Abstract
PtdIns(3,5)P(2) is one of the seven regulatory PPIn (polyphosphoinositides) that are ubiquitous in eukaryotes. It controls membrane trafficking at multiple points in the endosomal/lysosomal system and consequently regulates the size, shape and acidity of at least one endo-lysosomal compartment. PtdIns(3,5)P(2) appears to exert this control via multiple effector proteins, with each effector specific for a subset of the various PtdIns(3,5)P(2)-dependent processes. Some putative PtdIns(3,5)P(2) effectors have been identified, including Atg18p-related PROPPIN [beta-propeller(s) that bind PPIn] proteins and the epsin-like proteins Ent3p and Ent5p, whereas others remain to be defined. One of the principal functions of PtdIns(3,5)P(2) is to regulate the fission/fragmentation of endo-lysosomal sub-compartments. PtdIns(3,5)P(2) is required for vesicle formation during protein trafficking between endo-lysosomes and also for fragmentation of endo-lysosomes into smaller compartments. In yeast, hyperosmotic stress accelerates the latter process. In the present review we highlight and discuss recent studies that reveal the role of the HOPS-CORVET complex and the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase in the process of endo-lysosome fission, and speculate on connections between these machineries and the Fab1p pathway. We also discuss new evidence linking PtdIns(3,5)P(2) and PtdIns5P to the regulation of exocytosis.

Abstract
This unit describes the method of following phosphoinositide dynamics in live cells. Inositol phospholipids have emerged as universal signaling molecules present in virtually every membrane of eukaryotic cells. Phosphoinositides are present in only tiny amounts as compared to structural lipids, but they are metabolically very active as they are produced and degraded by the numerous inositide kinase and phosphatase enzymes. Phosphoinositides control the membrane recruitment and activity of many membrane protein signaling complexes in specific membrane compartments, and they have been implicated in the regulation of a variety of signaling and trafficking pathways. It has been a challenge to develop methods that allow detection of phosphoinositides at the single-cell level. The only available technique in live cell applications is based on the use of the same protein domains selected by evolution to recognize cellular phosphoinositides. Some of these isolated protein modules, when fused to fluorescent proteins, can follow dynamic changes in phosphoinositides. While this technique can provide information on phosphoinositide dynamics in live cells with subcellular localization, and it has rapidly gained popularity, it also has several limitations that must be taken into account when interpreting the data. This unit summarizes the design and practical use of these constructs and also reviews important considerations for interpretation of the data obtained by this technique.

Abstract
The widely expressed chloride channel ClC-2 is stimulated by the serum and glucocorticoid inducible kinase SGK1. The SGK1-dependent regulation of several carriers involves the mammalian phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate-5-kinase PIKfyve (PIP5K3). The present experiments explored whether SGK1-dependent regulation of ClC-2 similarly involves PIKfyve. The conductance of Xenopus oocytes is increased more than eightfold by ClC-2 expression. In ClC-2-expressing oocytes, but not in water-injected oocytes, the current was further enhanced by coexpression of either, PIKfyve or constitutively active (S422D)SGK1. Coexpression of the inactive SGK1 mutant (K127N)SGK1 did not significantly alter the current in ClC-2-expressing oocytes and abrogated the stimulation of the current by PIKfyve-coexpression. The stimulating effect of PIKfyve was abolished by replacement of the serine with alanine in the SGK1 consensus sequence ((S318A)PIKfyve). Coexpression of (S318A)PIKfyve significantly blunted the stimulating effect of (S422D)SGK1 on ClC-2-activity. In conclusion, PIKfyve is a potent stimulator of ClC-2-activity and contributes to SGK1-dependent regulation of ClC-2.

Abstract
Activated EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) undergoes ESCRT (endosomal sorting complex required for transport)-mediated sorting on to the intraluminal vesicles of MVBs (multivesicular bodies) before degradation in the lysosome. Sorting of endocytosed EGFR on to the intraluminal vesicles of MVBs removes the catalytic domain of the EGFR from the cytoplasm, resulting in termination of receptor signalling. The formation of intraluminal vesicles that contain EGFR is promoted by EGF stimulation in a mechanism that depends on the EGFR substrate, annexin 1. Signalling from endocytosed EGFR is also subject to down-regulation through receptor dephosphorylation by PTPs (protein tyrosine phosphatases), such as PTP1B, an enzyme thought to reside on the ER (endoplasmic reticulum). In the present paper, we review how the phosphorylation state of components of the MVB sorting machinery, as well as the EGFR, may play a critical role in regulating EGFR sorting and signalling.

Abstract
JIPs (c-Jun N-terminal kinase interacting proteins), which scaffold JNK/p38 MAP kinase signaling modules, also bind conventional kinesins and are implicated in microtubule-based membrane trafficking in neuronal cells. Here we have identified a novel splice variant of the Jip4 gene product JLP(L) (JNK-interacting leucine zipper protein) in yeast-two hybrid screens with the phosphoinositide kinase PIKfyve. The interaction was confirmed by pulldown and coimmunoprecipitation assays in native cells. It engages the PIKfyve cpn60_TCP1 consensus sequence and the last 75 residues of the JLP C terminus. Subpopulations of both proteins cofractionated and populated similar structures at the cell perinuclear region. Because PIKfyve is essential in endosome-to-trans-Golgi network (TGN) cargo transport, we tested whether JLP is a PIKfyve functional partner in this trafficking pathway. Short interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated depletion of endogenous JLP or PIKfyve profoundly delayed the microtubule-based transport of chimeric furin (Tac-furin) from endosomes to the TGN in a CHO cell line, which was rescued upon ectopic expression of siRNA-resistant JLP or PIKfyve constructs. Peptides from the contact sites in PIKfyve and JLP, or a dominant-negative PIKfyve mutant introduced into cells by ectopic expression or microinjection, induced a similar defect. Because Tac-TGN38 delivery from endosomes to the TGN, unlike that of Tac-furin, does not require intact microtubules, we monitored the effect of JLP and PIKfyve depletion or the interacting peptides administration on Tac-TGN38 trafficking. Remarkably, neither maneuver altered the Tac-TGN38 delivery to the TGN. Our data indicate that JLP interacts with PIKfyve and that both proteins and their association are required in microtubule-based, but not in microtubule-independent, endosome-to-TGN cargo transport.

