Abstract
Coordination of mitotic exit with chromosome segregation is key for successful mitosis. Mitotic exit in budding yeast is executed by the mitotic exit network (MEN), which is negatively regulated by the spindle position checkpoint (SPOC). SPOC kinase Kin4 is crucial for SPOC activation in response to spindle positioning defects. Here, we report that the lysosomal signalling lipid phosphatidylinositol-3,5-bisphosphate (PI3,5P2) has an unanticipated role in the timely execution of mitotic exit. We show that the lack of PI3,5P2 causes a delay in mitotic exit, whereas elevated levels of PI3,5P2 accelerates mitotic exit in mitotic exit defective cells. Our data indicate that PI3,5P2 promotes mitotic exit in part through impairment of Kin4. This process is largely dependent on the known PI3,5P2 effector protein Atg18. Our work thus uncovers a novel link between PI3,5P2 and mitotic exit.

Overexpression of transient receptor potential mucolipin-2 ion channels in gliomas: role in tumor growth and progression. Oncotarget 2017; 7:43654-43668. [PMID: 27248469 PMCID: PMC5190050 DOI: 10.18632/oncotarget.9661] [Citation(s) in RCA: 47] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2016] [Accepted: 05/01/2016] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
The Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) superfamily consists of cation-selective and non-selective ion channels playing an important role both in sensory physiology and in physiopathology in several complex diseases including cancers. Among TRP family, the mucolipin (TRPML1, −2, and −3) channels represent a distinct subfamily of endosome/lysosome Ca2+ channel proteins. Loss-of-function mutations in human TRPML-1 gene cause a neurodegenerative disease, Mucolipidosis Type IV, whereas at present no pathology has been associated to human TRPML-2 channels. Herein we found that human TRPML-2 is expressed both in normal astrocytes and neural stem/progenitor cells. By quantitative RT-PCR, western blot, cytofluorimetric and immunohistochemistry analysis we also demonstrated that TRPML-2 mRNA and protein are expressed at different levels in glioma tissues and high-grade glioma cell lines of astrocytic origin. TRPML-2 mRNA and protein levels increased with the pathological grade, starting from pylocitic astrocytoma (grade I) to glioblastoma (grade IV). Moreover, by RNA interference, we demonstrated a role played by TRPML-2 in survival and proliferation of glioma cell lines. In fact, knock-down of TRPML-2 inhibited the viability, altered the cell cycle, reduced the proliferation and induced apoptotic cell death in glioma cell lines. The DNA damage and apoptosis induced by TRPML-2 loss increased Ser139 H2AX phosphorylation and induced caspase-3 activation; furthermore, knock-down of TRPML-2 in T98 and U251 glioma cell lines completely abrogated Akt and Erk1/2 phosphorylation, as compared to untreated cells. Overall, the high TRPML-2 expression in glioma cells resulted in increased survival and proliferation signaling, suggesting a pro-tumorigenic role played by TRPML-2 in glioma progression.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to determine alterations in the serum metabolites related to amino acid (AA), carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism in transition dairy cows before diagnosis of subclinical mastitis (SCM), during, and after diagnosis of disease. A subclinical mastitis case was determined as a cow having somatic cell count (SCC) > 200 000/mL of milk for two or more consecutive reports. Blood samples were collected from 100 Holstein dairy cows at five time points at -8 and -4 weeks before parturition, at the week of SCM diagnosis, and +4 and +8 weeks after parturition. Twenty healthy control cows (CON) and six cows that were diagnosed with SCM were selected for serum analysis with GC-MS. At -8 weeks a total of 13 metabolites were significantly altered in SCM cows. In addition, at the week of SCM diagnosis 17 metabolites were altered in these cows. Four weeks after parturition 10 metabolites were altered in SCM cows and at +8 weeks 11 metabolites were found to be different between the two groups. Valine (Val), serine (Ser), tyrosine (Tyr), and phenylalanine (Phe) had very good predictive abilities for SCM and could be used at -8 weeks and -4 weeks before calving. Combination of Val, isoleucine (Ile), Ser, and proline (Pro) can be used as diagnostic biomarkers of SCM during early stages of lactation at +4 to +8 weeks after parturition. In conclusion, SCM is preceded and followed by alteration in AA metabolism.

Abstract
Dynamic regulation of phosphoinositide lipids (PIPs) is crucial for diverse cellular functions, and, in neurons, PIPs regulate membrane trafficking events that control synapse function. Neurons are particularly sensitive to the levels of the low abundant PIP, phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate [PI(3,5)P2], because mutations in PI(3,5)P2-related genes are implicated in multiple neurological disorders, including epilepsy, severe neuropathy, and neurodegeneration. Despite the importance of PI(3,5)P2 for neural function, surprisingly little is known about this signaling lipid in neurons, or any cell type. Notably, the mammalian homolog of yeast vacuole segregation mutant (Vac14), a scaffold for the PI(3,5)P2 synthesis complex, is concentrated at excitatory synapses, suggesting a potential role for PI(3,5)P2 in controlling synapse function and/or plasticity. PI(3,5)P2 is generated from phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI3P) by the lipid kinase PI3P 5-kinase (PIKfyve). Here, we present methods to measure and control PI(3,5)P2 synthesis in hippocampal neurons and show that changes in neural activity dynamically regulate the levels of multiple PIPs, with PI(3,5)P2 being among the most dynamic. The levels of PI(3,5)P2 in neurons increased during two distinct forms of synaptic depression, and inhibition of PIKfyve activity prevented or reversed induction of synaptic weakening. Moreover, altering neuronal PI(3,5)P2 levels was sufficient to regulate synaptic strength bidirectionally, with enhanced synaptic function accompanying loss of PI(3,5)P2 and reduced synaptic strength following increased PI(3,5)P2 levels. Finally, inhibiting PI(3,5)P2 synthesis alters endocytosis and recycling of AMPA-type glutamate receptors (AMPARs), implicating PI(3,5)P2 dynamics in AMPAR trafficking. Together, these data identify PI(3,5)P2-dependent signaling as a regulatory pathway that is critical for activity-dependent changes in synapse strength.

