[PMID: 38705423 DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2024.148532] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2023] [Revised: 04/24/2024] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024]
Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4 phosphate 5-kinase (PIP5K) is crucial for the phosphatidylinositol (PI) signaling pathway. It plays a significant role in plant growth and development, as well as stress response. However, its effects on cotton are unknown. This study identified PIP5K genes from four cotton species and conducted bioinformatic analyses, with a particular emphasis on the functions of GhPIP5K9a in primary roots. The results showed that cotton PIP5Ks were classified into four subgroups. Analysis of gene structure and motif composition showed obvious conservation within each subgroup. Synteny analysis suggested that the PIP5K gene family experienced significant expansion due to both whole-genome duplication (WGD) and segmental duplication. Transcriptomic data analysis revealed that the majority of GhPIP5K genes had the either low or undetectable levels of expression. Moreover, GhPIP5K9a is highly expressed in the root and was located in plasmalemma. Suppression of GhPIP5K9a transcripts resulted in longer primary roots, longer primary root cells and increased auxin polar transport-related genes expression, and decreased abscisic acid (ABA) content, indicating that GhPIP5K9a negatively regulates cotton primary root growth. This study lays the foundation for further exploration of the role of the PIP5K genes in cotton.

Abstract
Spider mite infestation has a severe impact on tea growth and quality. In this study, we conducted a deep exploration of the functions and regulations of the CsPIP5K gene family using chromosomal localization and collinearity analysis. Additionally, we carefully examined the cis elements within these genes. To fully understand the metabolic response of CsPIP5K under spider mite infection, we integrated previously published metabolomic and transcriptomic data. Our analysis revealed that multiple CsPIP5K genes are associated with phospholipid metabolism, with CsPIP5K06 showing the strongest correlation. Therefore, we employed qPCR and subcellular localization techniques to determine the expression pattern of this gene and its functional location within the cell. Overall, this study not only comprehensively elucidated the characteristics, structure, and evolution of the CsPIP5K gene family but also identified several candidate CsPIP5K genes related to phospholipid biosynthesis and associated with spider mites based on previously published data. This research makes a significant contribution to enhancing the resistance of tea to spider mite and maintaining optimal tea quality.

Abstract
Polyphosphoinositides (PPIns) are signalling messengers representing less than five per cent of the total phospholipid concentration within the cell. Despite their low concentration, these lipids are critical regulators of various cellular processes, including cell cycle, differentiation, gene transcription, apoptosis and motility. PPIns are generated by the phosphorylation of the inositol head group of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns). Different pools of PPIns are found at distinct subcellular compartments, which are regulated by an array of kinases, phosphatases and phospholipases. Six of the seven PPIns species have been found in the nucleus, including the nuclear envelope, the nucleoplasm and the nucleolus. The identification and characterisation of PPIns interactor and effector proteins in the nucleus have led to increasing interest in the role of PPIns in nuclear signalling. However, the regulation and functions of PPIns in the nucleus are complex and are still being elucidated. This review summarises our current understanding of the localisation, biogenesis and physiological functions of the different PPIns species in the nucleus.

Abstract
Lolium multiflorum is widely planted in temperate and subtropical regions globally, and it has high economic value owing to its use as forage grass for a wide variety of livestock and poultry. However, drought seriously restricts its yield and quality. At present, owing to the lack of available genomic resources, many types of basic research cannot be conducted, which severely limits the in-depth functional analysis of genes in L. multiflorum. Therefore, we used single-molecule real-time (SMRT) and next-generation sequencing (NGS) to sequence the complex transcriptome of L. multiflorum under drought. We identified 41,141 DEGs in leaves, 35,559 DEGs in roots, respectively. Moreover, we identified 1243 alternative splicing events under drought. LmPIP5K9 produced two different transcripts with opposite expression patterns, possibly through the phospholipid signaling pathway or the negatively regulated sugar-mediated root growth response to drought stress, respectively. Additionally, 13,079 transcription factors in 90 families were obtained. An in-depth analysis of R2R3-MYB gene family members was performed to preliminarily demonstrate their functions by utilizing subcellular localization and overexpression in yeast. Our data make a significant contribution to the genetics of L. multiflorum, offering a current understanding of plant adaptation to drought stress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phosphatidylinositol 4 phosphate 5-kinase (PIP5K) plays a key enzyme role in the inositol signal transduction system and has essential functions in plants in terms of growth, development, and stress responses. However, systematic studies on the wheat PIP5K gene family and its relation to male sterility have not been reported yet. RESULTS Sixty-four TaPIP5K genes were identified. The TaPIP5K genes contained similar gene structures and conserved motifs on the same branches of the evolutionary tree, and their cis-regulatory elements were related to MeJA-responsiveness. Furthermore, 49 pairs of collinearity genes were identified and mainly subjected to purification selection during evolution. Synteny analyses showed that some PIP5K genes in wheat and the other four species shared a relatively conserved evolutionary process. The expression levels of many conservative TaPIP5K genes in HT-ms anthers were significantly lower than that in Normal anthers. In addition, HT-ms anthers have no dehiscence, and levels of OPDA and JA-ILE are significantly lower at the trinucleus stage. CONCLUSION These results indicate that the PIP5K gene family may be associated with male sterility induced by HT, and the reduction of JA-ILE levels and the abnormal levels of these genes expression may be one reason for the HT-ms anthers having no dehiscence, ultimately leading to the abortion of the anthers.

