Shaw AL, Suresh S, Parson MAH, Harris NJ, Jenkins ML, Yip CK, Burke JE. Structure of calcineurin bound to PI4KA reveals dual interface in both PI4KA and FAM126A. Structure 2024:S0969-2126(24)00324-1. [PMID: 39216471 DOI: 10.1016/j.str.2024.08.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2024] [Revised: 07/02/2024] [Accepted: 08/06/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase alpha (PI4KA) maintains the phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) and phosphatidylserine pools of the plasma membrane. A key regulator of PI4KA is its association into a complex with TTC7 and FAM126 proteins. This complex can be regulated by the CNAβ1 isoform of the phosphatase calcineurin. We previously identified that CNAβ1 directly binds to FAM126A. Here, we report a cryoelectron microscopic (cryo-EM) structure of a truncated PI4KA complex bound to calcineurin, revealing a unique direct interaction between PI4KA and calcineurin. Hydrogen deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) and computational analysis show that calcineurin forms a complex with an evolutionarily conserved IKISVT sequence in PI4KA's horn domain. We also characterized conserved LTLT and PSISIT calcineurin binding sequences in the C terminus of FAM126A. These dual sites in PI4KA and FAM126A are both in close proximity to phosphorylation sites in the PI4KA complex, suggesting key roles of calcineurin-regulated phosphosites in PI4KA regulation. This work reveals novel insight into how calcineurin can regulate PI4KA activity.

Abstract
Despite recent studies implicating liquid-like biomolecular condensates in diverse cellular processes, many biomolecular condensates exist in a solid-like state, and their function and regulation are less understood. We show that the tumor suppressor Merlin, an upstream regulator of the Hippo pathway, localizes to both cell junctions and medial apical cortex in Drosophila epithelia, with the latter forming solid-like condensates that activate Hippo signaling. Merlin condensation required phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PI4P)-mediated plasma membrane targeting and was antagonistically controlled by Pez and cytoskeletal tension through plasma membrane PI4P regulation. The solid-like material properties of Merlin condensates are essential for physiological function and protect the condensates against external perturbations. Collectively, these findings uncover an essential role for solid-like condensates in normal physiology and reveal regulatory mechanisms for their formation and disassembly.

Abstract
The lipid kinase phosphatidylinositol 4 kinase III alpha (PI4KIIIa/PI4KA) is a master regulator of the lipid composition and asymmetry of the plasma membrane. PI4KA exists primarily in a heterotrimeric complex with its regulatory proteins TTC7 and FAM126. Fundamental to PI4KA activity is its targeted recruitment to the plasma membrane by the lipidated proteins EFR3A and EFR3B. Here, we report a cryo-EM structure of the C-terminus of EFR3A bound to the PI4KA-TTC7B-FAM126A complex, with extensive validation using both hydrogen deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS), and mutational analysis. The EFR3A C-terminus undergoes a disorder-order transition upon binding to the PI4KA complex, with an unexpected direct interaction with both TTC7B and FAM126A. Complex disrupting mutations in TTC7B, FAM126A, and EFR3 decrease PI4KA recruitment to the plasma membrane. Multiple post-translational modifications and disease linked mutations map to this site, providing insight into how PI4KA membrane recruitment can be regulated and disrupted in human disease.

Abstract
Most advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) patients cannot benefit from targeted therapy due to lack of actionable targets. By mining data from the DepMap, we identified FAM126B as a specific vulnerability in CRC cell lines exhibiting low FAM126A expression. Employing a combination of genetic perturbation and inducible protein degradation techniques, we demonstrate that FAM126A and FAM126B function in a redundant manner to facilitate the recruitment of PI4KIIIα to the plasma membrane for PI4P synthesis. Examination of data from TCGA and GTEx revealed that over 7% of CRC tumor samples exhibited loss of FAM126A expression, contrasting with uniform FAM126A expression in normal tissues. In both CRC cell lines and tumor samples, promoter hypermethylation correlated with the loss of FAM126A expression, which could be reversed by DNA methylation inhibitors. In conclusion, our study reveals that loss of FAM126A expression results in FAM126B dependency, thus proposing FAM126B as a therapeutic target for CRC treatment.

Abstract
The type III Phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase alpha (PI4KA) is an essential lipid kinase that is a master regulator of phosphoinositide signalling at the plasma membrane (PM). It produces the predominant pool of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) at the PM, with this being essential in lipid transport and in regulating the PLC and PI3K signalling pathways. PI4KA is essential and is highly conserved in all eukaryotes. In yeast, the PI4KA ortholog stt4 predominantly exists as a heterodimer with its regulatory partner ypp1. In higher eukaryotes, PI4KA instead primarily forms a heterotrimer with a TTC7 subunit (ortholog of ypp1) and a FAM126 subunit. In all eukaryotes PI4KA is recruited to the plasma membrane by the protein EFR3, which does not directly bind PI4KA, but instead binds to the TTC7/ypp1 regulatory partner. Misregulation in PI4KA or its regulatory partners is involved in myriad human diseases, including loss of function mutations in neurodevelopmental and inflammatory intestinal disorders and gain of function in human cancers. This review describes an in-depth analysis of the structure function of PI4KA and its regulatory partners, with a major focus on comparing and contrasting the differences in regulation of PI4KA throughout evolution.

Abstract
The chemokine receptor, CXCR4 signaling regulates cell growth, invasion, and metastasis to the bone-marrow niche in prostate cancer (PCa). Previously, we established that CXCR4 interacts with phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase IIIα (PI4KIIIα encoded by PI4KA) through its adaptor proteins and PI4KA overexpressed in the PCa metastasis. To further characterize how the CXCR4-PI4KIIIα axis promotes PCa metastasis, here we identify CXCR4 binds to PI4KIIIα adaptor proteins TTC7 and this interaction induce plasma membrane PI4P production in prostate cancer cells. Inhibiting PI4KIIIα or TTC7 reduces plasma membrane PI4P production, cellular invasion, and bone tumor growth. Using metastatic biopsy sequencing, we found PI4KA expression in tumors correlated with overall survival and contributes to immunosuppressive bone tumor microenvironment through preferentially enriching non-activated and immunosuppressive macrophage populations. Altogether we have characterized the chemokine signaling axis through CXCR4-PI4KIIIα interaction contributing to the growth of prostate cancer bone metastasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The actin cytoskeleton has a crucial role in the maintenance of the immune homeostasis by controlling various cellular processes, including cell migration. Mutations in TTC7A have been described as the cause of a primary immunodeficiency associated to different degrees of gut involvement and alterations in the actin cytoskeleton dynamics. OBJECTIVES This study investigates the impact of TTC7A deficiency in immune homeostasis. In particular, the role of the TTC7A/phosphatidylinositol 4 kinase type III α pathway in the control of leukocyte migration and actin dynamics. METHODS Microfabricated devices were leveraged to study cell migration and actin dynamics of murine and patient-derived leukocytes under confinement at the single-cell level. RESULTS We show that TTC7A-deficient lymphocytes exhibit an altered cell migration and reduced capacity to deform through narrow gaps. Mechanistically, TTC7A-deficient phenotype resulted from impaired phosphoinositide signaling, leading to the downregulation of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/AKT/RHOA regulatory axis and imbalanced actin cytoskeleton dynamics. TTC7A-associated phenotype resulted in impaired cell motility, accumulation of DNA damage, and increased cell death in dense 3-dimensional gels in the presence of chemokines. CONCLUSIONS These results highlight a novel role of TTC7A as a critical regulator of lymphocyte migration. Impairment of this cellular function is likely to contribute to the pathophysiology underlying progressive immunodeficiency in patients.

