From the Calmodulin and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase are
vital components of a number of common intracellular events.
Calmodulin, a ubiquitous Ca2+-dependent
effector protein, regulates multiple processes in eukaryotic cells,
including cytoskeletal organization, vesicular trafficking, and
mitogenesis. Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase participates in events
downstream of the receptors for insulin and other growth factors. Here
we demonstrate by coimmunoprecipitation and affinity chromatography
that Ca2+/calmodulin associates with Src homology 2 domains in the 85-kDa regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol
3-kinase, thereby significantly enhancing phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase
activity in vitro and in intact cells. Furthermore,
CGS9343B, a calmodulin antagonist, inhibited basal and
Ca2+-stimulated phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol in
intact cells. These data demonstrate a novel mechanism for
modulating phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and provide a direct link
between components of two fundamental signaling pathways.
A critical aspect of protein and/or lipid kinase regulation is the
tight coupling of catalytic activity to various extracellular or
intracellular signals. Alterations in levels of intracellular free
Ca2+
([Ca2+]i)1
mediate the action of several hormones through the regulation of key
enzymes; these signaling events are often orchestrated by the
Ca2+ effector, calmodulin (CaM) (1). Activation of
phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) in many tissues and cell
types is required for mitogenesis, neuronal differentiation, and
enhanced glucose transport (2). PI3-kinase and CaM are common
components of several fundamental intracellular processes. For example,
wortmannin, an inhibitor of PI3-kinase, and CGS9343B impede
insulin-induced glucose uptake (3-5). Both CaM (6, 7) and PI3-kinase
(8) participate in early endosome fusion. In the cytoskeleton,
PI3-kinase has been linked to actin rearrangement (9), binds Sf9 cells were maintained in
Grace's medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and infected
with baculovirus as described previously (19). CHO cells were grown to
80% confluence in Ham's F-12 medium with 10% fetal bovine serum. 32D
cells and 32D cells expressing rat IRS-1 (32D/IRS-1) were cultured as
described previously (20). The medium was removed, cells were
washed 3 times with phosphate-buffered saline, and 1 ml of lysis buffer
(50 mM Tris base, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM sodium orthovanadate, 1 mM
phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, 0.1 µg/ml leupeptin, aprotonin, and
pepstatin, and 1% Triton X-100) was added. Where indicated
CaCl2 or EGTA was included. The cells were collected and
quick-frozen in methanol/dry CO2.
The specific anti-calmodulin monoclonal antibody
has been previously described (21). The anti-myoglobin monoclonal
antibody (IgG1 Cell lysates were incubated for 2 h at
4 °C with 20 µl of CaM-Sepharose or Sepharose alone in the
presence of 0.1 mM CaCl2 or 1 mM
EGTA. GST fusion proteins were incubated with CaM-Sepharose for 1 h at 25 °C in the presence of 0.1 mM CaCl2
or 1 mM EGTA. Samples were washed 5 times in lysis buffer
containing 0.1 mM CaCl2 or 1 mM
EGTA, resolved by SDS-PAGE, and immunoblotted as described below.
Equal amounts of
protein lysate were immunoprecipitated with either anti-CaM monoclonal
antibody, anti-myoglobin monoclonal antibody, anti-p85 antibody, or
preimmune serum. Samples were washed five times in lysis buffer,
resolved by SDS-PAGE, and transferred to PVDF, and immunoblots were
probed with anti-p85, anti-p110, or anti-CaM antibody. Complexes were
visualized with the appropriate horseradish peroxidase-conjugated
secondary antibody and developed by ECL.
Anti-CaM immunoprecipitates, anti-p85
immunoprecipitates, or CaM-Sepharose beads were resuspended in 15 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 5 mM MgCl2, 0.3 mM EGTA, 0.24 mg/ml phosphatidylinositol, and 20 µM [ CHO cells were
incubated for 2 h in serum-free, phosphate-free RPMI 1640 medium.
0.5 mCi of [32P]orthophosphate was added to each
culture dish for an additional 2 h. To some cells, 40 µM CGS9343B was added during the final 30 min of the
incubation. Cells were then treated with or without 5 µM
A23187 for 15 min, washed three times in cold phosphate-buffered saline, and lysed in 0.75 ml of 1:1 methanol, 1 M HCl.
Lipids were extracted three times with 0.3 ml of chloroform, dried
under nitrogen, and spotted onto Silica Gel 60 plates that had been prechromatographed with 1.2% potassium oxalate in
dH2O:methanol (60:40) and dried. Thin-layer chromatography
of the lipids was performed using
CHCl3/acetone/methanol/acetic acid/dH2O
(80:30:26:24:14) as the solvent. Radioactive spots corresponding to
phosphatidylinositol phosphates were identified by autoradiography,
scraped from the plates, and analyzed by HPLC as described above.
The 85-kDa regulatory subunit of PI3-kinase (p85) was precipitated
from lysates of baculovirus-infected Sf9 cells expressing p85 with
CaM-Sepharose but not with Sepharose alone, demonstrating an
interaction between these two proteins (Fig.
1A). To identify the
CaM-binding region of p85, CaM-Sepharose was incubated with GST fusion
proteins containing various regions of p85. Probing with anti-GST
antibody disclosed that the carboxyl-terminal SH2 domain bound to the
CaM-Sepharose (Fig. 1B). Longer exposure of the blot
revealed association of the amino-terminal SH2 domain with
CaM-Sepharose, suggesting that this region also interacts with CaM
albeit with a lower affinity (data not shown). Binding to either SH2
domain was significantly reduced when Ca2+ was chelated
with EGTA (data not shown). Furthermore, endogenous p85 from CHO cell
lysates bound to CaM-Sepharose only in the presence of Ca2+
(Fig. 1C). No binding of CaM to the SH3 or breakpoint
cluster homology regions was detected.