Abstract
A large family of myotubularin phosphatases dephosphorylates phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate, which are known to play important roles in vesicular trafficking and autophagy. The family is composed of 16 members, and understanding their regulatory mechanisms is important to understand their functions and related genetic diseases. We prepared anti-myotubularin-related protein 6 (MTMR6) monoclonal antibody and used it to study the regulatory mechanism of MTMR6. Endogenous MTMR6 was present in the cytoplasm and was condensed in the perinuclear region in a microtubule-dependent manner. MTMR6 preferentially interacted with GDP-bound Rab1B via the GRAM domain and partly overlapped with Rab1B in the pericentrosomal and peri-Golgi regions in normal rat kidney cells. Overexpression of GDP-bound Rab1B and the reduction of Rab1B disrupted the localization of MTMR6, suggesting that Rab1B regulates the localization of MTMR6. The reduction of MTMR6 accelerated the transport of vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein in which Rab1B is involved. Furthermore, reduction of MTMR6 or Rab1B inhibited the formation of the tubular omegasome that is induced by overexpression of DFCP1 in autophagy. Our results indicate that the cellular localization of MTMR6 is regulated by Rab1B in the early secretory and autophagic pathways. We propose a new regulatory mechanism of myotubularin phosphatase by the small GTPase Rab1B.

Abstract
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4B is caused by mutations in the genes encoding either the lipid phosphatase myotubularin-related protein-2 (MTMR2) or its regulatory binding partner MTMR13/SBF2. Mtmr2 dephosphorylates PI-3-P and PI-3,5-P2 to form phosphatidylinositol and PI-5-P, respectively, while Mtmr13/Sbf2 is an enzymatically inactive member of the myotubularin protein family. We have found altered levels of the critical signalling protein AKT in mouse mutants for Mtmr2 and Mtmr13/Sbf2. Thus, we analysed the influence of Mtmr2 and Mtmr13/Sbf2 on signalling processes. We found that overexpression of Mtmr2 prevents the degradation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and leads to sustained Akt activation whereas Erk activation is not affected. Mtmr13/Sbf2 counteracts the blockage of EGFR degradation without affecting prolonged Akt activation. Our data indicate that Mtmr2 and Mtmr13/Sbf2 play critical roles in the sorting and modulation of cellular signalling which are likely to be disturbed in CMT4B.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides are important regulators of cellular homoeostasis and numerous signal-transduction pathways. One of their major features is their ability to recruit signalling proteins to membranes by direct interaction with phosphoinositide-binding modules. The distribution and dynamics of membrane phosphoinositides are therefore major determinants in the spatiotemporal control of cell signalling and membrane trafficking. However, standard biochemical approaches cannot reveal the dynamics of phosphoinositides at the single-cell level. A major technical advance has been the development of genetically encoded fluorescent phosphoinositide probes on the basis of the phosphoinositide-binding domains found in signalling proteins, such as the PH (pleckstrin homology) domain. This review describes the diverse fluorescent phosphoinositide probes available for imaging specific phosphoinositide species and how their use has improved the understanding of phosphoinositide signalling at the single-cell level.

Abstract
PIKfyve, a phosphoinositide 5-kinase synthesizing PtdIns(3,5)P₂ and PtdIns5P in a cellular context, belongs to an evolutionarily ancient gene family of PtdIns(3,5)P₂-synthesizing enzymes that, except for plants, are products of a single-copy gene across species. In the dozen years after its discovery, enormous progress has been made in characterizing the numerous PIKfyve cellular functions and the regulatory mechanisms that govern these functions. It became clear that PIKfyve does not act alone but, rather, it engages the scaffolding regulator ArPIKfyve and the phosphatase Sac3 to make a multiprotein "PAS" complex, so called for the first letters of the protein names. This complex relays antagonistic signals, one for synthesis, another for turnover of PtdIns(3,5)P₂, whose dysregulated coordination is linked to several human diseases. The physiological significance for each protein in the PAS complex is underscored by the early lethality of the mouse models with disruption in any of the three genes. This chapter summarizes our current knowledge of the diverse and complex functionality of PIKfyve and PtdIns(3,5)P₂/PtdIns5P products with particular highlights on recent discoveries of inherited or somatic mutations in PIKfyve and Sac3 linked to human disorders.

Abstract
Lowe syndrome, which is characterized by defects in the central nervous system, eyes and kidneys, is caused by mutation of the phosphoinositide 5-phosphatase OCRL1. The mechanisms by which loss of OCRL1 leads to the phenotypic manifestations of Lowe syndrome are currently unclear, in part, owing to the lack of an animal model that recapitulates the disease phenotype. Here, we describe a zebrafish model for Lowe syndrome using stable and transient suppression of OCRL1 expression. Deficiency of OCRL1, which is enriched in the brain, leads to neurological defects similar to those reported in Lowe syndrome patients, namely increased susceptibility to heat-induced seizures and cystic brain lesions. In OCRL1-deficient embryos, Akt signalling is reduced and there is both increased apoptosis and reduced proliferation, most strikingly in the neural tissue. Rescue experiments indicate that catalytic activity and binding to the vesicle coat protein clathrin are essential for OCRL1 function in these processes. Our results indicate a novel role for OCRL1 in neural development, and support a model whereby dysregulation of phosphoinositide metabolism and clathrin-mediated membrane traffic leads to the neurological symptoms of Lowe syndrome.

