Abstract

Phosphatidylinositol catabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is known to result in the formation of extracellular glycerophosphoinositol (GroPIns). We now report that S. cerevisiae not only produces but also reutilizes extracellular GroPIns and that these processes are regulated in response to inositol availability. A wild-type strain uniformly prelabeled with [3H] inositol displayed dramatically higher extracellular GroPIns levels when cultured in medium containing inositol than when cultured in medium lacking inositol. This difference in extracellular accumulation of GroPIns in response to inositol availability was shown to be a result of both regulated production and regulated reutilization. In a strain in which a negative regulator of phospholipid and inositol biosynthesis had been deleted (an opi1 mutant), this pattern of extracellular GroPIns accumulation in response to inositol availability was altered. An inositol permease mutant (itr1 itr2), which is unable to transport free inositol, was able to incorporate label from exogenous glycerophospho [3H]inositol, indicating that the inositol label did not enter the cell solely via the transporters encoded by itr1 and itr2. Kinetic studies of a wild-type strain and an itr1 itr2 mutant strain revealed that at least two mechanisms exist for the utilization of exogenous GroPIns: an inositol transporter-dependent mechanism and an inositol transporter-independent mechanism. The inositol transporter-independent pathway of exogenous GroPIns utilization displayed saturation kinetics and was energy dependent. Labeling studies employing [14C]glycerophospho[3H] inositol indicated that, while GroPIns enters the cell intact, the inositol moiety but not the glycerol moiety is incorporated into lipids.