Abstract
PtdIns(3,5)P(2) (with PtdIns indicating phosphatidylinositol) is vital in the differentiation and development of multicellular organisms because knockout of the PtdIns(3,5)P(2)-synthesizing enzyme PIKfyve (phosphoinositide kinase for position 5 containing a FYVE finger domain) or its associated regulator ArPIKfyve is lethal. In previous work with endogenous proteins, we identified that Sac3, a phosphatase that turns over PtdIns(3,5)P(2), associates with the PIKfyve-ArPIKfyve biosynthetic complex. However, whether the three proteins suffice for the organization/maintenance of this complex [referred to as the PAS (PIKfyve-ArPIKfyve-Sac3) complex], how they interact with one another, and what the functional relevance of this ternary association would be remained unresolved. Using co-immunoprecipitation analyses in transfected mammalian cells with increased or decreased levels of the three proteins, singly or in double versus triple combinations, herein we report that the triad is sufficient to form and maintain the PAS complex. ArPIKfyve is the principal organizer interacting with both Sac3 and PIKfyve, whereas Sac3 is permissive for maximal PIKfyve-ArPIKfyve association in the PAS complex. We further identified that ArPIKfyve scaffolds the PAS complex through homomeric interactions, mediated via its conserved C-terminal domain. Introduction of the C-terminal peptide fragment of the ArPIKfyve-ArPIKfyve contact sites effectively disassembled the PAS complex and reduced the in vitro PIKfyve lipid kinase activity. Exploring insulin-regulated GLUT4 translocation in 3T3L1 adipocytes as a functional readout, a process that is positively regulated by PIKfyve activity and ArPIKfyve levels, we determined that ectopic expression of the ArPIKfyve C-terminal peptide inhibits GLUT4 surface accumulation. Our data indicate that the PAS complex is organized to provide optimal PIKfyve functionality and is maintained via ArPIKfyve homomeric and heteromeric interactions.

Abstract
Accumulated evidence over the last several years indicates that insulin regulates multiple steps in the overall translocation of GLUT4 vesicles to the fat/muscle cell surface, including formation of an intracellular storage pool of GLUT4 vesicles, its movement to the proximity of the cell surface, and the subsequent docking/fusion with the plasma membrane. Insulin-stimulated formation of phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3); and in some cases, of its catabolite PtdIns(3,4)P(2)] plays a pivotal role in this process. PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) is synthesized by the activated wortmannin-sensitive class IA phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinase and controls the rate-limiting cell surface terminal stages of the GLUT4 journey. However, recent research is consistent with the conclusion that signals by each of the remaining five PIs, i.e., PtdIns(3)P, PtdIns(4)P, PtdIns(5)P, PtdIns(3,5)P(2), and PtdIns(4,5)P(2), may act in concert with that of PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) in integrating the insulin receptor-issued signals with GLUT4 surface translocation and glucose transport activation. This review summarizes the experimental evidence supporting the complementary function of these PIs in insulin responsiveness of fat and muscle cells, with particular reference to mechanistic insights and functional significance in the regulation of overall GLUT4 vesicle dynamics.

Abstract
Two different human diseases, X-linked myotubular myopathy and Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, result from mutant MTM1 or MTMR2 lipid phosphatases. Although events involved in endosomal PI(3)P and PI(3,5)P(2) synthesis are well established and pivotal in receptor signaling and degradation, enzymes involved in phosphoinositide degradation and their roles in trafficking are incompletely characterized. Here, we dissect the functions of the MTM1 and MTMR2 myotubularins and establish how they contribute to endosomal PI(3)P homeostasis. By mimicking loss of function in disease through siRNA-mediated depletion of the myotubularins, excess PI(3)P accumulates on early (MTM1) and late (MTMR2) endosomes. Surprisingly, the increased PI(3)P blocks the egress of epidermal growth factor receptors from early or late endosomes, suggesting that the accumulation of signaling receptors in distinct endosomes may contribute to the unique disease etiologies when MTM1 or MTMR2 are mutant. We further demonstrate that direct myotubularin binding to the type III PI 3-kinase complex hVps34/hVps15 leads to phosphatase inactivation. The lipid kinase-phosphatase interaction also precludes interaction of the PI 3-kinase with Rab GTPase activators. Thus, unique molecular complexes control kinase and phosphatase activation and locally regulate PI(3)P on discrete endosome populations, thereby providing a molecular rationale for related human myo- and neuropathies.

Abstract
Key components of membrane trafficking and signaling machinery in eukaryotic cells are proteins that bind or synthesize phosphoinositides. PIKfyve, a product of an evolutionarily conserved single-copy gene has both these features. It binds to membrane phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns)3P and synthesizes PtdIns(3,5)P2 and PtdIns5P. Molecular functions of PIKfyve are elusive but recent advances are consistent with a key role in the course of endosomal transport. PIKfyve dysfunction induces endosome enlargement and profound cytoplasmic vacuolation, likely as a result of impaired normal endosome processing and membrane exit out of endosomes. Multicellular organisms with genetically impaired function of PIKfyve or that of the PIKfyve protein partners regulating PtdIns(3,5)P2 homeostasis display severe disorders, including embryonic/perinatal death. This review describes recent advances on PIKfyve functionality in higher eukaryotes, with particular reference to biochemical and genetic insights in PIKfyve protein partners.

Abstract
Multivesicular endosomes/bodies (MVBs) sort endocytosed proteins to different destinations. Many lysosomally directed membrane proteins are sorted onto intralumenal vesicles, whilst recycling proteins remain on the perimeter membrane from where they are removed via tubular extensions. MVBs move to the cell centre during this maturation process and, when all recycling proteins have been removed, fuse with lysosomes. Recent advances have identified endosomal-sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT)-dependent and ESCRT-independent pathways in intralumenal vesicle formation and mechanisms for sorting recycling cargo into tubules. Cytoskeletal motors, through interactions with these machineries and by regulating MVB movement, help to co-ordinate events leading to a mature, fusion-competent MVB.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides (PIs) are lipid second messengers implicated in signal transduction and membrane trafficking. Seven distinct PIs can be synthesized by phosphorylation of the inositol ring of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns), and their metabolism is accurately regulated by PI kinases and phosphatases. Two of the PIs, PtdIns3P and PtdIns(3,5)P2, are present on intracellular endosomal compartments, and several studies suggest that they have a role in membrane remodeling and trafficking. We refer to them as ‘endosomal PIs’. An increasing number of human genetic diseases including myopathy and neuropathies are associated to mutations in enzymes regulating the turnover of these endosomal PIs. The PtdIns3P and PtdIns(3,5)P2 3-phosphatase myotubularin gene is mutated in X-linked centronuclear myopathy, whereas its homologs MTMR2 and MTMR13 and the PtdIns(3,5)P2 5-phosphatase SAC3/FIG4 are implicated in Charcot–Marie–Tooth peripheral neuropathies. Mutations in the gene encoding the PtdIns3P5-kinase PIP5K3/PIKfyve have been found in patients affected with François–Neetens fleck corneal dystrophy. This review presents the roles of the endosomal PIs and their regulators and proposes defects of membrane remodeling as a common pathological mechanism for the corresponding diseases.

