Abstract
Root hairs elongate by tip growth and simultaneously harden the shank by constructing the inner secondary cell wall layer. While much is known about the process of tip growth1, almost nothing is known about the mechanism by which root hairs harden the shank. Here we show that phosphatidylinositol-3,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(3,5)P2), the enzymatic product of FORMATION OF APLOID AND BINUCLEATE CELLS 1 (FAB1), is involved in the hardening of the shank in root hairs in Arabidopsis. FAB1 and PtdIns(3,5)P2 localize to the plasma membrane along the shank of growing root hairs. By contrast, phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase 3 (PIP5K3) and PtdIns(4,5)P2 localize to the apex of the root hair where they are required for tip growth. Reduction of FAB1 function results in the formation of wavy root hairs while those of the wild type are straight. The localization of FAB1 in the plasma membrane of the root hair shank requires the activity of Rho-related GTPases from plants 10 (ROP10) and localization of ROP10 requires FAB1 activity. Computational modelling of root hair morphogenesis successfully reproduces the wavy root hair phenotype. Taken together, these data demonstrate that root hair shank hardening requires PtdIns(3,5)P2/ROP10 signalling.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides (PPIn) are lipids involved in the vesicular transport of proteins between the different intracellular compartments. They act by recruiting and/or activating effector proteins and are thus involved in crucial cellular functions including vesicle budding, fusion and dynamics of membranes and regulation of the cytoskeleton. Although they are present in low concentrations in membranes, their activity is essential for cell survival and needs to be tightly controlled. Therefore, phosphatases and kinases specific of the various cellular membranes can phosphorylate/dephosphorylate their inositol ring on the positions D3, D4 and/or D5. The differential phosphorylation determines the intracellular localisation and the activity of the PPIn. Indeed, non-phosphorylated phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) is the basic component of the PPIn and can be found in all eukaryotic cells at the cytoplasmic face of the ER, the Golgi, mitochondria and microsomes. It can get phosphorylated on position D4 to obtain PtdIns4P, a PPIn enriched in the Golgi compartment and involved in the maintenance of this organelle as well as anterograde and retrograde transport to and from the Golgi. PtdIns phosphorylation on position D3 results in PtdIns3P that is required for endosomal transport and multivesicular body (MVB) formation and sorting. These monophosphorylated PtdIns can be further phosphorylated to produce bisphophorylated PtdIns. Thus, PtdIns(4,5)P2, mainly produced by PtdIns4P phosphorylation, is enriched in the plasma membrane and involved in the regulation of actin cytoskeleton and endocytosis. PtdIns(3,5)P2, mainly produced by PtdIns3P phosphorylation, is enriched in late endosomes, MVBs and the lysosome/vacuole and plays a role in endosome to vacuole transport. PtdIns(3,4)P2 is absent in yeast, cells and mainly produced by PtdIns4P phosphorylation in human cells; PtdIns(3,4)P2 is localised in the plasma membrane and plays an important role as a second messenger by recruiting specific protein kinases (Akt and PDK1). Finally the triple phosphorylated PPIn, PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 also absent in yeast, is produced by the phosphorylation of PtdIns(3,4)P2 and localized at the plasma membrane of human cells where it binds proteins via their PH domain. Interaction partners include members of the Arf (ADP-ribosylation factors) family, PDK1 (Phosphoinositide Dependent Kinase 1) and Akt. Therefore this last PPIn is essential for the control of cell proliferation and its deregulation leads to the development of numerous cancers. In conclusion, the regulation of PPIn phosphorylation/dephosphorylation is complex and needs to be very precisely regulated. Indeed phosphatases and kinases allow the maintenance of the equilibrium between the different forms. PPIn play a crucial role in numerous cellular functions and a loss in their synthesis or regulation results in severe genetic diseases.

Abstract
The phosphoinositide phospholipid PtdIns5P has previously been implicated in insulin-stimulated translocation of the glucose transporter GLUT4 into the plasma membrane of adipocytes, but its potential role in glucose transport in muscle has not been explored. The involvement of PtdIns5P in insulin-stimulated glucose uptake was therefore investigated in myotubes of the skeletal muscle cell line L6. Stimulation with insulin produced a transient increase in PtdIns5P, which was abolished by the over-expression of the highly active PtdIns5P 4-kinase PIP4Kα. PIP4Kα over-expression also abolished both the enhanced glucose uptake and the robust peak of PtdIns(3,4,5)P (3) production stimulated by insulin in myotubes. Delivery of exogenous PtdIns5P into unstimulated myotubes increased Akt phosphorylation, promoted GLUT4 relocalisation from internal membrane to plasma membrane fractions and its association with plasma membrane lawns and also stimulated glucose uptake in a tyrosine kinase and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase)-dependent fashion. Our results are consistent with a role for insulin-stimulated PtdIns5P production in regulating glucose transport by promoting PI 3-kinase signalling.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) is a minor phospholipid signal molecule involved in diverse biological processes. It is also the main precursor of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P(2)], which is well described as the substrate of the phospholipase C (PLC)-diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) signalling pathway. Recently, we have demonstrated that PI4P plays a role as an extracellular signalling molecule involved in the activation of xylanase-induced defence responses in tomato cell suspensions. Here we make an approach to the possible mode of action of extracellular PI4P by analysing the involvement of PLC/DGK signalling pathway. We show that extracellular PI4P can be incorporated into tomato cells and further metabolized to PI, although its conversion to PI(4,5)P(2) could not be detected. In addition, treatment of tomato cells with the PLC inhibitor U73122 inhibited the oxidative burst triggered by PI4P treatment, suggesting the involvement of PLC in the induction of this response. Nevertheless, we demonstrate that PI4P treatment does not induce DGK activity. These results indicate that PLC but not DKG activation would be triggered by extracellular PI4P. In this sense, a possible mode of action of extracellular PI4P as a direct substrate of PLC to induce this signalling pathway is discussed.

