum that is found at particularly high levels in cerebellar Purkinje cells. Like Sac1p, rat Sac1 exhibits intrinsic phosphoinositide phosphatase activity directed toward phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate, phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate, and phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate substrates, and we identify mutant rat sac1 alleles that evoke substrate-specific defects in this enzymatic activity. Finally, rat Sac1 expression in Deltasac1 yeast strains complements a wide phenotypes associated with Sac1p insufficiency. Biochemical and in vivo data indicate that rat Sac1 phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate phosphatase activity, but not its phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate or phosphatidylinositol-3, 5-bisphosphate phosphatase activities, is essential for the heterologous complementation of Sac1p defects in vivo. Thus, yeast Sac1p and rat Sac1 are integral membrane lipid phosphatases that play evolutionary conserved roles in eukaryotic cell physiology.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol transfer proteins (PITPs) are now becoming widely recognized as intriguing proteins that participate in the coordination and coupling of phospholipid metabolism with vesicle trafficking, and in the regulation of important signaling cascades. Yet, only in one case is there a large body of evidence that speaks to the precise identities of PITP-dependent cellular reactions, and to the mechanisms by which PITPs execute function in eukaryotic cells. At present, yeast provide the most powerful system for analysis of the physiology of PITP function in vivo, and the mechanism by which this function is carried out. Here, we review the recent progress and remaining questions in the area of PITP function in yeast.

Abstract
Issues of how cells generate and maintain unique lipid compositions in distinct intracellular membrane systems remain the subject of much study. A ubiquitous class of soluble proteins capable of transporting phospholipid monomers from membrane to membrane across an aqueous milieu has been thought to define part of the mechanism by which lipids are sorted in cells. Progress in the study of these phospholipid transfer proteins (PLTPs) raises questions regarding their physiological functions in cells and the mechanisms by which these proteins execute them. It is now clear that across the eukaryotic kingdom, members of this protein family exert essential roles in the regulation of phospholipid metabolism and central aspects of phospholipid-mediated signaling. Indeed, it is now known that dysfunction of specific PLTPs defines the basis of inherited diseases in mammals, and this list is expected to grow. Phospholipid transfer proteins, their biochemical properties, and the emerging clues regarding their physiological functions are reviewed.

Abstract
Yeast phosphatidylinositol transfer protein (Sec14p) is essential for Golgi function and cell viability. We now report a characterization of five yeast SFH (Sec Fourteen Homologue) proteins that share 24-65% primary sequence identity with Sec14p. We show that Sfh1p, which shares 64% primary sequence identity with Sec14p, is nonfunctional as a Sec14p in vivo or in vitro. Yet, SFH proteins sharing low primary sequence similarity with Sec14p (i.e., Sfh2p, Sfh3p, Sfh4p, and Sfh5p) represent novel phosphatidylinositol transfer proteins (PITPs) that exhibit phosphatidylinositol- but not phosphatidylcholine-transfer activity in vitro. Moreover, increased expression of Sfh2p, Sfh4p, or Sfh5p rescues sec14-associated growth and secretory defects in a phospholipase D (PLD)-sensitive manner. Several independent lines of evidence further demonstrate that SFH PITPs are collectively required for efficient activation of PLD in vegetative cells. These include a collective requirement for SFH proteins in Sec14p-independent cell growth and in optimal activation of PLD in Sec14p-deficient cells. Consistent with these findings, Sfh2p colocalizes with PLD in endosomal compartments. The data indicate that SFH gene products cooperate with "bypass-Sec14p" mutations and PLD in a complex interaction through which yeast can adapt to loss of the essential function of Sec14p. These findings expand the physiological repertoire of PITP function in yeast and provide the first in vivo demonstration of a role for specific PITPs in stimulating activation of PLD.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides are key regulators of diverse cellular processes in eukaryotic cells. Genetic studies in yeast have advanced our understanding of how phosphoinositide-signaling pathways regulate membrane trafficking. Enzymes required for the synthesis (kinases) and turnover (phosphatases) of distinct phosphoinositides have been identified and several downstream effector molecules linked to phosphoinositide signaling have recently been characterized.

Abstract
Syringomycin E is an antifungal cyclic lipodepsinonapeptide that inhibits the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae by interaction with the plasma membrane. A screen conducted to find the yeast genes necessary for its fungicidal action identified two novel syringomycin E response genes, SYR3 and SYR4. A syr3 mutant allele was complemented by ELO2 and ELO3. These genes encode enzymes that catalyze the elongation of sphingolipid very long chain fatty acids. Tetrad analysis showed that SYR3 was ELO2. Strains with deletions of SYR3/ELO2 and ELO3 were resistant to syringomycin E, and lipid analyses of both mutants revealed shortened fatty acid chains and lower levels of sphingolipids. SYR4 was identified by Tn5 inactivation of genomic library plasmids that complemented a syr4 mutant allele. SYR4 was found to be identical to IPT1, which encodes the terminal sphingolipid biosynthetic enzyme, mannosyl-diinositolphosphoryl-ceramide synthase. Deletion Deltasyr4/ipt1 strains were viable, were resistant to syringomycin E, did not produce mannosyl-diinositolphosphoryl-ceramide, and accumulated mannosyl-inositolphosphoryl-ceramide. Accumulation of mannosyl-inositolphosphoryl-ceramide was not responsible for resistance since a temperature-sensitive secretory pathway mutant (sec14-3(ts)) accumulated this sphingolipid and was sensitive to syringomycin E. Finally, Deltacsg1/sur1 and Deltacsg2 strains defective in the transfer of mannose to inositolphosphoryl-ceramide were resistant to syringomycin E. These findings show that syringomycin E growth inhibition of yeast is promoted by the production of sphingolipids with fully elongated fatty acid chains and the mannosyl and terminal phosphorylinositol moieties of the polar head group.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides are key regulators of vesicle-mediated protein trafficking. Their roles include recruiting vesicle coat and effector proteins to the site of budding and promoting vesicle fusion. The intracellular levels of phosphoinositides and their localization to intracellular membranes are critical to their functions. An analytical procedure was developed that optimizes the recovery of radiolabeled cellular phosphoinositides. Quantitative analyses of yeast cellular phosphoinositides indicated that this approach is useful for examining the intracellular membrane phosphoinositide compositions related to trafficking phenomena. The approach will also enable investigators to determine whole-plant phosphoinositide compositions that have been difficult to achieve in the past. These analytical advances should be generally applicable to studies of phosphoinositide dynamics related to membrane trafficking in yeast, plant, and animal cells.

