Radiographic contrast media (RCM) used in the subarachnoid space are associated with occasional adverse reactions. This study examines the possibility that RCM reactions are caused by interactions with the plasma membrane phosphatidylinositol (PI) second messenger system. Isolated nerve endings, known as synaptosomes, were produced from rat brain homogenates. The synaptosomes were then incubated with RCM to determine if 32Pi labeling of the PIs or the uptake of 45Ca were influenced in a manner consistent with known mechanisms. The RCM metrizamide, iopamidol, iodixanol, and iotrol (but not iohexol) increased the 32Pi labeling. Hyperosmolality produced large increases in phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PIP) and phosphatidylinositol-4, 5,-bisphosphate (PIP2) labeling. In the non-depolarized state iodixanol, but not metrizamide or iohexol, caused a time-dependent increase in 45Ca uptake. Iodixanol, iohexol, and metrizamide also augmented the veratrine-stimulated uptake of calcium, but none of the RCM affected the uptake of Ca resulting from potassium depolarization. The increased 32Pi labeling of the PIs caused by RCM is not directly related to Ca uptake, because the direction of change is wrong. RCM perturbations of the plasma membrane may cause an inhibition of other membrane components and systems. Hyperosmolality also may cause inhibition of membrane components. It is not known if these effects are important in clinically observed RCM toxicity.

This protocol describes the detection of phosphorylated proteins within cells and the identification of their intracellular localization, with a particular focus on mitotic cells. While the detection of phosphorylated proteins can be achieved using radioactive labeling with Pi, this method presents experimental challenges due to the requirement for radioisotopes. Alternatively, detection using phosphorylation-specific antibodies is a potent method; however, it necessitates the identification of phosphorylation sites and further requires the generation of antibodies targeting these sites, making it effective only for thoroughly analyzed phosphorylations.

Plant's perception of heat stress involves several pathways and signaling molecules, such as phosphoinositide, which is derived from structural membrane lipids phosphatidylinositol. Phospholipase C (PLC) is a well-known signaling enzyme containing many isoforms in different organisms. In the present study, Phospholipase C Isoform 5 () was investigated for its role in thermotolerance in .

The ensuing heat stress drastically affects wheat plant growth and development, consequently compromising its grain yield. There are many thermoregulatory processes/mechanisms mediated by ion channels, lipids, and lipid-modifying enzymes that occur in the plasma membrane and the chloroplast. With the onset of abiotic or biotic stresses, phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC), as a signaling enzyme, hydrolyzes phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP) to generate inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP) and diacylglycerol (DAG) which is further phosphorylated into phosphatidic acid (PA) as a secondary messenger and is involved in multiple processes.

Phosphate's central role in most biochemical reactions in a living organism requires carefully maintained homeostasis. Although phosphate homeostasis in mammals has long been studied at the organismal level, the intracellular mechanisms controlling phosphate metabolism are not well-understood. Inositol pyrophosphates have emerged as important regulatory elements controlling yeast phosphate homeostasis.

Phospholipase C (PLC) is well known for its role in animal signaling, where it generates the second messengers, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG), by hydrolyzing the minor phospholipid, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), upon receptor stimulation. In plants, PLC's role is still unclear, especially because the primary targets of both second messengers are lacking, i.e.