Abstract
Intraneuronal beta-amyloid (Abeta(i)) accumulates early in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and inclusion body myositis. Several organelles, receptor molecules, homeostatic processes, and signal transduction components have been identified as sensitive to Abeta. Although prior studies implicate the insulin-PI3K-Akt signaling cascade, a specific step within this or any essential metabolic or survival pathway has not emerged as a molecular target. We tested the effect of Abeta42 on each component of this cascade. In AD brain, the association between PDK and Akt, phospho-Akt levels and its activity were all decreased relative to control. In cell culture, Abeta(i) expression inhibited both insulin-induced Akt phosphorylation and activity. In vitro experiments identified that beta-amyloid (Abeta), especially oligomer preparations, specifically interrupted the PDK-dependent activation of Akt. Abeta(i) also blocked the association between PDK and Akt in cell-based and in vitro experiments. Importantly, Abeta did not interrupt Akt or PI3K activities (once stimulated) nor did it affect more proximal signal events. These results offer a novel therapeutic strategy to neutralize Abeta-induced energy failure and neuronal death.

Abstract
A survey of 1,804 human dicer-generated signaling siRNAs using automated quantitative imaging identified the phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate-mTOR signaling pathway as a primary regulator of iron-transferrin uptake. Background Iron uptake via endocytosis of iron-transferrin-transferrin receptor complexes is a rate-limiting step for cell growth, viability and proliferation in tumor cells as well as non-transformed cells such as activated lymphocytes. Signaling pathways that regulate transferrin uptake have not yet been identified. Results We surveyed the human signaling proteome for regulators that increase or decrease transferrin uptake by screening 1,804 dicer-generated signaling small interfering RNAs using automated quantitative imaging. In addition to known transport proteins, we identified 11 signaling proteins that included a striking signature set for the phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3)-target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway. We show that the PI3K-mTOR signaling pathway is a positive regulator of transferrin uptake that increases the number of transferrin receptors per endocytic vesicle without affecting endocytosis or recycling rates. Conclusion Our study identifies the PtdIns(3,4,5)P3-mTOR signaling pathway as a new regulator of iron-transferrin uptake and serves as a proof-of-concept that targeted RNA interference screens of the signaling proteome provide a powerful and unbiased approach to discover or rank signaling pathways that regulate a particular cell function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a potent activator of mesangial cell proliferation and migration. Although phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) enzymes are important downstream targets of the PDGF receptor, the contribution made by their 3-phosphoinositide products in the reorganization of actin cytoskeleton and focal adhesions has been questioned. METHODS AND RESULTS Pharmacological inhibition of the PI3K activity blocks PDGF-induced migration of human primary mesangial cells using an in vitro scrape wound healing assay. Acute (<10 min) inhibition of the PI3K activity did not alter the effect of PDGF on either stress fibre dissolution or reorganization of focal adhesions. However, at later times (>30 min), PDGF-stimulated responses were inhibited. In contrast, PDGF-stimulated membrane ruffling remained insensitive to PI3K inhibitors throughout. Inhibition of protein kinase C and Erk also attenuated PDGF-stimulated mesangial cell migration; however, neither signaling pathway was responsible for the initial effects on filamentous actin and focal adhesions. CONCLUSIONS We propose that following PDGF stimulation of mesangial cells, reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton occurs in a biphasic manner. The mechanism responsible for mesangial cell migration that occurs immediately following PDGF stimulation may serve to 'prime' for the subsequent 3-phosphoinositide-, protein-kinase-C-, and Erk-dependent migration.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides are minor constituents of cell membranes playing a critical role in the regulation of many cellular functions. Recent discoveries indicate that mutations in several phosphoinositide kinases and phosphatases generate imbalances in the levels of phosphoinositides, thereby leading to the development of human diseases. Although the roles of phosphoinositide 3-kinase products and PtdIns(4,5)P2 were largely studied these last years, the potential role of phosphatidylinositol monophosphates as direct signalling molecules is just emerging. PtdIns5P, the least characterized phosphoinositide, appears to be a new player in cell regulation. This review will summarize the current knowledge on the mechanisms of synthesis and degradation of PtdIns5P as well as its potential roles.

Abstract
During chemotaxis, phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP(3)) accumulates at the leading edge of a eukaryotic cell, where it induces the formation of pseudopodia. PIP(3) has been suggested to be the compass of cells navigating in gradients of signaling molecules. Recent observations suggest that chemotaxis is more complex than previously anticipated. Complete inhibition of all PIP(3) signaling has little effect, and alternative pathways have been identified. In addition, selective pseudopod growth and retraction are more important in directing cell movement than is the place where new pseudopodia are formed.

Abstract
During embryonic development, cell movement is orchestrated by a multitude of attractants and repellents. Chemoattractants applied as a gradient, such as cAMP with Dictyostelium discoideum or fMLP with neutrophils, induce the activation of phospholipase C (PLC) and phosphoinositide 3 (PI3)-kinase at the front of the cell, leading to the localized depletion of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI[4,5]P2) and the accumulation of phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate (PI[3,4,5]P3). Using D. discoideum, we show that chemorepellent cAMP analogues induce localized inhibition of PLC, thereby reversing the polarity of PI(4,5)P2. This leads to the accumulation of PI(3,4,5)P3 at the rear of the cell, and chemotaxis occurs away from the source. We conclude that a PLC polarity switch controls the response to attractants and repellents.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium invades non-phagocytic cells by inducing macropinocytosis. SopB is involved in modulating actin dynamics to promote Salmonella-induced invasion. We report here that SopB-generated PtdIns(3)P binds VAMP8/endobrevin to promote efficient bacterial phagocytosis. VAMP8 is recruited to Salmonella-induced macropinosomes in a nocodazole-dependent, but Brefeldin A-independent, manner. We found that VAMP8 directly binds to and colocalizes with PtdIns(3)P. The inositol phosphatase activity of SopB is required for PtdIns(3)P and VAMP8 accumulation, while wortmannin, a specific phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor, has no effect. Knockdown of endogenous VAMP8 by small interfering RNA or expression of a truncated VAMP8 (1-79aa) reduces the invasion level of wild-type Salmonella to that of the phosphatase-deficient SopB(C460S) mutant. Our study demonstrates that Salmonella exploit host SNARE proteins and vesicle trafficking to promote bacterial entry.

