Abstract
The phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K), a heterodimeric enzyme, plays a pivotal role in cellular metabolism and survival. Its deregulation is associated with major human diseases, particularly cancer. The p85 regulatory subunit of PI3K binds to the catalytic p110 subunit via its C-terminal domains, stabilising it in an inhibited state. Certain Src homology 3 (SH3) domains can activate p110 by binding to the proline-rich (PR) 1 motif located at the N-terminus of p85. However, the mechanism by which this N-terminal interaction activates the C-terminally bound p110 remains elusive. Moreover, the intrinsically poor ligand selectivity of SH3 domains raises the question of how they can control PI3K. Combining structural, biophysical, and functional methods, we demonstrate that the answers to both these unknown issues are linked: PI3K-activating SH3 domains engage in additional "tertiary" interactions with the C-terminal domains of p85, thereby relieving their inhibition of p110. SH3 domains lacking these tertiary interactions may still bind to p85 but cannot activate PI3K. Thus, p85 uses a functional selection mechanism that precludes nonspecific activation rather than nonspecific binding. This separation of binding and activation may provide a general mechanism for how biological activities can be controlled by promiscuous protein-protein interaction domains.

Abstract
Tyrosine-based and trimeric G protein-based signaling are the two most widely studied and distinct mechanisms for signal transduction in eukaryotes. How each of them relay signals across the plasma membrane independently of each other has been extensively characterized; however, an understanding of how they work together remained obscure. Recently, a rapidly emerging paradigm has revealed that tyrosine based signals are relayed via G proteins, and that the cross-talk between the two hubs are more robustly and sophisticatedly integrated than was previously imagined. More importantly, by straddling the two signaling hubs that are most frequently targeted for their therapeutic significance, the tyrosine-based G-protein signaling pathway has its own growing list of pathophysiologic importance, both as therapeutic target in a variety of disease states, and by paving the way for personalized medicine. The fundamental principles of this emerging paradigm and its pharmacologic potential are discussed.

Abstract
The canonical action of the p85α regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) is to associate with the p110α catalytic subunit to allow stimuli-dependent activation of the PI3K pathway. We elucidate a p110α-independent role of homodimerized p85α in the positive regulation of PTEN stability and activity. p110α-free p85α homodimerizes via two intermolecular interactions (SH3:proline-rich region and BH:BH) to selectively bind unphosphorylated activated PTEN. As a consequence, homodimeric but not monomeric p85α suppresses the PI3K pathway by protecting PTEN from E3 ligase WWP2-mediated proteasomal degradation. Further, the p85α homodimer enhances the lipid phosphatase activity and membrane association of PTEN. Strikingly, we identified cancer patient-derived oncogenic p85α mutations that target the homodimerization or PTEN interaction surface. Collectively, our data suggest the equilibrium of p85α monomer-dimers regulates the PI3K pathway and disrupting this equilibrium could lead to disease development.

Abstract
Production of the phosphoinositide lipid phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)trisphosphate [PI(3,4,5)P3, or PIP3] by class I phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) is a major signaling mechanism whose deregulation contributes to serious diseases, including cancer. New findings suggest that tyrosine kinase receptor engagement results in the assembly of hetero-oligomeric PI3K complexes in which PI3Kα first activates PI3Kβ, and PI3K catalytic activity then promotes recruitment and activation of the PIP3-removing tumor suppressor PTEN. Thus, PIP3 production is fine-tuned through formation of an intrinsically regulated "PI3Ksome."

Abstract
The phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog) pathway is one of the central routes that enhances cell survival, division, and migration, and it is frequently deregulated in cancer. PI3K catalyzes formation of phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-triphosphate [PI(3,4,5)P3] after cell activation; PTEN subsequently reduces these lipids to basal levels. Activation of the ubiquitous p110α isoform precedes that of p110β at several points during the cell cycle. We studied the potential connections between p110α and p110β activation, and we show that cell stimulation promotes p110α and p110β association, demonstrating oligomerization of PI3K catalytic subunits within cells. Cell stimulation also promoted PTEN incorporation into this complex, which was necessary for PTEN activation. Our results show that PI3Ks dimerize in vivo and that PI3K and PTEN activities modulate each other in a complex that controls cell PI(3,4,5)P3 levels.