Abstract
The Class III PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase), Vps34 (vacuolar protein sorting 34), was first described as a component of the vacuolar sorting system in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and is the sole PI3K in yeast. The homologue in mammalian cells, hVps34, has been studied extensively in the context of endocytic sorting. However, hVps34 also plays an important role in the ability of cells to respond to changes in nutrient conditions. Recent studies have shown that mammalian hVps34 is required for the activation of the mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin)/S6K1 (S6 kinase 1) pathway, which regulates protein synthesis in response to nutrient availability. In both yeast and mammalian cells, Class III PI3Ks are also required for the induction of autophagy during nutrient deprivation. Finally, mammalian hVps34 is itself regulated by nutrients. Thus Class III PI3Ks are implicated in the regulation of both autophagy and, through the mTOR pathway, protein synthesis, and thus contribute to the integration of cellular responses to changing nutritional status.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides have crucial roles in cellular controls, many of which have been established through the use of small-molecule inhibitors. Here, we describe YM201636, a potent inhibitor of the mammalian class III phosphatidylinositol phosphate kinase PIKfyve, which synthesizes phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate. Acute treatment of cells with YM201636 shows that the PIKfyve pathway is involved in the sorting of endosomal transport, with inhibition leading to the accumulation of a late endosomal compartment and blockade of retroviral exit. Inhibitor specificity is shown by the use of short interfering RNA against the target, as well as by rescue with the drug-resistant yeast orthologue Fab1. We concluded that the phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate pathway is integral to endosome formation, determining morphology and cargo flux.

Abstract
ErbB receptor tyrosine kinases can transit to nuclei in tumor cells, where they have been shown to regulate gene expression as components of transcriptional complexes. Quantitative analysis of a human bladder cancer tissue microarray identified nuclear epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in tumor cells and also showed an increased frequency of this histologic feature in cancer relative to normal tissues. This observation suggests a potential role for nuclear EGFR in bladder cancer. We confirmed that EGFR could be induced to transit to nuclei in cultured human bladder cancer cells in response to the urothelial cell growth factor and EGFR ligand heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF). Mass spectrometric analysis of EGFR immune complexes from a transitional carcinoma cell line (TCCSUP) identified the phosphoinositide kinase, PIKfyve, as a potential component of the EGFR trafficking mechanism. RNA silencing indicated that PIKfyve is a mediator of HB-EGF-stimulated EGFR nuclear trafficking, EGFR binding to the cyclin D1 promoter, and cell cycle progression. These results identify a novel mediator of the EGFR transcription function and further suggest that nuclear EGFR and the lipid kinase PIKfyve may play a role in bladder oncogenesis.

Abstract
The signaling lipid, phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate (PI(3,5)P(2)), likely functions in multiple signaling pathways. Here, we report the characterization of a mouse mutant lacking Vac14, a regulator of PI(3,5)P(2) synthesis. The mutant mice exhibit massive neurodegeneration, particularly in the midbrain and in peripheral sensory neurons. Cell bodies of affected neurons are vacuolated, and apparently empty spaces are present in areas where neurons should be present. Similar vacuoles are found in cultured neurons and fibroblasts. Selective membrane trafficking pathways, especially endosome-to-TGN retrograde trafficking, are defective. This report, along with a recent report on a mouse with a null mutation in Fig4, presents the unexpected finding that the housekeeping lipid, PI(3,5)P(2), is critical for the survival of neural cells.

Abstract
Myotubularins constitute a ubiquitous family of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-phosphatases implicated in several neuromuscular disorders. Myotubularin [myotubular myopathy 1 (MTM1)] PI 3-phosphatase is shown associated with early and late endosomes. Loss of endosomal phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate [PI(3)P] upon overexpression of wild-type MTM1, but not a phosphatase-dead MTM1C375S mutant, resulted in altered early and late endosomal PI(3)P levels and rapid depletion of early endosome antigen-1. Membrane-bound MTM1 was directly complexed to the hVPS15/hVPS34 [vacuolar protein sorting (VPS)] PI 3-kinase complex with binding mediated by the WD40 domain of the hVPS15 (p150) adapter protein and independent of a GRAM-domain point mutation that blocks PI(3,5)P(2) binding. The WD40 domain of hVPS15 also constitutes the binding site for Rab7 and, as shown previously, contributes to Rab5 binding. In vivo, the hVPS15/hVPS34 PI 3-kinase complex forms mutually exclusive complexes with the Rab GTPases (Rab5 or Rab7) or with MTM1, suggesting a competitive binding mechanism. Thus, the Rab GTPases together with MTM1 likely serve as molecular switches for controlling the sequential synthesis and degradation of endosomal PI(3)P. Normal levels of endosomal PI(3)P and PI(3,5)P(2) are crucial for both endosomal morphology and function, suggesting that disruption of endosomal sorting and trafficking in skeletal muscle when MTM1 is mutated may be a key factor in precipitating X-linked MTM.

