ABSTRACT: Class IB phosphoinositide 3-kinases ? (PI3K?) are second-messenger-generating enzymes downstream of signalling cascades triggered by G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). PI3K? variants have one catalytic p110? subunit that can form two different heterodimers by binding to one of a pair of non-catalytic subunits, p87 or p101. Growing experimental data argue for a different regulation of p87-p110? and p101-p110? allowing integration into distinct signalling pathways. Pharmacological tools enabling distinct modulation of the two variants are missing. The ability of an anti-p110? monoclonal antibody [mAb(A)p110?] to block PI3K? enzymatic activity attracted us to characterize this tool in detail using purified proteins. In order to get insight into the antibody-p110? interface, hydrogen-deuterium exchange coupled to MS (HDX-MS) measurements were performed demonstrating binding of the monoclonal antibody to the C2 domain in p110?, which was accompanied by conformational changes in the helical domain harbouring the G??-binding site. We then studied the modulation of phospholipid vesicles association of PI3K? by the antibody. p87-p110? showed a significantly reduced G??-mediated phospholipid recruitment as compared with p101-p110?. Concomitantly, in the presence of mAb(A)p110?, G?? did not bind to p87-p110?. These data correlated with the ability of the antibody to block G??-stimulated lipid kinase activity of p87-p110? 30-fold more potently than p101-p110?. Our data argue for differential regulatory functions of the non-catalytic subunits and a specific G??-dependent regulation of p101 in PI3K? activation. In this scenario, we consider the antibody as a valuable tool to dissect the distinct roles of the two PI3K? variants downstream of GPCRs.