Abstract
Oncogenic mutations in PIK3CA lead to an increase in intrinsic phosphoinositide kinase activity, but it is thought that increased access of PI3Kα (phosphoinositide 3-kinase α) to its PM (plasma membrane) localized substrate is also required for increased levels of downstream PIP3/Akt [phosphoinositide-3,4,5-trisphosphate/also called PKB (protein kinase B)] signalling. We have studied the subcellular localization of wild-type and the two most common oncogenic mutants of PI3Kα in cells maintained in growth media, and starved or stimulated cells using a novel method in which PI3Kα is pre-formed as a 1:1 p110α:p85α complex in vitro then introduced into live cells by microinjection. Oncogenic E545K and H1047R mutants did not constitutively interact with membrane lipids in vitro or in cells maintained in 10% (v/v) FBS. Following stimulation of RTKs (receptor tyrosine kinases), microinjected PI3Kα was recruited to the PM, but oncogenic forms of PI3Kα were not recruited to the PM to a greater extent and did not reside at the PM longer than the wild-type PI3Kα. Instead, the E545K mutant specifically bound activated Cdc42 in vitro and microinjection of E545K was associated with the formation of cellular protrusions, providing some preliminary evidence that changes in protein–protein interactions may play a role in the oncogenicity of the E545K mutant in addition to the well-known changes in lipid kinase activity. Oncogenic forms of PI3Kα (phosphoinositide 3-kinase α) microinjected into live cells are not recruited to the PM (plasma membrane) to a greater extent, and do not reside at the PM longer, than wild-type PI3Kα.

Abstract
Background The α-isoform of the Type 1A Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Kα) has protein kinase activity as well as phosphoinositide lipid kinase activity. The best described substrate for its protein kinase activity is its regulatory subunit, p85α, which becomes phosphorylated on Serine 608. Phosphorylation of Serine 608 has been reported to down-regulate its lipid kinase activity. Results We have assessed whether oncogenic mutants of PI3Kα, which have up-regulated lipid kinase activity, have altered levels of Serine 608 phosphorylation compared to wild type PI3Kα, and whether differential phosphorylation of Serine 608 contributes to increased activity of oncogenic forms of PI3Kα with point mutations in the helical or the kinase domains. Despite markedly increased lipid kinase activity, protein kinase activity was not altered in oncogenic compared to wild type forms of PI3Kα. By manipulating levels of phosphorylation of Serine 608 in vitro, we found no evidence that the protein kinase activity of PI3Kα affects its phosphoinositide lipid kinase activity in either wild-type or oncogenic mutants of PI3Kα. Conclusions Phosphorylation of p85α S608 is not a significant regulator of wild-type or oncogenic PI3Kα lipid kinase activity.

Abstract
GIV (Gα-interacting vesicle-associated protein; also known as Girdin) enhances Akt activation downstream of multiple growth factor- and G protein (heterotrimeric guanosine 5'-triphosphate-binding protein)-coupled receptors to trigger cell migration and cancer invasion. We demonstrate that GIV is a tyrosine phosphoprotein that directly binds to and activates phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K). Upon ligand stimulation of various receptors, GIV was phosphorylated at tyrosine-1764 and tyrosine-1798 by both receptor and non-receptor tyrosine kinases. These phosphorylation events enabled direct binding of GIV to the amino- and carboxyl-terminal Src homology 2 domains of p85α, a regulatory subunit of PI3K; stabilized receptor association with PI3K; and enhanced PI3K activity at the plasma membrane to trigger cell migration. Tyrosine phosphorylation of GIV and its association with p85α increased during metastatic progression of a breast carcinoma. These results suggest a mechanism by which multiple receptors activate PI3K through tyrosine phosphorylation of GIV, thereby making the GIV-PI3K interaction a potential therapeutic target within the PI3K-Akt pathway.