Abstract
Perturbations in phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(3,5)P2)-synthesizing enzymes result in enlarged endocytic organelles from yeast to humans, indicating evolutionarily conserved function of PtdIns(3,5)P2 in endosome-related events. This is reinforced by the structural and functional homology of yeast Vac14 and human Vac14 (ArPIKfyve), which activate yeast and mammalian PtdIns(3,5)P2-producing enzymes, Fab1 and PIKfyve, respectively. In yeast, PtdIns(3,5)P2-specific phosphatase, Fig4, in association with Vac14, turns over PtdIns(3,5)P2, but whether such a mechanism operates in mammalian cells and what the identity of mammalian Fig4 may be are unknown. Here we have identified and characterized Sac3, a Sac domain phosphatase, as the Fig4 mammalian counterpart. Endogenous Sac3, a widespread 97-kDa protein, formed a stable ternary complex with ArPIKfyve and PIKfyve. Concordantly, Sac3 cofractionated and colocalized with ArPIKfyve and PIKfyve. The intrinsic Sac3(WT) phosphatase activity preferably hydrolyzed PtdIns(3,5)P2 in vitro, although the other D5-phosphorylated polyphosphoinositides were also substrates. Ablation of endogenous Sac3 by short interfering RNAs elevated PtdIns(3,5)P2 in (32)P-labeled HEK293 cells. Ectopically expressed Sac3(WT) in COS cells colocalized with and dilated EEA1-positive endosomes, consistent with the PtdIns(3,5)P2 requirement in early endosome dynamics. In vitro reconstitution of carrier vesicle formation from donor early endosomes revealed a gain of function upon Sac3 loss, whereas PIKfyve or ArPIKfyve protein depletion produced a loss of function. These data demonstrate a coupling between the machinery for PtdIns(3,5)P2 synthesis and turnover achieved through a physical assembly of PIKfyve, ArPIKfyve, and Sac3. We suggest that the tight regulation in PtdIns(3,5)P2 homeostasis is mechanistically linked to early endosome dynamics in the course of cargo transport.

Abstract
The Na(+), glucose cotransporter SGLT1 (SLC5A1) accomplishes Na(+)-dependent concentrative cellular glucose uptake. SGLT1 activity is enhanced by the serum and glucocorticoid inducible kinase SGK1. As shown recently, the stimulating effect of protein kinase B on the glucose carrier GLUT4 involves the mammalian phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate-5-kinase PIKfyve (PIP5K3). The present experiments thus explored whether PIKfyve is similarly involved in the SGK1-dependent regulation of SLC5A1. In Xenopus oocytes expressing SLC5A1 but not in water injected oocytes glucose induced a current which was significantly enhanced by coexpression of PIKfyve. The effect of PIKfyve on SLC5A1 was blunted by additional coexpression of the inactive mutant of the serum and glucocorticoid inducible kinase (K119N)SGK1 and mimicked by coexpression of constitutively active (S422D)SGK1. The stimulating effect of PIKfyve was abrogated by replacement of the serine in the SGK consensus sequence by alanine ((S138A)PIKfyve). Moreover, coexpression of (S138A)PIKfyve significantly blunted the effect of SGK1 on SLC5A1 activity. The observations disclose that PIKfyve participates in the SGK1-dependent regulation of SLC5A1.

Abstract
Insulin activates glucose transport by promoting translocation of the insulin-sensitive fat/muscle-specific glucose transporter GLUT4 from an intracellular storage compartment to the cell surface. Here we report that an optimal insulin effect on glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 adipocytes is dependent upon expression of both PIKfyve, the sole enzyme for PtdIns 3,5-P(2) biosynthesis, and the PIKfyve activator, ArPIKfyve. Small-interfering RNAs that selectively ablated PIKfyve or ArPIKfyve in this cell type depleted the PtdIns 3,5-P(2) pool and reduced insulin-activated glucose uptake to a comparable degree. Combined loss of PIKfyve and ArPIKfyve caused further PtdIns 3,5-P(2) ablation that correlated with greater attenuation in insulin responsiveness. Loss of PIKfyve-ArPIKfyve reduced insulin-stimulated Akt phosphorylation and the cell surface accumulation of GLUT4 or IRAP, but not GLUT1-containing vesicles without affecting overall expression of these proteins. ArPIKfyve and PIKfyve were found to physically associate in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and this was insulin independent. In vitro labeling of membranes isolated from basal or insulin-stimulated 3T3-L1 adipocytes documented substantial insulin-dependent increases of PtdIns 3,5-P(2) production on intracellular membranes. Together, the data demonstrate for the first time a physical association between functionally related PIKfyve and ArPIKfyve in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and indicate that the novel ArPIKfyve-PIKfyve-PtdIns 3,5-P(2) pathway is physiologically linked to insulin-activated GLUT4 translocation and glucose transport.

Abstract
The yeast gene fab1 and its mammalian orthologue Pip5k3 encode the phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate [PtdIns(3)P] 5-kinases Fab1p and PIKfyve, respectively, enzymes that generates phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(3,5)P(2)]. A shared feature of fab1Delta yeast cells and mammalian cells overexpressing a kinase-dead PIKfyve mutant is the formation of a swollen vacuolar phenotype: a phenotype that is suggestive of a conserved function for these enzymes and their product, PtdIns(3,5)P(2), in the regulation of endomembrane homeostasis. In the current study, fixed and live cell imaging has established that, when overexpressed at low levels in HeLa cells, PIKfyve is predominantly associated with dynamic tubular and vesicular elements of the early endosomal compartment. Moreover, through the use of small interfering RNA, it has been shown that suppression of PIKfyve induces the formation of swollen endosomal structures that maintain their early and late endosomal identity. Although internalisation, recycling and degradative sorting of receptors for epidermal growth factor and transferrin was unperturbed in PIKfyve suppressed cells, a clear defect in endosome to trans-Golgi-network (TGN) retrograde traffic was observed. These data argue that PIKfyve is predominantly associated with the early endosome, from where it regulates retrograde membrane trafficking to the TGN. It follows that the swollen endosomal phenotype observed in PIKfyve-suppressed cells results primarily from a reduction in retrograde membrane fission rather than a defect in multivesicular body biogenesis.

Abstract
The trafficking of endocytosed receptors through phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate [PtdIns(3)P]-containing endosomes is thought to attenuate their signaling. Here, we show that the PtdIns(3)P 5-kinase Fab1/PIKfyve controls trafficking but not silencing of endocytosed receptors. Drosophila fab1 mutants contain undetectable phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate levels, show profound increases in cell and organ size, and die at the pupal stage. Mutant larvae contain highly enlarged multivesicular bodies and late endosomes that are inefficiently acidified. Clones of fab1 mutant cells accumulate Wingless and Notch, similarly to cells lacking Hrs, Vps25, and Tsg101, components of the endosomal sorting machinery for ubiquitinated membrane proteins. However, whereas hrs, vps25, and tsg101 mutant cell clones accumulate ubiquitinated cargo, this is not the case with fab1 mutants. Even though endocytic receptor trafficking is impaired in fab1 mutants, Notch, Wingless, and Dpp signaling is unaffected. We conclude that Fab1, despite its importance for endosomal functions, is not required for receptor silencing. This is consistent with the possibility that Fab1 functions at a late stage in endocytic receptor trafficking, at a point when signal termination has occurred.