Abstract
We investigated if acute endurance-type exercise interacts with insulin-stimulated activation of atypical protein kinase C (aPKC) and insulin signalling to peptide chain elongation in human skeletal muscle. Four hours after acute one-legged exercise, insulin-induced glucose uptake was approximately 80% higher (N = 12, P < 0.05) in previously exercised muscle, measured during a euglycaemic-hyperinsulinaemic clamp (100 microU ml(-1)). Insulin increased (P < 0.05) both insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1 and IRS-2 associated phosphatidylinositol (PI)-3 kinase activity and led to increased (P < 0.001) phosphorylation of Akt on Ser(473) and Thr(308) in skeletal muscle. Interestingly, in response to prior exercise IRS-2-associated PI-3 kinase activity was higher (P < 0.05) both at basal and during insulin stimulation. This coincided with correspondingly altered phosphorylation of the extracellular-regulated protein kinase 1/2 (ERK 1/2), p70S6 kinase (P70S6K), eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF2) kinase and eEF2. aPKC was similarly activated by insulin in rested and exercised muscle, without detectable changes in aPKC Thr(410) phosphorylation. However, when adding phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-triphosphate (PIP3), the signalling product of PI-3 kinase, to basal muscle homogenates, aPKC was more potently activated (P = 0.01) in previously exercised muscle. Collectively, this study shows that endurance-type exercise interacts with insulin signalling to peptide chain elongation. Although protein turnover was not evaluated, this suggests that capacity for protein synthesis after acute endurance-type exercise may be improved. Furthermore, endurance exercise increased the responsiveness of aPKC to PIP3 providing a possible link to improved insulin-stimulated glucose uptake after exercise.

Abstract
We recently showed that, in the yeast Pichia pastoris, an ergosterol glucoside synthesizing enzyme, Atg26, is recruited to the precursor of the pexophagic structure, micropexophagic membrane apparatus (MIPA), under the regulation of phosphatidylinositol 4'-monophosphate (PI4P)-signaling during pexophagy. Atg26 was found to harbor a novel PI4P-binding motif, the GRAM domain. Both lipids, PI4P and sterol glucoside, synthesized by PpPik1 and PpAtg26, respectively, were necessary for pexophagy, in the step where the MIPA was formed. In this addendum, we review these findings, and speculate on the mechanistic and physiological implications of the functions of these lipids during the autophagic process.

Abstract
Lipid second messengers, particularly those derived from the polyphosphoinositide metabolism, play a pivotal role in multiple cell signaling networks. Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) generates specific 3'-phosphorylated inositol lipids that have been implicated in a multitude of cell functions. One of the best characterized targets of PI3K lipid products is the serine/threonine protein kinase Akt (protein kinase B). Recent findings have implicated the PI3K/Akt pathway in cancer progression because it stimulates cell proliferation and suppresses apoptosis. Evidence accumulated over the past 15 years has highlighted the presence of an autonomous nuclear inositol lipid cycle, and strongly suggests that lipid molecules are important components of signaling networks operating within the nucleus. PI3K, its lipid products, and Akt have also been identified at the nuclear level. In this review, we shall summarize the most updated findings about these molecules in relationship with suppression of apoptotic stimuli in PC12 cells.

Abstract
The small natural product wortmannin inhibits protein synthesis by modulating several phosphatidylinositol (PI) metabolic pathways. A primary target of wortmannin in yeast is the plasma membrane-associated PI 4-kinase (PI4K) Stt4p, which is required for actin cytoskeleton organization. Here we show that wortmannin treatment or inactivation of Stt4p, but not disorganization of the actin cytoskeleton per se, leads to a rapid attenuation of translation initiation. Interestingly, inactivation of Pik1p, a wortmannin-insensitive, functionally distinct PI4K, implicated in the regulation of Golgi functions and secretion, also results in severe translation initiation defects with a marked increase of the phosphorylation of the translation initiation factor eIF2alpha. Because wortmannin largely phenocopies the effects of rapamycin (e.g. it triggers nuclear accumulation of Gln3p), it likely also inhibits the PI kinase-related, target of rapamycin (TOR) kinases. Importantly, however, neither inactivation of Stt4p nor Pik1p significantly affects TOR-controlled readouts other than translation initiation, indicating that these PI4Ks do not simply function upstream of TOR. Together, our results reveal the existence of a novel translation initiation control mechanism in yeast that is tightly coupled to the synthesis of distinct PI4P pools.

Abstract
ARAP2 is a protein that contains both ArfGAP and RhoGAP domains. We found that it is a phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-trisphosphate-dependent Arf6 GAP that binds RhoA-GTP but lacks RhoGAP activity. In agreement with the hypothesis that ARAP2 mediates effects of RhoA, endogenous ARAP2 associated with focal adhesions (FAs) and reduction of ARAP2 expression, by RNAi, resulted in fewer FAs and actin stress fibers (SFs). In cells with reduced levels of endogenous ARAP2, FAs and SFs could be restored with wild-type recombinant ARAP2 but not mutants lacking ArfGAP or Rho-binding activity. Constitutively active Arf6 also caused a loss of SFs. The Rho effector ROKα was ineffective in restoring FAs. Conversely, overexpression of ARAP2 did not restore SFs in cells treated with a ROK inhibitor but induced punctate accumulations of paxillin. We conclude that ARAP2 is an Arf6GAP that functions downstream of RhoA to regulate focal adhesion dynamics.

Abstract
The lipid products of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) are involved in many cellular responses such as proliferation, migration and survival. Disregulation of PI3K-activated pathways is implicated in different disease including diabetes and cancer. Among the different products of PI3Ks, phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns-3,4,5-P3) has a well established role in signal transduction whereas the monophosphate phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PtdIns-3-P) has been considered for a long time just a cellular component confined in endosomal structures. Only recently several evidence have indicated that PtdIns-3-P can also act as a dynamic intracellular second messenger. The role of PtdIns-3-P as mediator of crucial intracellular signals is therefore just beginning to be appreciated. Here we review some of the latest evidence showing that pools of PtdIns-3-P can be generated upon cellular stimulation in compartments different from the "classical" endosomal region. We describe several proteins that can be targets in mediating signals deriving from such stimulated PtdIns-3-P pools. In addition we describe the potential mechanism of switching on and off such signals. Taken together all this evidence suggest a novel, key role for PtdIns-3-P in signal transduction.

