Abstract
Pollen tubes require a tightly regulated pectin secretion machinery to sustain the cell wall plasticity required for polar tip growth. Involved in this regulation at the apical plasma membrane are proteins and signaling molecules, including phosphoinositides and phosphatidic acid (PA). However, the contribution of diacylglycerol kinases (DGKs) is not clear. We transiently expressed tobacco DGKs in pollen tubes to identify a plasma membrane (PM)-localized isoform, and then to study its effect on pollen tube growth, pectin secretion and lipid signaling. In order to potentially downregulate DGK5 function, we overexpressed an inactive variant. Only one of eight DGKs displayed a confined localization at the apical PM. We could demonstrate its enzymatic activity and that a kinase-dead variant was inactive. Overexpression of either variant led to differential perturbations including misregulation of pectin secretion. One mode of regulation could be that DGK5-formed PA regulates phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinases, as overexpression of the inactive DGK5 variant not only led to a reduction of PA but also of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate levels and suppressed related growth phenotypes. We conclude that DGK5 is an additional player of polar tip growth that regulates pectin secretion probably in a common pathway with PI4P 5-kinases.

Abstract
Plants display a complex life cycle, alternating between haploid and diploid generations. During fertilisation, the haploid sperm cells are delivered to the female gametophyte by pollen tubes, specialised structures elongating by tip growth, which is based on an equilibrium between cell wall-reinforcing processes and turgor-driven expansion. One important factor of this equilibrium is the rate of pectin secretion mediated and regulated by factors including the exocyst complex and small G proteins. Critically important are also non-proteinaceous molecules comprising protons, calcium ions, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and signalling lipids. Among the latter, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and the kinases involved in its formation have been assigned important functions. The negatively charged headgroup of this lipid serves as an interaction point at the apical plasma membrane for partners such as the exocyst complex, thereby polarising the cell and its secretion processes. Another important signalling lipid is phosphatidic acid (PA), that can either be formed by the combination of phospholipases C and diacylglycerol kinases or by phospholipases D. It further fine-tunes pollen tube growth, for example by regulating ROS formation. How the individual signalling cues are intertwined or how external guidance cues are integrated to facilitate directional growth remain open questions.

Abstract
A systematic investigation of the micellization process of a biocompatible zwitterionic surfactant 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)-dimethylammonium]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS) has been carried out by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) at temperatures between 278.15 K and 328.15 K in water, aqueous NaCl (0.1, 0.5, and 1 M), and buffer solutions (pH = 3.0, 6.8, and 7.8). The effect of different cations and anions on the micellization of CHAPS surfactant has been also examined in LiCl, CsCl, NaBr, and NaI solutions at 308.15 K. It turned out that the critical micelle concentration, cmc, is only slightly shifted toward lower values in salt solutions, whereas in buffer media it remains similar to its value in water. From the results obtained, it could be assumed that CHAPS behaves as a weakly charged cationic surfactant in salt solutions and as a nonionic surfactant in water and buffer medium. Conventional surfactants alike, CHAPS micellization is endothermic at low and exothermic at high temperatures, but the estimated enthalpy of micellization, ΔHM0, is considerably lower in comparison with that obtained for ionic surfactants in water and NaCl solutions. The standard Gibbs free energy, ΔGM0, and entropy, ΔSM0, of micellization were estimated by fitting the model equation based on the mass action model to the experimental data. The aggregation numbers of CHAPS surfactant around cmc, obtained by the fitting procedure also, are considerably low (nagg ≈ 5 ± 1). Furthermore, some predictions about the hydration of the micelle interior based on the correlation between heat capacity change, Δcp,M0, and changes in solvent-accessible surface upon micelle formation were made. CHAPS molecules are believed to stay in contact with water upon aggregation, which is somehow similar to the micellization process of short alkyl chain cationic surfactants.

Abstract
Diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) synthesizes phosphatidic acid from diacylglycerol, an activator of protein kinase C (PKC), to resynthesize phosphatidylinositols. The structure of DGK has not been characterized in plants. We report the cloning of a cDNA, cATDGK1, encoding DGK from Arabidopsis thaliana. The cATDGK1 CDNA contains an open reading frame of 2184 bp, and encodes a putative protein of 728 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 79.4 kDa. The deduced ATDGK1 amino acid sequence exhibits significant similarity to that of rat, pig, and Drosophila DGKs. The ATDGK1 mRNA was detected in roots, shoots, and leaves. Southern blot analysis suggests that the ATDGK1 gene is a single-copy gene. The existence of DGK as well as phospholipase C suggests the existence of PKC in plants.

Abstract
Phosphatidate kinase (adenosine 5[prime]-triphosphate:phosphatidic acid phosphotransferase), a novel enzyme of phospholipid metabolism, was detected recently in the plasma membranes of suspension-cultured Catharanthus roseus cells and purified (J.B. Wissing, H. Behrbohm [1993] Plant Physiol 102: 1243-1249). In the present work the properties of phosphatidate kinase are described. The enzyme showed a pH optimum of 6.1 and an isoelectric point of 4.8, and was rather stable in the presence of its substrates. Although the kinase accepted both ATP and GTP, with Km values of about 12 and 18 [mu]M, respectively, the only lipid substrate was phosphatidic acid; neither lysophosphatidic acid nor any other lipid tested was phosphorylated. With 32P- and 14C-labeled diacylglycerol pyrophosphate, the product of the enzyme, it was shown that the kinase catalyzes a reversible reaction. The activity of the extracted enzyme depended on the presence of surfactants such as Triton X-100 or [beta]-octylglucoside, whereas deoxycholate was strongly inhibitory. Kinetic analysis with Triton X-100/phosphatidate mixed micelles performed according to the "surface dilution" kinetic model showed saturation kinetics with respect to both bulk and surface concentration of phosphatidate. The interfacial Michaelis constant for phosphatidate was determined as 0.6 mol %.