Abstract
S49 mouse lymphoma cells undergo apoptosis in response to the ALP (alkyl-lysophospholipid) edelfosine (1-O-octadecyl-2-O-methyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine), FasL (Fas ligand) and DNA damage. S49 cells made resistant to ALP (S49AR) are defective in sphingomyelin synthesis and ALP uptake, and also have acquired resistance to FasL and DNA damage. However, these cells can be re-sensitized following prolonged culturing in the absence of ALP. The resistant cells show sustained ERK (extracellular-signal-regulated kinase)/Akt activity, consistent with enhanced survival signalling. In search of a common mediator of the observed cross-resistance, we found that S49AR cells lacked the PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 phosphatase SHIP-1 [SH2 (Src homology 2)-domain-containing inositol phosphatase 1], a known regulator of the Akt survival pathway. Re-sensitization of the S49AR cells restored SHIP-1 expression as well as phosphoinositide and sphingomyelin levels. Knockdown of SHIP-1 mimicked the S49AR phenotype in terms of apoptosis cross-resistance, sphingomyelin deficiency and altered phosphoinositide levels. Collectively, the results of the present study suggest that SHIP-1 collaborates with sphingomyelin synthase to regulate lymphoma cell death irrespective of the nature of the apoptotic stimulus.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide (3,5)-bisphosphate [PI(3,5)P(2)] is a newly identified phosphoinositide that modulates intracellular Ca(2+) by activating ryanodine receptors (RyRs). Since the contractile state of arterial smooth muscle depends on the concentration of intracellular Ca(2+), we hypothesized that by mobilizing sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) stores PI(3,5)P(2) would increase intracellular Ca(2+) in arterial smooth muscle cells and cause vasocontraction. Using immunohistochemistry, we found that PI(3,5)P(2) was present in the mouse aorta and that exogenously applied PI(3,5)P(2) readily entered aortic smooth muscle cells. In isolated aortic smooth muscle cells, exogenous PI(3,5)P(2) elevated intracellular Ca(2+), and it also contracted aortic rings. Both the rise in intracellular Ca(2+) and the contraction caused by PI(3,5)P(2) were prevented by antagonizing RyRs, while the majority of the PI(3,5)P(2) response was intact after blockade of inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate receptors. Depletion of SR Ca(2+) stores with thapsigargin or caffeine and/or ryanodine blunted the Ca(2+) response and greatly attenuated the contraction elicited by PI(3,5)P(2). The removal of extracellular Ca(2+) or addition of verapamil to inhibit voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels reduced but did not eliminate the Ca(2+) or contractile responses to PI(3,5)P(2). We also found that PI(3,5)P(2) depolarized aortic smooth muscle cells and that LaCl(3) inhibited those aspects of the PI(3,5)P(2) response attributable to extracellular Ca(2+). Thus, full and sustained aortic contractions to PI(3,5)P(2) required the release of SR Ca(2+), probably via the activation of RyR, and also extracellular Ca(2+) entry via voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate (PI(3,5)P2) is the most recently identified phosphoinositide, and its functions have yet to be fully elucidated. Recently, members of our muscle group have shown that PI(3,5)P2 plays an important role in skeletal muscle function by altering Ca(2+) homeostasis. Therefore, we hypothesized that PI(3,5)P2 may also modulate cardiac muscle contractility by altering intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) in cardiac myocytes. We first confirmed that PI(3,5)P2 was present and increased by insulin treatment of cardiomyocytes via immunohistochemistry. To examine the acute effects of PI(3,5)P2 treatment, electrically paced left ventricular muscle strips were incubated with PI(3,5)P2. Treatment with PI(3,5)P2 increased the magnitude of isometric force, the rate of force development, and the area associated with the contractile waveforms. These enhanced contractile responses were also observed in MIP/Mtmr14(-/-) mouse hearts, which we found to have elevated levels of PI(3,5)P2. In cardiac myocytes loaded with fura-2, PI(3,5)P2 produced a robust elevation in [Ca(2+)](i). The PI(3,5)P2-induced elevation of [Ca(2+)](i) was not present in conditions free of extracellular Ca(2+) and was completely blocked by ryanodine. We investigated whether the phosphoinositide acted directly with the Ca(2+) release channels of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (ryanodine receptors; RyR2). PI(3,5)P2 increased [(3)H]ryanodine binding and increased the open probability (P(o)) of single RyR2 channels reconstituted in lipid bilayers. This strongly suggests that the phosphoinositide binds directly to the RyR2 channel. Thus, we provide inaugural evidence that PI(3,5)P2 is a powerful activator of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) release and thereby modulates cardiac contractility.

Abstract
Background Changes in gene expression enable organisms to respond to environmental stress. Levels of cellular lipid second messengers, such as the phosphoinositide PtdIns5P, change in response to a variety of stresses and can modulate the localization, conformation and activity of a number of intracellular proteins. The plant trithorax factor (ATX1) tri-methylates the lysine 4 residue of histone H3 (H3K4me3) at gene coding sequences, which positively correlates with gene transcription. Microarray analysis has identified a target gene (WRKY70) that is regulated by both ATX1 and by the exogenous addition of PtdIns5P in Arabidopsis. Interestingly, ATX1 contains a PtdIns5P interaction domain (PHD finger) and thus, phosphoinositide signaling, may link environmental stress to changes in gene transcription. Principal Findings Using the plant Arabidopsis as a model system, we demonstrate a link between PtdIns5P and the activity of the chromatin modifier ATX1 in response to dehydration stress. We show for the first time that dehydration leads to an increase in cellular PtdIns5P in Arabidopsis. The Arabidopsis homolog of myotubularin (AtMTM1) is capable of generating PtdIns5P and here, we show that AtMTM1 is essential for the induced increase in PtdIns5P upon dehydration. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the ATX1-dependent gene, WRKY70, is downregulated during dehydration and that lowered transcript levels are accompanied by a drastic reduction in H3K4me3 of its nucleosomes. We follow changes in WRKY70 nucleosomal K4 methylation as a model to study ATX1 activity at chromatin during dehydration stress. We found that during dehydration stress, the physical presence of ATX1 at the WRKY70 locus was diminished and that ATX1 depletion resulted from it being retained in the cytoplasm when PtdIns5P was elevated. The PHD of ATX1 and catalytically active AtMTM1 are required for the cytoplasmic localization of ATX1. Conclusions/Significance The novelty of the manuscript is in the discovery of a mechanistic link between a chromatin modifying activity (ATX1) and a lipid (PtdIns5P) synthesis in a signaling pathway that ultimately results in altered expression of ATX1 dependent genes downregulated in response to dehydration stress.

Abstract
While the presence of phosphoinositides in the nuclei of eukaryotes and the identity of the enzymes responsible for their metabolism have been known for some time, their functions in the nucleus are only now emerging. This is illustrated by the recent identification of effectors for nuclear phosphoinositides. Like the cytosolic phosphoinositide signaling pathway, nuclear phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI4,5P(2)) is at the center of the pathway and acts both as a messenger and as a precursor for many additional messengers. Here, recent advances in the understanding of nuclear phosphoinositide signaling and its functions are reviewed with an emphasis on PI4,5P(2) and its role in gene expression. The compartmentalization of nuclear phosphoinositide phosphates (PIP(n)) remains a mystery, but emerging evidence suggests that phosphoinositides occupy several functionally distinct compartments.