Abstract
The phosphoinositide phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P(2)) is essential for many cellular processes and is linked to the etiology of numerous human diseases . PtdIns(4,5)P(2) has been indirectly implicated as a negative regulator of apoptosis ; however, it is unclear if apoptotic stimuli negatively regulate PtdIns(4,5)P(2) levels in vivo. Here, we show that two apoptotic-stress stimuli, hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) and UV irradiation, cause PtdIns(4,5)P(2) depletion during programmed cell death independently of and prior to caspase activation. Depletion of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) is essential for apoptosis because maintenance of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) levels by overexpression of PIP5Kalpha rescues cells from H(2)O(2)-induced apoptosis. PIP5Kalpha expression promotes both basal and sustained ERK1/2 activation after H(2)O(2) treatment, and importantly, pharmacological inhibition of ERK1/2 signaling blocks PIP5Kalpha-mediated cell survival. H(2)O(2) induces tyrosine phosphorylation and translocation of PIP5Kalpha away from its substrate at the plasma membrane, and both are dependent upon the activity of c-src family kinases. Furthermore, constitutively active c-src enhances tyrosine phosphorylation of PIP5Kalpha in vivo and is sufficient for the translocation of PIP5Kalpha away from the plasma membrane. These observations demonstrate that certain apoptotic stimuli initiate an essential signaling pathway during cell death, and this pathway leads to caspase-independent downregulation of PIP5Kalpha and its product PtdIns(4,5)P(2).

Abstract
Polarity is a central feature of eukaryotic cells and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3) has a central role in the polarization of neurons and chemotaxing cells. In polarized epithelial cells, PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 is stably localized at the basolateral plasma membrane, but excluded from the apical plasma membrane, as shown by localization of GFP fused to the PtdIns(3,4,5)P3-binding pleckstrin-homology domain of Akt (GFP-PH-Akt), a fusion protein that indicates the location of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3. Here, we ectopically inserted exogenous PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 into the apical plasma membrane of polarized Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. Within 5 min many cells formed protrusions that extended above the apical surface. These protrusions contained basolateral plasma membrane proteins and excluded apical proteins, indicating that their plasma membrane was transformed from apical to basolateral. Addition of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 to the basolateral surface of MDCK cells grown as cysts caused basolateral protrusions. MDCK cells grown in the presence of a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor had abnormally short lateral surfaces, indicating that PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 regulates the formation of the basolateral surface.

Abstract
The brain-specific protein p42IP4, also called centaurin-alpha1, specifically binds phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PtdIns(3,4,5)P3] and inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate [Ins(1,3,4,5)P4]. Here, we investigate the interaction of p42IP4/centaurin-alpha1 with nardilysin (NRDc), a member of the M16 family of zinc metalloendopeptidases. Members of this peptidase family exhibit enzymatic activity and also act as receptors for other proteins. We found that p42IP4/centaurin-alpha1 binds specifically to NRDc from rat brain. We further detected that centaurin-alpha2, a protein that is highly homologous to p42IP4/centaurin-alpha1 and expressed ubiquitously, also binds to NRDc. In vivo interaction was demonstrated by co-immunoprecipitation of p42IP4/centaurin-alpha1 with NRDc from rat brain. The acidic domain of NRDc (NRDc-AD), which does not participate in catalysis, is sufficient for the protein interaction with p42IP4. Interestingly, preincubation of p42IP4 with its cognate ligands D-Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 and the lipid diC8PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 negatively modulates the interaction between the two proteins. D-Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 and diC8PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 suppress the interaction with virtually identical concentration dependencies. This inhibition is highly ligand specific. The enantiomer L-Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 is not effective. Similarly, the phosphoinositides diC8PtdIns(3,4)P2, diC8PtdIns(3,5)P2 and diC8PtdIns(4,5)P2 all have no influence on the interaction. Further experiments revealed that endogenous p42IP4 from rat brain binds to glutathione-S-transferase (GST)-NRDc-AD. The proteins dissociate from each other when incubated with D-Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, but not with inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3]. In summary, we demonstrate that p42IP4 binds to NRDc via the NRDc-AD, and that this interaction is controlled by the cognate cellular ligands of p42IP4/centaurin-alpha1. Thus, specific ligands of p42IP4 can modulate the recruitment of proteins, which are docked to p42IP4, to specific cellular compartments.

Abstract
The causative agent of Legionnaires' disease, Legionella pneumophila, employs the intracellular multiplication (Icm)/defective organelle trafficking (Dot) type IV secretion system (T4SS) to upregulate phagocytosis and to establish a replicative vacuole in amoebae and macrophages. Legionella-containing vacuoles (LCVs) do not fuse with endosomes but recruit early secretory vesicles. Here we analyze the role of host cell phosphoinositide (PI) metabolism during uptake and intracellular replication of L. pneumophila. Genetic and pharmacological evidence suggests that class I phosphatidylinositol(3) kinases (PI3Ks) are dispensable for phagocytosis of wild-type L. pneumophila but inhibit intracellular replication of the bacteria and participate in the modulation of the LCV. Uptake and degradation of an icmT mutant strain lacking a functional Icm/Dot transporter was promoted by PI3Ks. We identified Icm/Dot-secreted proteins which specifically bind to phosphatidylinositol(4) phosphate (PI(4)P) in vitro and preferentially localize to LCVs in the absence of functional PI3Ks. PI(4)P was found to be present on LCVs using as a probe either an antibody against PI(4)P or the PH domain of the PI(4)P-binding protein FAPP1 (phosphatidylinositol(4) phosphate adaptor protein-1). Moreover, the presence of PI(4)P on LCVs required a functional Icm/Dot T4SS. Our results indicate that L. pneumophila modulates host cell PI metabolism and exploits the Golgi lipid second messenger PI(4)P to anchor secreted effector proteins to the LCV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In a specialized epithelial cell such as the Drosophila photoreceptor, a conserved set of proteins is essential for the establishment of polarity, its maintenance, or both--in Drosophila, these proteins include the apical factors Bazooka, D-atypical protein kinase C, and D-Par6 together with D-Ecadherin. However, little is known about the mechanisms by which such apical factors might regulate the differentiation of the apical membrane into functional domains such as an apical-most stack of microvilli or more lateral sub-apical membrane. RESULTS We show that in photoreceptors Bazooka (D-Par3) recruits the tumor suppressor lipid phosphatase PTEN to developing cell-cell junctions (Zonula Adherens, za). za-localized PTEN controls the spatially restricted accumulation of optimum levels of the lipid PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 within the apical membrane domain. This in turn finely tunes activation of Akt1, a process essential for proper morphogenesis of the light-gathering organelle, consisting of a stack of F-actin rich microvilli within the apical membrane. CONCLUSIONS Spatially localized PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 mediates directional sensing during neutrophil and Dictyostelium chemotaxis. We conclude that a conserved mechanism also operates during photoreceptor epithelial cell morphogenesis in order to achieve normal differentiation of the apical membrane.

