    Notes: Inositol glycerolipids make up less than 10% of total phospholipids of Paramecium tetraurelia cells. Unlike inositol lipids found in mammalian and other cell types, these lipids from Paramecium lack arachidonic acid. It was demonstrated that kinase and possibly phosphatase enzymes that interconvert phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidylinositol phosphate (PI-P) and phosphati-dylinositol-bis-phosphate (PI-P2) exist in ciliary membranes of this ciliate. When exogenous soybean PI and [γ-32P]ATP were provided as substrates, isolated cilia preparations exhibited PI and PI-P kinase activities as demonstrated by the incorporation of radiolabel into PI-P and PI-P2. Kinase activity was activated by millimolar [Mg2+] and inhibited by millimolar [Ca2+]. Significant inhibition of kinase activity in the presence of unlabeled excess ATP suggested that ATP is the preferred phosphate donor for this reaction. Of 4 suborganellar fractions of isolated cilia, the membrane fraction had the greatest kinase activity indicating that the enzyme(s) is membrane-associated

    Notes: The endocytosis and intracellular transport of mannose-6-phosphate conjugated to bovine serum albumin (Man-6-P:BSA) by mouse T-lymphoma cells were investigated in detail using several methods of analysis, both morphological and biochemical. Man-6-P:BSA was labeled with fluorescein or 125I and used to locate both surface and intracellular Man-6-P binding sites by light or electron microscopy, respectively. Incubation of cells with either fluorescent or 125I-labeled Man-6-P:BSA at 0°C revealed a uniform distribution of the Man-6-P binding sites over the cell surface. Competition experiments indicate that the Man-6-P:BSA binding sites on the cell surface are the same receptors that can recognize lysosomal hydrolases. After as little as 1 min incubation at 37°C, endocytosis of Man-6-P binding sites was clearly observed to occur through regions of the plasma membrane and via vesicles that also bound anticlathrin antibody. After a 5-15-min incubation of cells at 37°C, the internalized ligand was detected first in the cis region of the Golgi apparatus and then in the Golgi stacks using both autoradiography and immunocytochemistry to visualize the ligand. The appearance of Man-6-P:BSA in the Golgi region after 15-30 min was confirmed by subcellular fractionation, which demonstrated an accumulation of Man-6-P:BSA in light membrane fractions that corresponded with the Golgi fractions. After a 30-min incubation at 37°C, the internalized Man-6-P binding sites were localized primarily in lysosomal structures whose membrane but not lumen co-stained for acid phosphatase. These results demonstrate a temporal participation of clathrin-containing coated vesicles during the initial endocytosis of Man-6-P binding sites and that one step in the Man-6-P:BSA transport pathway between plasma membrane and the lysosomal structure can involve a transit through the Golgi stacks.

    Isolation of Thy-1 caps and analysis of their phospholipid composition in mouse T-lymphoma cells (1988)

    Notes: In this study we have used a density perturbation method to isolate anti-Thy-1 antibody-induced Thy-1 caps from mouse T-lymphoma cells in the absence of detergents, and then compared the phospholipid composit on of these capped membranes with that of uncapped membranes. Initial phospholipid analysis by two-dimensional thin layer chromatography (2-D TLC) reveals a significant increase in the amount of 32P-labeled phosphatidylcholine in the Thy-1 capped membrane. In contrast, no significant changes are observed in the labeling of phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylethanolamine, or the sphingomyelins. Therefore, it is suggested that phosphatidylcholine may be involved in the organization and/or regulation of Thy-1 antigen redistribution. The composition of phosphoinositide in uncapped and capped membranes was analysed separately using one-dimensional thin layer chromatography (1-D TLC) to resolve phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PIP), and phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate (PIP2) from all other phospholipids. This analysis reveals a significant reduction in levels of PIP and PIP2, but not PI, in Thy-1 caps. Through the use of ion exchange column chromatography, we have found an increased production of all three species of inositol phosphates during anti-Thy-1 antibody-induced capping. Inositol 1, 4, 5 -triphosphate (IP3) shows the most significant increase, compared to the much smaller increases in inositol 4, 5-bisphosphate (IP2) and inositol monophosphate (IP). These results suggest that the binding of anti-Thy-1 antibody to Thy-1 antigen activates phospholipase C which, in turn, initiates polyphosphoinositide turnover and IP3 production. It is proposed that these observed effects are the result of early signal transducing events which are prerequisite steps in Thy-1 receptor cap formation.
