The eicosanoids are centrally involved in the onset and resolution of inflammatory processes. A key enzyme in eicosanoid biosynthesis during inflammation is group IVA phospholipase A(2) (also known as cytosolic phospholipase A(2 alpha) cPLA(2)alpha). This enzyme is responsible for generating free arachidonic acid from membrane phospholipids. cPLA(2)alpha translocates to perinuclear membranes shortly after cell activation, in a process that is governed by the increased availability of intracellular Ca2+. However, cPLA(2)alpha also catalyzes membrane phospholipid hydrolysis in response to agonists that do not mobilize intracellular Ca2+. How cPLA(2)alpha interacts with membranes under these conditions is a major, still unresolved issue. Here, we report that phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P-2] promotes translocation of cPLA(2)alpha to perinuclear membranes of intact cells in a manner that is independent of rises in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration. PtdIns(4,5)P-2 anchors the enzyme to perinuclear membranes and allows for a proper interaction with its phospholipid substrate to release arachidonic acid.