Abstract
Endocytosis is an important virulence function for Entamoeba histolytica, the causative agent of amoebic dysentery. Although a number of E. histolytica proteins that regulate this process have been identified, less is known about the role of lipids. In other systems, phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI3P), a product of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase), has been shown to be required for endocytosis. FYVE-finger domains are protein motifs that bind specifically to PI3P. Using a PI3P biosensor consisting of glutathione-S-transferase (GST) fused to two tandem FYVE-finger domains, we have localized PI3P to phagosomes but not fluid-phase pinosomes in E. histolytica, suggesting a role for PI3P in phagocytosis. Treatment of cells with PI 3-kinase inhibitors impaired GST-2 x FYVE-phagosome association supporting the authenticity of the biosensor staining. However, treatment with PI 3-kinase inhibitors did not inhibit E. histolytica-particle interaction, indicating that PI3P is not required for the initial step, but is required for subsequent steps of phagocytosis.

Abstract
Autophagy is a highly conserved process in eukaryotes in which the cytoplasm, including excess or aberrant organelles, is sequestered into double-membrane vesicles and delivered to the degradative organelle, the lysosome/vacuole, for breakdown and eventual recycling of the resulting macromolecules. This process has an important role in various biological events such as adaptation to changing environmental conditions, cellular remodeling during development and differentiation, and determination of lifespan. Auto-phagy is also involved in preventing certain types of disease, although it may contribute to some pathologies. Recent studies have identified many components that are required to drive this complicated cellular process. Auto-phagy-related genes were first identified in yeast, but homologs are found in all eukaryotes. Analyses in a range of model systems have provided huge advances toward understanding the molecular basis of autophagy. Here we review our current knowledge on the machinery and molecular mechanism of autophagy.

Abstract
The biological and pathophysiological significance of class II phosphoinositide 3-kinase enzyme expression currently remains unclear. Using an in vitro scrape wound assay and time-lapse video microscopy, we demonstrate that cell motility is increased in cultures expressing recombinant PI3K-C2beta enzyme. In addition, overexpression of PI3K-C2beta transiently decreased cell adhesion, stimulated the formation of cytoplasmic processes, and decreased the rate of cell proliferation. Consistent with these observations, expression of PI3K-C2beta also decreased expression of alpha4 beta1 integrin subunits. Using asynchronous cultures, we show that endogenous PI3K-C2beta is present in lamellipodia of motile cells. When cells expressing recombinant PI3K-C2beta were plated onto fibronectin, cortical actin staining increased markedly and actin rich lamellipodia and filopodia became evident. Overexpression of a 2xFYVE(Hrs) domain fusion protein abolished this response demonstrating that the effect of PI3K-C2beta on the reorganization of actin filaments is dependent upon PtdIns3P. Finally, overexpression of PI3K-C2beta increased GTP loading of Cdc42. Our data demonstrates for the first time, that PI3K-C2beta plays a regulatory role in cell motility and that the mechanism by which it reorganizes the actin cytoskeleton is dependent upon PtdIns3P production.

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

Abstract
Phosphoinositides (PI) are important signaling molecules involved in the regulation of vesicular trafficking. We found that phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate [PI(4,5)P(2)] increase the secretory response triggered by 10 mum Ca(2+) in streptolysin-O-permeabilized insulin-secreting INS-1E cells. In addition, nutrient-induced exocytosis was diminished in intact cells expressing constructs that sequester PI(4,5)P(2) and in cells transfected with constructs that reduce by RNA interference the level of two enzymes involved in PI(4,5)P(2) production, type III PI4-kinase beta and type I phosphatidylinositol 4-bisphosphate 5-kinase-gamma. To clarify the mechanism of action of PI, we investigated the involvement in the regulation of insulin exocytosis of three potential PI targets, phospholipase D1, the Ca(2+)-dependent activator protein for secretion 1, and Munc18-interacting protein 1. Transfection of insulin-secreting cells with plasmids that direct the synthesis of small interfering RNAs capable of reducing the endogenous levels of these proteins inhibited hormone release elicited by glucose- and cAMP-elevating agents without affecting basal release. Our data indicate that the production of PI(4,5)P(2) is necessary for proper control of beta-cell secretion and suggest that at least part of the effect of PI on insulin exocytosis could be exerted through the activation of phospholipase D1, Ca(2+)-dependent activator protein for secretion 1, and Munc18-interacting protein 1.

Abstract
During viral infection, fusion of the viral envelope with endosomal membranes and nucleocapsid release were thought to be concomitant events. We show here that for the vesicular stomatitis virus they occur sequentially, at two successive steps of the endocytic pathway. Fusion already occurs in transport intermediates between early and late endosomes, presumably releasing the nucleocapsid within the lumen of intra-endosomal vesicles, where it remains hidden. Transport to late endosomes is then required for the nucleocapsid to be delivered to the cytoplasm. This last step, which initiates infection, depends on the late endosomal lipid lysobisphosphatidic acid (LBPA) and its putative effector Alix/AIP1, and is regulated by phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PtdIns3P) signalling via the PtdIns3P-binding protein Snx16. We conclude that the nucleocapsid is exported into the cytoplasm after the back-fusion of internal vesicles with the limiting membrane of late endosomes, and that this process is controlled by the phospholipids LBPA and PtdIns3P and their effectors.