Abstract
The cambial and daughter cells of normal epithelium function in the morphofunctional zone consisting of two subunits with 12 cambial cells in each. Daughter cells are differentiated in an electrical field created by 12 pairs of maternal and daughter cells, products of division of cambial cells located in the same subunit. The differentiation requires relaxation of the cortex of daughter cells via expression of SH3 domain of Src kinase by dermal daughter cells, which leads to a decrease in activity of RhoA in epidermal cells, their stretching, and activation of SH2 domain of Src responsible for differentiation. Reduction of the number of cambial cells to 6 and, consequently, weakening of electrical field produced by them to a threshold value corresponding to very weak stretching of daughter epithelial cells results in a decrease in SH2 domain expression in these cells and its kinase contribution in Src. This leads to an increase in RhoA relative to Src, enhances cell contraction, impairs formation of stress fibrils and focal contacts, reduces cell flattening, and increases cell mobility. The decrease in the number of microtubules, intermediate filaments, and stress-fibrils changes the major cell axis direction, which, in turn, sharply reduces nucleus stretching and leads to impaired chromosome looping out near the centromeres and telomeres; the cells acquires signs of an epitheliocyte and a fibroblast, protein transcription is impaired, and daughter cells are transformed into malignant cell.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI 3-kinases) are activated by growth factor and hormone receptors, and regulate cell growth, survival, motility, and responses to changes in nutritional conditions (Engelman et al. 2006). PI 3-kinases have been classified according to their subunit composition and their substrate specificity for phosphoinositides (Vanhaesebroeck et al. 2001). The class IA PI 3-kinase is a heterodimer consisting of one regulatory subunit (p85α, p85β, p55α, p50α, or p55γ) and one 110-kDa catalytic subunit (p110α, β or δ). The Class IB PI 3-kinase is also a dimer, composed of one regulatory subunit (p101 or p87) and one catalytic subunit (p110γ) (Wymann et al. 2003). Class I enzymes will utilize PI, PI[4]P, or PI[4,5]P2 as substrates in vitro, but are thought to primarily produce PI[3,4,5]P3 in cells.The crystal structure of the Class IB PI 3-kinase catalytic subunit p110γ was solved in 1999 (Walker et al. 1999), and crystal or NMR structures of the Class IA p110α catalytic subunit and all of the individual domains of the Class IA p85α regulatory subunit have been solved (Booker et al. 1992; Günther et al. 1996; Hoedemaeker et al. 1999; Huang et al. 2007; Koyama et al. 1993; Miled et al. 2007; Musacchio et al. 1996; Nolte et al. 1996; Siegal et al. 1998). However, a structure of an intact PI 3-kinase enzyme has remained elusive. In spite of this, studies over the past 10 years have lead to important insights into how the enzyme is regulated under physiological conditions. This chapter will specifically discuss the regulation of Class IA PI 3-kinase enzymatic activity, focusing on regulatory interactions between the p85 and p110 subunits and the modulation of these interactions by physiological activators and oncogenic mutations. The complex web of signaling downstream from Class IA PI 3-kinases will be discussed in other chapters in this volume.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5 trisphosphate [PtdIns(3,4,5)P3] is a potent membrane-bound signaling molecule transiently synthesized by phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) in response to extracellular agonists. PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 signals need to be strictly controlled. PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 recruits and binds effectors that function in oncogenic signaling pathways. PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 activates cell proliferation, growth, and migration as well as regulating insulin signaling. The inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase family of enzymes dephosphorylate and thereby modulate PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 levels, attenuating PI3-kinase-dependent signaling. PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 5-phosphatase enzyme activity can be assessed in vitro by analysis of the hydrolysis of radiolabeled or fluorescently labeled PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 and in vivo by visualization of the recruitment and turnover of the PtdIns(3,4,5)P3-specific biosensor GFP-PH/ ARNO or other PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 binding proteins at the plasma membrane.

Abstract
Axl is a receptor tyrosine kinase implicated in cell survival following growth factor withdrawal and other stressors. The binding of Axl's ligand, growth arrest-specific protein 6 (Gas6), results in Axl autophosphorylation, recruitment of signaling molecules, and activation of downstream survival pathways. Pull-down assays and immunoprecipitations using wildtype and mutant Axl transfected cells determined that Axl directly binds growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (Grb2) at pYVN and the p85 subunit of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3 kinase) at two pYXXM sites (pY779 and pY821). Also, p85 can indirectly bind to Axl via an interaction between p85's second proline-rich region and the N-terminal SH3 domain of Grb2. Further, Grb2 and p85 can compete for binding at the pY821VNM site. Gas6-stimulation of Axl-transfected COS7 cells recruited activated PI3 kinase and phosphorylated Akt. An interaction between Axl, p85 and Grb2 was confirmed in brain homogenates, enriched populations of O4+ oligodendrocytes, and O4- flow-through prepared from day 10 mouse brain, indicating that cells with active Gas6/Axl signal through Grb2 and the PI3 kinase/Akt pathways.

