Many agonists have been known to activate the hydrolysis of membrane phospholipids through the bindings with corresponding receptors on the various cells. Diacylglycerol and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate(IP3) generated by the action of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) are well known second messengers for the activation of protein kinase C and the mobilization of Ca2+ in many cells. Three types of PI-PLC isozyme (${\alpha}$,${\gamma}$, and $\delta$) and several subtrpes for each type have been identified from mammalian sources by purification of enzymes and cloning of their cDNAs. Each type PI-PLC isozyme is coupled to different receptors and mediators, for example, ${\beta}$-types are coupled to the seven-transmembrane-receptors via Gq family of G-proteins and ${\beta}$-types directly to the receptor tyrosine kinases. Specific modulators for the signaling pathway through each type of PI-PLC should be very useful as potential potential candidates for lend substances in developing novel drugs. To establish the sensitive and convenient screening systems for searching modulators on PI-PLC mediated signaling, two kinds of approaches have been tried. (1) Establishment of in vitro assay condition for each type of PI-PLC isozyme: Overexpression by using vaccinia virus and purification of each isozyme was carried out for the preparation of large amounts of enaymes. Optimum and sensitive assay condition for the measurements of PI-ELC activities were established. (2) Development of the cell lines in which each type of PI-PLC is permanently overexpressed: A fibroblast cell line (3T3${\gamma}$1-7) in which PI-PLC-${\gamma}$1 was overexpressed by using pZip-neo expression vector was developed and used for the measurement of PDGF-induced IP3 formation. The responses for IP3 formed in 3T3${\gamma}$1-7 cells by the treatment of PDGF is 8 times more sensitive than those in control cells. 3T3${\gamma}$l-7 cell is useful for the screening of the inhibitors on the PDGF-induced cellular responses from large number of samples in a small volume(50 ${\mu}$l) and short time(5-15 min). Using these systems, we screened hundreds of herb-extracts for the inhibition of PDGF-induced IP3 formation and selected several extracts that showed the inhibition as the candidates for isolation and characterization of active substances. The determination of the acting point of selected extracts or fractions in the PDGF signaling pathway has been analyzing.

Lipid components in biological membranes are essential for maintaining cellular function. Phosphoinositides, the phosphorylated derivatives of phosphatidylinositol (PI), regulate many critical cell processes involving membrane signaling, trafficking, and reorganization. Multiple metabolic pathways including phosphoinositide kinases and phosphatases and phospholipases tightly control spatio-temporal concentration of membrane phosphoinositides. Metabolizing enzymes responsible for PI 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) production or degradation play a regulatory role in Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling and trafficking. These enzymes include PI 4-phosphate 5-kinase, phosphatase and tensin homolog, PI 3-kinase, and phospholipase C. PI(4,5)P2 mediates the interaction with target cytosolic proteins to induce their membrane translocation, regulate vesicular trafficking, and serve as a precursor for other signaling lipids. TLR activation is important for the innate immune response and is implicated in diverse pathophysiological disorders. TLR signaling is controlled by specific interactions with distinct signaling and sorting adaptors. Importantly, TLR signaling machinery is differentially formed depending on a specific membrane compartment during signaling cascades. Although detailed mechanisms remain to be fully clarified, phosphoinositide metabolism is promising for a better understanding of such spatio-temporal regulation of TLR signaling and trafficking.

A number of signaling molecules contain small pleckstrin homology (PH) domains capable of binding phosphoinositides or proteins. Phospholipase C (PLC)-${\gamma}1$ has two putative PH domains, an $NH_2$-terminal (PH1) and a split PH domain ($nPH_2$ and $cPH_2$). We previously reported that the split PH domain of PLC-${\gamma}1$ binds to phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI(4)P) and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)$P_2$) (Chang et al., 2002). To identify the amino acid residues responsible for binding with PI(4)P and PI(4,5)$P_2$, we used site-directed mutagenesis to replace each amino acid in the variable loop-1 (VL-1) region of the PLC-${\gamma}1$ $nPH_2$ domain with alanine (a neutral amino acid). The phosphoinositide-binding affinity of these mutant molecules was analyzed by Dot-blot assay followed by ECL detection. We found that two PLC-${\gamma}1$ nPH2 domain mutants, P500A and H503A, showed reduced affinities for phosphoinositide binding. Furthermore, these mutant PLC-${\gamma}1$ molecules showed reduced PI(4,5)$P_2$ hydrolysis. Using green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusion protein system, we showed that both $PH_1$ and $nPH_2$ domains are responsible for membrane-targeted translocation of PLC-${\gamma}1$ upon serum stimulation. Together, our data reveal that the amino acid residues $Pro^{500}$ and $His^{503}$ are critical for binding of PLC-${\gamma}1$ to one of its substrates, PI(4,5)$P_2$ in the membrane.