Abstract
The phosphoinositide 5-kinase (PIKfyve) is a critical enzyme for the synthesis of PtdIns(3,5)P2, that has been implicated in various trafficking events associated with the endocytic pathway. We have now directly compared the effects of siRNA-mediated knockdown of PIKfyve in HeLa cells with a specific pharmacological inhibitor of enzyme activity. Both approaches induce changes in the distribution of CI-M6PR and trans-Golgi network (TGN)-46 proteins, which cycles between endosomes and TGN, leading to their accumulation in dispersed punctae, whilst the TGN marker golgin-245 retains a perinuclear disposition. Trafficking of CD8-CI-M6PR (retromer-dependent) and CD8-Furin (retromer-independent) chimeras from the cell surface to the TGN is delayed following drug administration, as is the transport of the Shiga toxin B-subunit. siRNA knockdown of PIKfyve produced no defect in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) degradation, unless combined with knockdown of its activator molecule Vac14, suggesting that a low threshold of PtdIns(3,5)P2 is necessary and sufficient for this pathway. Accordingly pharmacological inhibition of PIKfyve results in a profound block to the lysosomal degradation of activated epidermal growth factor (EGF) and Met receptors. Immunofluorescence revealed EGF receptors to be trapped in the interior of a swollen endosomal compartment. In cells starved of amino acids, PIKfyve inhibition leads to the accumulation of the lipidated form of GFP-LC3, a marker of autophagosomal structures, which can be visualized as fluorescent punctae. We suggest that PIKfyve inhibition may render the late endosome/lysosome compartment refractory to fusion with both autophagosomes and with EGFR-containing multivesicular bodies.

Abstract
Key components of membrane trafficking and signaling machinery in eukaryotic cells are proteins that bind or synthesize phosphoinositides. PIKfyve, a product of an evolutionarily conserved single-copy gene has both these features. It binds to membrane phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns)3P and synthesizes PtdIns(3,5)P2 and PtdIns5P. Molecular functions of PIKfyve are elusive but recent advances are consistent with a key role in the course of endosomal transport. PIKfyve dysfunction induces endosome enlargement and profound cytoplasmic vacuolation, likely as a result of impaired normal endosome processing and membrane exit out of endosomes. Multicellular organisms with genetically impaired function of PIKfyve or that of the PIKfyve protein partners regulating PtdIns(3,5)P2 homeostasis display severe disorders, including embryonic/perinatal death. This review describes recent advances on PIKfyve functionality in higher eukaryotes, with particular reference to biochemical and genetic insights in PIKfyve protein partners.

Abstract
A deficiency of dietary protein or amino acids has long been known to impair immune function and increase the susceptibility of animals and humans to infectious disease. However, only in the past 15 years have the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms begun to unfold. Protein malnutrition reduces concentrations of most amino acids in plasma. Findings from recent studies indicate an important role for amino acids in immune responses by regulating: (1) the activation of T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, natural killer cells and macrophages; (2) cellular redox state, gene expression and lymphocyte proliferation; and (3) the production of antibodies, cytokines and other cytotoxic substances. Increasing evidence shows that dietary supplementation of specific amino acids to animals and humans with malnutrition and infectious disease enhances the immune status, thereby reducing morbidity and mortality. Arginine, glutamine and cysteine precursors are the best prototypes. Because of a negative impact of imbalance and antagonism among amino acids on nutrient intake and utilisation, care should be exercised in developing effective strategies of enteral or parenteral provision for maximum health benefits. Such measures should be based on knowledge about the biochemistry and physiology of amino acids, their roles in immune responses, nutritional and pathological states of individuals and expected treatment outcomes. New knowledge about the metabolism of amino acids in leucocytes is critical for the development of effective means to prevent and treat immunodeficient diseases. These nutrients hold great promise in improving health and preventing infectious diseases in animals and humans.

Abstract
Inhibitor of growth protein-2 (ING2) is a nuclear adaptor protein that can regulate p53 and histone acetylation in response to cellular stress and contains a PHD (plant homeodomain) finger that can interact with phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate (PtdIns5P). However, whether or how nuclear PtdIns5P levels are regulated in response to cellular stress or whether ING2 can sense these changes has not been demonstrated. We show that UV irradiation increases nuclear PtdIns5P levels via inhibition of the activity of the beta isoform of PtdIns5P 4-kinase (PIP4Kbeta), an enzyme that can phosphorylate and remove PtdIns5P. Inhibition of PIP4Kbeta activity occurs through the direct phosphorylation of PIP4Kbeta at Ser326 by the p38 stress-activated protein kinase. Finally, we show that changes in nuclear PtdIns5P are translated into changes in the association of ING2 with chromatin. Our data define a pathway connecting cellular stressors with changes in nuclear PtdIns5P levels and the regulation of PHD motif-containing proteins.

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
Mutations in myotubularin-related protein-2 (MTMR2) or MTMR13/set-binding factor-2 (SBF2) genes are responsible for the severe autosomal recessive hereditary neuropathies, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) types 4B1 and 4B2, both characterized by reduced nerve conduction velocities, focally folded myelin sheaths and demyelination. MTMRs form a large family of conserved dual-specific phosphatases with enzymatically active and inactive members. We show that homodimeric active Mtmr2 interacts with homodimeric inactive Sbf2 in a tetrameric complex. This association dramatically increases the enzymatic activity of the complexed Mtmr2 towards phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate. Mtmr2 and Sbf2 are considerably, but not completely, co-localized in the cellular cytoplasm. On membranes of large vesicles formed under hypo-osmotic conditions, Sbf2 favorably competes with Mtmr2 for binding sites. Our data are consistent with a model suggesting that, at a given cellular location, Mtmr2 phosphatase activity is highly regulated, being high in the Mtmr2/Sbf2 complex, moderate if Mtmr2 is not associated with Sbf2 or functionally blocked by competition through Sbf2 for membrane-binding sites.

Abstract
Polyphosphoinositides (PPIn) are low-abundance membrane phospholipids that each bind to a distinctive set of effector proteins and, thereby, regulate a characteristic suite of cellular processes. Major functions of phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(3,5)P(2)] are in membrane and protein trafficking, and in pH control in the endosome-lysosome axis. Recently identified PtdIns(3,5)P(2) effectors include a family of novel beta-propeller proteins, for which we propose the name PROPPINs [for beta-propeller(s) that binds PPIn], and possibly proteins of the epsin and CHMP (charged multi-vesicular body proteins) families. All eukaryotes, with the exception of some pathogenic protists and microsporidians, possess proteins needed for the formation, metabolism and functions of PtdIns(3,5)P(2). The importance of PtdIns(3,5)P(2) for normal cell function is underscored by recent evidence for its involvement in mammalian cell responses to insulin and for PtdIns(3,5)P(2) dysfunction in the human genetic conditions X-linked myotubular myopathy, Type-4B Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and fleck corneal dystrophy.