Abstract
Intracellular signal transduction proteins typically utilize multiple interaction domains for proper targeting, and thus a broad diversity of distinct signaling complexes may be assembled. Considering the coordination of only two such domains, as in tandem Src homology 2 (SH2) domain constructs, gives rise to a kinetic scheme that is not adequately described by simple models used routinely to interpret in vitro binding measurements. To analyze the interactions between tandem SH2 domains and bisphosphorylated peptides, we formulated detailed kinetic models and applied them to the phosphoinositide 3-kinase p85 regulatory subunit/platelet-derived growth factor beta-receptor system. Data for this system from different in vitro assay platforms, including surface plasmon resonance, competition binding, and isothermal titration calorimetry, were reconciled to estimate the magnitude of the cooperativity characterizing the sequential binding of the high and low affinity SH2 domains (C-SH2 and N-SH2, respectively). Compared with values based on an effective volume approximation, the estimated cooperativity is 3 orders of magnitude lower, indicative of significant structural constraints. Homodimerization of full-length p85 was found to be an alternative mechanism for high avidity binding to phosphorylated platelet-derived growth factor receptors, which would render the N-SH2 domain dispensable for receptor binding.

Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests that aberrant activation of PI3K/Akt is involved in many human cancers, and that inhibition of the PI3K/Akt pathway might be a promising strategy for cancer treatment. Our investigation indicates that Rhabdastrellic acid-A, an isomalabaricane triterpenoid isolated from the sponge, Rhabdastrella globostellata, inhibits proliferation of HL-60 cells with an IC(50) value of 0.68mug/ml, and induces apoptosis. Rhabdastrellic acid-A also induces cleavage of the death substrate poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and caspase-3. Pretreatment of HL-60 cells with the caspase-3 specific inhibitor, DEVD-CHO, prevents Rhabdastrellic acid-A-induced DNA fragmentation and PARP cleavage. Activated PI3K and Akt significantly decreases after treatment with Rhabdastrellic acid-A in HL-60 cells. Expression levels of protein bcl-2, bax remain unchanged in response to Rhabdastrellic acid-A treatment in HL-60 cells. These results suggest that Rhabdastrellic acid-A inhibits PI3K/Akt pathway and induces caspase-3 dependent-apoptosis in HL-60 human leukemia cells.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositide (PtdIns) 3-kinase catalyzes the addition of a phosphate group to the 3'-position of phosphatidyl inositol. Accumulated evidence shows that PtdIns 3-kinase can provide a critical signal for cell proliferation, cell survival, membrane trafficking, glucose transport, and membrane ruffling. Mammalian PtdIns 3-kinases are divided into three classes based on structure and substrate specificity. A unique characteristic of class II PtdIns 3-kinases is the presence of both a phox homolog domain and a C2 domain at the C terminus. The biological function of the C2 domain of the class II PtdIns 3-kinases remains to be determined. We have determined the crystal structure of the mCPK-C2 domain, which is the first three-dimensional structural model of a C2 domain of class II PtdIns 3-kinases. Structural studies reveal that the mCPK-C2 domain has a typical anti-parallel beta-sandwich fold. Scrutiny of the surface of this C2 domain has identified three small, shallow sulfate-binding sites. On the basis of the structural features of these sulfate-binding sites, we have studied the lipid binding properties of the mCPK-C2 domain by site-directed mutagenesis. Our results show that this C2 domain binds specifically to PtdIns(3,4)P(2) and PtdIns(4,5)P(2) and that three lysine residues at SBS I site, Lys-1420, Lys-1432, and Lys-1434, are responsible for the phospholipid binding affinity.

Abstract
Rho GTPases such as RhoA, Rac1 and Cdc42 are crucial players in the regulation of signal transduction pathways required for neuronal differentiation. Using an in vitro cell culture model of neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells, we demonstrated previously that RhoA is an in vivo substrate of tissue transglutaminase (TGase) and retinoic acid (RA) promoted activation of RhoA by transamidation. Although activation of RhoA promoted cytoskeletal rearrangement in SH-SY5Y cells, it was not involved in induction of neurite outgrowth. Here, we demonstrate that RA promotes activation of Rac1 in SH-SY5Y cells in a transamidation-independent manner. RA-induced activation of Rac1 is mediated by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), probably because of phosphorylation of the p85 regulatory subunit by Src kinases. Over-expression of constitutively active PI3K or Rac1-V12 induces neurite outgrowth, activation of mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs), and expression of neuronal markers. The PI3K inhibitor LY294002, or over-expression of dominant negative Rac1-N17, blocks RA-induced neurite outgrowth, activation of MAPKs, and expression of neuronal markers, suggesting that activation of PI3K/Rac1 signaling represents a potential mechanism for regulation of neuronal differentiation in SH-SY5Y cells.

