Purification and characterization of a major glycoprotein in rat hepatoma plasma membranes. One of the membrane proteins released by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C.

ABSTRACT: A major glycoprotein of rat hepatoma plasma membranes was selectively released as a soluble form by incubating the membrane with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C. The soluble form corresponding to the glycoprotein was also prepared by butan-1-ol extraction of microsomal membranes at pH 5.5, whereas extraction at pH 8.5 yielded an electrophoretically different form with a hydrophobic nature. The soluble glycoprotein extracted at pH 5.5 was purified by sequential chromatography on concanavalin A-Sepharose, Sephacryl S-300 and anti-(alkaline phosphatase) IgG-Sepharose, the last step being used to remove a contaminating alkaline phosphatase. The glycoprotein thus purified was a single protein with Mr 130,000 in SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, although it behaved as a dimer in gel filtration on Sephacryl S-300. The glycoprotein was analysed for amino acid and carbohydrate composition. The composition of the carbohydrate moiety, which amounted to 64% by weight, suggested that the glycoprotein contained much larger numbers of N-linked oligosaccharide chains than those with O-linkage. It was confirmed that the purified glycoprotein was immunologically identical not only with that released by the phospholipase C but also with the hydrophobic form extracted with butan-1-ol at pH 8.5. The results indicate that the glycoprotein of rat hepatoma plasma membranes, which has an unusually high content of carbohydrate, is another membrane protein released by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C, as documented for alkaline phosphatase, acetylcholinesterase and Thy-1 antigen.

Renal dipeptidase is one of the membrane proteins released by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C.

Project description:Renal dipeptidase (dehydropeptidase-I, EC 3.4.13.11) was released from pig kidney membrane preparations by treatment with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C from Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus thuringiensis and a phospholipase C preparation from Bacillus cereus to a similar extent as alkaline phosphatase. Endopeptidase-24.11 and aminopeptidase N were not released by this treatment. After treatment of the membrane fraction with the S. aureus phospholipase C the dipeptidase was converted from an amphipathic to a hydrophilic form, as deduced from phase-separation experiments in Triton X-114. It is concluded that renal dipeptidase is anchored to the microvillar membrane by covalently attached phosphatidylinositol.

Isolation of cDNA encoding the catalytic site of phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C from Coffea arabica L.: Recombinant expression and peptide purification.

Project description:A cDNA encoding the catalytic site of a phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) was isolated from Coffea arabica suspension cells. The cDNA (designated CaPLC) encodes a polypeptide of 308 amino acids, containing the catalytic X and Y domains, and has 99% identity to the soybean gene. Recombinant CaPLC protein was expressed in Escherichia coli, purified, and used to produce a polyclonal antibody. The peptide has a molecular mass of 27 kDa on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and western blot analyses. Immunoblots revealed the presence of PLC-like proteins in the tissues of different plant species.

Release of alkaline phosphatase from membranes by a phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C.

Project description:Purified phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C from Staphylococcus aureus released a substantial proportion of the total alkaline phosphatase activity from a wide range of tissues from several mammalian species. Co-purification of the phospholipase C and alkaline phosphatase-releasing activities and the inhibition of both these activities by iso-osmotic salt solutions suggested that the releasing effect was unlikely to be due to a contaminant.

Major proteins of bovine seminal plasma inhibit phospholipase A2.