Abstract
Hypomyelinating leukodystrophies (HLDs) represent a group of congenital rare diseases for which the responsible genes have been identified in recent studies. In this review, we briefly describe the genetic/molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of HLD and the normal cellular functions of the related genes and proteins. An increasing number of studies have reported genetic mutations that cause protein misfolding, protein dysfunction, and/or mislocalization associated with HLD. Insight into the mechanisms of these pathways can provide new findings for the clinical treatments of HLD.

Abstract
Lipid phosphoinositides are master regulators of multiple cellular functions. Misregulation of the activity of the lipid kinases that generate phosphoinositides is causative of human diseases, including cancer, neurodegeneration, developmental disorders, immunodeficiencies, and inflammatory disease. This review will present a summary of recent discoveries on the roles of two phosphoinositide kinases (PI4KA and PIKfyve), which have emerged as targets for therapeutic intervention. Phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase alpha (PI4KA) generates PI4P at the plasma membrane and PIKfyve generates PI(3,5)P2 at endo-lysosomal membranes. Both of these enzymes exist as multi-protein mega complexes that are under myriad levels of regulation. Human disease can be caused by either loss or gain-of-function of these complexes, so understanding how they are regulated will be essential in the design of therapeutics. We will summarize insight into how these enzymes are regulated by their protein-binding partners, with a major focus on the unanswered questions of how their activity is controlled.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are many different types of Leukodystrophies. Specifically, children with hypomyelination and congenital cataract syndrome (HCC) in addition to motor retardation development, hypotonia and progressive spastic paraplegia, associated with cerebellar ataxia and peripheral neuropathy, have early bilateral cataracts and intellectual disability as pathognomonic symptoms. HCC rehabilitation treatment is not well defined, but a significant amount of evidence in the literature has demonstrated the effectiveness of occupational therapy (OT) treatment in children with similar symptomatology. For this reason, the aim of this study was to describe the improvement in the autonomies and social participation of a child with HCC following OT treatment. METHODS A.E. was a 9-year-old child with HCC with severe intellectual disability. OT intervention lasted 3 months biweekly and each session lasted 45 min. Each session was divided into two parts: The first part aimed to increase the child's active involvement through activities; the second part involved training in Activities of Daily living (ADL). The outcome measures were: ABILHAND-Kids; Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory; Comprehensive OT Evaluation Scale; ADL and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living. RESULTS A.E.'s outcome measure reported an improvement from an autonomy standpoint and in the child's general activity participation; there was also an increase in A.E.'s interpersonal skills. CONCLUSION OT treatment improved A.E.'s autonomy.

Abstract
Prostate cancer commonly metastasizes to bone due to its favorable microenvironment for cell growth and survival. Currently, the standard of care for metastatic prostate cancer is medical castration in conjunction with chemotherapeutic agents and newer anti-androgen/androgen receptor therapies. While these therapies aim to improve the quality of life in patients with advanced disease, resistance to these therapies is inevitable prompting the development of newer therapies to contain disease progression. The CXCL12/CXCR4 axis has previously been shown to be involved in prostate cancer cell homing to bone tissue, and new investigations found a novel interaction of Phosphatidyl Inositol 4 kinase IIIa (PI4KA) downstream of chemokine signaling. PI4KA phosphorylates at the 4th position on phosphatidylinositol (PI), to produce PI4P and is localized to the plasma membrane (PM). At the PM, PI4KA provides precursors for the generation of PI(4,5)P2, and PI(3,4,5)P3 and helps maintain PM identity through the recruitment of lipids and signaling proteins. PI4KA is recruited to the PM through evolutionarily conserved adaptor proteins, and in PC cells, CXCR4 binds with adaptor proteins to recruit PI4KA to the PM. The objective of this review is to summarize our understanding of the role that phosphatidyl inositol lipid messengers in cancer cells.

Abstract
Lipid phosphoinositides are master signaling molecules in eukaryotic cells and key markers of organelle identity. Because of these important roles, the kinases and phosphatases that generate phosphoinositides must be tightly regulated. Viruses can manipulate this regulation, with the Type III phosphatidylinositol 4-kinases (PI4KA and PI4KB) being hijacked by many RNA viruses to mediate their intracellular replication through the formation of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P)-enriched replication organelles (ROs). Different viruses have evolved unique approaches toward activating PI4K enzymes to form ROs, through both direct binding of PI4Ks and modulation of PI4K accessory proteins. This review will focus on PI4KA and PI4KB and discuss their roles in signaling, functions in membrane trafficking and manipulation by viruses. Our focus will be the molecular basis for how PI4KA and PI4KB are activated by both protein-binding partners and post-translational modifications, with an emphasis on understanding the different molecular mechanisms viruses have evolved to usurp PI4Ks. We will also discuss the chemical tools available to study the role of PI4Ks in viral infection.

Abstract
The chemokine receptor, CXCR4 signaling regulates cell growth, invasion, and metastasis to the bone-marrow niche in prostate cancer (PCa). Previously, we established that CXCR4 interacts with phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase IIIα (PI4KIIIα encoded by PI4KA) through its adaptor proteins and PI4KA overexpressed in the PCa metastasis. To further characterize how the CXCR4-PI4KIIIα axis promotes PCa metastasis, here we identify CXCR4 binds to PI4KIIIα adaptor proteins TTC7 and this interaction induce plasma membrane PI4P production in prostate cancer cells. Inhibiting PI4KIIIα or TTC7 reduces plasma membrane PI4P production, cellular invasion, and bone tumor growth. Using metastatic biopsy sequencing, we found PI4KA expression in tumors correlated with overall survival and contributes to immunosuppressive bone tumor microenvironment through preferentially enriching non-activated and immunosuppressive macrophage populations. Altogether we have characterized the chemokine signaling axis through CXCR4-PI4KIIIα interaction contributing to the growth of prostate cancer bone metastasis.