Tissue extracts were prepared from liquid-cultured Arabidopsis and reacted with UDP-[$^3H$]-GlcNAc. Phospholipid fractions were then extracted by butanol partitioning. Consecutive thin-layer chromatography identified two glycolipids sensitive to PI-specific phospholipase C, known as early intermediates in glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor biosynthesis; phosphatidylinositol N-acetylglucosamine and phosphatidylinositol glucosamine.

The C-terminus ends of the second putative transmembrane domains of both m1 and m2 muscarinic receptors contain a triplet of amino acid residues consisting of leucine (L), tyrosine (Y) and threonine (T), This triplet is repeated as LYT-LYT in m2 receptors at the interface between the second transmembrane domain and the first extracellular loop. Interestingly, however, it is repeated in a transposed fashion (LYT-TYL) in the sequence of m1 receptors. In this work we employed site-directed mutagenesis to investigate the possible significance of this unique sequence diversity for determining the distinct differential drug-receptor interaction and cellular function at m1 muscarinic receptor. Mutation of the LYTTYL sequence of m1 receptors to the corresponding m2 receptor LYTLYT sequence, however, did not result in a significant change in the binding affinity of the agonist carbachol or in the affinity of the majority of a series of receptor antagonists which are able to discriminate between wild-type m1 and m2 receptors. Surprisingly, the LYTLYT ml receptor mutant demonstrated markedly enhanced coupling to activation of phospholipase C without a change in its coupling to increased cyclic AMP formation. There was also an enhanced receptor sensitivity in transducing elevation of intracellular Ca$\^$2+/. These changes were not due to alterations in the rate of receptor. desensitization or sequestration, On the other hand, the reverse LYTLYT-LYTTYL mutation in the m2 receptor did not alter its coupling to inhibition of adenylate cyclase, but slightly enhanced its coupling to stimulation of PI hydrolysis, Our data suggest that the LYTTYL/LYTLYT sequence difference between ml and n12 muscarinic receptors is not involved in determining receptor pharmacology. On the other hand, while these differences might play a role in the modulation of muscarinic receptor coupling to PI hydrolysis, they are not important for specifying coupling of various subtypes of muscarinic receptors to different cellular signaling pathways.