Abstract
Endosomal trafficking is regulated by the recruitment of effector proteins to phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate [PtdIns(3)P] on early endosomes. At the plasma membrane, phosphatidylinositol-(3,4)-bisphosphate [PtdIns(3,4)P2] binds the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain-containing proteins Akt and TAPP1. Type Ialpha inositol polyphosphate 4-phosphatase (4-phosphatase) dephosphorylates PtdIns(3,4)P2, forming PtdIns(3)P, but its subcellular localization is unknown. We report here in quiescent cells, the 4-phosphatase colocalized with early and recycling endosomes. On growth factor stimulation, 4-phosphatase endosomal localization persisted, but in addition the 4-phosphatase localized at the plasma membrane. Overexpression of the 4-phosphatase in serum-stimulated cells increased cellular PtdIns(3)P levels and prevented wortmannin-induced endosomal dilatation. Furthermore, mouse embryonic fibroblasts from homozygous Weeble mice, which have a mutation in the type I 4-phosphatase, exhibited dilated early endosomes. 4-Phosphatase translocation to the plasma membrane upon growth factor stimulation inhibited the recruitment of the TAPP1 PH domain. The 4-phosphatase contains C2 domains, which bound PtdIns(3,4)P2, and C2-domain-deletion mutants lost PtdIns(3,4)P2 4-phosphatase activity, did not localize to endosomes or inhibit TAPP1 PH domain membrane recruitment. The 4-phosphatase therefore both generates and terminates phosphoinositide 3-kinase signals at distinct subcellular locations.

Abstract
The expected explosive increase in the number of patients with diabetes mellitus will increase the stress on health care. Treatment is focused on preventing vascular complications associated with the disorder. In order to develop better treatment regimens, the field of research has made a great effort in understanding this disorder. This chapter summarizes the current views on the insulin signaling pathway with emphasis on intracellular signaling events associated with insulin resistance, which lead to the prothrombotic condition in the vasculature of patience with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Class-I phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI 3-kinases) are dual specificity enzymes that possess both lipid and protein kinase activity. While the best characterized property of this protein kinase is as an autokinase activity, there have also been reports it can phosphorylate exogenous substrates including peptides, IRS-1 and PDE-3B. The identification of two novel potential protein substrates of PI 3-kinase is described here. By employing in vitro kinase assays using recombinant proteins as the substrates, it is shown that the translational regulator 4EBP1 becomes phosphorylated by the p110alpha and p110gamma isoforms of class-I PI 3-kinases. The lipid kinase activity of both these isoforms is increased by allosteric binding of H-Ras or betagamma subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins, but we find this is not the case for the protein kinase activity. Surprisingly though, a site on H-Ras is phosphorylated by p110alpha and p110gamma. This raises the possibility that these proteins could serve as physiological substrates for the protein kinase activity of PI 3-kinase and suggests this activity operates in a physiological context by phosphorylating substrates other than the PI 3-kinase itself. This may be particularly important in regulating the interaction of Ras with PI 3-kinase.

Abstract
One potentially important mechanism for regulating class Ia phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) activity is autophosphorylation of the p85 alpha adapter subunit on Ser608 by the intrinsic protein kinase activity of the p110 catalytic subunit, as this downregulates the lipid kinase activity in vitro. Here we investigate whether this phosphorylation can occur in vivo. We find that p110 alpha phosphorylates p85 alpha Ser608 in vivo with significant stoichiometry. However, p110 beta is far less efficient at phosphorylating p85 alpha Ser608, identifying a potential difference in the mechanisms by which these two isoforms are regulated. The p85 alpha Ser608 phosphorylation was increased by treatment with insulin, platelet-derived growth factor, and the phosphatase inhibitor okadaic acid. The functional effects of this phosphorylation are highlighted by mutation of Ser608, which results in reduced lipid kinase activity and reduced association of the p110 alpha catalytic subunit with p85 alpha. The importance of this phosphorylation was further highlighted by the finding that autophosphorylation on Ser608 was impaired, while lipid kinase activity was increased, in a p85 alpha mutant recently discovered in human tumors. These results provide the first evidence that phosphorylation of Ser608 plays a role as a shutoff switch in growth factor signaling and contributes to the differences in functional properties of different PI 3-kinase isoforms in vivo.