Abstract
Unlike yeast, where hyperosmotic stress induces a dramatic increase in phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns 3,5-P(2)) synthesis, in mammalian cells, although activating a complex array of signaling events, hyperosmotic stress fails to up-regulate PtdIns 3,5-P(2), indicating the PtdIns 3,5-P(2) pathway is not involved in mammalian osmo-protective responses. Here we report an unexpected and marked PtdIns 3,5-P(2) increase in response to hyperosmotic stress in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Because this effect was not observed in the precursor preadipocytes, a specific role during acquisition of the adipocyte phenotype and transition into insulin-responsive cells could be suggested. However, acute insulin action did not result in a measurable PtdIns 3,5-P(2) rise, indicating the PtdIns 3,5-P(2) pathway is a specific hyperosmotically activated signaling cascade selectively operating in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Hyperosmolarity activates different components of several kinase cascades, including p38 mitogen-activated protein and tyrosine kinases, but these appear to be separate from the activated PtdIns 3,5-P(2) pathway. Because PtdIns 3,5-P(2) is primarily produced by PIKfyve-catalyzed synthesis and requires the upstream activator hVac14 (called herein ArPIKfyve) that physically associates with and activates PIKfyve, we examined the contribution of ArPIKfyve-PIKfyve for the hyperosmotic stress-induced rise in PtdIns 3,5-P(2). Small interfering RNA-directed gene silencing to selectively deplete ArPIKfyve or PIKfyve in 3T3-L1 adipocytes determined the ArPIKfyve-PIKfyve axis fully accountable for the hyperosmotically activated PtdIns 3,5-P(2). Together these results reveal a previously uncharacterized PtdIns 3,5-P(2) pathway activated selectively in hyperosmotically stressed 3T3-L1 adipocytes and suggest a plausible role for PtdIns 3,5-P(2) in the osmo-protective response mechanism in this cell type.

Abstract
Multivesicular body morphology and size are controlled in part by PtdIns(3,5)P(2), produced in mammalian cells by PIKfyve-directed phosphorylation of PtdIns(3)P. Here we identify human Vac14 (hVac14), an evolutionarily conserved protein, present in all eukaryotes but studied principally in yeast thus far, as a novel positive regulator of PIKfyve enzymatic activity. In mammalian cells and tissues, Vac14 is a low-abundance 82-kDa protein, but its endogenous levels could be up-regulated upon ectopic expression of hVac14. PIKfyve and hVac14 largely cofractionated, populated similar intracellular locales, and physically associated. A small-interfering RNA-directed gene-silencing approach to selectively eliminate endogenous hVac14 rendered HEK293 cells susceptible to morphological alterations similar to those observed upon expression of PIKfyve mutants deficient in PtdIns(3,5)P(2) production. Largely decreased in vitro PIKfyve kinase activity and unaltered PIKfyve protein levels were detected under these conditions. Conversely, ectopic expression of hVac14 increased the intrinsic PIKfyve lipid kinase activity. Concordantly, intracellular PtdIns(3)P-to-PtdIns(3,5)P(2) conversion was perturbed by hVac14 depletion and was elevated upon ectopic expression of hVac14. These data demonstrate a major role of the PIKfyve-associated hVac14 protein in activating PIKfyve and thereby regulating PtdIns(3,5)P(2) synthesis and endomembrane homeostasis in mammalian cells.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI3K) phosphorylate the 3-position of the inositol ring of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate to produce phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate. It is not clear whether PI3K can phosphorylate the inositol group in other biomolecules. We sought to determine whether PI3K was able to use glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) as a substrate. This phospholipid may exist either in free form (GPIfree) or forming a lipid anchor (GPIanchor) for the attachment of extracellular proteins to the plasma membrane. We demonstrate the specific PI3K-mediated phosphorylation of the inositol 3-hydroxyl group within both types of GPI by incubating this phospholipid with immunoprecipitated PI3K. The phosphorylated product behaves in HPLC as a derivative of a PI3K lipid product. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration that PI3K uses lipid substrates other than phosphoinositides. Further, we show that this has potential functional consequences. When GPIfree is phosphorylated, it becomes a poorer substrate for GPI-specific phospholipase D, but a better substrate for phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C. These phosphorylation events may constitute the basis of a previously undescribed signal transduction mechanism.

Abstract
The roles of diphosphoinositol polyphosphates (DIPs) in mammalian cell biology have been difficult to determine because of the lack of tools known to regulate their levels. I have determined a series of protocols that regulate these DIPs, and these can be used to further our understanding of these molecules. Sorbitol and sucrose significantly raised levels of bis-diphosphoinositol tetrakisphosphate ([PP]2-InsP4) but slightly lowered levels of diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (PP-InsP5) in DDT1 MF-2 cells. These effects correlate with the ability of hyperosmotic stress to interfere with protein trafficking described previously and suggest that [PP]2-InsP4 specifically impedes protein trafficking. The effects on [PP]2-InsP4 were not regulated by extracellular signal-regulated kinase or phospholipase D, as exemplified by the lack of effect of U0126 and butan-1-ol. I have also found that genistein potently and rapidly lowers levels of [PP]2-InsP4, whereas a similar inhibitor, herbimycin, was without effect. Thapsigargin, a sarcoplasmic-endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase pump inhibitor previously shown to selectively lower PP-InsP5 after short-term treatment, also selectively raises PP-InsP5 after a longer treatment. The calmodulin inhibitors N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulfonamide (W-7) and chlorpromazine significantly lowered all higher inositol phosphates, as well as DIPs, whereas the calmodulin-dependent kinase inhibitors methyl 9-(S)-12-(R)-epoxy-1H-diindolo[1,2,3-fg:3',2',1'-kl]pyrrolo[3,4-i][1,6]benzodiazocine-2,3,9,10,11,12-hexahydro-10-(R)hydroxy-9-methyl-1-oxo-10-carboxylate (K-252a) and 2-[N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)]amino-N-(4-chlorocinnamyl)-N-methylbenzylamine (KN-93) were without effect. W-7 and chlorpromazine also lowered levels of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and ATP but greatly increased levels of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate. Trypan blue exclusion deemed that these doses were not cytotoxic. These results identify an increasing number of reagents that regulate DIP levels. Using these tools, and those described previously, we can further understand the roles of the DIPs in cell biology.

