Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) plays an important role in a variety of hormone and growth factor-mediated intracellular signaling cascades and has been implicated in the regulation of a number of metabolic effects of insulin, including glucose transport and glycogen synthase activation. In the present study we have examined 1) the association of PI 3-kinase with the insulin receptor kinase (IRK) in rat liver and 2) the subcellular distribution of PI 3-kinase-IRK interaction. Insulin treatment promoted a rapid and pronounced recruitment of PI 3-kinase to IRKs located at the plasma membrane, whereas no increase in association with endosomal IRKs was observed. In contrast to IRS-1-associated PI 3-kinase activity, association of PI 3-kinase with the plasma membrane IRK did not augment the specific activity of the lipid kinase. With use of the selective PI 3-kinase inhibitor wortmannin, our data suggest that the cell surface IRK β-subunit is not a substrate for the serine kinase activity of PI 3-kinase. The functional significance for the insulin-stimulated selective recruitment of PI 3-kinase to cell surface IRKs remains to be elucidated.

Sphingolipid long-chain base (LCB) kinase catalyses the phosphorylation of sphingolipid LCB to form LCB 1-phosphate. Based on sequence identity to a murine sphingosine kinase (murine SPHK1a), we isolated and characterized a LCB kinase-like cDNA in Arabidopsis thaliana. The deduced amino acid sequence of the homologous cDNA shows several regions that are highly conserved in LCB kinases from mouse, yeast, human and Caenorhabditis elegans. These regions are not similar to those of other known kinase families. For a functional identification, the homologous cDNA from A. thaliana was expressed in Escherichia coli and LCB kinase activity was measured. The recombinant AtLcbk1 protein was found to utilize ATP and sphinganine. These results indicate the first identification of a gene coding for a LCB kinase in plants.

ABSTRACT Sphingosine kinase has been recognized as an essential signaling molecule that mediates the intracellular conversion of sphingosine to sphingosine-1-phosphate. In mast cells, induction of sphingosine kinase and generation of sphingosine-1-phosphate have been linked to the initial rise in Ca2+, released from internal stores, and to degranulation. These events either precede or are concomitant with the activation of phospholipase C-γ and the generation of inositol trisphosphate. Here we show that sphingosine kinase type 1 (SPHK1) interacts directly with the tyrosine kinase Lyn and that this interaction leads to the recruitment of this lipid kinase to the high-affinity receptor for immunoglobulin E (FcεRI). The interaction of SPHK1 with Lyn caused enhanced lipid and tyrosine kinase activity. After FcεRI triggering, enhanced sphingosine kinase activity was associated with FcεRI in sphingolipid-enriched rafts of mast cells. Bone marrow-derived mast cells from Lyn−/ − mice, compared to syngeneic wild-type cells, were defective in the initial induction of SPHK1 activity, and the defect was overcome by retroviral Lyn expression. These findings position the activation of SPHK1 as an FcεRI proximal event.

To maintain an intact barrier, epithelia eliminate dying cells by extrusion. During extrusion, a cell destined for apoptosis signals its neighboring cells to form and contract a ring of actin and myosin, which squeezes the dying cell out of the epithelium. Here, we demonstrate that the signal produced by dying cells to initiate this process is sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). Decreasing S1P synthesis by inhibiting sphingosine kinase activity or by blocking extracellular S1P access to its receptor prevented apoptotic cell extrusion. Extracellular S1P activates extrusion by binding the S1P2 receptor in the cells neighboring a dying cell, as S1P2 knockdown in these cells or its loss in a zebrafish mutant disrupted cell extrusion. Because live cells can also be extruded, we predict that this S1P pathway may also be important for driving delamination of stem cells during differentiation or invasion of cancer cells.