Abstract
Peptides corresponding to residues 65-79 of human lymphocyte antigen class II sequence (DQA*03011) are cell-permeable and at high concentrations block activation of protein kinase B/Akt and p70-S6 kinase in T-cells, effects attributed to inhibition of phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinase activity. To understand the molecular basis of this, we analyzed the effect this peptide had on activity of class I PI 3-kinases. Although there was no effect on the activity of class Ib PI 3-kinase or on the protein kinase activity of class I PI 3-kinases, there was a biphasic effect on lipid kinase activity of the class Ia enzymes. There was an inhibition of activity at higher peptide concentrations because of a formation of insoluble complexes between peptide and enzyme. Conversely, at lower peptide concentrations there was a profound activation of PI 3-kinase activity of class Ia PI 3-kinases. Studies of peptide variants revealed that all active peptides conform to heptad repeat motifs characteristic of coiled-coil helices. Surface plasmon resonance studies confirmed direct sequence-specific binding of active peptide to the p85alpha adapter subunit of class Ia PI 3-kinase. Active peptides also activated protein kinase B and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) in vivo in a wortmannin-sensitive manner while reducing recoverable cellular p85 levels. These results indicate that the human lymphocyte antigen class II-derived peptides regulate PI 3-kinase by direct interaction, probably via the coiled-coil domain. These peptides define a novel mechanism of regulating PI 3-kinase and will provide a useful tool for specifically dissecting the function of class Ia PI 3-kinase in cells and for probing structure-function relationships in the class Ia PI 3-kinase heterodimers.

Abstract
The platelet receptor for the von Willebrand factor (VWF) glycoprotein Ib-IX-V (GPIb-IX-V) complex mediates platelet adhesion at sites of vascular injury. The cytoplasmic tail of the GPIbalpha subunit interacts with the actin-binding protein, filamin, anchoring the receptor in the cytoskeleton. In motile cells, the second messenger phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5 trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3) induces submembraneous actin remodeling. The inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase, Src homology 2 domain-containing inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase-2 (SHIP-2), hydrolyzes PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 forming phosphatidylinositol 3,4 bisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4)P2) and regulates membrane ruffling via complex formation with filamin. In this study we investigate the intracellular location and association of SHIP-2 with filamin, actin, and the GPIb-IX-V complex in platelets. Immunoprecipitation of SHIP-2 from the Triton-soluble fraction of unstimulated platelets demonstrated association between SHIP-2, filamin, actin, and GPIb-IX-V. SHIP-2 associated with filamin or GPIb-IX-V was active and demonstrated PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 5-phosphatase activity. Following thrombin or VWF-induced platelet activation, detection of the SHIP-2, filamin, and receptor complex decreased in the Triton-soluble fraction, although in control studies the level of SHIP-2, filamin, or GPIb-IX-V immunoprecipitated by their respective antibodies did not change following platelet activation. In activated platelets spreading on a VWF matrix, SHIP-2 localized intensely with actin at the central actin ring and colocalized with actin and filamin at filopodia and lamellipodia. In spread platelets, GPIb-IX-V localized to the center of the platelet and showed little colocalization with filamin at the plasma membrane. These studies demonstrate a functionally active complex between SHIP-2, filamin, actin, and GPIb-IX-V that may orchestrate the localized hydrolysis of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 and thereby regulate cortical and submembraneous actin.

Abstract
Class IA phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) is a heterodimer composed of a p85 regulatory and a p110 catalytic subunit that regulates a variety of cell responses, including cell division and survival. PI3K is activated following Tyr kinase stimulation and by Ras. We found that the C-terminal region of p85, including the C-Src homology 2 (C-SH2) domain and part of the inter-SH2 region, protects the p110 catalytic subunit from Ras-induced activation. Although the p110 activity associated with a C-terminal p85 deletion mutant increased significantly in the presence of an active form of Ras, purified wild type p85-p110 was only slightly stimulated by active Ras. Nonetheless, incubation of purified p85-p110 with Tyr-phosphorylated peptides, which mimic the activated platelet-derived growth factor receptor, restored Ras-induced p85-p110 activation. In conclusion, p85 inhibits p110 activation by Ras; this blockage is released by Tyr kinase stimulation, showing that the classical mechanism of class IA PI3K stimulation mediated by Tyr kinases also regulates Ras-induced PI3K activation.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) type IA is a heterodimer of a catalytic subunit, p110, and a regulatory subunit, p85. Here we show that p85 contains a GTPase-responsive domain and an inhibitory domain, which together form a molecular switch that regulates PI3K. H-Ras and Rac1 activate PI3K by targeting the GTPase-responsive domain. The stimulatory effect of these molecules, however, is blocked by the inhibitory domain, which functions by binding to tyrosine-phosphorylated molecules and is neutralized by tyrosine phosphorylation. The complementary effects of tyrosine kinases and small GTPases on the p85 molecular switch result in synergy between these two classes of molecules toward the activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway.