Abstract
Blood platelets, produced by the fragmentation of megakaryocytes, play a key role in hemostasis and thrombosis. Being implicated in atherothrombosis and other thromboembolic disorders, they represent a major therapeutic target for antithrombotic drug development. Several recent studies have highlighted an important role for the lipid phosphatidylinositol 3 monophosphate (PtdIns3P) in megakaryocytes and platelets. PtdIns3P, present in small amounts in mammalian cells, is involved in the control of endocytic trafficking and autophagy. Its metabolism is finely regulated by specific kinases and phosphatases. Class II (α, β and γ) and III (Vps34) phosphoinositide-3-kinases (PI3Ks), INPP4 and Fig4 are involved in the production of PtdIns3P whereas PIKFyve, myotubularins (MTMs) and type II PIPK metabolize PtdIns3P. By regulating the turnover of different pools of PtdIns3P, class II (PI3KC2α) and class III (Vps34) PI3Ks have been recently involved in the regulation of platelet production and functions. These pools of PtdIns3P appear to modulate membrane organization and intracellular trafficking. Moreover, PIKFyve and INPP4 have been recently implicated in arterial thrombosis. In this review, we will discuss the role of PtdIns3P metabolizing enzymes in platelet production and function. Potential new anti-thrombotic therapeutic perspectives based on inhibitors targeting specifically PtdIns3P metabolizing enzymes will also be commented.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) metabolism is indispensable in eukaryotes. Phosphoinositides (PIs) are phosphorylated derivatives of PtdIns and consist of seven species generated by reversible phosphorylation of the inositol moieties at the positions 3, 4, and 5. Each of the seven PIs has a unique subcellular and membrane domain distribution. In the enteric protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica, it has been previously shown that the PIs phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns3P), PtdIns(4,5)P2, and PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 are localized to phagosomes/phagocytic cups, plasma membrane, and phagocytic cups, respectively. The localization of these PIs in E. histolytica is similar to that in mammalian cells, suggesting that PIs have orthologous functions in E. histolytica. In contrast, the conservation of the enzymes that metabolize PIs in this organism has not been well-documented. In this review, we summarized the full repertoire of the PI kinases and PI phosphatases found in E. histolytica via a genome-wide survey of the current genomic information. E. histolytica appears to have 10 PI kinases and 23 PI phosphatases. It has a panel of evolutionarily conserved enzymes that generate all the seven PI species. However, class II PI 3-kinases, type II PI 4-kinases, type III PI 5-phosphatases, and PI 4P-specific phosphatases are not present. Additionally, regulatory subunits of class I PI 3-kinases and type III PI 4-kinases have not been identified. Instead, homologs of class I PI 3-kinases and PTEN, a PI 3-phosphatase, exist as multiple isoforms, which likely reflects that elaborate signaling cascades mediated by PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 are present in this organism. There are several enzymes that have the nuclear localization signal: one phosphatidylinositol phosphate (PIP) kinase, two PI 3-phosphatases, and one PI 5-phosphatase; this suggests that PI metabolism also has conserved roles related to nuclear functions in E. histolytica, as it does in model organisms.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide signaling pathway orchestrates primordial molecular and cellular functions in both healthy and pathologic conditions. Phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate 4-kinase type 2 lipid kinase (PIP4K2) family, which compromises PIP4K2A, PIP4K2B and PIP4K2C, has drawn the attention in human cancers. Particularly in hematological malignancies, PIP4K2A was already described as an essential protein for a malignant phenotype, although the clinical and biological impact of PIP4K2B and PIP4K2C proteins have not being explored in the same extent. In the present study, we investigated the impact on clinical outcomes and gene network of PIP4K2A, PIP4K2B and PIP4K2C mRNA transcripts in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients included in The Cancer Genome Atlas (2013) study. Our results indicate that PIP4K2A and PIP4K2C, but not PIP4K2B, mRNA levels were significantly reduced in AML patients assigned to the favorable risk group (p < 0.05) and low levels of PIP4K2A and PIP4K2C positively affect clinical outcomes of AML patients (p < 0.05). Gene set enrichment analyses indicate that the expression of PIP4K2 genes is associated with biological process such as signal transduction, metabolism of RNA and genomic instability related-gene sets. In summary, our study provides additional evidence of the involvement of members of the PIP4K2 family, in particular PIP4K2A and PIP4K2C, in AML.

Abstract
Germline variants of PIP4K2A impact susceptibility of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) through inducing its overexpression. Although limited reports suggested the oncogenic role of PIP4K2A in cancers, regulatory network and prognostic effect of this gene remains poorly understood in tumorigenesis and leukemogenesis. In this study, we conducted genome-wide gene expression association analyses in pediatric B-ALL cohorts to discover expression associated genes and pathways, which is followed by the bioinformatics analyses to investigate the prognostic role of PIP4K2A and its related genes in multiple cancer types. 214 candidates were identified to be significantly associated with PIP4K2A expression in ALL patients, with known cancer-related genes rankings the top (e.g., RAC2, RBL2, and TFDP1). These candidates do not only tend to be clustered in the same types of leukemia, but can also separate the patients into novel molecular subtypes. PIP4K2A is noticed to be frequently overexpressed in multiple other types of leukemia and solid cancers from cancer cohorts including TCGA, and associated with its candidates in subtype-specific and cancer-specific manners. Interestingly, the association status varied in tumors compared to their matched normal tissues. Moreover, PIP4K2A and its related candidates exhibit stage-independent prognostic effects in multiple cancers, mostly with its lower expression significantly associated with longer overall survival (p < 0.05). Our findings reveal the transcriptional regulatory network of PIP4K2A in leukemia, and suggest its potentially important role on molecular subtypes of multiple cancers and subsequent treatment outcomes.

[PMID: 27149463 PMCID: PMC4863780 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000003542] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2016] [Revised: 03/24/2016] [Accepted: 04/01/2016] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is one of the most common pediatric cancers in the world. Several single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) locating at PIP4K2A locus were identified to be associated with ALL susceptibility through genome-wide association studies, however, followed by inconsistent reports in replication studies. In this study, we conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the association status of the top independent SNPs (rs7088318 and rs4748793) with ALL susceptibility by combining the data from 6 independent studies, totally including 3508 cases and 12,446 controls with multiethnic populations. Consistent association with ALL risk of both SNPs were observed (odds ratio [OR] 1.28 and 1.29, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.20-1.36 and 1.19-1.40, respectively). Considering clinic characteristics, rs7088318 is more related to patients with African ancestry (OR 1.48, 95% CI 1.21-1.80) and hyperdiploid subtype (OR 1.42, 95% CI 1.25-1.61). Moreover, several SNPs (eg, rs45469096) were identified to be in high linage disequilibrium with rs7088318, and affected PIP4K2A expression in lymphocytes probably by altering the binding affinity of some transcriptional factors. In conclusion, we systematically investigated the relationship between SNPs at PIP4K2A locus and ALL susceptibility, and further found potential causal variant candidates, thus better elucidating the role of PIP4K2A gene in leukemogenesis.