Insulin activates PI3-kinase by inducing the association of the SH2
domains of p85 with specific phosphotyrosine-containing motifs of IRS
proteins (19). It has been demonstrated that a phosphorylated
YMXM peptide (pY608), derived from amino acids 605-615 of
IRS-1, activates PI3-kinase by binding to its SH2 domains (23).
Incubation with pY608, but not with the corresponding nonphosphorylated
peptide (Y608), resulted in displacement of baculovirus-expressed p85
from CaM-Sepharose (Fig. 1D). These data suggest that CaM
binds in or near the pocket occupied by phosphorylated YMXM
motifs. Among the functional possibilities that may be inferred from
this observation are that CaM may directly activate PI3-kinase or may
modulate PI3-kinase activity by competing with tyrosine-phosphorylated
proteins for binding to the SH2 domains of p85.
To resolve this question, the PI3-kinase activity associated with CaM
was examined. The binding of PI3-kinase from CHO cell lysates to
CaM-Sepharose was Ca2+-dependent (Fig.
2A). Anti-CaM and anti-p85
antibodies immunoprecipitated p85 and p110, the catalytic subunit of
PI3-kinase, from CHO cell lysates (Fig. 2B); however, p85
was not coimmunoprecipitated with an irrelevant isotype-identical
monoclonal antibody (anti-myoglobin) or preimmune serum (Fig.
2B). Even though more p85 and p110 were present in anti-p85
immunoprecipitates than in anti-CaM immunoprecipitates, the PI3-kinase
activity in the anti-CaM immunoprecipitates was 6-fold greater than
that in anti-p85 immunoprecipitates (Fig. 2C). These data,
coupled with the relatively small amount of catalytic p110 subunit
bound to CaM, strongly support the contention that CaM significantly
stimulates PI3-kinase activity. HPLC analysis of the PtdIns-P produced
by PI3-kinase in the anti-CaM immunoprecipitate revealed that 80% was
phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns-3-P) (Fig. 2D).
Greater than 95% of the phosphatidylinositol kinase activity in CHO
cell lysates was phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase (data not shown),
supporting a specific interaction of CaM and PI3-kinase. Furthermore,
the PI3-kinase inhibitor LY294002 (24) decreased the PI3-kinase
activity in the anti-CaM immunoprecipitates by greater than 90% (Fig.
2E), further substantiating the identity of this enzyme as
PI3-kinase.
[View Larger Version of this Image (38K GIF file)]
Since CaM binds to IRS-1 in a Ca2+-sensitive manner (25),
the possibility of a ternary complex between CaM, p85, and IRS-1 was
evaluated in 32D cells, which lack endogenous IRS-1 and IRS-2 (26).
Essentially identical amounts of p85 from lysates of 32D and 32D/IRS-1
cells were precipitated with CaM-Sepharose (Fig. 3), indicating that the binding is
independent of IRS proteins.
[View Larger Version of this Image (80K GIF file)]
To further confirm our results, activation of PI3-kinase by pY608 or
CaM was compared using anti-p85 immunoprecipitates of CHO cell lysates.
In anti-p85 immunoprecipitates, 5 µM CaM stimulated PI3-kinase activity by 50%, while 100 µM pY608 enhanced
PI3-kinase activity by 38% (Fig. 4).
EGTA did not significantly alter basal or pY608-stimulated PI3-kinase
activity in the anti-p85 immunoprecipitates (data not shown) but
abolished the activation of PI3-kinase by CaM (Fig. 4). These data
verify that CaM stimulated PI3-kinase in a
Ca2+-dependent manner. The activity of
baculovirus-expressed PI3-kinase was similarly augmented by CaM (data
not shown). Thus, the activation of PI3-kinase by CaM was comparable to
that obtained by occupancy of the SH2 domains with a phosphopeptide,
implying that the binding of CaM to the SH2 domains of p85 is a novel
mechanism for the regulation of PI3-kinase activity.
[View Larger Version of this Image (35K GIF file)]
To examine whether Ca2+/CaM activates PI3-kinase in
situ, [Ca2+]i was increased with the
ionophore A23187 (25) in CHO cells preloaded with 32P.
32P-Labeled phospholipids were then extracted and resolved
by TLC, and phosphatidylinositol phosphates were excised and examined by HPLC. Treatment with A23187 increased PtdIns-3-P by 30% (Table I). The CaM antagonist, CGS9343B,
decreased basal levels of PtdIns-3-P and prevented the stimulation by
increased [Ca2+]i. A23187 induced the formation
of phosphatidylinositol 3,4-diphosphate (PtdIns-3,4-P2)
(which was not detected in lipids extracted from control cells), and
this effect was abrogated by concomitant incubation with CGS9343B.
Phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns-3,4,5-P3),
the predominant phospholipid produced in response to insulin and other
growth factors (2, 27, 28), was not detected under any conditions
examined. The production of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate
(PtdIns-4-P), but not phosphatidylinositol 4,5-diphosphate (PtdIns-4,5-P2), was also enhanced by increased
[Ca2+]i and was sensitive to CGS9343B (Table I).
The CaM-sensitive PI4-kinase activity may be mediated by a mammalian
CaM-stimulated inositol trisphosphate 4-kinase similar to that
identified in plants (29).

