Stress-inducible and constitutive phosphoinositide pools have distinctive fatty acid patterns in Arabidopsis thaliana Sabine König, Alina Mosblech and Ingo Heilmann 1 Department of Plant Biochemistry, Albrecht-von-Haller-Institute for Plant Sciences, Georg-August-University Göttingen, Göttingen, Germany 1 Correspondence: Department of Plant Biochemistry, Albrecht-von-Haller-Institute for Plant Sciences, Georg-August-University Göttingen, Justus-von-Liebig-Weg 11, 37077 Göttingen, Germany. E-mail: iheilma@uni-goettingen.de Function and development of eukaryotic cells require tight control of diverse physiological processes. Numerous cellular processes are regulated by polyphosphoinositides, which interact with protein partners or mediate release of the second messenger, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP 3 ). Emerging evidence suggests that different regulatory or signaling functions of polyphosphoinositides may be orchestrated by the establishment of distinct subcellular pools; the principles underlying pool-formation are, however, not understood. Arabidopsis plants exhibit transient increases in polyphosphoinositides with hyperosmotic stress, providing a model for comparing constitutive and stress-inducible polyphosphoinositide pools. Using a combination of thin-layer-chromatography and gas-chromatography, phospholipids from stressed and nonstressed Arabidopsis plants were analyzed for their associated fatty acids. Under nonstress conditions structural phospholipids and phosphatidylinositol contained 50–70 mol% polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), whereas polyphosphoinositides were more saturated (10–20 mol% PUFA). With hyperosmotic stress polyphosphoinositides with up to 70 mol% PUFA were formed that differed from constitutive species and coincided with a transient loss in unsaturated phosphatidylinositol. The patterns indicate inducible turnover of an unsaturated phosphatidylinositol pool, which accumulates under standard conditions and is primed for phosphorylation on stimulation. Metabolic analysis of wild-type and transgenic plants disturbed in phosphoinositide metabolism suggests that, in contrast to saturated species, unsaturated polyphosphoinositides are channeled toward InsP 3 -production.—König, S., Mosblech, A., Heilmann, I.