Abstract
Background Adult and pediatric tumors display stark differences in their mutation spectra and chromosome alterations. Here, we attempted to identify common and unique gene dependencies and their associated biomarkers among adult and pediatric tumor isolates using functional genetic lethal screens and computational modeling. Methods We performed CRISRP-Cas9 lethality screens in two adult glioblastoma (GBM) tumor isolates and five pediatric brain tumor isolates representing atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumors (ATRT), diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, GBM, and medulloblastoma. We then integrated the screen results with machine learning-based gene-dependency models generated from data from >900 cancer cell lines. Results We found that >50% of candidate dependencies of 280 identified were shared between adult GBM tumors and individual pediatric tumor isolates. 68% of screen hits were found as nodes in our network models, along with shared and tumor-specific predictors of gene dependencies. We investigated network predictors associated with ADAR, EFR3A, FGFR1 (pediatric-specific), and SMARCC2 (ATRT-specific) gene dependency among our tumor isolates. Conclusions The results suggest that, despite harboring disparate genomic signatures, adult and pediatric tumor isolates share a preponderance of genetic dependences. Further, combining data from primary brain tumor lethality screens with large cancer cell line datasets produced valuable insights into biomarkers of gene dependency, even for rare cancers. Importance of the Study Our results demonstrate that large cancer cell lines data sets can be computationally mined to identify known and novel gene dependency relationships in adult and pediatric human brain tumor isolates. Gene dependency networks and lethality screen results represent a key resource for neuro-oncology and cancer research communities. We also highlight some of the challenges and limitations of this approach.

Abstract
Intracellular Ca2+ signals are temporally controlled and spatially restricted. Signaling occurs adjacent to sites of Ca2+ entry and/or release, where Ca2+-dependent effectors and their substrates co-localize to form signaling microdomains. Here we review signaling by calcineurin, the Ca2+/calmodulin regulated protein phosphatase and target of immunosuppressant drugs, Cyclosporin A and FK506. Although well known for its activation of the adaptive immune response via NFAT dephosphorylation, systematic mapping of human calcineurin substrates and regulators reveals unexpected roles for this versatile phosphatase throughout the cell. We discuss calcineurin function, with an emphasis on where signaling occurs and mechanisms that target calcineurin and its substrates to signaling microdomains, especially binding of cognate short linear peptide motifs (SLiMs). Calcineurin is ubiquitously expressed and regulates events at the plasma membrane, other intracellular membranes, mitochondria, the nuclear pore complex and centrosomes/cilia. Based on our expanding knowledge of localized CN actions, we describe a cellular atlas of Ca2+/calcineurin signaling.

Abstract
Objective. Chronic stress (CS)-induced abnormal metabolism and other subsequent aspects of abnormality are threatening human health. Little is known regarding whether and how protein post-translational-modifications (PTMs) correlate with abnormal metabolism under CS. The aim of this study was to address this issue and also identify novel key protein PTM. Methods. First, we screened which pan-PTM had significant change between control and CS female mice and whether clinical CS females had similar pan-PTM change. Second, we performed quantitative PTM-omics and metabolomics to verify the correlation between abnormal protein PTMs and atypical metabolism. Third, we performed quantitative phospho-omics to identify the key PTM-regulating enzyme and investigate the interaction between PTM protein and PTM-regulating enzyme. Fourth, we attempted to rectify the abnormal metabolism by correcting the activity of the PTM-regulating enzyme. Finally, we examined whether the selected key protein was also correlated with stress scores and atypical metabolism in clinical women. Results. We initially found that multiple tissues of CS female mice have downregulated pan-crotonylation, and verified that the plasma of clinical CS females also had downregulated pan-crotonylation. Then we determined that ATP5O-K51 crotonylation decreased the most and also caused gross ATP5O decrement, whereas the plasma of CS mice had downregulated phospholipids. Next, downregulating ATP5O crotonylation partially recapitulated the downregulated phospholipid metabolism in CS mice. Next, we verified that HDAC2-S424 phosphorylation determined its decrotonylation activity on ATP5O-K51. Furthermore, correcting HDAC2 hyper-phosphorylation recovered the gross ATP5O level and partially rescued the downregulated phospholipid metabolism in CS mice. Finally, the ATP5O level was also significantly lower and correlated with high stress scores and downregulated phospholipid metabolism in clinical female plasma. Conclusion. This study discovered a novel PTM mechanism involving two distinct types of PTM in CS and provided a novel reference for the clinical precautions and treatments of CS.

Abstract
Lipid phosphoinositides are master regulators of almost all aspects of a cell's life and death and are generated by the tightly regulated activity of phosphoinositide kinases. Although extensive efforts have focused on drugging class I phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks), recent years have revealed opportunities for targeting almost all phosphoinositide kinases in human diseases, including cancer, immunodeficiencies, viral infection and neurodegenerative disease. This has led to widespread efforts in the clinical development of potent and selective inhibitors of phosphoinositide kinases. This Review summarizes our current understanding of the molecular basis for the involvement of phosphoinositide kinases in disease and assesses the preclinical and clinical development of phosphoinositide kinase inhibitors.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol-4-kinase alpha (PI4KIIIα), encoded by the PI4KA gene, can synthesize phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PI-4-P), which serves as a specific membrane marker and is instrumental in signal transduction. PI4KA mutations can cause autosomal recessive diseases involving neurological, intestinal, and immunological conditions (OMIM:619621, 616531, 619708). We detected sepsis, severe diarrhea, and decreased immunoglobulin levels in one neonate. Two novel compound heterozygous mutations, c.5846T>C (p.Leu1949Pro) and c.3453C>T (p.Gly1151=), were identified in the neonate from the father and the mother, respectively. Sanger sequencing and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for peripheral blood and minigene splicing assays showed a deletion of five bases (GTGAG) with the c.3453C>T variant at the mRNA level, which could result in a truncated protein (p.Gly1151GlyfsTer17). The missense mutation c.5846T>C (p.Leu1949Pro) kinase activity was measured, and little or no catalytic activity was detected. According to the clinical characteristics and gene mutations with functional verification, our pediatricians diagnosed the child with a combined immunodeficiency and intestinal disorder close to gastrointestinal defects and immunodeficiency syndrome 2 (GIDID2; OMIM: 619708). Medicines such as immunomodulators are prescribed to balance immune dysregulation. This study is the first report of a synonymous mutation in the PI4KA gene that influences alternative splicing. Our findings expand the mutation spectrum leading to PI4KIIIa deficiency-related diseases and provide exact information for genetic counseling.

Abstract
Fasting exerts beneficial effects in mice and humans, including protection from chemotherapy toxicity. To explore the involved mechanisms, we collect blood from humans and mice before and after 36 or 24 hours of fasting, respectively, and measure lipid composition of erythrocyte membranes, circulating micro RNAs (miRNAs), and RNA expression at peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Fasting coordinately affects the proportion of polyunsaturated versus saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids at the erythrocyte membrane; and reduces the expression of insulin signaling-related genes in PBMCs. When fasted for 24 hours before and 24 hours after administration of oxaliplatin or doxorubicin, mice show a strong protection from toxicity in several tissues. Erythrocyte membrane lipids and PBMC gene expression define two separate groups of individuals that accurately predict a differential protection from chemotherapy toxicity, with important clinical implications. Our results reveal a mechanism of fasting associated with lipid homeostasis, and provide biomarkers of fasting to predict fasting-mediated protection from chemotherapy toxicity. Fasting has been reported to protect from chemotherapy-associated toxicity. Here, the authors show that fatty acid profiles in erythrocyte membranes and gene expression from peripheral blood mononuclear cells are associated to the fasting-mediated benefits during cancer treatment in mice and patients.