Abstract
Perturbations in the intracellular PtdIns 3,5-P2pool or the downstream transmission of PtdIns 3,5-P2signals often result in a gradual development of gross morphological changes in the pleiomorphic multivesicular endosomes, culminating with the appearance of cytoplasmic vacuoles. To identify the onset of PtdIns 3,5-P2functional requirements along the endocytic system, in this study we characterized the morphological changes associated with early expression of the dominant-negative kinase-deficient form (K1831E) of the PtdIns 3,5-P2-producing kinase PIKfyve, before the formation of cytoplasmic vacuoles in transfected COS cells. Enlarged PIKfyveK1831E-positive vesicles co-localizing with dilated EEA1- and Rab5aWT-positive perinuclear endosomes were observed (WT, wild type). This was dependent on the presence of active forms of Rab5 and the generation of PtdIns 3-P-enriched platforms on early endosomess. Because PIKfyveWTdid not substantially colocalize with EEA1- or Rab5-positive endosomes in COS cells, the dynamic PIKfyve-catalyzed PtdIns 3-to-PtdIns 3,5-P2switch was suggested to drive away PIKfyveWTfrom early endosomes toward later compartments. Late endosomes/lysosomes marked by LAMP1 or Rab7 were dislocated from their typical perinuclear position upon PIKfyveK1831Eearly expression. Cytosols derived from cells stably expressing PIKfyveK1831Estimulated endosome fusion in vitro, whereas PIKfyveWT-enriched cytosols had the opposite effect, consistent with PtdIns 3,5-P2production negatively regulating the endosome fusion. Together, our data indicate that PtdIns 3,5-P2defines specific endosome platforms at the onset of the degradation pathway to regulate the complex process of membrane remodeling and dynamics.

Abstract
Membrane dynamics is necessary for cell homeostasis and signal transduction and is in part regulated by phosphoinositides. Pikfyve/Fab1p is a phosphoinositide kinase that phosphorylates phosphatidylinositol 3-monophosphate into phosphatidylinositol-3,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(3,5)P2] and is implicated in membrane homeostasis in yeast and in mammalian cells. These two phosphoinositides are substrates of myotubularin phosphatases found mutated in neuromuscular diseases. We studied the roles of phosphatidylinositol phosphate kinase 3 (PPK-3), the orthologue of PIKfyve/Fab1p, in a multicellular organism, Caenorhabditis elegans. Complete loss of ppk-3 function induces developmental defects characterized by embryonic lethality, whereas partial loss of function leads to growth retardation. At the cellular level, ppk-3 mutants display a striking enlargement of vacuoles positive for lysosome-associated membrane protein 1 in different tissues. In the intestine, RAB-7-positive late endosomes are also enlarged. Membranes of the enlarged lysosomes originate at least in part from smaller lysosomes, and functional and genetic analyses show that the terminal maturation of lysosomes is defective. Protein degradation is not affected in the hypomorphic ppk-3 mutant and is thus uncoupled from membrane retrieval. We measured the level of PtdIns(3,5)P2 and showed that its production is impaired in this mutant. This work strongly suggests that the main function of PPK-3 is to mediate membrane retrieval from matured lysosomes through regulation of PtdIns(3,5)P2.

Abstract
Invasion and survival in mammalian cells by Salmonella enterica is mediated by bacterial proteins that are delivered to the host cell cytoplasm by type III secretion systems. One of these proteins, SopB/SigD, is a phosphoinositide phosphatase that can hydrolyse a number of substrates in vitro including PtdIns(3,5)P2. These substrates are, however, likely to be restricted in vivo by the localization of SopB, as different phosphoinositides have distinct spatial distributions in mammalian cells. In the present study, we show that heterologously expressed SopB localizes almost exclusively to endosomes containing the lipid PtdIns(3)P, and on which ESCRT (endosomal sorting complexes required for transport) proteins assemble. Furthermore, we present evidence that SopB can inhibit trafficking of activated epidermal growth factor receptor to the lysosome. These results provide further evidence that PtdIns(3,5)P2, a lipid involved in endosomal maturation, may be a relevant in vivo substrate of SopB. We hypothesize that reduction of PtdIns(3,5)P2 levels in cells by the action of SopB may perturb the function of a subset of ESCRT proteins that have previously been shown to bind to this lipid.

Abstract
The remodeling of phosphatidylinositol polyphosphates in cellular membranes by phosphatases and kinases orchestrates the signaling by these lipids in space and time. To provide chemical tools to study the changes in cell physiology mediated by these lipids, three new metabolically stabilized (ms) analogues of phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PtdIns(3)P) were synthesized. We describe herein the total asymmetric synthesis of 3-methylphosphonate, 3-(monofluoromethyl)phosphonate and 3-phosphorothioate analogues of PtdIns(3)P. From differentially protected D-myo-inositol key intermediates, a versatile phosphoramidite reagent was employed in the synthesis of PtdIns(3)P analogues with diacylglyceryl moieties containing dioleoyl, dipalmitoyl, and dibutyryl chains. In addition, we introduce a new phosphorylation reagent, (monofluoromethyl)phosphonyl chloride, which has general applications for the preparation of "pKa-matched" monofluorophosphonates. These ms-PtdIns(3)P analogues exhibited reduced binding activities with 15N-labeled FYVE and PX domains, as significant 1H and 15N chemical shift changes in the FYVE domain were induced by titrating ms-PtdIns(3)P analogues into membrane-mimetic dodecylphosphocholine micelles. In addition, the PtdIns(3)P analogues with dioleoyl and dipalmitoyl chains were substrates for the 5-kinase enzyme PIKfyve; the corresponding phosphorylated ms-PI(3,5)P2 products were detected by radio-TLC analysis.