Abstract
PIP4K2A is a lipid kinase that phosphorylates PtdIns5P, generating PtdIns4,5P2. Recently, PIP4K2A was identified as a potential target in acute myeloid leukemia cells. The objective of the present study was to investigate the PIP4K2A expression in hematological malignancies and verify the effects of PIP4K2A silencing on proliferation and survival of leukemia cell lines. PIP4K2A was found to be a cytoplasmic and nuclear protein with reduced levels in leukemia cell lines compared to normal leukocytes. PIP4K2A mRNA levels were significantly reduced in bone marrow cells from acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL) patients compared with healthy donors and in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with ≥5% compared with <5% bone marrow blasts. Low PIP4K2A expression (lowest tertile versus 2 higher tertiles) negatively impacted overall survival of MDS patients by univariate analysis. PIP4K2A silencing did not modulate cell proliferation, clonogenicity and apoptosis of HEL and Namalwa leukemia cells. In summary, we characterized the expression of PIP4K2A in a cohort of patients with hematological malignancies and we found that PIP4K2A mRNA expression is downregulated in RAEB-1/RAEB-2 MDS and ALL cells, and PIP4K2A silencing does not modulate cell survival in HEL and Namalwa leukemia cells.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate (PtdIns5P)-4-kinases (PIP4Ks) are stress-regulated lipid kinases that phosphorylate PtdIns5P to generate PtdIns(4,5)P₂. There are three isoforms of PIP4Ks: PIP4K2A, 2B and 2C, which localise to different subcellular compartments with the PIP4K2B isoform being localised predominantly in the nucleus. Suppression of PIP4K expression selectively prevents tumour cell growth in vitro and prevents tumour development in mice that have lost the tumour suppressor p53. p53 is lost or mutated in over 70% of all human tumours. These studies suggest that inhibition of PIP4K signalling constitutes a novel anti-cancer therapeutic target. In this review we will discuss the role of PIP4K in tumour suppression and speculate on how PIP4K modulates nuclear phosphoinositides (PPIns) and how this might impact on nuclear functions to regulate cell growth. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Phosphoinositides.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate (PtdIns5P) 4-kinase β (PIP4K2B) directly regulates the levels of two important phosphoinositide second messengers, PtdIns5P and phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2]. PIP4K2B has been linked to the regulation of gene transcription, to TP53 and AKT activation, and to the regulation of cellular reactive oxygen accumulation. However, its role in human tumor development and on patient survival is not known. Here, we have interrogated the expression of PIP4K2B in a cohort (489) of patients with breast tumor using immunohistochemical staining and by a meta-analysis of gene expression profiles from 2,999 breast tumors, both with associated clinical outcome data. Low PIP4K2B expression was associated with increased tumor size, high Nottingham histological grade, Ki67 expression, and distant metastasis, whereas high PIP4K2B expression strongly associated with ERBB2 expression. Kaplan-Meier curves showed that both high and low PIP4K2B expression correlated with poorer patient survival compared with intermediate expression. In normal (MCF10A) and tumor (MCF7) breast epithelial cell lines, mimicking low PIP4K2B expression, using short hairpin RNA interference-mediated knockdown, led to a decrease in the transcription and expression of the tumor suppressor protein E-cadherin (CDH1). In MCF10A cells, knockdown of PIP4K2B enhanced TGF-β-induced epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), a process required during the development of metastasis. Analysis of gene expression datasets confirmed the association between low PIP4K2B and low CDH1expression. Decreased CDH1 expression and enhancement of TGF-β-induced EMT by reduced PIP4K2B expression might, in part, explain the association between low PIP4K2B expression and poor patient survival.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides (PIs) make up only a small fraction of cellular phospholipids, yet they control almost all aspects of a cell's life and death. These lipids gained tremendous research interest as plasma membrane signaling molecules when discovered in the 1970s and 1980s. Research in the last 15 years has added a wide range of biological processes regulated by PIs, turning these lipids into one of the most universal signaling entities in eukaryotic cells. PIs control organelle biology by regulating vesicular trafficking, but they also modulate lipid distribution and metabolism via their close relationship with lipid transfer proteins. PIs regulate ion channels, pumps, and transporters and control both endocytic and exocytic processes. The nuclear phosphoinositides have grown from being an epiphenomenon to a research area of its own. As expected from such pleiotropic regulators, derangements of phosphoinositide metabolism are responsible for a number of human diseases ranging from rare genetic disorders to the most common ones such as cancer, obesity, and diabetes. Moreover, it is increasingly evident that a number of infectious agents hijack the PI regulatory systems of host cells for their intracellular movements, replication, and assembly. As a result, PI converting enzymes began to be noticed by pharmaceutical companies as potential therapeutic targets. This review is an attempt to give an overview of this enormous research field focusing on major developments in diverse areas of basic science linked to cellular physiology and disease.

Abstract
Oxidative signaling and oxidative stress contribute to aging, cancer, and diseases resulting from neurodegeneration. Pin1 is a proline isomerase that recognizes phosphorylated substrates and regulates the localization and conformation of its targets. Pin1(-/-) mice show phenotypes associated with premature aging, yet mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) from these mice are resistant to hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2))-induced cell death. We found that the abundance of phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate (PtdIns5P) was increased in response to H(2)O(2), an effect that was enhanced in Pin1(-/-) MEFs. Reduction of H(2)O(2)-induced PtdIns5P compromised cell viability in response to oxidative stress, suggesting that PtdIns5P contributed to the enhanced cell viability of Pin1(-/-) MEFs exposed to oxidative stress. The increased PtdIns5P in the Pin1(-/-) MEFs stimulated the expression of genes involved in defense against oxidative stress and reduced the accumulation of reactive oxygen species. Pin1 and PtdIns5P 4-kinases (PIP4Ks), enzymes that phosphorylate and thereby reduce the amount of PtdIns5P, interacted in a manner dependent on the phosphorylation of PIP4K. Although reintroduction of Pin1 into the Pin1(-/-) MEFs reduced the amount of PtdIns5P produced in response to H(2)O(2), in vitro assays indicated that the isomerase activity of Pin1 inhibited PIP4K activity. Whether this isomerise-mediated inhibition of PIP4K occurs in cells remains an open question, but the data suggest that the regulation of PIP4K by Pin1 may be complex.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides (PIs) are minor components of cellular membranes that play critical regulatory roles in several intracellular functions. This chapter describes the main enzymes regulating the turnover of each of the seven PIs in mammalian cells and introduces to some of their intracellular functions and to some evidences of their involvement in human diseases. Due to the complex interrelation between the distinct PIs and the plethora of functions that they can regulate inside a cell, this chapter is not meant to be a comprehensive coverage of all aspects of PI signalling but rather an introduction to this complex signalling field. For more details of their regulation/functions and extensive description of their intracellular roles, more detailed reviews are suggested on each single topic.