Abstract
Leukodystrophies are a broad spectrum of neurological disorders that are characterized primarily by deficiencies in myelin formation. Clinical manifestations of leukodystrophies usually appear during childhood and common symptoms include lack of motor coordination, difficulty with or loss of ambulation, issues with vision and/or hearing, cognitive decline, regression in speech skills, and even seizures. Many cases of leukodystrophy can be attributed to genetic mutations, but they have diverse inheritance patterns (e.g., autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant, or X-linked) and some arise from de novo mutations. In this review, we provide an updated overview of 35 types of leukodystrophies and focus on cellular mechanisms that may underlie these disorders. We find common themes in specialized functions in oligodendrocytes, which are specialized producers of membranes and myelin lipids. These mechanisms include myelin protein defects, lipid processing and peroxisome dysfunction, transcriptional and translational dysregulation, disruptions in cytoskeletal organization, and cell junction defects. In addition, non-cell-autonomous factors in astrocytes and microglia, such as autoimmune reactivity, and intercellular communication, may also play a role in leukodystrophy onset. We hope that highlighting these themes in cellular dysfunction in leukodystrophies may yield conceptual insights on future therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate (PIP2) are key phosphoinositides that determine the identity of the plasma membrane (PM) and regulate numerous key biological events there. To date, mechanisms regulating the homeostasis and dynamic turnover of PM PI4P and PIP2 in response to various physiological conditions and stresses remain to be fully elucidated. Here, we report that hypoxia in Drosophila induces acute and reversible depletion of PM PI4P and PIP2 that severely disrupts the electrostatic PM targeting of multiple polybasic polarity proteins. Genetically encoded ATP sensors confirmed that hypoxia induces acute and reversible reduction of cellular ATP levels which showed a strong real-time correlation with the levels of PM PI4P and PIP2 in cultured cells. By combining genetic manipulations with quantitative imaging assays we showed that PI4KIIIα, as well as Rbo/EFR3 and TTC7 that are essential for targeting PI4KIIIα to PM, are required for maintaining the homeostasis and dynamic turnover of PM PI4P and PIP2 under normoxia and hypoxia. Our results revealed that in cells challenged by energetic stresses triggered by hypoxia, ATP inhibition and possibly ischemia, dramatic turnover of PM PI4P and PIP2 could have profound impact on many cellular processes including electrostatic PM targeting of numerous polybasic proteins.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) is a low abundant phospholipid with important roles in lipid transport and membrane trafficking. However, little is known of its metabolism and function in neurons. Here, we investigate its subcellular distribution and functional roles in dendrites of rodent hippocampal neurons during resting state and long-term synaptic potentiation (LTP). We show that neural activity causes dynamic reversible changes in PI4P metabolism in dendrites. Upon LTP induction, PI4KIIIα, a type III phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase, localizes to the dendritic plasma membrane (PM) in a calcium-dependent manner and causes substantial increase in the levels of PI4P. Acute inhibition of PI4KIIIα activity abolishes trafficking of the AMPA-type glutamate receptor to the PM during LTP induction, and silencing of PI4KIIIα expression in the hippocampal CA1 region causes severe impairment of LTP and long-term memory. Collectively, our results identify an essential role for PI4KIIIα-dependent PI4P synthesis in synaptic plasticity of central nervous system neurons.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase IIIα (PI4KIIIα) is the major enzyme responsible for generating phosphatidylinositol (4)-phosphate [PI(4)P] at the plasma membrane. This lipid kinase forms two multicomponent complexes, both including a palmitoylated anchor, EFR3. Whereas both PI4KIIIα complexes support production of PI(4)P, the distinct functions of each complex and mechanisms underlying the interplay between them remain unknown. Here, we present roles for differential palmitoylation patterns within a tri-cysteine motif in EFR3B (Cys5, Cys7 and Cys8) in controlling the distribution of PI4KIIIα between these two complexes at the plasma membrane and corresponding functions in phosphoinositide homeostasis. Spacing of palmitoyl groups within three doubly palmitoylated EFR3B 'lipoforms' affects both interactions between EFR3B and TMEM150A, a transmembrane protein governing formation of a PI4KIIIα complex functioning in rapid phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] resynthesis following phospholipase C signaling, and EFR3B partitioning within liquid-ordered and -disordered regions of the plasma membrane. This work identifies a palmitoylation code involved in controlling protein-protein and protein-lipid interactions that affect a plasma membrane-resident lipid biosynthetic pathway.

Abstract
Rare autosomal-recessive variants in tetratricopeptide repeat domain 7A (TTC7A) gene have been shown to cause intestinal and immune disorders of variable severity. Missense mutations in TTC7A gene, usually retaining most of the functional motifs, is associated with relative milder clinical presentations. In this study, we reported a patient who was suffering from severe multiple intestinal atresia (MIA) with combined immunodeficiency (CID) that led to the pyloric diaphragm, ileum atresia, colon stenosis, and multiple episodes of sepsis. In spite of several surgeries and supportive treatment, the patient died of severe sepsis and multiple organ failure at age of 3 months. The whole exome sequencing (WES) of peripheral blood samples identified a novel homozygous TTC7A missense mutation (c. 206T>C, p. L69P), inherited from his parents with consanguineous marriage. In silico analysis revealed that a hydrogen bond present between Gly65 and Leu69 in the wild-type TTC7A was disrupted by the Leu69Pro mutation. Moreover, this homozygous missense mutation led to a reduced TTC7A expression in lymphocytes and intestinal tissues, accompanied by impeded lymphocyte development. Further studies demonstrated that the PI4K-FAM126A-EFR3A pathway was impaired in colon tissues. Our data strongly support the linkage of severe MIA-CID with the missense mutation in TTC7A gene. More knowledge of the TTC7A protein functions will have important therapeutic implications for patients with MIA-CID.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides are membrane phospholipids involved in a variety of cellular processes like growth, development, metabolism, and transport. This review focuses on the maintenance of cellular homeostasis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3). The critical balance of these PIPs is crucial for regulation of neuronal form and function. The activity of PIP2 and PIP3 can be regulated through kinases, phosphatases, phospholipases and cholesterol microdomains. PIP2 and PIP3 carry out their functions either indirectly through their effectors activating integral signaling pathways, or through direct regulation of membrane channels, transporters, and cytoskeletal proteins. Any perturbations to the balance between PIP2 and PIP3 signaling result in neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders. This review will discuss the upstream modulators and downstream effectors of the PIP2 and PIP3 signaling, in the context of neuronal health and disease.

Hyccin/FAM126A deficiency reduces glial enrichment and axonal sheath, which are rescued by overexpression of a plasma membrane-targeting PI4KIIIα in Drosophila. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2022; 589:71-77.