Abstract
The human type III phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, hVps34, converts phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) to phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate [PtdIns(3)P]. Studies using inhibitors of phosphatidylinositide 3-kinases have indicated that production of PtdIns(3)P is important for a variety of vesicle-mediated trafficking events, including endocytosis, sorting of receptors in multivesicular endosomes, and transport of lysosomal enzymes from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to the endosomes and lysosomes. This study utilizes small interfering (si)RNA-mediated gene silencing to define the specific trafficking pathways in which hVps34 functions in human U-251 glioblastoma cells. Suppression of hVps34 expression reduced the cellular growth rate and caused a striking accumulation of large acidic phase-lucent vacuoles that contain lysosomal membrane proteins LAMP1 and LGP85. Analysis of these structures by electron microscopy suggests that they represent swollen late endosomes that have lost the capacity for inward vesiculation but retain the capacity to fuse with lysosomes. Morphological perturbation of the late endosome compartment was accompanied by a reduced rate of processing of the endosomal intermediate form of cathepsin D to the mature lysosomal form. There was also a reduction in the rate of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) dephosphorylation and degradation following ligand stimulation, consistent with the retention of the EGFR on the limiting membranes of the enlarged late endosomes. By contrast, the suppression of hVps34 expression did not block trafficking of cathepsin D between the TGN and late endosomes, or endocytic uptake of fluid-phase markers, or association of a PtdIns(3)P-binding protein, EEA1, with early endosomes. LAMP1-positive vacuoles were depleted of PtdIns(3)P in the hVps34-knockdown cells, as judged by their inability to bind the PtdIns(3)P probe GFP-2xFYVE. By contrast, LAMP1-negative vesicles continued to bind GFP-2xFYVE in the knockdown cells.
Overall, these findings indicate that hVps34 plays a major role in generating PtdIns(3)P for internal vesicle formation in multivesicular/late endosomes. The findings also unexpectedly suggest that other wortmannin-sensitive kinases and/or polyphosphoinositide phosphatases may be able to compensate for the loss of hVps34 and maintain PtdIns(3)P levels required for vesicular trafficking in the early endocytic pathway or the TGN.

Abstract
Beclin 1 was originally identified as a novel Bcl-2-interacting protein, but co-immunoprecipitation studies suggest that the major physiological partner for Beclin 1 is the mammalian class III phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) Vps34. Beclin 1 has been proposed to function as a tumor suppressor by promoting cellular macroautophagy, a process that is known to depend on Vps34. However, an alternative role for Beclin 1 in modulating normal Vps34-dependent protein trafficking pathways has not been ruled out. This possibility was examined in U-251 glioblastoma cells. Immunoprecipitates of endogenous Beclin 1 contained human Vps34 (hVps34), but not Bcl-2. Suppression of Beclin 1 expression by short interfering (si)RNA-mediated gene silencing blunted the autophagic response of the cells to nutrient deprivation or C2-ceramide. However, other PI 3-kinase-dependent trafficking pathways, such as the post-endocytic sorting of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) or the proteolytic processing of procathepsin D en route from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to lysosomes, were not affected. Depletion of Beclin 1 did not reduce endocytic internalization of a fluid phase marker (horseradish peroxidase, HRP) or cause swelling of late endosomal compartments typically seen in cells where the function of hVps34 is impaired. These findings argue against a role for Beclin 1 as an essential chaperone or adaptor for hVps34 in normal vesicular trafficking, and they support the hypothesis that Beclin 1 functions mainly to engage hVps34 in the autophagic pathway.

Abstract
Multivesicular endosomes or prevacuolar compartments (PVCs) are membrane-bound organelles that play an important role in mediating protein traffic in the secretory and endocytic pathways of eukaryotic cells. PVCs function as an intermediate compartment for sorting proteins from the Golgi apparatus to vacuoles, sending missorted proteins back to the Golgi from the PVC, and receiving proteins from plasma membrane in the endocytic pathway. PVCs have been identified as multivesicular bodies in mammalian cells and yeast and more recently in plant cells. Whereas much is known about PVC-mediated protein trafficking and PVC biogenesis in mammalian cells and yeast, relatively little is known about the molecular mechanism of plant PVCs. In this review, we summarize and discuss our understanding of the plant PVC and compare it with its counterparts in yeast and mammalian cells.

Abstract
Polyphosphoinositides (PPIn) are low-abundance membrane phospholipids that each bind to a distinctive set of effector proteins and, thereby, regulate a characteristic suite of cellular processes. Major functions of phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(3,5)P(2)] are in membrane and protein trafficking, and in pH control in the endosome-lysosome axis. Recently identified PtdIns(3,5)P(2) effectors include a family of novel beta-propeller proteins, for which we propose the name PROPPINs [for beta-propeller(s) that binds PPIn], and possibly proteins of the epsin and CHMP (charged multi-vesicular body proteins) families. All eukaryotes, with the exception of some pathogenic protists and microsporidians, possess proteins needed for the formation, metabolism and functions of PtdIns(3,5)P(2). The importance of PtdIns(3,5)P(2) for normal cell function is underscored by recent evidence for its involvement in mammalian cell responses to insulin and for PtdIns(3,5)P(2) dysfunction in the human genetic conditions X-linked myotubular myopathy, Type-4B Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and fleck corneal dystrophy.

Abstract
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4B (CMT4B) is a severe, demyelinating peripheral neuropathy characterized by distinctive, focally folded myelin sheaths. CMT4B is caused by recessively inherited mutations in either myotubularin-related 2 (MTMR2) or MTMR13 (also called SET-binding factor 2). MTMR2 encodes a member of the myotubularin family of phosphoinositide-3-phosphatases, which dephosphorylate phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI(3)P) and bisphosphate PI(3,5)P2. MTMR13 encodes a large, uncharacterized member of the myotubularin family. The MTMR13 phosphatase domain is catalytically inactive because the essential Cys and Arg residues are absent. Given the genetic association of both MTMR2 and MTMR13 with CMT4B, we investigated the biochemical relationship between these two proteins. We found that the endogenous MTMR2 and MTMR13 proteins are associated in human embryonic kidney 293 cells. MTMR2-MTMR13 association is mediated by coiled-coil sequences present in each protein. We also examined the cellular localization of MTMR2 and MTMR13 using fluorescence microscopy and subcellular fractionation. We found that (i) MTMR13 is a predominantly membrane-associated protein; (ii) MTMR2 and MTMR13 cofractionate in both a light membrane fraction and a cytosolic fraction; and (iii) MTMR13 membrane association is mediated by the segment of the protein which contains the pseudophosphatase domain. This work, which describes the first cellular or biochemical investigation of the MTMR13 pseudophosphatase protein, suggests that MTMR13 functions in association with MTMR2. Loss of MTMR13 function in CMT4B2 patients may lead to alterations in MTMR2 function and subsequent alterations in 3-phosphoinositide signaling. Such a mechanism would explain the strikingly similar phenotypes of patients with recessive mutations in either MTMR2 or MTMR13.