Abstract
Flooding injury is a major problem in soybean cultivation. A proteomics approach was used to clarify the occurrence of changes in protein expression level and phosphorylation in soybeans under flooding stress. Two-day-old seedlings were flooded for 1 day, proteins were extracted from root tips of the seedlings and digested with trypsin, and their expression levels and phosphorylation states were compared to those of untreated controls using mass spectrometry-based proteomics techniques. Phosphoproteins were enriched using a phosphoprotein purification column prior to digestion and mass spectrometry. The expression of proteins involved in energy production increased as a result of flooding, while expression of proteins involved in protein folding and cell structure maintenance decreased. Flooding induced changes of phosphorylation status of proteins involved in energy generation, protein synthesis and cell structure maintenance. The response to flooding stress may be regulated by both modulation of protein expression and phosphorylation state. Energy-demanding and production-related metabolic pathways may be particularly subject to regulation by changes in protein phosphorylation during flooding.

Abstract
The β-isoform of PIP4K (PtdIns5P-4-kinase) regulates the levels of nuclear PtdIns5P, which in turn modulates the acetylation of the tumour suppressor p53. The crystal structure of PIP4Kβ demonstrated that it can form a homodimer with the two subunits arranged in opposite orientations. Using MS, isoform-specific antibodies against PIP4Ks, RNAi (RNA interference) suppression and overexpression studies, we show that PIP4Kβ interacts in vitro and in vivo with the PIP4Kα isoform. As the two isoforms phosphorylate the same substrate to generate the same product, the interaction could be considered to be functionally redundant. However, contrary to expectation, we find that PIP4Kβ has 2000-fold less activity towards PtdIns5P compared with PIP4Kα, and that the majority of PIP4K activity associated with PIP4Kβ comes from its interaction with PIP4Kα. Furthermore, PIP4Kβ can modulate the nuclear localization of PIP4Kα, and PIP4Kα has a role in regulating PIP4Kβ functions. The results of the present study suggest a rationale for the functional interaction between PIP4Kα and PIP4Kβ and provide insight into how the relative levels of the two enzymes may be important in their physiological and pathological roles.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides are lipids that are present in the cytoplasmic leaflet of a cell's plasma and internal membranes and play pivotal roles in the regulation of a wide variety of cellular processes. Phosphoinositides are molecularly diverse due to variable phosphorylation of the hydroxyl groups of their inositol rings. The rapid and reversible configuration of the seven known phosphoinositide species is controlled by a battery of phosphoinositide kinases and phosphoinositide phosphatases, which are thus critical for phosphoinositide isomer-specific localization and functions. Significantly, a given phosphoinositide generated by different isozymes of these phosphoinositide kinases and phosphatases can have different biological effects. In mammals, close to 50 genes encode the phosphoinositide kinases and phosphoinositide phosphatases that regulate phosphoinositide metabolism and thus allow cells to respond rapidly and effectively to ever-changing environmental cues. Understanding the distinct and overlapping functions of these phosphoinositide-metabolizing enzymes is important for our knowledge of both normal human physiology and the growing list of human diseases whose etiologies involve these proteins. This review summarizes the structural and biological properties of all the known mammalian phosphoinositide kinases and phosphoinositide phosphatases, as well as their associations with human disorders.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides are minor phospholipid constituents of virtually every biological membrane yet they play fundamental roles in controlling membrane-bound signalling events. Phosphoinositides are produced from phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) by phosphorylation of one or more of three positions (3, 4 and 5) of the inositol headgroup located at the membrane cytoplasmic interface by distinct families of inositol lipid kinases. Intriguingly, many of the kinase reactions are catalysed by more than one form of the kinases even in simple organisms and these enzymes often assume non-redundant functions. A similar diversity is seen with inositide phosphatases, the enzymes that dephosphorylate phosphoinositides with a certain degree of specificity and the impairments of which are often linked to human diseases. This degree of multiplicity at the enzyme level together with the universal roles of these lipids in cell regulation assumes that inositol lipids are spatially and functionally restricted in specific membrane compartments. Studying the compartmentalized roles of these lipids at the cellular level represents a major methodological challenge. Over the last 10 years significant progress has been made in creating reagents that can monitor inositol lipid changes in live cells with fluorescence or confocal microscopy. New methods are also being developed to manipulate these lipids in specific membrane compartments in a regulated fashion. This article recalls some historical aspects of inositide research and describes the new methodological advances highlighting their great potential as well as the problems one can encounter with their use.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol monophosphate 5-kinase (PIP5K) plays an essential role in coordinating plant growth, especially in response to environmental factors. To explore the physiological function of PIP5K, we characterized Arabidopsis thaliana PIP5K9, which is constitutively expressed. We found that a T-DNA insertion mutant, pip5k9-d, which showed enhanced PIP5K9 transcript levels, had shortened primary roots owing to reduced cell elongation. Transgenic plants overexpressing PIP5K9 displayed a similar root phenotype. Yeast two-hybrid assays identified a cytosolic invertase, CINV1, that interacted with PIP5K9, and the physiological relevance of this interaction was confirmed by coimmunoprecipitation studies using plant extracts. CINV1-deficient plants, cinv1, had reduced activities of both neutral and acid invertases as well as shortened roots. Invertase activities in pip5k9-d seedlings were also reduced, suggesting a negative regulation of CINV1 by PIP5K9. In vitro studies showed that PIP5K9 interaction indeed repressed CINV1 activities. Genome-wide expression studies revealed that genes involved in sugar metabolism and multiple developmental processes were altered in pip5k9-d and cinv1, and the altered sugar metabolism in these mutants was confirmed by metabolite profiling. Together, our results indicate that PIP5K9 interacts with CINV1 to negatively regulate sugar-mediated root cell elongation.