Abstract
Hyccin/FAM126A mutations are linked to hypomyelination and congenital cataract disease (HCC), but whether and how Hyccin/FAM126A deficiency causes hypomyelination remains undetermined. This study shows Hyccin/FAM126A expression was necessary for the expression of other components of the PI4KIIIα complex in Drosophila. Knockdown of Hyccin/FAM126A in glia reduced the enrichment of glial cells, disrupted axonal sheaths and visual ability in the visual system, and these defects could be fully rescued by overexpressing either human FAM126A or FAM126B, and partially rescued by overexpressing a plasma membrane-targeting recombinant mouse PI4KIIIα. Additionally, PI4KIIIα knockdown in glia phenocopied Hyccin/FAM126A knockdown, and this was partially rescued by overexpressing the recombinant PI4KIIIα, but not human FAM126A or FAM126B. This study establishes an animal model of HCC and indicates that Hyccin/FAM126A plays an essential role in glial enrichment and axonal sheath in a cell-autonomous manner in the visual system via controlling the expression and stabilization of the PI4KIIIα complex at the plasma membrane.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides are low-abundant lipids that participate in the acquisition of membrane identity through their spatiotemporal enrichment in specific compartments. Phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) accumulates at the plant plasma membrane driving its high electrostatic potential, and thereby facilitating interactions with polybasic regions of proteins. PI4Kα1 has been suggested to produce PI4P at the plasma membrane, but how it is recruited to this compartment is unknown. Here, we pin-point the mechanism that tethers Arabidopsis thaliana phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase alpha1 (PI4Kα1) to the plasma membrane via a nanodomain-anchored scaffolding complex. We established that PI4Kα1 is part of a complex composed of proteins from the NO-POLLEN-GERMINATION, EFR3-OF-PLANTS, and HYCCIN-CONTAINING families. Comprehensive knockout and knockdown strategies revealed that subunits of the PI4Kα1 complex are essential for pollen, embryonic, and post-embryonic development. We further found that the PI4Kα1 complex is immobilized in plasma membrane nanodomains. Using synthetic mis-targeting strategies, we demonstrate that a combination of lipid anchoring and scaffolding localizes PI4Kα1 to the plasma membrane, which is essential for its function. Together, this work opens perspectives on the mechanisms and function of plasma membrane nanopatterning by lipid kinases.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides are signalling lipids derived from phosphatidylinositol, a ubiquitous phospholipid in the cytoplasmic leaflet of eukaryotic membranes. Initially discovered for their roles in cell signalling, phosphoinositides are now widely recognized as key integrators of membrane dynamics that broadly impact on all aspects of cell physiology and on disease. The past decade has witnessed a vast expansion of our knowledge of phosphoinositide biology. On the endocytic and exocytic routes, phosphoinositides direct the inward and outward flow of membrane as vesicular traffic is coupled to the conversion of phosphoinositides. Moreover, recent findings on the roles of phosphoinositides in autophagy and the endolysosomal system challenge our view of lysosome biology. The non-vesicular exchange of lipids, ions and metabolites at membrane contact sites in between organelles has also been found to depend on phosphoinositides. Here we review our current understanding of how phosphoinositides shape and direct membrane dynamics to impact on cell physiology, and provide an overview of emerging concepts in phosphoinositide regulation.

Abstract
The development of cell polarity in epithelia, is critical for tissue morphogenesis and vectorial transport between the environment and the underlying tissue. Epithelial polarity is defined by the development of distinct plasma membrane domains: the apical membrane interfacing with the exterior lumen compartment, and the basolateral membrane directly contacting the underlying tissue. The de novo generation of polarity is a tightly regulated process, both spatially and temporally, involving changes in the distribution of plasma membrane lipids, localization of apical and basolateral membrane proteins, and vesicular trafficking. Historically, the process of epithelial polarity has been primarily described in relation to the localization and function of protein 'polarity complexes.' However, a critical and foundational role is emerging for plasma membrane lipids, and in particular phosphoinositide species. Here, we broadly review the evidence for a primary role for membrane lipids in the generation of epithelial polarity and highlight key areas requiring further research. We discuss the complex interchange that exists between lipid species and briefly examine how major membrane lipid constituents are generated and intersect with vesicular trafficking to be preferentially localized to different membrane domains with a focus on some of the key protein-enzyme complexes involved in these processes.

Abstract
KRAS is mutated in 90% of human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDACs). To function, KRAS must localize to the plasma membrane (PM) via a C-terminal membrane anchor that specifically engages phosphatidylserine (PtdSer). This anchor-binding specificity renders KRAS-PM localization and signaling capacity critically dependent on PM PtdSer content. We now show that the PtdSer lipid transport proteins, ORP5 and ORP8, which are essential for maintaining PM PtdSer levels and hence KRAS PM localization, are required for KRAS oncogenesis. Knockdown of either protein, separately or simultaneously, abrogated growth of KRAS-mutant but not KRAS-wild-type pancreatic cancer cell xenografts. ORP5 or ORP8 knockout also abrogated tumor growth in an immune-competent orthotopic pancreatic cancer mouse model. Analysis of human datasets revealed that all components of this PtdSer transport mechanism, including the PM-localized EFR3A-PI4KIIIα complex that generates phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PI4P), and endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized SAC1 phosphatase that hydrolyzes counter transported PI4P, are significantly up-regulated in pancreatic tumors compared to normal tissue. Taken together, these results support targeting PI4KIIIα in KRAS-mutant cancers to deplete the PM-to-ER PI4P gradient, reducing PM PtdSer content. We therefore repurposed the US Food and Drug Administration-approved hepatitis C antiviral agent, simeprevir, as a PI4KIIIα inhibitor In a PDAC setting. Simeprevir potently mislocalized KRAS from the PM, reduced the clonogenic potential of pancreatic cancer cell lines in vitro, and abrogated the growth of KRAS-dependent tumors in vivo with enhanced efficacy when combined with MAPK and PI3K inhibitors. We conclude that the cellular ER-to-PM PtdSer transport mechanism is essential for KRAS PM localization and oncogenesis and is accessible to therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides are lipids that play a critical role in processes such as cellular signalling, ion channel activity and membrane trafficking. When mutated, several genes that encode proteins that participate in the metabolism of these lipids give rise to neurological or developmental phenotypes. PI4KA is a phosphoinositide kinase that is highly expressed in the brain and is essential for life. Here we used whole exome or genome sequencing to identify 10 unrelated patients harbouring biallelic variants in PI4KA that caused a spectrum of conditions ranging from severe global neurodevelopmental delay with hypomyelination and developmental brain abnormalities to pure spastic paraplegia. Some patients presented immunological deficits or genito-urinary abnormalities. Functional analyses by western blotting and immunofluorescence showed decreased PI4KA levels in the patients’ fibroblasts. Immunofluorescence and targeted lipidomics indicated that PI4KA activity was diminished in fibroblasts and peripheral blood mononuclear cells. In conclusion, we report a novel severe metabolic disorder caused by PI4KA malfunction, highlighting the importance of phosphoinositide signalling in human brain development and the myelin sheath.