Abstract
MTM1, the gene encoding myotubularin (MTM1), is mutated in the X-linked myotubular myopathy (XLMTM), a severe genetic muscular disorder. MTM1 is a phosphoinositide phosphatase hydrolyzing phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns(3)P) in yeast and in vitro. Because this lipid is implicated in the regulation of vesicular trafficking, we used established cell lines from XLMTM patients to evaluate whether the lack of endogenous MTM1 expression could affect PtdIns(3)P labeling patterns. Our results showed that the vesicular trafficking related to early endosomes was not significantly affected in the XLMTM cell lines compared with control cells. However, in addition to PtdIns(3)P, we found that MTM1 can hydrolyze phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate both in vitro and in mammalian cells. Using a mass assay, we demonstrated that the product generated is phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate (PtdIns(5)P), a recently discovered phosphoinositide, the function of which is still unknown. In L6 myotubes overexpressing MTM1, hyperosmotic shock induced an increase in the mass level of PtdIns(5)P that was reduced by 50% upon overexpression of the MTM1 inactive mutant D278A. These data demonstrate for the first time a role for MTM1 in the production of PtdIns(5)P in mammalian cells, suggesting that the lack of transformation of phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate into PtdIns(5)P might be an important component in the etiology of myotubular myopathy.

Abstract
Mutations in the myotubularin (MTM)-related protein 2 (MTMR2) gene are responsible for the severe autosomal recessive neuropathy Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4B1. MTMR2 belongs to the MTM family of dual-specific phosphatases that use phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3,5-bisphosphate [PI(3,5)P2] and PI 3-phosphate [PI(3)P] as their substrate. Because these substrates are localized in the membrane bilayer, membrane targeting of Mtmr2 is an important regulatory mechanism. In hypoosmotically stressed COS cells with increased levels of PI(3,5)P2, Mtmr2 is bound to the membrane of vacuoles formed under these conditions. Using several mutant forms of Mtmr2, we identified two domains that are necessary for membrane association: (i) A pleckstrin homology-GRAM domain; and (ii) a coiled-coil module. Protein-lipid overlay assays show that the pleckstrin homology-GRAM domain binds to PI(3,5)P2 and PI(5)P, a substrate and a product of the Mtmr2 enzyme, respectively. We also demonstrate that Mtmr2 forms a dimer and that the C-terminal coiled-coil is responsible for homodimerization, in addition to membrane association. Our data indicate that phosphoinositide-protein interactions, as well as protein-protein interactions, are necessary for the correct regulation of MTMR2.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate is a membrane lipid found in all eukaryotes so far studied but downstream effector proteins of this lipid have yet to be identified. Here we report the use of cDNA phage libraries in conjunction with synthetic biotinylated derivatives of phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate in the identification of a mammalian phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate-binding protein, mVps24p. This protein is orthologous to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein, Vps24p, a class-E vacuolar protein-sorting protein. Using in vitro liposome binding and competition assays, we demonstrate that mVps24p selectively binds to phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate in preference to other phosphoinositides tested. When expressed in cultured mammalian cells, full-length mVps24p is cytosolic. However, when cells expressing the full-length mVps24p are co-transfected with a mutated form of mVps4p (which is defective in ATP hydrolysis), or when a N-terminal construct of mVps24p is expressed, the class-E cellular phenotype with swollen vacuoles is induced and mVps24p is membrane-associated. Furthermore, the accumulation of the N-terminal mVps24p construct on the swollen endosomal membranes is abrogated when phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate synthesis is blocked with wortmannin. These data provide the first direct link between phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate and the protein machinery involved in the production of the class-E cellular phenotype. We hypothesize that accumulation of Vps24 on membranes occurs when membrane association (dependent on interaction of phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate with the N-terminal domain of the protein) is uncoupled from membrane disassociation (driven by Vps4p).

Abstract
Diacylglycerol kinase alpha (DAGK alpha), like all type I DAGKs, has calcium regulatory motifs that act as negative regulators of enzyme activity and localization. Accordingly, DAGK alpha is activated by phospholipase C-coupled receptors in a calcium-dependent manner. One of the first functions attributed to DAGK alpha in lymphocytes was that of regulating interleukin 2-induced cell cycle entry. Interleukin-2 nonetheless exerts its action in the absence of cytosolic calcium increase. We have studied alternative receptor-derived signals to explain calcium-independent DAGK alpha activation, and show that DAGK alpha is stimulated by Src-like kinase-dependent phosphoinositide 3 kinase (PI3K) activation in lymphocytes. Our results demonstrate that, in vivo, the increase in cellular levels of PI3K products is sufficient to induce DAGK alpha activation, allowing DAGK alpha relocation to the intact lymphocyte plasma membrane. This activation is isoform-specific, because other type I DAGKs are not subject to this type of regulation. These studies are the first to describe a pathway in which, in the absence of receptor-regulated calcium increase, DAGK alpha activation and membrane localization is a direct consequence of PI3K activation.

Abstract
Acid sphingomyelinase (A-SMase, EC 3.1.4.12) catalyzes the lysosomal degradation of sphingomyelin to phosphorylcholine and ceramide. Inherited deficiencies of acid sphingomyelinase activity result in various clinical forms of Niemann-Pick disease, which are characterised by massive lysosomal accumulation of sphingomyelin. Sphingomyelin hydrolysis by both, acid sphingomyelinase and membrane-associated neutral sphingomyelinase, plays also an important role in cellular signaling systems regulating proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation. Here, we present a potent and selective novel inhibitor of A-SMase, L-alpha-phosphatidyl-D-myo-inositol-3,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns3,5P2), a naturally occurring substance detected in mammalian, plant and yeast cells. The inhibition constant Ki for the new A-SMase inhibitor PtdIns3,5P2 is 0.53 microM as determined in a micellar assay system with radiolabeled sphingomyelin as substrate and recombinant human A-SMase purified from insect cells. Even at concentrations of up to 50 microM, PtdIns3,5P2 neither decreased plasma membrane-associated, magnesium-dependent neutral sphingomyelinase activity, nor was it an inhibitor of the lysosomal hydrolases beta-hexosaminidase A and acid ceramidase. Other phosphoinositides tested had no or a much weaker effect on acid sphingomyelinase. Different inositol-bisphosphates were studied to elucidate structure-activity relationships for A-SMase inhibition. Our investigations provide an insight into the structural features required for selective, efficient inhibition of acid sphingomyelinase and may also be used as starting point for the development of new potent A-SMase inhibitors optimised for diverse applications.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(3,5)P(2)) is the most recently discovered PtdInsP(2) isomer. It is likely that PtdIns(3,5)P(2) is ubiquitous to eukaryotes, and that it performs a number of important cellular functions, including vacuolar homeostasis, retrograde trafficking from the vacuole, and protein sorting at the multivesicular body. This review describes the metabolism of PtdIns(3,5)P(2) and discusses the potential functions for this lipid.