Abstract
A prominent regulatory property of plant shaker-type K+ channels is the 'rundown' that causes channel closure upon membrane excision from the cell, implicating intracellular factor(s) in maintaining channel activity. One such factor has been identified as hydrolysable ATP-Mg although the mechanism for ATP function remains unknown. Here we report identification of phosphatidylinositol (PI) phosphates (PIPs) as essential regulators for the voltage-dependent and -independent activation of plant shaker-type channels such as SKOR, an outward rectifying K+ channel. Inhibition of PI kinase activity abolished the function of ATP-Mg in restoration of rundown channel activity, demonstrating that PIPs production by PI kinases and ATP-Mg underlies ATP-induced activation of the rundown channel. We also identified aluminum block as a common feature of the plant shaker-type channels and provided evidence that aluminum block of these channels may result from Al interaction with PIPs.

Abstract
There is increasing evidence that Forkhead box 'Other' (FoxO) proteins, a subgroup of the Forkhead transcription factor family, have an important role in mediating the effects of insulin and growth factors on diverse physiological functions, including cell proliferation, apoptosis and metabolism. Genetic studies in Caenorhabditis (Caenorhabditis elegans) and Drosophila demonstrate that FoxO proteins are ancient targets of insulin-like signaling involved in the regulation of metabolism and longevity. Studies in mammalian cells reveal that FoxO proteins regulate cell cycle progression and promote resistance to oxidative stress; both in vivo and cell culture studies support the concept that FoxO proteins have an important role in mediating the effects of insulin on metabolism, including its effects on hepatic glucose production. Phosphorylation and acetylation modulate FoxO function and control nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling, DNA binding and protein-protein interactions. FoxO transcription factors exert positive and negative effects on gene expression, through direct binding to DNA target sites and protein-protein interactions with other transcription factors and coactivators. This paper provides an overview of studies leading to the identification of FoxO proteins as targets of insulin action and the mechanisms mediating the effects of insulin-like signaling on FoxO function, emphasizing the role of FoxO proteins in mediating the effects of insulin on metabolism.

Abstract
Binding of the Rac1-specific guanine-nucleotide-exchange factor, Tiam1, to the plasma membrane requires the N-terminal pleckstrin homology domain. In the present study, we show that membrane-association is mediated by binding of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) to the pleckstrin homology domain. Moreover, in 1321N1 astrocytoma cells, translocation of Tiam1 to the cytosol, following receptor-mediated stimulation of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) breakdown, correlates with decreased Rac1-GTP levels, indicating that membrane-association is required for GDP/GTP exchange on Rac1. In addition, we show that platelet-derived growth factor activates Rac1 in vivo by increasing PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) concentrations, rather than the closely related lipid, PtdIns(3,4)P(2). Finally, the data demonstrate that PtdIns(4,5)P(2) and PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) bind to the same pleckstrin homology domain in Tiam1 and that soluble inositol phosphates appear to compete with lipids for this binding. Together, these novel observations provide strong evidence that distinct phosphoinositides regulate different functions of this enzyme, indicating that local concentrations of signalling lipids and the levels of cytosolic inositol phosphates will play crucial roles in determining its activity in vivo.

Abstract
Motile nonmuscle cells concentrate phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3) and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2) in areas of new actin filament assembly. There is great interest in assessing the in vivo functional significance of these phosphoinositides, and we have used Listeria monocytogenes to explore the contribution of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 and PtdIns(4,5)P2 to its actin-based motility. In Listeria-infected PtK2 cells Akt-pleckstrin homology (PH)-green fluorescent protein (GFP) and phospholipase C delta (PLC delta)-PH-GFP both first concentrate at the front of motile Listeria, subsequently surrounding the bacterium and then concentrating in the actin filament tail. Surprisingly, Listeria ActA mutant strains lacking the putative phosphoinositide binding site are also able to concentrate these probes. Reduction of available PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 by expression of Akt-PH-GFP and available PtdIns(4,5)P2 by expression of PLC delta-PH-GFP both significantly slow Listeria actin-based movement. Treatment of cells with the PI 3-kinase inhibitor, LY294002, dissociates Akt-PH but not PLC delta-PH, from the bacterial surface and cell membranes, and results in near complete inhibition of Listeria actin-based motility and filopod formation. Removal of LY294002 results in rapid and full recovery of Akt-PH localization, Listeria actin-based motility, and filopod formation. These findings suggest that PtdIns(4,5)P2 is concentrated at the surface of Listeria and serves as the substrate for PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 production, indicating a central role for PI 3-kinases in Listeria intracellular actin-based motility and filopod formation.

Abstract
Phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) is a phosphatase that removes phosphates primarily from lipids. It has also been called mutated in multiple advanced cancers 1 and transforming growth factor-beta regulated epithelial cell-enriched phosphatase 1. The best described substrate of PTEN is phosphatidyliniositol (3,4,5)-tris-phosphate [PtdIns(3,4,5)P3]. PTEN removes the phosphate in PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) to generate PtdIns(4,5)P(2). PTEN serves to counter-balance the effects of phosphoinositide 3' kinase, which normally adds a phosphate to PtdIns(4,5)P(2) to generate PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3). PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) recruits kinases such as phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1, which in turn phosphorylate Akt, which phosphorylates other downstream proteins involved in regulation of apoptosis and cell-cycle progression. PTEN removal of the phosphate from PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) inhibits this pathway by preventing localisation of proteins with pleckstrin homology domains to the cell membrane. Alterations of the PTEN gene are associated with cancer and other diseases. Novel therapeutic approaches have been developed to counteract the deletion/mutation of PTEN in human cancer. This review will discuss the role of PTEN in signal transduction and cancer as well as pharmacological approaches to combat PTEN loss in human cancer.