Abstract
Inhibitor of growth protein-2 (ING2) is a nuclear adaptor protein that can regulate p53 and histone acetylation in response to cellular stress and contains a PHD (plant homeodomain) finger that can interact with phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate (PtdIns5P). However, whether or how nuclear PtdIns5P levels are regulated in response to cellular stress or whether ING2 can sense these changes has not been demonstrated. We show that UV irradiation increases nuclear PtdIns5P levels via inhibition of the activity of the beta isoform of PtdIns5P 4-kinase (PIP4Kbeta), an enzyme that can phosphorylate and remove PtdIns5P. Inhibition of PIP4Kbeta activity occurs through the direct phosphorylation of PIP4Kbeta at Ser326 by the p38 stress-activated protein kinase. Finally, we show that changes in nuclear PtdIns5P are translated into changes in the association of ING2 with chromatin. Our data define a pathway connecting cellular stressors with changes in nuclear PtdIns5P levels and the regulation of PHD motif-containing proteins.

Abstract
The type II PIP kinases phosphorylate the poorly understood inositol lipid PtdIns5P, producing the multi-functional lipid product PtdIns(4,5)P(2). To investigate the regulation of these enzymes by phosphorylation, we partially purified a protein kinase from pig platelets that phosphorylated type IIalpha PIP kinase on an activation loop threonine residue, T376. Pharmacological studies suggested this protein kinase was protein kinase D (PKD), and in vitro experiments confirmed this identification. A phospho-specific antibody was developed and used to demonstrate phosphorylation of T376 in living cells, and its enhancement under conditions in which PKD was activated. Although we were unable to determine the effects of phosphorylation on PIP kinase activity directly, mutation of T376 to aspartate significantly inhibited enzyme activity. We conclude that the type II PIP kinases are physiological targets for PKD phosphorylation, and that this modification is likely to regulate inositol lipid turnover by inhibition of these lipid kinases.

Abstract
To produce blood platelets, megakaryocytes elaborate proplatelets, accompanied by expansion of membrane surface area and dramatic cytoskeletal rearrangements. The invaginated demarcation membrane system (DMS), a hallmark of mature cells, has been proposed as the source of proplatelet membranes. By direct visualization of labeled DMS, we demonstrate that this is indeed the case. Late in megakaryocyte ontogeny, the DMS gets loaded with PI-4,5-P(2), a phospholipid that is confined to plasma membranes in other cells. Appearance of PI-4,5-P(2) in the DMS occurs in proximity to PI-5-P-4-kinase alpha (PIP4Kalpha), and short hairpin (sh) RNA-mediated loss of PIP4Kalpha impairs both DMS development and expansion of megakaryocyte size. Thus, PI-4,5-P(2) is a marker and possibly essential component of internal membranes. PI-4,5-P(2) is known to promote actin polymerization by activating Rho-like GTPases and Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WASp) family proteins. Indeed, PI-4,5-P(2) in the megakaryocyte DMS associates with filamentous actin. Expression of a dominant-negative N-WASp fragment or pharmacologic inhibition of actin polymerization causes similar arrests in proplatelet formation, acting at a step beyond expansion of the DMS and cell mass. These observations collectively suggest a signaling pathway wherein PI-4,5-P(2) might facilitate DMS development and local assembly of actin fibers in preparation for platelet biogenesis.

Abstract
Proteins that make, consume, and bind to phosphoinositides are important for constitutive membrane traffic. Different phosphoinositides are concentrated in different parts of the central vacuolar pathway, with phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate predominate on Golgi, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate predominate at the plasma membrane, phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate the major phosphoinositide on early endosomes, and phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate found on late endocytic organelles. This spatial segregation may be the mechanism by which the direction of membrane traffic is controlled. Phosphoinositides increase the affinity of membranes for peripheral membrane proteins that function for sorting protein cargo or for the docking and fusion of transport vesicles. This implies that constitutive membrane traffic may be regulated by the mechanisms that control the activity of the enzymes that produce and consume phosphoinositides. Although the lipid kinases and phosphatases that function in constitutive membrane traffic are beginning to be identified, their regulation is poorly understood.

Abstract
Phosphorylated derivatives of the lipid phosphatidylinositol are known to play critical roles in insulin response. Phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate 4-kinases convert phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate to phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bis-phosphate. To understand the physiological role of these kinases, we generated mice that do not express phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate 4-kinase beta. These mice are hypersensitive to insulin and have reduced body weights compared to wild-type littermates. While adult male mice lacking phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate 4-kinase beta have significantly less body fat than wild-type littermates, female mice lacking phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate 4-kinase beta have increased insulin sensitivity in the presence of normal adiposity. Furthermore, in vivo insulin-induced activation of the protein kinase Akt is enhanced in skeletal muscle and liver from mice lacking phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate 4-kinase beta. These results indicate that phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate 4-kinase beta plays a role in determining insulin sensitivity and adiposity in vivo and suggest that inhibitors of this enzyme may be useful in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
To better understand the molecular mechanisms of platelet granule secretion, we have evaluated the role of type II phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 5-phosphate 4-kinase in agonist-induced platelet alpha-granule secretion. SFLLRN-stimulated alpha-granule secretion from SL-O-permeabilized platelets was inhibited by either antibodies directed at type II PtdIns 5-phosphate 4-kinase or by a kinase-impaired point mutant of type IIbeta PtdIns 5-phosphate 4-kinase. In contrast, recombinant type IIbeta PtdIns 5-phosphate 4-kinase augmented SFLLRN-stimulated alpha-granule secretion from SL-O-permeabilized platelets. SFLLRN-stimulated alpha-granule secretion was inhibited by a protein kinase C-specific inhibitor peptide or bisindolylmaleimide I. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-stimulated alpha-granule secretion was inhibited by anti-type II PtdIns 5-phosphate 4-kinase antibodies or the kinase-impaired point mutant of type IIbeta PtdIns 5-phosphate 4-kinase and augmented by recombinant type IIbeta PtdIns 5-phosphate 4-kinase. Immunoblot analysis demonstrated that type II PtdIns 5-phosphate 4-kinase remained associated with SL-O-permeabilized platelets when incubated in the presence, but not the absence, of SFLLRN. This SFLLRN-induced translocation of type II PtdIns 5-phosphate 4-kinase was blocked by either the protein kinase C-specific inhibitor peptide or bisindolylmaleimide I. In addition to stimulating alpha-granule secretion, both SFLLRN and PMA enhanced the association of a fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled peptide derived from the PtdIns (4,5)P(2)-binding domain of gelsolin to permeabilized platelets. Agonist-induced recruitment of the PtdIns (4,5)P(2)-binding domain was inhibited by neomycin, bisindolylmaleimide I, and anti-type II PtdIns 5-phosphate 4-kinase antibody. These results suggest a mechanism whereby protein kinase C-mediated translocation of type II PtdIns 5-phosphate 4-kinase leads to the recruitment of PtdIns (4,5)P(2)-binding proteins.

