title: Differential binding of traffic-related proteins to phosphatidic acid- or phosphatidylinositol (4,5)- bisphosphate-coupled affinity reagents.
abstract: Phosphatidic acid (PA) is an important bioactive lipid, but its molecular targets remain unknown. To identify such targets, we have synthesized and coupled PA to an agarose-based matrix, Affi-Gel 10. Using this matrix as an affinity reagent, we have identified a substantial number of potential PA-binding proteins from brain cytosol. One class of such proteins is known to be involved in intracellular traffic and it included coatomer, ADP-ribosylation factor (Arf), N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF), and kinesin. Binding of these proteins to PA beads was suppressed by soluble PA, and it occurred preferentially over binding to beads coupled to phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate. For coatomer, Arf, and NSF, we verified direct binding to PA beads using purified proteins. For recombinant Arf1 and Arf6, binding to PA required myristoylation. In addition, for NSF and Arf6, an ATPase and a GTPase, respectively, binding to PA beads was extremely sensitive to the nucleotide state of the protein. Binding to PA may be a property linking together distinct participants in one complete round of membrane transport from a donor to an acceptor compartment.