Abstract
PtdInsPs are critical signaling molecules that regulate diverse cellular functions. One method to study PtdInsP biology involves using synthetic PtdInsP analogs to activate endogenous PtdInsP-mediated events in living cells. Such methodology has been successfully employed to explore the role of several PtdInsP-biological outcomes in the cytoplasm. However, this strategy has not previously been used to examine the function of PtdInsPs in the nucleus of live cells, primarily because there has not been a well-defined PtdInsP-binding protein to provide functional nuclear readouts. Here we have shown that synthetic PtdIns(5)P analogs access and function in the nucleus. We have found that these molecules modify the sub-nuclear localization of PHD finger-containing proteins in live cells and in real time. This work demonstrates that synthetic PtdInsPs and PtdInsP derivatives may be powerful tools for probing nuclear PtdInsP functions. Finally, our work supports a model that endogenous PtdInsPs regulate sub-nuclear localization and function of endogenous nuclear PtdInsP-binding proteins.

Abstract
The phosphoinositide metabolism that is highly controlled by a set of kinases, phosphatases and phospholipases leads to the production of several second messengers playing critical roles in intracellular signal transduction mechanisms. Recent discoveries have unraveled unexpected roles for the three phosphatidylinositol monophosphates, PtdIns(3)P, PtdIns(4)P and PtdIns(5)P, that appear now as important lipid messengers able to specifically interact with proteins. The formation of functionally distinct and independently regulated pools of phosphatidylinositol monophosphates probably contributes to the specificity of the interactions with their targets. The relative enrichment of organelles in a particular species of phosphoinositides (i.e. PtdIns(3)P in endosomes, PtdIns(4)P in Golgi and PtdIns(4,5)P2 in plasma membrane) suggests the notion of lipid-defined organelle identity. PtdIns(3)P is now clearly involved in vesicular trafficking by interaction with a set of FYVE domain-containing proteins both in yeast and in mammals. PtdIns(4)P, which until now was only considered as a precursor for PtdIns(4,5)P2, appears as a regulator on its own, by recruiting a set of proteins to the trans-Golgi network. PtdIns(5)P, the most recently discovered inositol lipid, is also emerging as a potentially important signaling molecule.

Abstract
Modulation of voltage-gated L-type Ca2+ channels by phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) regulates Ca2+ entry and plays a crucial role in vascular excitation-contraction coupling. Angiotensin II (Ang II) activates Ca2+ entry by stimulating L-type Ca2+ channels through Gbeta-sensitive PI3K in portal vein myocytes. Moreover, PI3K and Ca2+ entry activation have been reported to be necessary for receptor tyrosine kinase-coupled and G protein-coupled receptor-induced DNA synthesis in vascular cells. We have previously shown that tyrosine kinase-regulated class Ia and G protein-regulated class Ib PI3Ks are able to modulate vascular L-type Ca2+ channels. PI3Ks display 2 enzymatic activities: a lipid-kinase activity leading to the formation of phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PI(3,4,5)P3 or PIP3] and a serine-kinase activity. Here we show that exogenous PIP3 applied into the cell through the patch pipette is able to reproduce the Ca2+ channel-stimulating effect of Ang II and PI3Ks. Moreover, the Ang II-induced PI3K-mediated stimulation of Ca2+ channel and the resulting increase in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration are blocked by the anti-PIP3 antibody. Mutants of PI3K transfected into vascular myocytes also revealed the essential role of the lipid-kinase activity of PI3K in Ang II-induced Ca2+ responses. These results suggest that PIP3 is necessary and sufficient to activate a Ca2+ influx in vascular myocytes stimulated by Ang II.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gelsolin, an actin capping protein of osteoclast podosomes, has a unique function in regulating assembly and disassembly of the podosome actin filament. Previously, we have reported that osteopontin (OPN) binding to integrin alphavbeta3 increased the levels of gelsolin-associated polyphosphoinositides, podosome assembly/disassembly, and actin filament formation. The present study was undertaken to identify the possible role of polyphosphoinositides and phosphoinositides binding domains (PBDs) of gelsolin in the osteoclast cytoskeletal structural organization and osteoclast function. RESULTS Transduction of TAT/full-length gelsolin and PBDs containing gelsolin peptides into osteoclasts demonstrated: 1) F-actin enriched patches; 2) disruption of actin ring; 3) an increase in the association polyphosphoinositides (PPIs) with the transduced peptides containing PBDs. The above-mentioned effects were more pronounced with gelsolin peptide containing 2 tandem repeats of PBDs (PBD (2)). Binding of PPIs to the transduced peptides has resulted in reduced levels of PPIs association with the endogenous gelsolin, and thereby disrupted the actin remodeling processes in terms of podosome organization in the clear zone area and actin ring formation. These peptides also exhibited a dominant negative effect in the formation of WASP-Arp2/3 complex indicating the role of phosphoinositides in WASP activation. The TAT-PBD gelsolin peptides transduced osteoclasts are functionally defective in terms of motility and bone resorption. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, these data demonstrate that transduction of PBD gelsolin peptides into osteoclasts produced a dominant negative effect on actin assembly, motility, and bone resorption. These findings indicate that phosphoinositide-mediated signaling mechanisms regulate osteoclast cytoskeleton, podosome assembly/disassembly, actin ring formation and bone resorption activity of osteoclasts.