Abstract
The past 20 years have witnessed tremendous progress in our understanding of the molecular machinery that controls protein and membrane transport between organelles (Scheckman R, Orci L. Coat proteins and vesicle budding. Science 1996;271: 1526-1533 and Rothman JE. Mechanisms of intracellular protein transport. Nature 1994;372: 55-63.) The research efforts responsible for these impressive advances have largely focused on the identification and characterization of protein factors that participate in membrane trafficking events. The role of membranes and their lipid constituents has received considerably less attention. Indeed, until rather recently, popular models for mechanisms of membrane trafficking had relegated membrane lipids to the status of a passive platform, subject to deformation by the action of coat proteins whose polymerization and depolymerization govern vesicle budding and fusion reactions. The 1990s, and particularly its last half, has brought fundamental reappraisals of the interface of lipids and lipid metabolism in regulating intracellular membrane trafficking events. Some of the emerging themes are reviewed here.

Abstract
The SEC14 gene encodes an essential phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) transfer protein required for formation of Golgi-derived secretory vesicles in yeast. Suppressor mutations that rescue temperature-sensitive sec14 mutants provide an approach for determining the role of Sec14p in secretion. One suppressor, sac1-22, causes accumulation of PtdIns(4)P. SAC1 encodes a phosphatase that can hydrolyze PtdIns(4)P and certain other phosphoinositides. These findings suggest that PtdIns(4)P is limiting in sec14 cells and that elevation of PtdIns(4)P production can suppress the secretory defect. Correspondingly, we found that PtdIns(4)P levels were decreased significantly in sec14-3 mutants shifted to 37 degrees C and that sec14-3 cells could grow at an otherwise nonpermissive temperature (34 degrees C) when carrying a plasmid overexpressing PIK1, encoding one of two essential PtdIns 4-kinases. This effect is specific because overexpression of the other PtdIns 4-kinase gene (STT4) or a PtdIns 3-kinase gene (VPS34) did not rescue sec14-3 cells. To further address Pik1p function in secretion, two different pik1(ts) mutants were examined. Upon shift to restrictive temperature (37 degrees C), the PtdIns(4)P levels dropped by about 60% in both pik1(ts) strains within 1 h. During the same period, cells displayed a reduction (40-50%) in release of a secreted enzyme (invertase). However, similar treatment did not effect maturation of a vacuolar enzyme (carboxypeptidase Y). These findings indicate that, first, PtdIns(4)P limitation is a major contributing factor to the secretory defect in sec14 cells; second, Sec14p function is coupled to the action of Pik1p, and; third, PtdIns(4)P has an important role in the Golgi-to-plasma membrane stage of secretion.

Abstract
In this review, we have discussed recent progress in the study of the regulation that controls phospholipid metabolism in S. cerevisiae. This regulation occurs on multiple levels and is tightly integrated with a large number of other cellular processes and related metabolic and signal transduction pathways. Progress in deciphering this complex regulation has been very rapid in the last few years, aided by the availability of the sequence of the entire Saccharomyces genome. The assignment of functions to the remaining unassigned open reading frames, as well as ascertainment of remaining gene-enzyme relationships in phospholipid biosynthesis in yeast, promises to provide detailed understanding of the genetic regulation of a crucial area of metabolism in a key eukaryotic model system. Since the processes of lipid metabolism, secretion, and signal transduction show fundamental similarities in all eukaryotes, the dissection of this regulation in yeast promises to have wide application to our understanding of metabolic control in all eukaryotes.

Abstract
SacIp dysfunction results in bypass of the requirement for phosphatidylinositol transfer protein (Sec14p) function in yeast Golgi processes. This effect is accompanied by alterations in inositol phospholipid metabolism and inositol auxotrophy. Elucidation of how sac1 mutants effect "bypass Sec14p" will provide insights into Sec14p function in vivo. We now report that, in addition to a dramatic accumulation of phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate, sac1 mutants also exhibit a specific acceleration of phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis via the CDP-choline pathway. This phosphatidylcholine metabolic phenotype is sensitive to the two physiological challenges that abolish bypass Sec14p in sac1 strains; i.e. phospholipase D inactivation and expression of bacterial diacylglycerol (DAG) kinase. Moreover, we demonstrate that accumulation of phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate in sac1 mutants is insufficient to effect bypass Sec14p. These data support a model in which phospholipase D activity contributes to generation of DAG that, in turn, effects bypass Sec14p. A significant fate for this DAG is consumption by the CDP-choline pathway. Finally, we determine that CDP-choline pathway activity contributes to the inositol auxotrophy of sac1 strains in a novel manner that does not involve obvious defects in transcriptional expression of the INO1 gene.