Abstract
The phosphorylated derivatives of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns), known as the polyphosphoinositides (PIs), represent key membrane-localized signals in the regulation of fundamental cell processes, such as membrane traffic and cytoskeleton remodelling. The reversible production of the PIs is catalyzed through the combined activities of a number of specific phosphoinositide phosphatases and kinases that can either act separately or in concert on all the possible combinations of the 3, 4, and 5 positions of the inositol ring. So far, seven distinct PI species have been identified in mammalian cells and named according to their site(s) of phosphorylation: PtdIns 3-phosphate (PI3P); PtdIns 4-phosphate (PI4P); PtdIns 5-phosphate (PI5P); PtdIns 3,4-bisphosphate (PI3,4P2); PtdIns 4,5-bisphosphate (PI4,5P2); PtdIns 3,5-bisphosphate (PI3,5P2); and PtdIns 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PI3,4,5P3). Over the last decade, accumulating evidence has indicated that the different PIs serve not only as intermediates in the synthesis of the higher phosphorylated phosphoinositides, but also as regulators of different protein targets in their own right. These regulatory actions are mediated through the direct binding of their protein targets. In this way, the PIs can control the subcellular localization and activation of their various effectors, and thus execute a variety of cellular responses. To exert these functions, the metabolism of the PIs has to be finely regulated both in time and space, and this is achieved by controlling the subcellular distribution, regulation, and activation states of the enzymes involved in their synthesis and removal (kinases and phosphatases). These exist in many different isoforms, each of which appears to have a distinctive intracellular localization and regulation. As a consequence of this subcompartimentalized PI metabolism, a sort of "PI-fingerprint" of each cell membrane compartment is generated. When combined with the targeted recruitment of their protein effectors and the different intracellular distributions of other lipids and regulatory proteins (such as small GTPases), these factors can maintain and determine the identity of the cell organelles despite the extensive membrane flux []. Here, we provide an overview of the regulation and roles of different phosphoinositide kinases and phosphatases and their lipid products at the Golgi complex.

Abstract
François-Neetens fleck corneal dystrophy (CFD) is a rare, autosomal dominant corneal dystrophy characterized by numerous small white flecks scattered in all layers of the stroma. Linkage analysis localized CFD to a 24-cM (18-Mb) interval of chromosome 2q35 flanked by D2S2289 and D2S126 and containing PIP5K3. PIP5K3 is a member of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase family and regulates the sorting and traffic of peripheral endosomes that contain lysosomally directed fluid phase cargo, by controlling the morphogenesis and function of multivesicular bodies. Sequencing analysis disclosed missense, frameshift, and/or protein-truncating mutations in 8 of 10 families with CFD that were studied, including 2256delA, 2274delCT, 2709C-->T (R851X), 3120C-->T (Q988X), IVS19-1G-->C, 3246G-->T (E1030X), 3270C-->T (R1038X), and 3466A-->G (K1103R). The histological and clinical characteristics of patients with CFD are consistent with biochemical studies of PIP5K3 that indicate a role in endosomal sorting.

Abstract
Unlike yeast, where hyperosmotic stress induces a dramatic increase in phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns 3,5-P(2)) synthesis, in mammalian cells, although activating a complex array of signaling events, hyperosmotic stress fails to up-regulate PtdIns 3,5-P(2), indicating the PtdIns 3,5-P(2) pathway is not involved in mammalian osmo-protective responses. Here we report an unexpected and marked PtdIns 3,5-P(2) increase in response to hyperosmotic stress in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Because this effect was not observed in the precursor preadipocytes, a specific role during acquisition of the adipocyte phenotype and transition into insulin-responsive cells could be suggested. However, acute insulin action did not result in a measurable PtdIns 3,5-P(2) rise, indicating the PtdIns 3,5-P(2) pathway is a specific hyperosmotically activated signaling cascade selectively operating in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Hyperosmolarity activates different components of several kinase cascades, including p38 mitogen-activated protein and tyrosine kinases, but these appear to be separate from the activated PtdIns 3,5-P(2) pathway. Because PtdIns 3,5-P(2) is primarily produced by PIKfyve-catalyzed synthesis and requires the upstream activator hVac14 (called herein ArPIKfyve) that physically associates with and activates PIKfyve, we examined the contribution of ArPIKfyve-PIKfyve for the hyperosmotic stress-induced rise in PtdIns 3,5-P(2). Small interfering RNA-directed gene silencing to selectively deplete ArPIKfyve or PIKfyve in 3T3-L1 adipocytes determined the ArPIKfyve-PIKfyve axis fully accountable for the hyperosmotically activated PtdIns 3,5-P(2). Together these results reveal a previously uncharacterized PtdIns 3,5-P(2) pathway activated selectively in hyperosmotically stressed 3T3-L1 adipocytes and suggest a plausible role for PtdIns 3,5-P(2) in the osmo-protective response mechanism in this cell type.

Abstract
Multivesicular body morphology and size are controlled in part by PtdIns(3,5)P(2), produced in mammalian cells by PIKfyve-directed phosphorylation of PtdIns(3)P. Here we identify human Vac14 (hVac14), an evolutionarily conserved protein, present in all eukaryotes but studied principally in yeast thus far, as a novel positive regulator of PIKfyve enzymatic activity. In mammalian cells and tissues, Vac14 is a low-abundance 82-kDa protein, but its endogenous levels could be up-regulated upon ectopic expression of hVac14. PIKfyve and hVac14 largely cofractionated, populated similar intracellular locales, and physically associated. A small-interfering RNA-directed gene-silencing approach to selectively eliminate endogenous hVac14 rendered HEK293 cells susceptible to morphological alterations similar to those observed upon expression of PIKfyve mutants deficient in PtdIns(3,5)P(2) production. Largely decreased in vitro PIKfyve kinase activity and unaltered PIKfyve protein levels were detected under these conditions. Conversely, ectopic expression of hVac14 increased the intrinsic PIKfyve lipid kinase activity. Concordantly, intracellular PtdIns(3)P-to-PtdIns(3,5)P(2) conversion was perturbed by hVac14 depletion and was elevated upon ectopic expression of hVac14. These data demonstrate a major role of the PIKfyve-associated hVac14 protein in activating PIKfyve and thereby regulating PtdIns(3,5)P(2) synthesis and endomembrane homeostasis in mammalian cells.