Overexpression of CaM alters cell morphology and the arrangement of microfilaments within the cell (13). In addition, CaM binds to a variety of cytoskeletal proteins (1) including the family of unconventional myosins (14) and has been implicated in osteoclast membrane ruffling
(15) and the formation of microspikes in neuronal cells (16).
Finally, both PI3-kinase (17) and CaM, via modulation of the
association of IQGAP1 with Cdc42 (18), may participate in the
regulation of Rho family GTPases. Since CaM and PI3-kinase modulate
similar cellular events, we evaluated a possible interaction between
these two signaling components.

(Washington University Medical Center, St. Louis). The anti-p85
antibody was prepared by immunizing rabbits with a glutathione

-32P]ATP in a final volume of 100 µl. In selected experiments, 0.1 mM CaCl2
(EGTA was omitted), 0.5, 2, or 5 µM CaM, 100 µM LY294002, or 100 µM pY608 were added
singly or in combination as indicated in the figure legends. The
reaction was stopped with 100 µl of 1 M HCl, and 200 µl
of 1:1 CHCl3:methanol was added. After centrifugation, the
lower phase was spotted onto Silica Gel 60 plates, and thin-layer chromatography was performed using
CHCl3/methanol/NH4OH/dH2O
(45:35:1.5:8.5) as the solvent. Where indicated, phosphatidylinositol
phosphate (PtdIns-P) was located by autoradiography and excised, and
32P was determined by liquid scintillation counting. For
HPLC analysis, PtdIns-P was extracted from the silica gel, deacylated
with methylamine, and subjected to anion exchange chromatography using
an on-line radiochemical detector as described previously (22).
Deacylated [3H]PtdIns-4-P was used as an internal
standard.

This study establishes a novel direct interaction between Ca2+/CaM and the SH2 domains of p85 resulting in the activation of PI3-kinase. Increased [Ca2+]i, acting through CaM, modulates PI3-kinase activity in intact cells. Interestingly, the specific phosphatidylinositol phosphates generated by Ca2+/CaM differ from those induced by incubating cells with insulin or growth factors (2, 27, 28). We demonstrate that changes in [Ca2+]i regulate PI3-kinase in a manner distinct from the canonical phosphotyrosine-dependent pathway, providing an additional level of control of this fundamental enzyme. Our findings expand the repertoire of enzymes that are regulated by Ca2+/CaM and accentuate the myriad interconnections between intracellular signaling pathways.