Abstract
The 3-phosphorylated inositol lipids fulfill roles as second messengers by interacting with the lipid binding domains of a variety of cellular proteins. Such interactions can affect the subcellular localization and aggregation of target proteins, and through allosteric effects, their activity. Generation of 3-phosphoinositides has been documented to influence diverse cellular pathways and hence alter a spectrum of fundamental cellular activities. This review is focused on the 3-phosphoinositide lipids, the synthesis of which is acutely triggered by extracellular stimuli, the enzymes responsible for their synthesis and metabolism, and their cell biological roles. Much knowledge has recently been gained through structural insights into the lipid kinases, their interaction with inhibitors, and the way their 3-phosphoinositide products interact with protein targets. This field is now moving toward a genetic dissection of 3-phosphoinositide action in a variety of model organisms. Such approaches will reveal the true role of the 3-phosphoinositides at the organismal level in health and disease.

Abstract
PIKfyve is a phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 3-phosphate (P)-metabolizing enzyme, which, in addition to a C-terminally positioned catalytic domain, harbors several evolutionarily conserved domains, including a FYVE finger. The FYVE finger domains are thought to direct the protein localization to intracellular membrane PtdIns 3-P. Recent studies with several FYVE domain proteins challenge this general concept. Here we have examined the binding of PIKfyve's FYVE domain to PtdIns 3-P in vitro and in vivo and a plausible contribution of this binding mechanism for the intracellular localization of the full-length protein. We document now a specific and high affinity interaction of a recombinantly produced PIKfyve FYVE domain peptide fragment with PtdIns 3-P-containing liposomes that requires the presence of the conservative core of basic residues within the FYVE domain. PIKfyve localization to membranes of the late endocytic pathway was found to be absolutely dependent on the presence of an intact FYVE finger. Cell treatment with PI 3-kinase inhibitor wortmannin dissociated endosome-bound PIKfyve, indicating that the protein targeted the membrane PtdIns 3-P. An enzymatically inactive peptide fragment of the PIKfyve catalytic domain was found to also specifically bind to PtdIns 3-P-containing liposomes, with residue Lys-1999 being critical in the interaction. This binding, however, was of relatively low affinity and, in the cellular context, was found ineffective in directing the molecule to PtdIns 3-P-enriched endosomes. Collectively, these results demonstrate that interaction of the FYVE domain with PtdIns 3-P is absolutely necessary for PIKfyve targeting to the membranes of the late endocytic pathway and determine PIKfyve as a downstream effector of PtdIns 3-P.

Abstract
The dual specificity mammalian enzyme PIKfyve phosphorylates in vitro position d-5 in phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) and PtdIns 3-P, itself or exogenous protein substrates. Here we have addressed the crucial questions for the identity of the lipid products and the role of PIKfyve enzymatic activity in mammalian cells. CHO, HEK293, and COS cells expressing PIKfyve(WT) at high levels and >90% efficiencies increased selectively the intracellular PtdIns 3,5-P(2) production by 30--55%. In these cell types PtdIns 5-P was undetectable. A kinase-deficient point mutant, PIKfyve(K1831E), transiently transfected into these or other cells elicited a dramatic dominant phenotype. Subsequent to a dilation of the PIKfyve-containing vesicles, PIKfyve(K1831E)-expressing cells progressively accumulated multiple swollen lucent vacuoles of endosomal origin, first in the perinuclear cytoplasm and then toward the cell periphery. Despite their drastically altered morphology, the PIKfyve(K1831E)-expressing cells were viable and functionally active, evidenced by several criteria. This phenotype was completely reversed by introducing PIKfyve(WT) into the PIKfyve(K1831E)-transfected cells. Disruptions of the localization signal in the PIKfyve kinase-deficient mutant yielded a PIKfyve(K1831E Delta fyve) protein, incompetent to vacuolate cells, implying that an active PIKfyve enzyme at distinct late endocytic membranes is crucial for normal cell morphology. This was further substantiated by examining the vacuolation-induced potency of several pharmacological stimuli in cells expressing high PIKfyve(WT) levels. Together, the results indicate that PIKfyve enzymatic activity, possibly through the generation of PtdIns 3,5-P(2), and/or yet to be identified endogenous phosphoproteins, is critical for cell morphology and endomembrane homeostasis.

Abstract
A diverse range of insulin-regulated cellular processes are dependent on class I(A) phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI 3-Ks) and their association with and activation by up-stream signaling molecules. Here we report on the identification of the phosphoinositide 5'-kinase PIKfyve as a partner of class I(A) PI 3-K. Thus, both p85 and p110 subunits (class I(A)) of PI 3-Ks co-precipitated with anti-PIKfyve antibodies from lysates of resting 3T3-L1 adipocytes and, vice versa, PIKfyve co-precipitated with anti-p85 PI 3-K antibodies. Assignment to class I(A) PI 3-K enzymatic activity was further substantiated by the inhibition of PtdIns 3-P production in PIKfyve immune complexes by low concentrations of wortmannin and Triton X-100, and its preferences for Mg(2+) versus Mn(2+). Insulin but not PDGF or EGF stimulation of 3T3-L1 adipocytes markedly increased the PtdIns 3-P production (4.2-fold) in PIKfyve immune complexes, primarily as a result of increased PI 3-K intrinsic enzymatic activity. Intriguingly, while both insulin and PDGF caused an increase of class I(A) PI 3-K activity co-immunoprecipitated with tyrosine phosphorylated proteins, only insulin treatment yielded an activation of class I(A) PI 3-K in PIKfyve immune complexes. Studies aiming at identifying the underlying mechanism revealed that PIKfyve-class I(A) PI 3-K association and the insulin-induced activation likely operate independently of tyrosine phosphorylated insulin receptor substrate proteins. Together, these results establish PIKfyve as a novel source of activated class I(A) PI 3-K molecules that may be relevant in the insulin-signal transduction pathway.

