Intracellular Signalling: New directions for phosphatidylinositol transfer
نویسنده
چکیده
Newly revealed properties of phosphatidylinositol transfer protein help to explain the cellular targeting of lipids involved in signal transduction, and indicate that inositol lipids play a part in directing membrane traffic.

Phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphates-at the interface between cell signalling and membrane traffic.
Phosphoinositides (PIs) form a minor class of phospholipids with crucial functions in cell physiology, ranging from cell signalling and motility to a role as signposts of compartmental membrane identity. Phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphates are present at the plasma membrane and within the endolysosomal system, where they serve as key regulators of both cell signalling and of intracellular membran...
متن کاملRegulation of PI3K signalling by the phosphatidylinositol transfer protein PITPalpha during axonal extension in hippocampal neurons.
Phosphatidylinositol transfer proteins (PITPs) mediate the transfer of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) or phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) between two membrane compartments, thereby regulating the interface between signalling, phosphoinositide (PI) metabolism and membrane traffic. Here, we show that PITPalpha is enriched in specific areas of the postnatal and adult brain, including the hippocampus an...
متن کاملPhosphatidylinositol transfer protein dictates the rate of inositol trisphosphate production by promoting the synthesis of PIP2
BACKGROUND Phosphatidylinositol transfer protein (PI-TP), which has the ability to transfer phosphatidylinositol (PI) from one membrane compartment to another, is required in the inositol lipid signalling pathway through phospholipase C-beta (PLC-beta) that is regulated by GTP-binding protein(s) in response to extracellular signals. Here, we test the hypothesis that the principal role of PI-TP ...
متن کاملIntracellular signalling: Is PIP2 a messenger too?
The phospholipid phosphatidylinositol (4,5) bisphosphate (PIP(2)) has recently been shown to act downstream of the small G proteins Rac and Arf. Different effectors may be employed in each case, suggesting that PIP(2) has multiple signalling roles.
متن کاملTrafficking of phosphatidylinositol by phosphatidylinositol transfer proteins.
PtdIns is synthesized at the endoplasmic reticulum and its intracellular distribution to other organelles can be facilitated by lipid transfer proteins [PITPs (phosphatidylinositol transfer proteins)]. In this review, I summarize the current understanding of how PITPs are regulated by phosphorylation, how can they dock to membranes to exchange their lipid cargo and how cells use PITPs in signal...