Abstract
Polyphosphoinositides play an important role in membrane trafficking and cell signalling. In plants, two PtdInsP isomers have been described, PtdIns3P and PtdIns4P. Here we report the identification of a third, PtdIns5P. Evidence is based on the conversion of the endogenous PtdInsP pool into PtdIns(4,5)P(2) by a specific PtdIns5P 4-OH kinase, and on in vivo (32)P-labelling studies coupled to HPLC head-group analysis. In Chlamydomonas, 3-8% of the PtdInsP pool was PtdIns5P, 10-15% was PtdIns3P and the rest was PtdIns4P. In seedlings of Vicia faba and suspension-cultured tomato cells, the level of PtdIns5P was about 18%, indicating that PtdIns5P is a general plant lipid that represents a significant proportion of the PtdInsP pool. Activating phospholipase C (PLC) signalling in Chlamydomonas cells with mastoparan increased the turnover of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) at the cost of PtdIns4P, but did not affect the level of PtdIns5P. This indicates that PtdIns(4,5)P(2) is synthesized from PtdIns4P rather than from PtdIns5P during PLC signalling. However, when cells were subjected to hyperosmotic stress, PtdIns5P levels rapidly increased, suggesting a role in osmotic-stress signalling. The potential pathways of PtdIns5P formation are discussed.

Abstract
To understand the molecular basis of granule release from platelets, we examined the role of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P(2)) in alpha-granule secretion. Streptolysin O-permeabilized platelets synthesized PtdIns(4,5)P(2) when incubated in the presence of ATP. Incubation of streptolysin O-permeabilized platelets with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C reduced PtdIns(4,5)P(2) levels and resulted in a dose- and time-dependent inhibition of Ca(2+)-induced alpha-granule secretion. Exogenously added PtdIns(4,5)P(2) inhibited alpha-granule secretion, with 80% inhibition at 50 microm PtdIns(4,5)P(2). Nanomolar concentrations of wortmannin, 33.3 microm LY294002, and antibodies directed against PtdIns 3-kinase did not inhibit Ca(2+)-induced alpha-granule secretion, suggesting that PtdIns 3-kinase is not involved in alpha-granule secretion. However, micromolar concentrations of wortmannin inhibited both PtdIns(4,5)P(2) synthesis and alpha-granule secretion by approximately 50%. Antibodies directed against type II phosphatidylinositol-phosphate kinase (phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate 4-kinase) also inhibited both PtdIns(4,5)P(2) synthesis and Ca(2+)-induced alpha-granule secretion by approximately 50%. These antibodies inhibited alpha-granule secretion only when added prior to ATP exposure and not when added following ATP exposure, prior to Ca(2+)-mediated triggering. The inhibitory effects of micromolar wortmannin and anti-type II phosphatidylinositol-phosphate kinase antibodies were additive. These results show that PtdIns(4,5)P(2) mediates platelet alpha-granule secretion and that PtdIns(4,5)P(2) synthesis required for Ca(2+)-induced alpha-granule secretion involves the type II phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate 4-kinase-dependent pathway.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase (PIPK) catalyzes a final step in the synthesis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)), a lipid signaling molecule. Strict regulation of PIPK activity is thought to be essential in intact cells. Here we show that type I enzymes of PIPK (PIPKI) are phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), and phosphorylation of PIPKI suppresses its activity. Serine 214 was found to be a major phosphorylation site of PIPK type Ialpha (PIPKIalpha) that is catalyzed by PKA. In contrast, lysophosphatidic acid-induced protein kinase C activation increased PIPKIalpha activity. Activation of PIPKIalpha was induced by dephosphorylation, which was catalyzed by an okadaic acid-sensitive phosphatase, protein phosphatase 1 (PP1). In vitro dephosphorylation of PIPKIalpha with PP1 increased PIPK activity, indicating that PP1 plays a role in lysophosphatidic acid-induced dephosphorylation of PIPKIalpha. These results strongly suggest that activity of PIPKIalpha in NIH 3T3 cells is regulated by the reversible balance between PKA-dependent phosphorylation and PP1-dependent dephosphorylation.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate (PtdIns5P), a novel inositol lipid, has been shown to be the major substrate for the type II PtdInsP kinases (PIPkins) ¿Rameh et al. (1997) Nature 390, 192-196. A PtdInsP fraction was prepared from cell extracts by neomycin chromatography, using a protocol devised to eliminate the interaction of acidic solvents with plasticware, since this was found to inhibit the enzyme. The PtdIns5P in this fraction was measured by incubating with ¿gamma-(32)PATP and recombinant PIPkin IIalpha, and quantifying the radiolabelled PtdInsP(2) formed. This assay was used on platelets to show that during 10 min stimulation with thrombin, the mass level of PtdIns5P increases, implying the existence of an agonist-stimulated synthetic mechanism.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 4,5-bisphosphate is involved in many aspects of membrane traffic, but the regulation of its synthesis is only partially understood. Golgi membranes contain PI 4-kinase activity and a pool of phosphatidylinositol phosphate (PIP), which is further increased by ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (ARF1). COS7 cells were transfected with alpha and beta forms of PI 4-kinase, and only membranes from COS7 cells transfected with PI 4-kinase beta increased their content of PIP when incubated with ARF1. PtdIns(4, 5)P(2) content in Golgi membranes was nonexistent but could be increased to a small extent upon adding either cytosol or Type I or Type II PIP kinases. However, when ARF1 was present, PtdIns(4,5)P(2) levels increased dramatically when membranes were incubated in the presence of cytosol or Type I, but not Type II, PIP kinase. To examine whether ARF1 could directly activate Type I PIP 5-kinase, we used an in vitro assay consisting of phosphatidycholine-containing liposomes, ARF1, and PIP 5-kinase. ARF1 increased Type I PIP 5-kinase activity in a guanine nucleotide-dependent manner, identifying this enzyme as a direct effector for ARF1.