Abstract
Cell stress is implicated in a number of pathological states of metabolism, such as ischaemia, reperfusion and apoptosis in heart, neurons and other tissues. While it is known that the ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channel plays a role during metabolic abnormality, little information is available about the direct response of this channel to cell stress. Using photoirradiation stimulation, we studied the effects of cell stress on both native and cloned KATP channels. Single KATP channel currents were recorded from cell-attached and inside-out patches of rat ventricular myocytes and COS-1 cells coexpressing SUR2 and Kir6.2. KATP channel activity increased within < 1 min upon irradiation. The activity resulted from increased maximal open probability and decreased ATP inhibition. The effects remained after the irradiation was stopped. Irradiation also affected the channels formed only by Kir6.2DeltaC35. The irradiation-induced activation was comparable to that induced by phosphoinositides. Analysis of phosphatidylinositol composition revealed an elevated phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate level with irradiation. Wortmannin, an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol kinases, decreased both the irradiation-induced channel activity and the production of phosphatidylinositol bisphosphates. Radical scavengers also reduced the irradiation-induced activation, suggesting a role for free radicals, an immediate product of photoirradiation. We conclude that photoirradiation can modify the single-channel properties of KATP, which appears to be mediated by phosphoinositides. Our study suggests that cellular stress may be linked with KATP channels, and we offer a putative mechanism for such a linkage.

Abstract
Control of lymphocyte cell survival and proliferation is critical for both the immune response and for the prevention of autoimmune and infectious diseases. The actions of interleukin-2, the major T-cell regulatory cytokine, are mediated by the complex network of divergent signalling pathways controlled by its high-affinity receptor. Various studies have indicated that the generation of certain lipid second messengers is an important mechanism in the control of proliferation and cell death. We have examined the relationship between diacylglycerol and ceramide and the levels of the lipids phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin, their potential precursors, in the human T-cell line Kit 225 cultured in three distinct conditions to favor apoptosis, cell arrest, and proliferation. Our data show that, in proliferating cells, the ratios of diacylglycerol/ceramide and phosphatidylcholine/sphingomyelin are higher than those found in arrested cells and increase with time in culture. These ratios are rapidly reversed in apoptotic cells. Further experiments reveal that de novo synthesis of both diacylglycerol and phosphatidylcholine is greatest in proliferating cells, whereas sphingomyelin synthase activity is increased in cells undergoing apoptosis. In summary, our results demonstrate for the first time that the ratio of mitogenic/antimitogenic lipids changes dramatically during T-cell proliferation and cell death. These results indicate that lipid second messengers and the enzymes that are responsible for their generation may provide targets for novel therapeutic interventions in the clinical management of immunosuppression and autoimmune disease.

Abstract
The inositol-polyphosphate 5-phosphatase enzyme family removes the 5-position phosphate from both inositol phosphate and phosphoinositide signaling molecules. We have cloned and characterized a novel 5-phosphatase, which demonstrates a restricted substrate specificity and tissue expression. The 3.9-kb cDNA predicts for a 72-kDa protein with an N-terminal proline rich domain, a central 5-phosphatase domain, and a C-terminal CAAX motif. The 3. 9-kilobase mRNA showed a restricted expression but was abundant in testis and brain. Antibodies against the sequence detected a 72-kDa protein in the testis in the detergent-insoluble fraction. Indirect immunofluorescence of the Tera-1 cell line using anti-peptide antibodies to the 72-kDa 5-phosphatase demonstrated that the enzyme is predominantly located to the Golgi. Expression of green fluorescent protein-tagged 72-kDa 5-phosphatase in COS-7 cells revealed that the enzyme localized predominantly to the Golgi, mediated by the N-terminal proline-rich domain, but not the C-terminal CAAX motif. In vitro, the protein inserted into microsomal membranes on the cytoplasmic face of the membrane. Immunoprecipitated recombinant 72-kDa 5-phosphatase hydrolyzed phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3, 5-bisphosphate, forming phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate, respectively. We propose that the novel 5-phosphatase hydrolyzes phosphatidylinositol 3,4, 5-trisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate on the cytoplasmic Golgi membrane and thereby may regulate Golgi-vesicular trafficking.

Abstract
Despite the fact that phosphatidic acid (PtdOH) has been implicated as a lipid second messenger for nearly a decade, its intracellular targets have remained unclear. We sought to investigate how an increase in the level of PtdOH could modulate phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase (PIPkin), an enzyme involved in phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate synthesis. Transfection of porcine aortic endothelial (PAE) cells with haemagglutinin (HA)-tagged type Ialpha PIPkin followed by immunofluorescence confocal microscopy revealed the enzyme to be localised to the plasma membrane. When the transfected PAE cells were stimulated with lyso-PtdOH, increased PIPkin activity was found to be associated with HA immunoprecipitates in an in vitro assay. This PIPkin activation was found to be greatly reduced by prior treatment of the cells with 1-butanol, thereby implicating phospholipase D (PLD) as the in vivo generator of PtdOH. In order to determine if the PtdOH-dependent activation of type Ialpha PIPkin was dictated by a specific molecular composition of PtdOH, the wild type murine and porcine alpha isoforms of diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) were individually co-transfected along with type Ialpha PIPkin. Under these conditions an increase in type Ialpha PIPkin lipid kinase activity was found in HA immunoprecipitates in an in vitro assay. No increases in lipid kinase activity were observed when type Ialpha PIPkin was co-transfected with either the human DGKepsilon isoform or a kinase-dead mutant of the murine DGKalpha isoform. These results provide the first direct evidence for the unification of the production of saturated/monounsaturated PtdOH (through two different routes, PLD and DGK) and the in vivo activation of type Ialpha PIPkin by this lipid second messenger.

Abstract
Many signaling pathways converge on and regulate phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) enzymes whose inositol lipid products are key mediators of intracellular signaling. Different PI3K isoforms generate specific lipids that bind to FYVE and pleckstrin homology (PH) domains in a variety of proteins, affecting their localization, conformation, and activities. Here we review the activation mechanisms of the different types of PI3Ks and their downstream actions, with focus on the PI3Ks that are acutely triggered by extracellular stimulation.