Project description:We have recently shown that the major proteins of bovine seminal plasma, namely BSP-A1, BSP-A2, BSP-A3 and BSP-30-kDa (collectively called BSP proteins) bind to spermatozoa and that the binding sites on the plasma membrane of spermatozoa are choline phospholipids. In view of the fact that these phospholipids are substrates for phospholipase A2 (PLA2), a key enzyme in sperm capacitation and the acrosome reaction, the effect of BSP proteins on this enzyme activity was investigated. Since these BSP proteins are ubiquitous, the effect on pig pancreatic PLA2 was also studied. In contrast with control proteins, when preincubated with phosphatidylcholine as substrate, all BSP proteins inhibited both pancreatic and sperm PLA2 activity in a dose-dependent manner and in the presence of 1-6 microM BSP protein the enzyme activity was completely abolished. When phosphatidylethanolamine was used as substrate, only pancreatic PLA2 was inhibited. On the other hand, when the BSP proteins were preincubated with the enzyme followed by addition of substrate, a biphasic effect was observed; there was stimulation of enzyme activity below 1.3 microM BSP followed by an inhibition above this concentration. The inhibitory activity was trypsin-sensitive but heat-resistant. The effect of co-incubation of heparin, which is implicated in sperm capacitation and which also interacts with BSP proteins, was studied. Heparin (10 microM) had no effect on the PLA2 inhibitory activity exhibited by all BSP proteins. The PLA2 inhibitory effect exhibited by BSP proteins was abolished with excess substrate. The BSP proteins were adsorbed on PLA2-agarose and could be affinity cross-linked to the enzyme, indicating a direct interaction of enzyme with the inhibitor. These results suggest that these BSP proteins modulate PLA2 activity and therefore, phospholipid metabolism.

VIPP1 rods engulf membranes containing phosphatidylinositol phosphates.

Project description:In cyanobacteria and plants, VIPP1 plays crucial roles in the biogenesis and repair of thylakoid membrane protein complexes and in coping with chloroplast membrane stress. In chloroplasts, VIPP1 localizes in distinct patterns at or close to envelope and thylakoid membranes. In vitro, VIPP1 forms higher-order oligomers of >1 MDa that organize into rings and rods. However, it remains unknown how VIPP1 oligomerization is related to function. Using time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy and sucrose density gradient centrifugation, we show here that Chlamydomonas reinhardtii VIPP1 binds strongly to liposomal membranes containing phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PI4P). Cryo-electron tomography reveals that VIPP1 oligomerizes into rods that can engulf liposomal membranes containing PI4P. These findings place VIPP1 into a group of membrane-shaping proteins including epsin and BAR domain proteins. Moreover, they point to a potential role of phosphatidylinositols in directing the shaping of chloroplast membranes.

Phospholipase C regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate-mediated chemotaxis.

Project description:Generation of a phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PI(3,4,5)P(3)] gradient within the plasma membrane is important for cell polarization and chemotaxis in many eukaryotic cells. The gradient is produced by the combined activity of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) to increase PI(3,4,5)P(3) on the membrane nearest the polarizing signal and PI(3,4,5)P(3) dephosphorylation by phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN) elsewhere. Common to both of these enzymes is the lipid phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P(2)], which is not only the substrate of PI3K and product of PTEN but also important for membrane binding of PTEN. Consequently, regulation of phospholipase C (PLC) activity, which hydrolyzes PI(4,5)P(2), could have important consequences for PI(3,4,5)P(3) localization. We investigate the role of PLC in PI(3,4,5)P(3)-mediated chemotaxis in Dictyostelium. plc-null cells are resistant to the PI3K inhibitor LY294002 and produce little PI(3,4,5)P(3) after cAMP stimulation, as monitored by the PI(3,4,5)P(3)-specific pleckstrin homology (PH)-domain of CRAC (PH(CRAC)GFP). In contrast, PLC overexpression elevates PI(3,4,5)P(3) and impairs chemotaxis in a similar way to loss of pten. PI3K localization at the leading edge of plc-null cells is unaltered, but dissociation of PTEN from the membrane is strongly reduced in both gradient and uniform stimulation with cAMP. These results indicate that local activation of PLC can control PTEN localization and suggest a novel mechanism to regulate the internal PI(3,4,5)P(3) gradient.

Phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C of Bacillus thuringiensis as a probe for the distribution of phosphatidylinositol in hepatocyte membranes.