Abstract
The Rab7 GTPase is a key regulator of late endocytic membrane transport and autophagy. Rab7 exerts temporal and spatial control over late endocytic membrane transport through interactions with various effector proteins. Among Rab7 effectors, the hVPS34/p150 phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 3-kinase complex serves to regulate late endosomal phosphatidylinositol signaling that is important for protein sorting and intraluminal vesicle sequestration. In this chapter, reagents and methods for the characterization of the interactions and regulation of the Rab7/hVPS34/p150 complex are described. Using these methods we demonstrate the requirement for activated Rab7 in the regulation of hVPS34/p150 PtdIns 3-kinase activity on late endosomes in vivo.

Abstract
The transport factor p40 is thought to assist Rab9 in mediating late-endosome-to-TGN vesicular transport. p40 was recently identified as an associated protein of the PtdIns 5-P/PtdIns 3,5-P2-producing kinase PIKFyve. Moreover, p40 recovery in membrane fractions appeared totally dependent on the presence of an intact enzymatic activity of PIKFyve, implying a mechanism of p40 membrane association dependent on membrane PtdIns 5-P and/or PtdIns 3,5-P2. Here we have evaluated plausible interaction of recombinant p40 with the PIKFyve products PtdIns 5-P and PtdIns 3,5-P2 by a synthetic-liposome binding assay.

Abstract
The small GTPase Rab5 is a key regulator of clathrin-mediated endocytosis. On early endosomes, within a spatially restricted domain enriched in phosphatydilinositol-3-phosphate [PI(3)P], Rab5 coordinates a complex network of effectors that functionally cooperate in membrane tethering, fusion, and organelle motility. Here we discovered a novel PI(3)P-binding Rab5 effector, Rabankyrin-5, which localises to early endosomes and stimulates their fusion activity. In addition to early endosomes, however, Rabankyrin-5 localises to large vacuolar structures that correspond to macropinosomes in epithelial cells and fibroblasts. Overexpression of Rabankyrin-5 increases the number of macropinosomes and stimulates fluid-phase uptake, whereas its downregulation inhibits these processes. In polarised epithelial cells, this function is primarily restricted to the apical membrane. Rabankyrin-5 localises to large pinocytic structures underneath the apical surface of kidney proximal tubule cells, and its overexpression in polarised Madin-Darby canine kidney cells stimulates apical but not basolateral, non-clathrin-mediated pinocytosis. In demonstrating a regulatory role in endosome fusion and (macro)pinocytosis, our studies suggest that Rab5 regulates and coordinates different endocytic mechanisms through its effector Rabankyrin-5. Furthermore, its active role in apical pinocytosis in epithelial cells suggests an important function of Rabankyrin-5 in the physiology of polarised cells.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate [PtdIns(3)P] regulates endocytic and autophagic membrane traffic. In order to understand the downstream effects of PtdIns(3)P in these processes, it is important to identify PtdIns(3)P-binding proteins, many of which contain FYVE zinc-finger domains. Here, we describe a novel giant FYVE-domain-containing protein, named autophagy-linked FYVE protein (Alfy). Alfy is ubiquitously expressed, shares sequence similarity with the Chediak-Higashi-syndrome protein and has putative homologues in flies, nematodes and fission yeast. Alfy binds PtdIns(3)P in vitro and partially colocalizes with PtdIns(3)P in vivo. Unlike most other FYVE-domain proteins, Alfy is not found on endosomes but instead localizes mainly to the nuclear envelope. When HeLa cells are starved or treated with a proteasome inhibitor, Alfy relocalizes to characteristic filamentous cytoplasmic structures located close to autophagic membranes and ubiquitin-containing protein aggregates. By electron microscopy, similar structures can be found within autophagosomes. We propose that Alfy might target cytosolic protein aggregates for autophagic degradation.

Abstract
PIKfyve, a kinase that displays specificity for phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns), PtdIns 3-phosphate (3-P), and proteins, is important in multivesicular body/late endocytic function. Enzymatically inactive PIKfyve mutants elicit enormous dilation of late endocytic structures, suggesting a role for PIKfyve in endosome-to-trans-Golgi network (TGN) membrane retrieval. Here we report that p40, a Rab9 effector reported previously to bind Rab9-GTP and stimulate endosome-to-TGN transport, interacts with PIKfyve as determined by yeast two-hybrid assays, glutathione S-transferase (GST) pull-down assays, and co-immunoprecipitation in doubly transfected HEK293 cells. The interaction engages the PIKfyve chaperonin domain and four out of the six C-terminally positioned kelch repeats in p40. Differential centrifugation in a HEK293 cell line, stably expressing PIKfyveWT, showed the membrane-associated immunoreactive p40 co-sedimenting with PIKfyve in the high speed pellet (HSP) fraction. Remarkably, similar analysis in a HEK293 cell line stably expressing dominant-negative kinase-deficient PIKfyveK1831E demonstrated a marked depletion of p40 from the HSP fraction. GST-p40 failed to specifically associate with the PIKfyve lipid products PtdIns 5-P and PtdIns 3,5-P2 in a liposome binding assay but was found to be an in vitro substrate of the PIKfyve serine kinase activity. A band with the p40 electrophoretic mobility was found to react with a phosphoserine-specific antibody mainly in the PIKfyveWT-containing fractions obtained by density gradient sedimentation of total membranes from PIKfyveWT-expressing HEK293 cells. Together these results identify the Rab9 effector p40 as a PIKfyve partner and suggest that p40-PIKfyve interaction and the subsequent PIKfyve-catalyzed p40 phosphorylation anchor p40 to discrete membranes facilitating late endosome-to-TGN transport.
