Different properties of monomer and heterodimer forms of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases.

ABSTRACT: Phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase plays an important role in the signalling of cell growth. We previously purified two types of PI 3-kinase from bovine thymus, a monomer from (PI 3-kinase I) and a heterodimer form (PI 3-kinase II) [Shibasaki, Homma and Takenawa (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 8108-8114]. Here we examine the properties of these purified PI 3-kinases. Both PI 3-kinases were inhibited strongly by quercetin and isoquercetin. The inhibition of PI 3-kinase I and PI 3-kinase II by quercetin appears to be non-competitive, with apparent Ki values of 4 microM and 2.5 microM respectively. PI 3-kinase II, but not PI 3-kinase I, co-immunoprecipitates with pp60v-src and polyoma middle T (mT)/pp60c-src, even under conditions where the PI 3-kinases are not phosphorylated, suggesting that non-phosphorylated PI 3-kinase recognizes autophosphorylated pp60v-src. PI 3-kinase II is phosphorylated by pp60v-src and binds to it. Anti-p85 (85 kDa subunit of PI 3-kinase II) antibody precipitates not only PI 3-kinase II but also co-immunoprecipitates pp60v-src in src-transformed cells, suggesting that PI 3-kinase II binds to pp60v-src in vivo. These data suggest that the two PI 3-kinases may be regulated independently.

The oncogenic properties of mutant p110alpha and p110beta phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases in human mammary epithelial cells.

Project description:The PIK3CA gene encoding the p110alpha subunit of Class IA phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI3Ks) is frequently mutated in human tumors. Mutations in the PIK3CB gene encoding p110beta, the only other widely expressed Class IA PI3K, have not been reported. We compared the biochemical activity and transforming potential of mutant forms of p110alpha and p110beta in a human mammary epithelial cell system. The two most common tumor-derived alleles of p110alpha, H1047R and E545K, potently activated PI3K signaling. Human mammary epithelial cells expressing these alleles grew efficiently in soft agar and as orthotopic tumors in nude mice. We also examined a third class of mutations in p110alpha, those in the p85-binding domain. A representative tumor-derived p85-binding-domain mutant R38H showed modestly reduced p85 binding and weakly activated PI3K/Akt signaling. In contrast, a deletion mutant lacking the entire p85-binding domain efficiently activated PI3K signaling. When we constructed in p110beta a mutation homologous to the E545K allele of p110alpha, the resulting p110beta mutant was only weakly activated and allowed minimal soft-agar growth. However, a gene fusion of p110beta with the membrane anchor from c-Src was highly active and transforming in both soft-agar and orthotopic nude mouse assays. Thus, although introduction of activating mutations from p110alpha at the corresponding sites in p110beta failed to render the enzyme oncogenic in human cells, the possibility remains that other mutations might activate the beta isoform.

Phosphatidylinositol Kinases and Phosphatases in Entamoeba histolytica.

Project description:Phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) metabolism is indispensable in eukaryotes. Phosphoinositides (PIs) are phosphorylated derivatives of PtdIns and consist of seven species generated by reversible phosphorylation of the inositol moieties at the positions 3, 4, and 5. Each of the seven PIs has a unique subcellular and membrane domain distribution. In the enteric protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica, it has been previously shown that the PIs phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns3P), PtdIns(4,5)P2, and PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 are localized to phagosomes/phagocytic cups, plasma membrane, and phagocytic cups, respectively. The localization of these PIs in E. histolytica is similar to that in mammalian cells, suggesting that PIs have orthologous functions in E. histolytica. In contrast, the conservation of the enzymes that metabolize PIs in this organism has not been well-documented. In this review, we summarized the full repertoire of the PI kinases and PI phosphatases found in E. histolytica via a genome-wide survey of the current genomic information. E. histolytica appears to have 10 PI kinases and 23 PI phosphatases. It has a panel of evolutionarily conserved enzymes that generate all the seven PI species. However, class II PI 3-kinases, type II PI 4-kinases, type III PI 5-phosphatases, and PI 4P-specific phosphatases are not present. Additionally, regulatory subunits of class I PI 3-kinases and type III PI 4-kinases have not been identified. Instead, homologs of class I PI 3-kinases and PTEN, a PI 3-phosphatase, exist as multiple isoforms, which likely reflects that elaborate signaling cascades mediated by PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 are present in this organism. There are several enzymes that have the nuclear localization signal: one phosphatidylinositol phosphate (PIP) kinase, two PI 3-phosphatases, and one PI 5-phosphatase; this suggests that PI metabolism also has conserved roles related to nuclear functions in E. histolytica, as it does in model organisms.