Project description:Phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) produced by Bacillus thuringiensis has been used as a probe for the distribution of phosphatidylinositol in hepatocyte membranes. Approx. 50% of this phospholipid was hydrolysed in microsomal vesicles (endoplasmic reticulum) with no significant hydrolysis of the remaining membrane phospholipids. Latency of mannose-6-phosphatase was retained during treatment indicating that the vesicles remained impermeable. Stripping of the ribosomes did not increase hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol; however, when the vesicles were opened using dilute sodium carbonate, hydrolysis increased to greater than 90%. Hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol of Golgi membranes was 35% and of plasma membranes was 50%. After treatment with PI-PLC, radiolabelled secretory proteins were retained in Golgi membranes and trapped lactate dehydrogenase was retained in plasma-membrane preparations indicating that the vesicles remained closed. Hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol increased to greater than 90% when the membranes were opened by treatment with dilute sodium carbonate. These observations indicate that PI-PLC of Bacillus thuringiensis is a suitable probe for the distribution of phosphatidylinositol in membranes, and that in liver membranes this phospholipid occurs on each side of the bilayer, a topography consistent with its diverse roles.

Modification of erythrocyte membranes by a purified phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (Staphylococcus aureus).

Project description:A phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C from Staphylococcus aureus was purified by a three-step procedure. The specific activity of the purified enzyme was approx. 6000 times that of the culture supernatant, with an overall recovery of approx. 10%. Estimation of the molecular weight by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and by gel filtration gave values of 33000 and 20000 respectively. A thiol group appears to be necessary for the activity of the enzyme. The purified enzyme had no detectable delta-haemolytic activity and was unable to hydrolyse S. aureus phospholipids. Phosphatidyl-inositol in erythrocyte 'ghosts' was readily hydrolysed by the purified phospholipase C. However, in contrast with our previous preliminary observations, phosphatidylinositol in intact erythrocytes was not significantly hydrolysed. These results suggest that at least 75-80% of the phosphatidylinositol is located at the inner leaflet of the membrane.

Stimulation of NADH oxidase activity from rat liver plasma membranes by growth factors and hormones is decreased or absent with hepatoma plasma membranes.

Project description:Plasma membranes of rat liver isolated by aqueous two-phase partition exhibited basal levels of NADH oxidase activity that were increased approx. 2-fold by addition of hormones and growth factors to which liver cells were known to respond. In contrast, hepatoma plasma membranes demonstrated an intrinsically increased level of NADH oxidase, which was not stimulated further by addition of growth factors. The results suggest that the NADH oxidase of the hepatoma plasma membrane is no longer correctly coupled to hormone and growth-factor receptors. This biochemical defect may parallel the loss of growth control that is characteristic of neoplastic transformation in hepatocarcinogenesis and other transformation systems.

Phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C enhances epidermal penetration by Staphylococcus aureus.

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) commonly colonizes the human skin and nostrils. However, it is also associated with a wide variety of diseases. S. aureus is frequently isolated from the skin of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD), and is linked to increased disease severity. S. aureus impairs the skin barrier and triggers inflammation through the secretion of various virulence factors. S. aureus secretes phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC), which hydrolyses phosphatidylinositol and cleaves glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins. However, the role of S. aureus PI-PLC in the pathogenesis of skin diseases, including AD, remains unclear. In this study, we sought to determine the role of S. aureus PI-PLC in the pathogenesis of skin diseases. PI-PLC was observed to enhance the invasion and persistence of S. aureus in keratinocytes. Besides, PI-PLC promoted the penetration of S. aureus through the epidermal barrier in a mouse model of AD and the human organotypic epidermal equivalent. Furthermore, the loss of PI-PLC attenuated epidermal hyperplasia and the infiltration of Gr-1+ cells and CD4+ cells induced by S. aureus infection in the mouse model of AD. Collectively, these results indicate that PI-PLC eases the entry of S. aureus into the dermis and aggravates acanthosis and immune cell infiltration in infected skin.