Abstract
Calcineurin, the conserved protein phosphatase and target of immunosuppressants, is a critical mediator of Ca2+ signaling. Here, to discover calcineurin-regulated processes we examined an understudied isoform, CNAβ1. We show that unlike canonical cytosolic calcineurin, CNAβ1 localizes to the plasma membrane and Golgi due to palmitoylation of its divergent C-terminal tail, which is reversed by the ABHD17A depalmitoylase. Palmitoylation targets CNAβ1 to a distinct set of membrane-associated interactors including the phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase (PI4KA) complex containing EFR3B, PI4KA, TTC7B and FAM126A. Hydrogen-deuterium exchange reveals multiple calcineurin-PI4KA complex contacts, including a calcineurin-binding peptide motif in the disordered tail of FAM126A, which we establish as a calcineurin substrate. Calcineurin inhibitors decrease PI4P production during Gq-coupled GPCR signaling, suggesting that calcineurin dephosphorylates and promotes PI4KA complex activity. In sum, this work discovers a calcineurin-regulated signaling pathway which highlights the PI4KA complex as a regulatory target and reveals that dynamic palmitoylation confers unique localization, substrate specificity and regulation to CNAβ1.

Oncogenic KRAS is dependent upon an EFR3A-PI4KA signaling axis for potent tumorigenic activity. Nat Commun 2021; 12:5248.

Abstract
The HRAS, NRAS, and KRAS genes are collectively mutated in a fifth of all human cancers. These mutations render RAS GTP-bound and active, constitutively binding effector proteins to promote signaling conducive to tumorigenic growth. To further elucidate how RAS oncoproteins signal, we mined RAS interactomes for potential vulnerabilities. Here we identify EFR3A, an adapter protein for the phosphatidylinositol kinase PI4KA, to preferentially bind oncogenic KRAS. Disrupting EFR3A or PI4KA reduces phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate, phosphatidylserine, and KRAS levels at the plasma membrane, as well as oncogenic signaling and tumorigenesis, phenotypes rescued by tethering PI4KA to the plasma membrane. Finally, we show that a selective PI4KA inhibitor augments the antineoplastic activity of the KRASG12C inhibitor sotorasib, suggesting a clinical path to exploit this pathway. In sum, we have discovered a distinct KRAS signaling axis with actionable therapeutic potential for the treatment of KRAS-mutant cancers. The lipid composition of the plasma membrane defines the localisation of KRAS and its oncogenic function. Here the authors show that EFR3A binds to active KRAS to recruit PI4KA and alters the lipid composition of the plasma membrane to promote KRAS oncogenic signalling and tumorigenesis.

Abstract
The dynamic metabolism of membrane phosphoinositide lipids involves several cellular compartments including the ER, Golgi, and plasma membrane. There are cycles of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation and of synthesis, transfer, and breakdown. The simplified phosphoinositide cycle comprises synthesis of phosphatidylinositol in the ER, transport, and phosphorylation in the Golgi and plasma membranes to generate phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, followed by receptor-stimulated hydrolysis in the plasma membrane and return of the components to the ER for reassembly. Using probes for specific lipid species, we have followed and analyzed the kinetics of several of these events during stimulation of M1 muscarinic receptors coupled to the G-protein Gq. We show that during long continued agonist action, polyphosphorylated inositol lipids are initially depleted but then regenerate while agonist is still present. Experiments and kinetic modeling reveal that the regeneration results from gradual but massive up-regulation of PI 4-kinase pathways rather than from desensitization of receptors. Golgi pools of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate and the lipid kinase PI4KIIIα (PI4KA) contribute to this homeostatic regeneration. This powerful acceleration, which may be at the level of enzyme activity or of precursor and product delivery, reveals strong regulatory controls in the phosphoinositide cycle.

Abstract
HIV-associated neurological dysfunction is observed in more than half of the HIV-infected population, even in the current antiretroviral era. The mechanisms by which HIV mediates CNS dysfunction are not well understood but have been associated with the presence of long-lasting HIV reservoirs. In the CNS, macrophage/microglia and a small population of astrocytes harbor the virus. However, the low number of HIV-infected cells does not correlate with the high degree of damage, suggesting that mechanisms of damage amplification may be involved. Here, we demonstrate that the survival mechanism of HIV-infected cells and the apoptosis of surrounding uninfected cells is regulated by inter-organelle interactions among the mitochondria/Golgi/endoplasmic reticulum system and the associated signaling mediated by IP3 and calcium. We identified that latently HIV-infected astrocytes had elevated intracellular levels of IP3, a master regulator second messenger, which diffuses via gap junctions into neighboring uninfected astrocytes resulting in their apoptosis. In addition, using laser capture microdissection, we confirmed that bystander apoptosis of uninfected astrocytes and the survival of HIV-infected astrocytes were dependent on mitochondrial function, intracellular calcium, and IP3 signaling. Blocking gap junction channels did not prevent an increase in IP3 or inter-organelle dysfunction in HIV-infected cells but reduced the amplification of apoptosis into uninfected neighboring cells. Our data provide a mechanistic explanation for bystander damage induced by surviving infected cells that serve as viral reservoirs and provide potential targets for interventions to reduce the devastating consequences of HIV within the brain.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase IIIα (PI4KIIIα/PI4KA/OMIM:600286) is a lipid kinase generating phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P), a membrane phospholipid with critical roles in the physiology of multiple cell types. PI4KIIIα’s role in PI4P generation requires its assembly into a heterotetrameric complex with EFR3, TTC7 and FAM126. Sequence alterations in two of these molecular partners, TTC7 (encoded by TTC7A or TCC7B) and FAM126, have been associated with a heterogeneous group of either neurological (FAM126A) or intestinal and immunological (TTC7A) conditions. Here we show that biallelic PI4KA sequence alterations in humans are associated with neurological disease, in particular hypomyelinating leukodystrophy. In addition, affected individuals may present with inflammatory bowel disease, multiple intestinal atresia and combined immunodeficiency. Our cellular, biochemical and structural modelling studies indicate that PI4KA-associated phenotypical outcomes probably stem from impairment of PI4KIIIα-TTC7-FAM126's organ-specific functions, due to defective catalytic activity or altered intra-complex functional interactions. Together, these data define PI4KA gene alteration as a cause of a variable phenotypical spectrum and provide fundamental new insight into the combinatorial biology of the PI4KIIIα-FAM126-TTC7-EFR3 molecular complex.