Abstract
The D3-phosphoinositides act as second messengers by recruiting, and thereby activating, diverse signaling proteins. We have previously described the purification of a rat phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate [PtdIns(3)P] 3-phosphatase, comprising a heterodimer of a 78-kDa adapter subunit in complex with a 65-kDa catalytic subunit. Here, we have cloned and characterized the cDNA encoding the human 3-phosphatase adapter subunit (3-PAP). Sequence alignment showed that 3-PAP shares significant sequence similarity with the protein and lipid 3-phosphatase myotubularin, and with several other members of the myotubularin gene family including SET-binding factor 1. However, unlike myotubularin, 3-PAP does not contain a consensus HCX(5)R catalytic motif. The 3-PAP sequence contains several motifs that predict interaction with proteins containing Src homology-2 (SH2) domains, phosphotyrosine-binding (PTB) domains, members of the 14-3-3 family, as well as proteins with SET domains. Northern blot analysis identified two transcripts (5.5 kb and 2.5 kb) with highest abundance in human liver, kidney, lung, and placenta. 3-PAP immunoprecipitates isolated from platelet cytosol hydrolyzed the D3-phosphate from PtdIns(3)P and PtdIns 3,4-bisphosphate [PtdIns(3,4)P(2)]. However, insect cell-expressed 3-PAP recombinant protein was catalytically inactive, confirming our prior prediction that this polypeptide represents an adapter subunit.

Abstract
The N-terminal src homology 2 (SH2) domain of the p85 subunit of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) has a higher affinity for a peptide with two phosphotyrosines than for the same peptide with only one. This unexpected result was not observed for the C-terminal SH2 from the same protein. NMR structural analysis has been used to understand the behavior of the N-SH2. The structure of the free SH2 domain has been compared to that of the SH2 complexed with a doubly phosphorylated peptide derived from polyomavirus middle T antigen (MT). The structure of the free SH2 domain shows some differences from previous NMR and X-ray structures. In the N-SH2 complexed with a doubly phosphorylated peptide, a second site for phosphotyrosine interaction has been identified. Further, line shapes of NMR signals showed that the SH2 protein-ligand complex is subject to temperature-dependent conformational mobility. Conformational mobility is also supported by the spectra of the ligand peptide. A binding model which accounts for these results is developed.

Abstract
The inositol-polyphosphate 5-phosphatase enzyme family removes the 5-position phosphate from both inositol phosphate and phosphoinositide signaling molecules. We have cloned and characterized a novel 5-phosphatase, which demonstrates a restricted substrate specificity and tissue expression. The 3.9-kb cDNA predicts for a 72-kDa protein with an N-terminal proline rich domain, a central 5-phosphatase domain, and a C-terminal CAAX motif. The 3. 9-kilobase mRNA showed a restricted expression but was abundant in testis and brain. Antibodies against the sequence detected a 72-kDa protein in the testis in the detergent-insoluble fraction. Indirect immunofluorescence of the Tera-1 cell line using anti-peptide antibodies to the 72-kDa 5-phosphatase demonstrated that the enzyme is predominantly located to the Golgi. Expression of green fluorescent protein-tagged 72-kDa 5-phosphatase in COS-7 cells revealed that the enzyme localized predominantly to the Golgi, mediated by the N-terminal proline-rich domain, but not the C-terminal CAAX motif. In vitro, the protein inserted into microsomal membranes on the cytoplasmic face of the membrane. Immunoprecipitated recombinant 72-kDa 5-phosphatase hydrolyzed phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3, 5-bisphosphate, forming phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate, respectively. We propose that the novel 5-phosphatase hydrolyzes phosphatidylinositol 3,4, 5-trisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate on the cytoplasmic Golgi membrane and thereby may regulate Golgi-vesicular trafficking.

