    Abstract:
    Four inositol phosphate kinases catalyze phosphorylation of the second messenger inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3 ] to inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate [Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 ]: these enzymes comprise three isoenzymes of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase (Itpk), referred to as Itpka, Itpkb and Itpkc, and the inositol polyphosphate multikinase (IPMK). The four enzymes that act on Ins(1,4,5)P3 are all expressed in rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells, a model that is used to study neurite outgrowth induced by nerve growth factor (NGF). We compared the effect of over-expression of the four GFP-tagged kinases on NGF-induced neurite outgrowth. Our data show that over-expression of the Itpka and Itpkb isoforms inhibits NGF-induced neurite outgrowth, but over-expression of Itpkc and IPMK does not. Surprisingly, over-expression of the N-terminal F-actin binding domain of Itpka, which lacks catalytic activity, was as effective at inhibiting neurite outgrowth as the full-length enzyme. Neurite length was also significantly decreased in cells over-expressing Itpka and Itpkb but not Itpkc or IPMK. This result did not depend on the over-expression level of any of the kinases. PC12 cells over-expressing GFP-tagged kinase-dead mutants Itpka/b have shorter neurites than GFP control cells. The decrease in neurite length was never as pronounced as observed with wild-type GFP-tagged Itpka/b. Finally, the percentage of neurite-bearing cells was increased in cells over-expressing the membranous type I Ins(1,4,5)P3 5-phosphatase. We conclude that Itpka and Itpkb inhibit neurite outgrowth through both F-actin binding and localized Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase activity. Itpkc and IPMK do not influence neurite outgrowth or neurite length in this model.