Abstract
Possible segregation of plasma membrane (PM) phosphoinositide metabolism in membrane lipid domains is not fully understood. We exploited two differently lipidated peptide sequences, L10 and S15, to mark liquid-ordered, cholesterol-rich (Lo) and liquid-disordered, cholesterol-poor (Ld) domains of the PM, often called raft and nonraft domains, respectively. Imaging of the fluorescent labels verified that L10 segregated into cholesterol-rich Lo phases of cooled giant plasma-membrane vesicles (GPMVs), whereas S15 and the dye FAST DiI cosegregated into cholesterol-poor Ld phases. The fluorescent protein markers were used as Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) pairs in intact cells. An increase of homologous FRET between L10 probes showed that depleting membrane cholesterol shrank Lo domains and enlarged Ld domains, whereas a decrease of L10 FRET showed that adding more cholesterol enlarged Lo and shrank Ld Heterologous FRET signals between the lipid domain probes and phosphoinositide marker proteins suggested that phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P 2] and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns4P) are present in both Lo and Ld domains. In kinetic analysis, muscarinic-receptor-activated phospholipase C (PLC) depleted PtdIns(4,5)P 2 and PtdIns4P more rapidly and produced diacylglycerol (DAG) more rapidly in Lo than in Ld Further, PtdIns(4,5)P 2 was restored more rapidly in Lo than in Ld Thus destruction and restoration of PtdIns(4,5)P 2 are faster in Lo than in Ld This suggests that Lo is enriched with both the receptor G protein/PLC pathway and the PtdIns/PI4-kinase/PtdIns4P pathway. The significant kinetic differences of lipid depletion and restoration also mean that exchange of lipids between these domains is much slower than free diffusion predicts.

Abstract
Purpose: Bilateral childhood cataracts can be caused by a metabolic disease, constitute a part of a syndrome, run in families, be sporadic or iatrogenic. The amount of work-up needed to establish a cause is discussed and the aim of the present study was to evaluate causes of bilateral childhood cataract.Methods: Chart review of 211 Danish children with bilateral cataracts. Information on work-up was retrieved with special focus on general health, metabolic screening, evaluation for congenital infections and genetic testing.Results: Cataract was seen in combination with systemic disease in 40.8%, 29.4% had hereditary cataracts, 27.0% had isolated cataract, in 1.4% it was associated with ocular malformations and 1.4% had been born prematurely without any other sequelae than the cataract. A genetic cause could be demonstrated in 74 children.Conclusion: Systemic comorbidities are very common in children with cataract and are not always known prior to the diagnosis of cataract. Genetic evaluation, especially targeted analyses, provided a molecular genetic diagnosis in a large proportion of those tested but it also failed to provide a molecular genetic diagnosis in some patients with a family history suggesting autosomal dominant inheritance. Most importantly, in some patients, genetic work-up provided a diagnosis in patients where it had therapeutic consequences and where the systemic disease would have caused irreversible damage, had it not been treated timely. Given the high prevalence of systemic disease, it seems advisable to co-manage children with bilateral cataracts with a pediatrician and to include genetic evaluation as part of the work-up.

Abstract
Lipids must be correctly transported within the cell to the right place at the right time in order to be fully functional. Non-vesicular lipid transport is mediated by so-called lipid transfer proteins (LTPs), which contain a hydrophobic cavity that sequesters lipid molecules. Oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP)-related proteins (ORPs) are a family of LTPs known to harbor lipid ligands, such as cholesterol and phospholipids. ORPs act as a sensor or transporter of those lipid ligands at membrane contact sites (MCSs) where two different cellular membranes are closely apposed. In particular, a characteristic functional property of ORPs is their role as a lipid exchanger. ORPs mediate counter-directional transport of two different lipid ligands at MCSs. Several, but not all, ORPs transport their lipid ligand from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in exchange for phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P), the other ligand, on apposed membranes. This ORP-mediated lipid “countertransport” is driven by the concentration gradient of PI4P between membranes, which is generated by its kinases and phosphatases. In this review, we will discuss how ORP function is tightly coupled to metabolism of phosphoinositides such as PI4P. Recent progress on the role of ORP-mediated lipid transport/countertransport at multiple MCSs in cellular functions will be also discussed.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides are an important class of anionic, low abundance signaling lipids distributed throughout intracellular membranes. The plasma membrane contains three phosphoinositides: PI(4)P, PI(4,5)P2, and PI(3,4,5)P3. Of these, PI(4)P has remained the most mysterious, despite its characterization in this membrane more than a half-century ago. Fortunately, recent methodological innovations at the chemistry-biology interface have spurred a renaissance of interest in PI(4)P. Here, we describe these new toolsets and how they have revealed novel functions for the plasma membrane PI(4)P pool. We examine high-resolution structural characterization of the plasma membrane PI 4-kinase complex that produces PI(4)P, tools for modulating PI(4)P levels including isoform-selective PI 4-kinase inhibitors, and fluorescent probes for visualizing PI(4)P. Collectively, these chemical and biochemical approaches have revealed insights into how cells regulate synthesis of PI(4)P and its downstream metabolites as well as new roles for plasma membrane PI(4)P in non-vesicular lipid transport, membrane homeostasis and trafficking, and cell signaling pathways.

Abstract
Severe cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by infection with SARS-CoV-2, are characterized by a hyperinflammatory immune response that leads to numerous complications. Production of proinflammatory neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) has been suggested to be a key factor in inducing a hyperinflammatory signaling cascade, allegedly causing both pulmonary tissue damage and peripheral inflammation. Accordingly, therapeutic blockage of neutrophil activation and NETosis, the cell death pathway accompanying NET formation, could limit respiratory damage and death from severe COVID-19. Here, we demonstrate that synthetic glycopolymers that activate signaling of the neutrophil checkpoint receptor Siglec-9 suppress NETosis induced by agonists of viral toll-like receptors (TLRs) and plasma from patients with severe COVID-19. Thus, Siglec-9 agonism is a promising therapeutic strategy to curb neutrophilic hyperinflammation in COVID-19.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases are one of the major causes of death worldwide, characterized by neurite atrophy, neuron apoptosis, and synapse loss. No effective treatment has been indicated for such diseases so far, and the search for new drugs is being increased in the last years. Animal venoms' secretion/venom can be an alternative for the discovery of new molecules, which could be the prototype for a new treatment. Here, we present the biochemical characterization and activity of the extract from the box jellyfish Chiropsalmus quadrumanus (Cq) on neurites. The Cq methanolic extract was obtained and incubated to human SH-SY5Y neurons, and neurite parameters were evaluated. The extract was tested in other cell types to check its cytotoxicity and was submitted to biochemical analysis by mass spectrometry in order to check its composition. We could verify that the Cq extract increased neurite outgrowth length and branching junctions, amplifying the contact between SH-SY5Y neurons, without affecting cell body and viability. The extract action was selective for neurons, as it did not cause any effects on other cell types, such as tumor line, nontumor line, and red blood cells. Moreover, mass spectrometry analysis revealed that there are no proteins but several low molecular mass compounds and peptides. Three peptides, characterized as cryptides, and 14 low molecular mass compounds were found to be related to cytoskeleton reorganization, cell membrane expansion, and antioxidant/neuroprotective activity, which act together to increase neuritogenesis. After this evaluation, we conclude that the Cq extract is a promising tool for neuronal connection recovery, an essential condition for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Three unrelated patients with similar microdeletions of chromosome 14q32.11 with shared phenotypes including language and developmental delay, and four overlapping genes -CALM1, TTC7B, PSMC1, and RPS6KA5 have been presented. All four genes are expressed in the brain and have haploinsufficiency scores, which reflect low tolerance to loss of function variation. An insight on the genes in the overlapping region, which may influence the resulting phenotype has been provided. Given the three patients' similar phenotypes and lack of normal variation in this region, it was suggested that this microdeletion may be associated with developmental and language delay.