Abstract
Synthesis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2], a signaling phospholipid, is primarily carried out by phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase [PI(4)P5K], which has been reported to be regulated by RhoA and Rac1. Unexpectedly, we find that the GTPgammaS-dependent activator of PI(4)P5Kalpha is the small G protein ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) and that the activation strictly requires phosphatidic acid, the product of phospholipase D (PLD). In vivo, ARF6, but not ARF1 or ARF5, spatially coincides with PI(4)P5Kalpha. This colocalization occurs in ruffling membranes formed upon AIF4 and EGF stimulation and is blocked by dominant-negative ARF6. PLD2 similarly translocates to the ruffles, as does the PH domain of phospholipase Cdelta1, indicating locally elevated PI(4,5)P2. Thus, PI(4)P5Kalpha is a downstream effector of ARF6 and when ARF6 is activated by agonist stimulation, it triggers recruitment of a diverse but interactive set of signaling molecules into sites of active cytoskeletal and membrane rearrangement.

Abstract
Inositol lipid synthesis is regulated by several distinct families of enzymes [1]. Members of one of these families, the type II phosphatidylinositol phosphate kinases (PIP kinases), are 4-kinases and are thought to catalyse a minor route of synthesis of the multifunctional phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P(2)) from the inositide PI(5)P [2]. Here, we demonstrate the partial purification of a protein kinase that phosphorylates the type IIalpha PIP kinase at a single site unique to that isoform - Ser304. This kinase was identified as protein kinase CK2 (formerly casein kinase 2). Mutation of Ser304 to aspartate to mimic its phosphorylation had no effect on PIP kinase activity, but promoted both redistribution of the green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged enzyme in HeLa cells from the cytosol to the plasma membrane, and membrane ruffling. This effect was mimicked by mutation of Ser304 to alanine, although not to threonine, suggesting a mechanism involving the unmasking of a latent membrane localisation sequence in response to phosphorylation.

Abstract
We have found that a complex consisting of a type I PIPK and a DGK associates with the GTPase Rac1. Binding of the lipid kinase complex is through the C-terminus of Rac. Complex formation is augmented in the presence of specific phospholipids. The complex also associates with Rho GDI, through Rac. Based on the role of PtdIns-4,5-P2 in regulating proteins that influence actin structures we propose that the Rac-associated lipid kinase complex functions to generate locally high concentrations of PtdIns-4,5-P2 in a Rac-dependent manner. There are many possible roles PtdIns-4,5-P2 might play. A likely role is binding to barbed-end actin capping proteins. This would release the capping protein, providing free barbed ends for actin polymerization. Uncapping would occur at the membrane so that additional actin polymerization would result in membrane protrusions and lamellapodia, in a Brownian ratchet model. It is also possible that PtdIns-4,5-P2 has other roles, such as promoting the release of G actin from profilin or promoting the cross-linking of actin or its anchorage to the plasma membrane. Studies are currently underway to determine the role of this lipid kinase complex in Rac signaling and actin regulation in vivo.

Abstract
In eukaryotic cells, phosphatidylinositol can be phosphorylated on the inositol ring by a series of kinases to produce at least seven distinct phosphoinositides. These lipids have been implicated in a variety of cellular processes, including calcium regulation, actin rearrangement, vesicle trafficking, cell survival and mitogenesis. The phosphorylated lipids can act as precursors of second messengers or act directly to recruit specific signaling proteins to the membrane. A number of the kinases responsible for producing these lipids have been purified and their cDNA clones have been isolated. The most well characterized of these enzymes are the phosphoinositide 3-kinases. However, progress has also been made in the characterization of phosphatidylinositol 4-kinases and phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinases. In addition, new pathways involving phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate 4-kinases, phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate 5-kinases and phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate 4-kinases have recently been described. The various enzymes and pathways involved in the synthesis of cellular phosphoinositides will be discussed.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol ()P 5-kinase (PtdIns(4)P 5-kinase) catalyzes the last step in the synthesis of phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2). PtdIns(4,5)P2 is a precursor of diacylglycerol and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and is also involved in regulation of actin cytoskeleton remodeling and membrane traffic. To satisfy such varied demands in several aspects of cell physiology, synthesis of PtdIns(4,5)P2 must be stringently regulated. In this paper we describe extraction, purification, and characterization of PtdIns(4)P 5-kinase from the plasma membranes of Schizosaccharomyces pombe. We also provide evidence that PtdIns(4)P 5-kinase is phosphorylated and inactivated by Cki1, the S. pombe homolog of casein kinase I. Phosphorylation by Cki1 in vitro decreases the activity of PtdIns(4)P 5-kinase. In addition, and most importantly, overexpression of Cki1 in S. pombe results in a reduced synthesis of PtdIns(4,5)P2 and in a lower activity of PtdIns(4)P 5-kinase associated with the plasma membrane. These results suggest that PtdIns(4)P 5-kinase is a target of Cki1 in S. pombe and that Cki1 is involved in regulation of PtdIns(4, 5)P2 synthesis by phosphorylating and inactivating PtdIns(4)P 5-kinase.

Abstract
Signaling by phosphorylated species of phosphatidylinositol (PI) appears to regulate diverse responses in eukaryotic cells. A differential display screen for fat- and muscle-specific transcripts led to identification and cloning of the full-length cDNA of a novel mammalian 2,052-amino-acid protein (p235) from a mouse adipocyte cDNA library. Analysis of the deduced amino acid sequence revealed that p235 contains an N-terminal zinc-binding FYVE finger, a chaperonin-like region in the middle of the molecule, and a consensus for phosphoinositide 5-kinases at the C terminus. p235 mRNA appears as a 9-kb transcript, enriched in insulin-sensitive cells and tissues, likely transcribed from a single-copy gene in at least two close-in-size splice variants. Specific antibodies against mouse p235 were raised, and both the endogenously and heterologously expressed proteins were biochemically detected in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and transfected COS cells, respectively. Immunofluorescence microscopy analysis of endogenous p235 localization in 3T3-L1 adipocytes with affinity-purified anti-p235 antibodies documented a punctate peripheral pattern. In COS cells, the expressed p235 N-terminal but not the C-terminal region displayed a vesicular pattern similar to that in 3T3-L1 adipocytes that became diffuse upon Zn2+ chelation or FYVE finger truncation. A recombinant protein comprising the N-terminal but not the C-terminal region of the molecule was found to bind 2.2 mole equivalents of Zn2+. Determination of the lipid kinase activity in the p235 immunoprecipitates derived from 3T3-L1 adipocytes or from COS cells transiently expressing p235 revealed that p235 displayed unique preferences for PI substrate over already phosphorylated PI. In conclusion, the mouse p235 protein determines an important novel class of phosphoinositide kinases that seems to be targeted to specific intracellular loci by a Zn-dependent mechanism.