연구배경: NAD glycohydrolase(NADase)는 세포 표면에 위치하며 glycosylphatidylinositol(GPI)로 세포표면에 부착되어 있으며 bacterial PI-specific phospholipase C(PI-PLC)에 의해 분리된다. 최근 결핵환자에서 NADase가 증가한다는 보고가 있었으나 결핵균자체가 NADase가 높기 때문에 절대적인 NADase치가 증가했는 지는 확실치 않다. 따라서 저자들은 정상 대조군과 결핵환자의 적혈구에서 순수한 NADase activity를 측정하였다. 방법: 19명의 정상 건강 대조군과 16명의 과거 결핵의 진단 및 치료를 받지 않은 결핵환자를 대상으로하여 NADase activity를 측정하였고 결핵환자는 결핵치료 3개월후 재 검사하였다. NADase activity는 [carbonyl-$^3H$] nicotinamide 동위원소를 사용하여 측정하였다. 결과: 건강 대조군에서 $2031{\pm}824.0pmol/min/10^6$ erythrocytes, 결핵 감염군에서 $3339{\pm}1568.0$, 그리고 isoniazide와 rifampin으로 치료한 3개월 후 $2238.6{\pm}1013.1$을 얻어 결핵 감염시 NADase activity가 유의한 차이를 가지고 증가하며(p<0.05), 치료전에 비하여 치료후 유의있게 감소하였다. 결론: 결핵감염시 NADase activity가 올라가고 결핵 치료시 NADase activity가 정상화 되어 NADase activity가 결핵감염의 진단 및 치료에 대한 새로운 지표가 될수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The protein p104 was first isolated as a binding partner of the Src homology domain of phospholipase C$\gamma$1, and has been shown to associate with p85$\alpha$, Grb2. The ectopic expression of p104 reduced cellular growth rate, which was also achieved with the overexpression of only the proline-rich region of p104. The proline-rich region of p104 has been found to inhibit the colony formation of platelet-derived growth factor BB-stimulated NIH3T3 cells and MCF7 cancer cells on soft agar. Mutagenesis analysis showed that the second and third proline-rich regions are essential for growth control, as well as for interaction with p85$\alpha$. Overexpression of p104 increased the level of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, $p27^{Kip1}$, and inhibited the activity of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K). In summary, p104 interacts with p85$\alpha$ and is involved in the regulation of $p27^{Kip1}$ expression for the reduction of cellular proliferation.

미꾸라지 (mudloach, Misgunus mizolepis)의 간으로부터 클로닝한 phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C$\delta$ (ML-PLC$\delta$)를 대장균 (E. coli)에서 과발현시켜 만든 재조합 ML-PLC$\delta$와 미꾸라지 간 조직으로부터 직접 정제한 ML-PLC$\delta$의 생화학적 특성을 비교분석하였다. 우선, pET28a vector (Novagen)를 이용하여 E. coli BL21(DE3)에서 과발현된 재조합 ML-PLC$\delta$은 $Ni^{2+}$-NTA affinity 크로마토그래피 및 gel filtration 칼럼에 의해서 정제되었다. 미꾸라지 간 조직으로 ML-PLC$\delta$는 open heparin 칼럼 및 분석용 heparin 칼럼등을 통하여 부분 정제하였다. 두개의 재조합 및 wild ML-PLC$\delta$는 phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bis-phosphate ($PIP_2$)에 대한 농도 의존적 PLC 활성을 보여주었고, 그 활성은 포유류 PLC$\delta$ 효소와 유사하게 칼슘 농도에 의존적인 활성을 나타내었다. 재조합 및 wild ML-PLC$\delta$는 각각 pH 7.0 및 7.5에서 가장 큰 PI-가수분해 활성을 나타낸다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 게다가, 재조합 및 wild ML-PLC$\delta$는 sodium doecylcholate (SDC) 및 phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylcholine (PC)와 같은 지질류에 대하여 농도의존적인 활성을 나타내나, spermine과 같은 polyamine류의 존재하에서는 농도 의존적으로 PLC 활성이 감소됨을 알 수 있었다. 미꾸라지 각 기관들의 ML-PLC$\delta$의 발현양상 및 양등을 측정하여 보았을 때 ML-PLC$\delta$는 포유류 PLC$\delta$와 마찬가지로 다양한 형태의 PLC$\delta$가 존재함을 알 수 있었다. 이와 같은 결과들로 미루어서 미꾸라지로부터 얻은 ML-PLC$\delta$는 포유류의 PLC$\delta$ isozymes과 유사한 형태의 생화학적 특성을 가지나, 포유류 PLC$\delta$1과 PLC$\delta$3 isozyme의 생화학적 특성을 함께 가짐을 알 수 있었다.

The signaling components of high affinity IgE receptor (Fc RI) were searched by yeast-hybrid screening of the cDNA library constructed from RBL-2H3 cells. The cytoplasmic part of the Fc RI- chain was found to specifically interact with PLC 2, and further comparatives studies were conducted focusing on the differential regulation of two PLC- isoforms through Fc RI. The inhibitors of Src, Syk, and protein kinase C similarly affected the tyrosine phosporylations of PLC 1 and PLC 2 but the inhibitors of PI3-kinase and p42/44 ERK effectively inhibited the activation of PLC 1 but not PLC 2.