Abstract
Sec14p homology domains are found in a large number of proteins from plants, yeast, invertebrates, and higher eukaryotes. We report that the N-terminal Sec14p homology domain of the human protein tyrosine phosphatase PTP-MEG2 binds phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3)) in vitro and colocalizes with this lipid on secretory vesicle membranes in intact cells. Point mutations that prevented PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) binding abrogated the capacity of PTP-MEG2 to induce homotypic secretory vesicle fusion in cells. Inhibition of cellular PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) synthesis also rapidly reversed the effect of PTP-MEG2 on secretory vesicles. Finally, we show that several different phosphoinositide kinases colocalize with PTP-MEG2, thus allowing for local synthesis of PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) in secretory vesicle membranes. We suggest that PTP-MEG2 through its Sec14p homology domain couples inositide phosphorylation to tyrosine dephosphorylation and the regulation of intracellular traffic of the secretory pathway in T cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nuclear transcriptome initiates specific proteome that facilitates metabolic events culminating in restitution of cell components and reproduction of the discrete cellular function, but the magnitude of various genes induction and following proteomic, lipidomic, and glycomic processes provide distinctness to the final product and its function. In homeostasis, the challenged cell responds to stimuli in defined and predictable mode but in the disease such as ulcerative erosions the ablation of cell survival signals and cell apoptosis is enhanced. Therefore, to uncover the discreteness and dissimilarity of the pathological processes induced by elicobacter pylori (H. pylori) lipopolysaccharide (LPS), not only measurement of the genomic events is crucial, but a complete cycle of events reproducing the cell specific proteins, lipids, and cell-specific environment created in situ require thorough investigation. METHODS An impact of H. pylori LPS-induced processes on posttranslational lipidomic activity in endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi and apical membrane was evaluated in the in vitro paradigm assembled with components of the rat gastric mucosal epithelial cells. RESULTS In ER, the signals commanding synthesis of biomembrane in the presence of control, the LPS-derived or LPS-admixed cytosol was identical. The assembled vesicles contained the same amount of apoprotein and had the same lipid composition. Their biomembrane contained the same amount of sphingolipids in form of ceramide, which is determining factor of the ER-transport vesicle completion. The transport of apoprotein in ER vesicles to Golgi was also not changed. In Golgi, LPS-derived cytosol affected two distinct and concurrent with assembly of Golgi transport vesicles processes. The LPS-derived cytosol affected formation of Golgi transport vesicles destined to apical membrane and the incorporation (fusion) of Golgi vesicles with apical epithelial membrane. The LPS-derived cytosol decreased the production of Golgi vesicles by 15% and their fusion with the apical epithelial membrane by 83%. In contrast with wortmannin, the LPS-derived cytosol had no impact on Golgi transport vesicles association with the epithelial membrane. CONCLUSIONS We concluded that LPS interferes with MAPK-dependent activation of cytosolic PLA(2) since MAPKs immunoprecipitate added to the LPS-cytosol restored activation of cytosolic PLA(2)-specific fusion of the Golgi transport vesicles with apical mucosal cell membrane. On the other hand, wortmannin that inhibited the association of Golgi transport vesicles with apical membrane, interferes with cytosolic activity that controls association of PI3K-containing Golgi vesicles with the apical membrane. Together, our studies present evidence that allow to conclude that LPS affects MAPK-specific phosphorylation and PLA(2)-assisted membranes' fusion, whereas wortmannin affects association of PI3K- and PI3P-containing Golgi-derived transport vesicles with the membrane. In the final outcome, both actions result in a diminished or inhibited restitution of apical membrane.

Abstract
The directional movement of cells in chemoattractant gradients requires sophisticated control of the actin cytoskeleton. Uniform exposure of Dictyostelium discoideum amoebae as well as mammalian leukocytes to chemoattractant triggers two phases of actin polymerization. In the initial rapid phase, motility stops and the cell rounds up. During the second slow phase, pseudopodia are extended from local regions of the cell perimeter. These responses are highly correlated with temporal and spatial accumulations of PI(3,4,5)P3/PI(3,4)P2 reflected by the translocation of specific PH domains to the membrane. The slower phase of PI accumulation and actin polymerization is more prominent in less differentiated, unpolarized cells, is selectively increased by disruption of PTEN, and is relatively more sensitive to perturbations of PI3K. Optimal levels of the second responses allow the cell to respond rapidly to switches in gradient direction by extending lateral pseudopods. Consequently, PI3K inhibitors impair chemotaxis in wild-type cells but partially restore polarity and chemotactic response in pten- cells. Surprisingly, the fast phase of PI(3,4,5)P3 accumulation and actin polymerization, which is relatively resistant to PI3K inhibition, can support inefficient but reasonably accurate chemotaxis.

Abstract
The class Ia phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinase consisting of p110 catalytic and p85 regulatory subunits is activated by Tyr kinase-linked membrane receptors such as FcgammaRII through the association of p85 with the phosphorylated receptors or adaptors. The heterodimeric PI 3-kinase is also activated by G protein-coupled chemotactic fMLP receptors, and activation of the lipid kinase plays an important role in various immune responses, including superoxide formation in neutrophils. Although fMLP-induced superoxide formation is markedly enhanced in FcgammaRII-primed neutrophils, the molecular mechanisms remain poorly characterized. In this study, we identified two Tyr-phosphorylated proteins, c-Cbl (Casitas B-lineage lymphoma) and Grb2-associated binder 2 (Gab2), as PI 3-kinase adaptors that are Tyr phosphorylated upon the stimulation of FcgammaRII in differentiated neutrophil-like THP-1 cells. Interestingly, Gab2 was, but c-Cbl was not, further Ser/Thr phosphorylated by fMLP. Thus, the adaptor Gab2 appeared to be dually phosphorylated at the Ser/Thr and Tyr residues through the two different types of membrane receptors. The Ser/Thr phosphorylation of Gab2 required the activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase, and fMLP receptor stimulation indeed activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase in the cells. Enhanced superoxide formation in response to Fcgamma and fMLP was markedly attenuated when the Gab2 Ser/Thr phosphorylation was inhibited. These results show the importance of the dual phosphorylation of PI 3-kinase adaptor Gab2 for the enhanced superoxide formation in neutrophil-type cells.

Abstract
Phosphorylated derivatives of phosphatydylinositol (PtdIns), collectively called phosphoinositides (PIs), have been recognized as versatile second messengers and modulators of lipid membrane composition in all eukaryotes. Over the last several years, PIs emerged as key membrane-localized signals for regulating a myriad of cellular processes, including insulin-induced membrane receptor signaling, GLUT4 membrane trafficking and the accompanying actin cytoskeletal rearrangement. PIs are synthesized from PtdIns by the action of kinases, specific for one of the 3 hydroxyls at positions D-3, D-4 and D-5 in the inositol head group and are degraded/turned over by the also position-specific action of phosphoinositide phosphatases. Work over the last several years has clearly implicated the products of PI 3-kinase activity, PtdIns 3,4,5-P3 and PtdIns 3,4-P2, as key elements in the proximal insulin receptor signaling circuit that regulates GLUT4 membrane dynamics. Emerging evidence has accumulated to suggest the role for the products of PI 4-kinases and PI 5-kinases in this process, likely at more distal steps. Here I review our current understanding of the role for PIs and the enzymes involved in their turnover in the regulation of GLUT4 membrane dynamics in response to insulin, endothelin-1 and hyperosmotic shock.