Abstract
The phosphatidylinositolphosphate kinases (PIPkins) are a unique family of enzymes that catalyse the production of phosphorylated inositol lipids. Recent advances have revealed that, due to their ability to utilise a number of different lipid substrates (at least in vitro), this family is potentially able to generate several distinct, physiologically important inositol lipids. Despite their importance, however, our understanding of the regulation of the PIPkins and of their physiological role in cellular signalling and regulation is still poor. Here we describe in turn the diverse physiological functions of the known substrates and major products of the PIPkins. We then examine what is known about the members of the PIPkin family themselves, and their characteristics and regulation.

Abstract
Diverse methodologies, ranging from activity measurements in various nuclear subfractions to electron microscopy, have been used to demonstrate and establish that many of the key lipids and enzymes responsible for the metabolism of inositol lipids are resident in nuclei. PtdIns(4)P, PtdIns(4,5)P2 and PtdOH are all present in nuclei, as well as the corresponding enzyme activities required to synthesise and metabolise these compounds. In addition other non-inositol containing phospholipids such as phosphatidylcholine constitute a significant percentage of the total nuclear phospholipid content. We feel that it is pertinent to include this lipid in our discussion as it provides an alternative source of 1, 2-diacylglycerol (DAG) in addition to the hydrolysis of PtdIns(4, 5)P2. We discuss at length data related to the sources and possible consequences of nuclear DAG production as this lipid appears to be increasingly central to a number of general physiological functions. Data relating to the existence of alternative pathways of inositol phospholipid synthesis, the role of 3-phosphorylated inositol lipids and lipid compartmentalisation and transport are reviewed. The field has also expanded to a point where we can now also begin to address what role these lipids play in cellular proliferation and differentiation and hopefully provide avenues for further research.

Abstract
A cascade of three protein kinases known as a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade is commonly found as part of the signaling pathways in eukaryotic cells. Almost two decades of genetic and biochemical experimentation plus the recently completed DNA sequence of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome have revealed just five functionally distinct MAPK cascades in this yeast. Sexual conjugation, cell growth, and adaptation to stress, for example, all require MAPK-mediated cellular responses. A primary function of these cascades appears to be the regulation of gene expression in response to extracellular signals or as part of specific developmental processes. In addition, the MAPK cascades often appear to regulate the cell cycle and vice versa. Despite the success of the gene hunter era in revealing these pathways, there are still many significant gaps in our knowledge of the molecular mechanisms for activation of these cascades and how the cascades regulate cell function. For example, comparison of different yeast signaling pathways reveals a surprising variety of different types of upstream signaling proteins that function to activate a MAPK cascade, yet how the upstream proteins actually activate the cascade remains unclear. We also know that the yeast MAPK pathways regulate each other and interact with other signaling pathways to produce a coordinated pattern of gene expression, but the molecular mechanisms of this cross talk are poorly understood. This review is therefore an attempt to present the current knowledge of MAPK pathways in yeast and some directions for future research in this area.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide signal transduction pathways in nuclei use enzymes that are indistinguishable from their cytosolic analogues. We demonstrate that distinct phosphatidylinositol phosphate kinases (PIPKs), the type I and type II isoforms, are concentrated in nuclei of mammalian cells. The cytosolic and nuclear PIPKs display comparable activities toward the substrates phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate. Indirect immunofluorescence revealed that these kinases were associated with distinct subnuclear domains, identified as "nuclear speckles," which also contained pre-mRNA processing factors. A pool of nuclear phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate (PIP2), the product of these kinases, was also detected at these same sites by monoclonal antibody staining. The localization of PIPKs and PIP2 to speckles is dynamic in that both PIPKs and PIP2 reorganize along with other speckle components upon inhibition of mRNA transcription. Because PIPKs have roles in the production of most phosphatidylinositol second messengers, these findings demonstrate that phosphatidylinositol signaling pathways are localized at nuclear speckles. Surprisingly, the PIPKs and PIP2 are not associated with invaginations of the nuclear envelope or any nuclear membrane structure. The putative absence of membranes at these sites suggests novel mechanisms for the generation of phosphoinositides within these structures.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol, a component of eukaryotic cell membranes, is unique among phospholipids in that its head group can be phosphorylated at multiple free hydroxyls. Several phosphorylated derivatives of phosphatidylinositol, collectively termed phosphoinositides, have been identified in eukaryotic cells from yeast to mammals. Phosphoinositides are involved in the regulation of diverse cellular processes, including proliferation, survival, cytoskeletal organization, vesicle trafficking, glucose transport, and platelet function. The enzymes that phosphorylate phosphatidylinositol and its derivatives are termed phosphoinositide kinases. Recent advances have challenged previous hypotheses about the substrate selectivity of different phosphoinositide kinase families. Here we re-examine the pathways of phosphoinositide synthesis and the enzymes involved.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2), an important element in eukaryotic signal transduction, is synthesized either by phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase (PtdIns(4)P 5K) from phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns(4)P) or by phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate 4-kinase (PtdIns(5)P 4K) from phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate (PtdIns(5)P). Two Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes, MSS4 and FAB1, are homologous to mammalian PtdIns(4)P 5Ks and PtdIns(5)P 4Ks. We show here that MSS4 is a functional homolog of mammalian PtdIns(4)P 5K but not of PtdIns(5)P 4K in vivo. We constructed a hemagglutinin epitope-tagged form of Mss4p and found that Mss4p has PtdIns(4)P 5K activity. Immunofluorescent and fractionation studies of the epitope-tagged Mss4p suggest that Mss4p is localized on the plasma membrane, whereas Fab1p is reportedly localized on the vacuolar membrane. A temperature-sensitive mss4-1 mutant was isolated, and its phenotypes at restrictive temperatures were found to include increased cell size, round shape, random distribution of actin patches, and delocalized staining of cell wall chitin. Thus, biochemical and genetic analyses on Mss4p indicated that yeast PtdIns(4)P 5K localized on the plasma membrane is required for actin organization.