Abstract
Microsomal membranes from suspension-cultured Catharanthus roseus cells possess an enzymic activity that catalyzes the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of phosphatidic acid (PA) to form diacylglycerol pyrophosphate (H. Behrbohm, J.B. Wissing [1993] FEBS Lett 315: 95-99). This enzyme activity, PA kinase, was purified and characterized. Plasma membranes, obtained from C. roseus microsomes by aqueous two-phase partitioning, were extracted, and PA kinase was purified 3200-fold by applying different chromatographic steps that resulted in a specific activity of about 10 [mu]mol min-1 mg-1. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis of the fractions obtained from the final chromatographic step revealed a 39-kD protein that correlated with the enzyme activity; PA kinase activity could be eluted from this protein band. Subcellular localization, investigated with C. roseus cells, showed that the activity was confined to membrane fractions, and at least 80% was associated with plasma membranes. The data revealed the same distribution within the cellular membranes of PA kinase as reported for diacylglycerol kinase, which is a typical plasma membrane-located enzyme. Furthermore, PA kinase activity was detected in the calli of 16 different plant species and in the different organs of C. roseus plants and obviously occurs ubiquitously in the plant kingdom.

Abstract
In studies on lipid kinase activities of microsomal membranes from cultured plant cells a new, hitherto unknown, lipid kinase product was detected. The new phospholipid, labeled by [gamma-32P]ATP, could be separated from known phospholipid species by thin layer chromatography using different solvent mixtures. After partial purification of the related enzyme activity, the substrate of the unknown lipid kinase was elucidated as phosphatidic acid. With authentic phosphatidic acid and partially purified enzyme, the lipid kinase product was prepared in mg quantities and its structure was determined by mass spectrometry and NMR analyses as diacylglycerol pyrophosphate, a hitherto unknown phospholipid. The possible physiological role of this novel phospholipid metabolite is discussed.

Abstract
Diacylglycerol kinase (adenosine 5'-triphosphate:1,2-diacylglycerol 3-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.107), purified from suspension cultured Catharanthus roseus cells (J Wissing, S Heim, KG Wagner [1989] Plant Physiol 90: 1546-1551), was further characterized and its subcellular location was investigated. The enzyme revealed a complex dependency on lipids and surfactants; its activity was stimulated by certain phospholipids, with phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylglycerol as the most effective species, and by deoxycholate. In the presence of Triton X-100, used for its purification, a biphasic dependency upon diacylglycerol was observed and the apparent Michaelis constant values for diacylglycerol decreased with decreasing Triton concentration. The enzyme accepted both adenosine 5'-triphosphate and guanosine 5'-triphosphate as substrate and showed rather low apparent inhibition constant values for all nucleoside diphosphates tested. Diacylglycerol kinase is an intrinsic membrane protein and no activity was found in the cytosol. An investigation of different cellular membrane fractions confirmed its location in the plasma membrane.

Abstract
Diacylglycerol kinase activity was demonstrated in highly purified plasma membranes isolated from shoots and roots of dark-grown wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) by aqueous polymer two-phase partitioning. The active site of the diacylglycerol kinase was localized to the inner cytoplasmic surface of the plasma membrane using isolated inside-out and right-side-out plasma membrane vesicles from roots. The enzyme activity in plasma membrane vesicles from shoots showed a broad pH optimum around pH 7. The reaction was Mg2+ and ATP dependent, and maximal activity was observed around 0.5 mM ATP and 3 mM MgCl2. The Mg2+ requirement could be substituted only partially by Mn2+ and not at all by Ca2+. The phosphorylation of endogenous diacylglycerol was strongly inhibited by detergents indicating an extreme dependence of the lipid environment. Inositol phospholipids stimulated the activity of diacylglycerol kinase in plasma membranes from shoots and roots, whereas the activity was inhibited by R59022, a putative inhibitor of several diacylglycerol kinase isoenzymes involved in uncoupling diacylglycerol activation of mammalian protein kinase C.

Abstract
The biochemical properties of the enzymes involved in phosphatidylinositol (PI) turnover in higher plants were investigated using the plasma membrane isolated from tobacco suspension culture cells by aqueous two-phase partitioning. Submicromolar concentrations of Ca2+ inhibited PI kinase and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PIP) kinase and stimulated phospholipase C. Diacylglycerol (DG) kinase was inhibited by Ca2+, but required a higher concentration than the physiological level. From the above results we postulate the following scheme: signal coupled activation of phospholipase C produces IP3 which induces Ca2+ release from the intracellular Ca2+ compartment, the increased cytoplasmic Ca2+ in turn activates phospholipase C and causes a further increase of the cytoplasmic Ca2+ level. This inhibits PI kinase and PIP kinase and brings about a limited supply of PIP2, the substrate of phospholipase C. Consequently, IP3 production decreases and Ca2+ mobilization ceases. Then cytosolic Ca2+ returns to the stationary level by the Ca2+ pump at the plasma membrane and at the endoplasmic reticulum and Ca2+/H+ antiporter at the plasma membrane and at the tonoplast.