Plasma Membrane Phosphatidylinositol-4-Phosphate Is Not Necessary for Candida albicans Viability yet Is Key for Cell Wall Integrity and Systemic Infection. mBio 2021; 13:e0387321.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol phosphates are key phospholipids with a range of regulatory roles, including membrane trafficking and cell polarity. Phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate [PI(4)P] at the Golgi apparatus is required for the budding-to-filamentous-growth transition in the human-pathogenic fungus Candida albicans; however, the role of plasma membrane PI(4)P is unclear. We have investigated the importance of this phospholipid in C. albicans growth, stress response, and virulence by generating mutant strains with decreased levels of plasma membrane PI(4)P, via deletion of components of the PI-4-kinase complex, i.e., Efr3, Ypp1, and Stt4. The amounts of plasma membrane PI(4)P in the efr3Δ/Δ and ypp1Δ/Δ mutants were ∼60% and ∼40%, respectively, of that in the wild-type strain, whereas it was nearly undetectable in the stt4Δ/Δ mutant. All three mutants had reduced plas7ma membrane phosphatidylserine (PS). Although these mutants had normal yeast-phase growth, they were defective in filamentous growth, exhibited defects in cell wall integrity, and had an increased exposure of cell wall β(1,3)-glucan, yet they induced a range of hyphal-specific genes. In a mouse model of hematogenously disseminated candidiasis, fungal plasma membrane PI(4)P levels directly correlated with virulence; the efr3Δ/Δ mutant had wild-type virulence, the ypp1Δ/Δ mutant had attenuated virulence, and the stt4Δ/Δ mutant caused no lethality. In the mouse model of oropharyngeal candidiasis, only the ypp1Δ/Δ mutant had reduced virulence, indicating that plasma membrane PI(4)P is less important for proliferation in the oropharynx. Collectively, these results demonstrate that plasma membrane PI(4)P levels play a central role in filamentation, cell wall integrity, and virulence in C. albicans. IMPORTANCE While the PI-4-kinases Pik1 and Stt4 both produce PI(4)P, the former generates PI(4)P at the Golgi apparatus and the latter at the plasma membrane, and these two pools are functionally distinct. To address the importance of plasma membrane PI(4)P in Candida albicans, we generated deletion mutants of the three putative plasma membrane PI-4-kinase complex components and quantified the levels of plasma membrane PI(4)P in each of these strains. Our work reveals that this phosphatidylinositol phosphate is specifically critical for the yeast-to-hyphal transition, cell wall integrity, and virulence in a mouse systemic infection model. The significance of this work is in identifying a plasma membrane phospholipid that has an infection-specific role, which is attributed to the loss of plasma membrane PI(4)P resulting in β(1,3)-glucan unmasking.

Abstract
The yeast phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) decarboxylase Psd2 is proposed to engage in a membrane contact site (MCS) for PtdSer decarboxylation to phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn). This proposed MCS harbors Psd2, the Sec14-like phosphatidylinositol transfer protein (PITP) Sfh4, the Stt4 phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 4-OH kinase, the Scs2 tether, and an uncharacterized protein. We report that, of these components, only Sfh4 and Stt4 regulate Psd2 activity in vivo. They do so via distinct mechanisms. Sfh4 operates via a mechanism for which its PtdIns-transfer activity is dispensable but requires an Sfh4-Psd2 physical interaction. The other requires Stt4-mediated production of PtdIns-4-phosphate (PtdIns4P), where Stt4 (along with the Sac1 PtdIns4P phosphatase and endoplasmic reticulum–plasma membrane tethers) indirectly modulate Psd2 activity via a PtdIns4P homeostatic mechanism that influences PtdSer accessibility to Psd2. These results identify an example in which the biological function of a Sec14-like PITP is cleanly uncoupled from its canonical in vitro PtdIns-transfer activity and challenge popular functional assumptions regarding lipid-transfer protein involvements in MCS function.

Abstract
Hypomyelinating leukodystrophies constitute a subset of genetic white matter disorders characterized by a primary lack of myelin deposition. Most patients with severe hypomyelination present in infancy or early childhood and develop severe neurological deficits, but the clinical presentation can also be mild with onset of symptoms in adolescence or adulthood. MRI can be used to visualize the process of myelination in detail, and MRI pattern recognition can provide a clinical diagnosis in many patients. Next-generation sequencing provides a definitive diagnosis in 80-90% of patients. Genes associated with hypomyelination include those that encode structural myelin proteins but also many that encode proteins involved in RNA translation and some lysosomal proteins. The precise pathomechanisms remain to be elucidated. Improved understanding of the process of myelination, the metabolic axonal support functions of myelin and the proposed contribution of myelin to CNS plasticity provide possible explanations as to why almost all patients with hypomyelination experience slow clinical decline after a long phase of stability. In this Review, we provide an overview of the hypomyelinating leukodystrophies, the advances in our understanding of myelin biology and of the genes involved in these disorders, and the insights these advances have provided into their clinical presentations and evolution.

Abstract
Inherited cutis laxa, or inelastic, sagging skin is a genetic condition of premature and generalised connective tissue ageing, affecting various elastic components of the extracellular matrix. Several cutis laxa syndromes are inborn errors of metabolism and lead to severe neurological symptoms. In a patient with cutis laxa, a choreoathetoid movement disorder, dysmorphic features and intellectual disability we performed exome sequencing to elucidate the underlying genetic defect. We identified the amino acid substitution R275W in phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase type IIα, caused by a homozygous missense mutation in the PI4K2A gene. We used lipidomics, complexome profiling and functional studies to measure phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate synthesis in the patient and evaluated PI4K2A deficient mice to define a novel metabolic disorder. The R275W residue, located on the surface of the protein, is involved in forming electrostatic interactions with the membrane. The catalytic activity of PI4K2A in patient fibroblasts was severely reduced and lipid mass spectrometry showed that particular acyl-chain pools of PI4P and PI(4,5)P2 were decreased. Phosphoinositide lipids play a major role in intracellular signalling and trafficking and regulate the balance between proliferation and apoptosis. Phosphatidylinositol 4-kinases such as PI4K2A mediate the first step in the main metabolic pathway that generates PI4P, PI(4,5)P2 and PI(3,4,5)P3 . Although neurologic involvement is common, cutis laxa has not been reported previously in metabolic defects affecting signalling. Here we describe a patient with a complex neurological phenotype, premature ageing and a mutation in PI4K2A, illustrating the importance of this enzyme in the generation of inositol lipids with particular acylation characteristics.