Abstract
The class II phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3K) PI3K-C2alpha and PI3K-C2beta are two recently identified members of the large PI3K family. Both enzymes are characterized by the presence of a C2 domain at the carboxy terminus and, in vitro, preferentially utilize phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositol 4-monophosphate as lipid substrates. Little is understood about how the catalytic activity of either enzyme is regulated in vivo. In this study, we demonstrate that PI3K-C2alpha and PI3K-C2beta represent two downstream targets of the activated epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor in human carcinoma-derived A431 cells. Stimulation of quiescent cultures with EGF resulted in the rapid recruitment of both enzymes to a phosphotyrosine signaling complex that contained the EGF receptor and Erb-B2. Ligand addition also induced the appearance of a second, more slowly migrating band of PI3K-C2alpha and PI3K-C2beta immunoreactivity on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Since both PI3K enzymes can utilize Ca(2+) as an essential divalent cation in lipid kinase assays and since the catalytic activity of PI3K-C2alpha is refractory to the inhibitor wortmannin, these properties were used to confirm the recruitment of each PI3K isozyme to the activated EGF receptor complex. To examine this interaction in greater detail, PI3K-C2beta was chosen for further investigation. EGF and platelet-derived growth factor also stimulated the association of PI3K-C2beta with their respective receptors in other cells, including epithelial cells and fibroblasts. The use of EGF receptor mutants and phosphopeptides derived from the EGF receptor and Erb-B2 demonstrated that the interaction with recombinant PI3K-C2beta occurs through E(p)YL/I phosphotyrosine motifs. The N-terminal region of PI3K-C2beta was found to selectively interact with the EGF receptor in vitro, suggesting that it mediates the association of this PI3K with the receptor. However, the mechanism of this interaction remains unclear. We conclude that class II PI3K enzymes may contribute to the generation of 3' phosphoinositides following the activation of polypeptide growth factor receptors in vivo and thus mediate certain aspects of their biological activity.

Abstract
In recent years, a large family of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) isozymes has been characterized and cloned. Several of these PI3K enzymes have overlapping tissue distributions and it remains unclear if and how their 3-phosphoinositide products elicit differential, intracellular effects. One possibility is that the PI3K enzymes display a restricted distribution within the cell to produce their 3-phospholipid products in specific, subcellular compartments. In the present study we characterize the subcellular distribution of the novel class II PI3K isozyme PI3K-C2alpha in several mammalian cell types. Differential centrifugation of COS-1 and U937 cells together with Western blot analysis demonstrated that PI3K-C2alpha is constitutively associated with phospholipid membranes. Centrifugation of rat brain homogenates and Western blotting revealed that in contrast to the class IA PI3K enzymes, PI3K-C2alpha could be co-purified with a population of clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs). Furthermore, a PI3K activity refractory to wortmannin treatment was detected in CCV preparations consistent with the presence of the PI3K-C2alpha isozyme. These biochemical observations were supported by immunofluorescence analysis that revealed PI3K-C2alpha to have a punctate distribution and an enrichment of immunoreactivity within a perinuclear site consistent with its presence in the endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi apparatus. Dual label immunofluorescence demonstrated that in this region, the distribution of PI3K-C2alpha closely paralleled that of gamma-adaptin, a component of the AP-1 adaptor that is present in the trans-Golgi and the trans-Golgi network (TGN) resident protein TGN-46. Neither the phospholipid association nor the subcellular localization of PI3K-C2alpha was dependent upon either its COOH-terminal PX or C2 domains. Mutants lacking these domains demonstrated a similar distribution to the wild type enzyme when expressed as recombinant proteins. Treatment of cells with brefeldin A disrupted the perinuclear staining pattern of both PI3K-C2alpha and the AP-1 complex demonstrating that the localization of both molecules at the TGN is dependent upon ADP-ribosylation factor GTPase activity.

Abstract
Abstract
Transmembrane adapter proteins are a class of molecules that mediate signals from an extracellular receptor to the cytoplasm of the cell. We have cloned a novel transmembrane adapter protein called KAP10, a ∼10-kDa protein that is encoded within 100 bp of the DAP12 locus on human chromosome 19. KAP10 is predominantly expressed in immune cells, including NK cells, T cells, and monocytes. We show that KAP10, unlike other transmembrane adapter proteins, binds phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase following phosphorylation of a cytoplasmic YINM motif, which results in activation of Akt. In addition, we identify KAP10 as being able to bind the adapter protein Grb2. Based on our data, we suggest that this molecule is involved in stimulation and costimulation in cells of both myeloid and lymphoid origin.