A Molecular Dynamics Study of Monomer Melt Properties of Cyanate Ester Monomer Melt Properties.

Project description:The objective of this work was to computationally predict the melting temperature and melt properties of thermosetting monomers used in aerospace applications. In this study, we applied an existing voids method by Solca. to examine four cyanate ester monomers with a wide range of melting temperatures. Voids were introduced into some simulations by removal of molecules from lattice positions to lower the free-energy barrier to melting to directly simulate the transition from a stable crystal to amorphous solid and capture the melting temperature. We validated model predictions by comparing melting temperature against previously reported literature values. Additionally, the torsion and orientational order parameters were used to examine the monomers' freedom of motion to investigate structure-property relationships. Ultimately, the voids method provided reasonable estimates of melting temperature while the torsion and order parameter analysis provided insight into sources of the differing melt properties between the thermosetting monomers. As a whole, the results shed light on how freedom of molecular motions in the monomer melt state may affect melting temperature and can be utilized to inspire the development of thermosetting monomers with optimal monomer melt properties for demanding applications.

Multiple phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases regulate vaccinia virus morphogenesis.

Project description:Poxvirus morphogenesis is a complex process that involves the successive wrapping of the virus in host cell membranes. We screened by plaque assay a focused library of kinase inhibitors for those that caused a reduction in viral growth and identified several compounds that selectively inhibit phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). Previous studies demonstrated that PI3Ks mediate poxviral entry. Using growth curves and electron microscopy in conjunction with inhibitors, we show that that PI3Ks additionally regulate morphogenesis at two distinct steps: immature to mature virion (IMV) transition, and IMV envelopment to form intracellular enveloped virions (IEV). Cells derived from animals lacking the p85 regulatory subunit of Type I PI3Ks (p85alpha(-/-)beta(-/-)) presented phenotypes similar to those observed with PI3K inhibitors. In addition, VV appear to redundantly use PI3Ks, as PI3K inhibitors further reduce plaque size and number in p85alpha(-/-)beta(-/-) cells. Together, these data provide evidence for a novel regulatory mechanism for virion morphogenesis involving phosphatidylinositol dynamics and may represent a new therapeutic target to contain poxviruses.

Mechanism of substrate specificity of phosphatidylinositol phosphate kinases.

Project description:The phosphatidylinositol phosphate kinase (PIPK) family of enzymes is primarily responsible for converting singly phosphorylated phosphatidylinositol derivatives to phosphatidylinositol bisphosphates. As such, these kinases are central to many signaling and membrane trafficking processes in the eukaryotic cell. The three types of phosphatidylinositol phosphate kinases are homologous in sequence but differ in catalytic activities and biological functions. Type I and type II kinases generate phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate from phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate, respectively, whereas the type III kinase produces phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate from phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate. Based on crystallographic analysis of the zebrafish type I kinase PIP5Kα, we identified a structural motif unique to the kinase family that serves to recognize the monophosphate on the substrate. Our data indicate that the complex pattern of substrate recognition and phosphorylation results from the interplay between the monophosphate binding site and the specificity loop: the specificity loop functions to recognize different orientations of the inositol ring, whereas residues flanking the phosphate binding Arg244 determine whether phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate is exclusively bound and phosphorylated at the 5-position. This work provides a thorough picture of how PIPKs achieve their exquisite substrate specificity.

Phosphatidylinositol 4-kinases are required for autophagic membrane trafficking.

Project description:Macroautophagy (hereafter autophagy) is a degradative cellular pathway that protects eukaryotic cells from stress, starvation, and microbial infection. This process must be tightly controlled because too little or too much autophagy can be deleterious to cellular physiology. The phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 3-kinase Vps34 is a lipid kinase that regulates autophagy, but the role of other PtdIns kinases has not been examined. Here we demonstrate a role for PtdIns 4-kinases and PtdIns4P 5-kinases in selective and nonselective types of autophagy in yeast. The PtdIns 4-kinase Pik1 is involved in Atg9 trafficking through the Golgi and is involved in both nonselective and selective types of autophagy, whereas the PtdIns4P 5-kinase Mss4 is specifically involved in mitophagy but not nonselective autophagy. Our data indicate that phosphoinositide kinases have multiple roles in the regulation of autophagic pathways.

Agonist-stimulated phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate generation by scaffolded phosphoinositide kinases.

