FIGURE 23-1: Stereo chemistry of the quantitatively major inositol lipids. Inositol lipids characteristically contain stearic acid (18:0)
and arachidonic acid (20:4 ω6) esterified to the 1 and 2 position of sn-glycerolphosphate, respectively. The phosphate (colored circle) is
diesterified to the 1 position of D-myo-inositol. myo-Inositol in its favored chair conformation has five equatorial hydroxyls and one axial
hydroxyl. Looking at the chair from above and counting counterclockwise, the axial hydroxyl is then in position 2. As indicated by the
drawing, the inositol molecule can be conveniently viewed as a turtle (see Agranoff, 1978) in which the diacylglycerol phosphate moiety is
attached to the right front leg (position 1), next to the raised head (the axial hydroxyl in position 2). The other equatorial hydroxyls are
represented by the remaining limbs and the tail. Phosphatidylinositol (PI) can be phosphorylated at position 4 (the rear left leg), or the rear
left leg as well as the tail (positions 4 and 5 as shown), to yield phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) and phosphatidylinositol 4,5bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2], respectively.

FIGURE 23-2: Pathways of inositol lipid metabolism. A. Interrelationship between routes of synthesis and degradation of the “canonical” inositol
lipids [PI, PI(4)P and PI(4,5)P2] and the 3-phosphoinositides (for explanation of abbreviations, see text). Capital letters refer to reactions catalyzed by
kinases: A, Type II/III PI4K; B, Type I PIPK; C, Type I PI3K; D, Type I/II PI3K; E, Type I/II PI3K; F, Type III PIPK; G, Type III PIPK; H, Type II PIPK.
Lower case letters refer to reactions catalyzed by phosphatases: a, SAC1; b, SAC2, INPP5E, Synaptojanin, OCRL; c, PTEN; d, MTMRs; e, SAC1,
MTMRs; f, SAC3; g, PLIP; h, TMEM55; i, MTMRs; j, INPP5s, SHIP1/2, SAC2, OCRL, synaptojanins; k, INPP4. Broken arrows indicate that the reactions
have yet to be confirmed. B. Regenerative cycle of phosphoinositide resynthesis following receptor-ligand-mediated breakdown of PI(4,5)P2 (arrow) and
generation of the second messengers DAG and I(1,4,5)P 3. Numbers refer to the following enzymes: 1, phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C; 2,
DAG kinase; 3, CDP-DAG synthase; 4, PI synthase.

FIGURE 23-4: Three distinct mechanisms for the activation of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC). In mechanism I,
the ligand activates a receptor which possesses an intrinsic tyrosine kinase. Dimerization and autophosphorylation of the receptor leads
to recruitment of PLC to the plasma membrane and its activation by phosphorylation. In mechanism II, the ligand-receptor interaction
results in the dissociation of a pertussis toxin–insensitive G protein (Gq), to liberate αq, which then activates either PLCβ1 or PLCβ3. In
mechanism III, the ligand-receptor interaction results in the dissociation of a pertussis toxin–sensitive G protein (e.g., Gi or Go) which in
turn liberates αi/αo and β subunits. The latter can then activate either PLCβ2 or PLCβ3. Note that although βγ subunits derived from Gq
could also theoretically activate this pathway, this possibility is less likely, given the abundance of Gi/Go relative to Gq.

FIGURE 23-6: Pathways of I(1,4,5)P3 metabolism. Only the quantitatively major established pathways are depicted. Li+ is known to
block the dephosphorylation reactions indicated by the black bars. For details of the metabolic pathways of the higher inositol phosphates
(i.e., IP5, IP6 and the diphosphorylated inositol phosphates) see Shears, 2009. Numbers refer to the following enzymes: 1, inositol
polyphosphate 5-phosphatase (I); 2, inositol polyphosphate 1-phosphatase; 3, I(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase; 4, inositol polyphosphate 4phosphatase; 5, inositol polyphosphate 3-phosphatase; 6, inositol monophosphate phosphatase.

FIGURE 23-7: A. A schematic of the domain structure of the four subgroups of the mammalian protein kinase C (PKC) family
members is shown above the Saccharomyces cerevisiae PKC1. These are the classical isoforms (cPKC), novel isoforms (nPKC),
atypical isoforms (aPKC) and the PKC-related kinases (known as PKN). B. A cPKC is shown in its self-inhibited state, with the
pseudosubstrate site binding to the substrate-binding pocket in the kinase domain. When the regulatory domain is recruited to plasma
membranes through Ca2+, phospholipid and diacylglycerol, autoinhibition is relieved and the catalytic domain of cPKC is free to exert its
action on target substrates. Conserved region 1 (C1) can confer binding of diacylglycerol and phospholipids, and C2 confers binding to
phospholipids and Ca2+. Phox/Bem domain 1 (PB1) acts as a dimerization domain in various proteins. Homology region 1 (HR1) confers
small-GTPase binding properties to PKCs. From Rosse et al., 2010, with permission.
