A role for Rho in receptor- and G protein-stimulated phospholipase C Reduction in phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate by Clostridium difficile toxin B

Abstract: Receptors coupled to heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) activate phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2)-hydrolyzing phospholipase C (PLC) enzymes by activated alpha of free beta gamma subunits of the relevant G proteins. To study whether low molecular weight G proteins of the Rho family are involved in receptor signaling to PLC, we examined the effect of Clostridium difficile toxin B, which glucosylates and thereby inactivates Rho proteins, on the regulation of PLC a… Show more

“…A physical association between RhoA and PIP5K has been reported (19), and the addition of recombinant RhoA stimulates PIP5K activity in lysates of mouse fibroblasts (20,21). Consistent with the role of Rho in PIP5K activation, inactivation of Rho GTPases by Clostridium difficile toxin B reduces cellular PIP 2 levels by 50 -90% in several tissue culture cell lines (22,23). This results in an inhibition of receptormediated inositol phosphate formation by phospholipase C and PIP 2 -sensitive phospholipase D and also induces profound changes in cell morphology.…”

“…HEK-293 cell phosphoinositide levels were determined as described previously [25,26]. Briefly, phosphoinositides were labelled by incubating nearly confluent monolayers of cells for 20-24 h with [$H]inositol (0.5-1 µCi\ml) in inositol-free growth medium.…”

“…Since PtdIns(4,5)P # synthesis in HEK-293 cells is apparently controlled by both tyrosine phosphorylation and Rho proteins [25,26], the relationship between these two regulatory mechanisms was examined. Therefore we studied the effects of Rho protein inactivation by C. difficile toxin B on both the genisteininduced fall and the pervanadate-induced rise in phosphoinositide levels.…”

“…Thus, inactivation of Rho GTPases by Clostridium difficile toxin B reduced cellular PIP 2 levels, resulting in inhibition of receptor-mediated inositol phosphate formation by phospholipase C and PIP 2 -sensitive phospholipase D (PLD) (31,32). RhoA (33) and Rac1 (34) have been shown to stimulate PIP 2 synthesis, and PIP5K isoforms appear to function downstream of RhoA and Rac1 in actin organization (15,35).…”