Project description:Generation of the lipid messenger phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3) is crucial for development, cell growth and survival, and motility, and it becomes dysfunctional in many diseases including cancers. Here we reveal a mechanism for PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 generation by scaffolded phosphoinositide kinases. In this pathway, class I phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase (PI(3)K) is assembled by IQGAP1 with PI(4)KIII? and PIPKI?, which sequentially generate PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 from phosphatidylinositol. By scaffolding these kinases into functional proximity, the PtdIns(4,5)P2 generated is selectively used by PI(3)K for PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 generation, which then signals to PDK1 and Akt that are also in the complex. Moreover, multiple receptor types stimulate the assembly of this IQGAP1-PI(3)K signalling complex. Blockade of IQGAP1 interaction with PIPKI? or PI(3)K inhibited PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 generation and signalling, and selectively diminished cancer cell survival, revealing a target for cancer chemotherapy.

Regulation of phosphatidylinositol kinases and metabolism by Wnt3a and Dvl.

Project description:Wnt signaling plays important roles in various physiological and pathophysiological processes. The pathway that leads to beta-catenin stabilization is initiated by Wnt binding to its cell surface receptors, which induces the formation of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P(2)) via activation of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase (PIP5K) type I. Here, we show that Wnt also stimulated the production of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns(4)P), which depended on Frizzled (Fz), Dishevelled (Dvl), and phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase (PI4K) type II alpha in HEK293T cells. Dvl directly interacted with and activated PI4KII alpha by increasing its V(max) for ATP and PtdIns. In addition, Dvl regulated PI4KII alpha and PIP5KI via different domains. Moreover, Dvl, PI4KII alpha, and PIP5KI appeared to form a ternary complex upon Wnt3a stimulation. This complex may allow efficient production of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) from PtdIns, which is far more abundant than PtdIns(4)P in cells. Therefore, this study provides new insights into the mechanism by which Wnt3a regulates the production of PtdIns(4,5)P(2).

Foot-and-mouth disease virus replicates independently of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate and type III phosphatidylinositol 4-kinases.

Project description:Picornaviruses form replication complexes in association with membranes in structures called replication organelles. Common themes to emerge from studies of picornavirus replication are the need for cholesterol and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P). In infected cells, type III phosphatidylinositol 4-kinases (PI4KIIIs) generate elevated levels of PI4P, which is then exchanged for cholesterol at replication organelles. For the enteroviruses, replication organelles form at Golgi membranes in a process that utilizes PI4KIII?. Other picornaviruses, for example the cardioviruses, are believed to initiate replication at the endoplasmic reticulum and subvert PI4KIII? to generate PI4P. Here we investigated the role of PI4KIII in foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) replication. Our results showed that, in contrast to the enteroviruses and the cardioviruses, FMDV replication does not require PI4KIII (PI4KIII? and PI4KIII?), and PI4P levels do not increase in FMDV-infected cells and PI4P is not seen at replication organelles. These results point to a unique requirement towards lipids at the FMDV replication membranes.

Oncogenic mutations weaken the interactions that stabilize the p110?-p85? heterodimer in phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase ?.

Project description:Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) ? is a heterodimeric lipid kinase that catalyzes the conversion of phosphoinositol-4,5-bisphosphate to phosphoinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate. The PI3K? signaling pathway plays an important role in cell growth, proliferation, and survival. This pathway is activated in numerous cancers, where the PI3KCA gene, which encodes for the p110? PI3K? subunit, is mutated. Its mutation often results in gain of enzymatic activity; however, the mechanism of activation by oncogenic mutations remains unknown. Here, using computational methods, we show that oncogenic mutations that are far from the catalytic site and increase the enzymatic affinity destabilize the p110?-p85? dimer. By affecting the dynamics of the protein, these mutations favor the conformations that reduce the autoinhibitory effect of the p85? nSH2 domain. For example, we determined that, in all of the mutants, the nSH2 domain shows increased positional heterogeneity as compared with the wild-type, as demonstrated by changes in the fluctuation profiles computed by normal mode analysis of coarse-grained elastic network models. Analysis of the interdomain interactions of the wild-type and mutants at the p110?-p85? interface obtained with molecular dynamics simulations suggest that all of the tumor-associated mutations effectively weaken the interactions between p110? and p85? by disrupting key stabilizing interactions. These findings have important implications for understanding how oncogenic mutations change the conformational multiplicity of PI3K? and lead to increased enzymatic activity. This mechanism may apply to other enzymes and/or macromolecular complexes that play a key role in cell signaling.
