Molecular mechanisms of Sorting nexin-9 in membrane triggered actin polymerisation
… in a rare disease of phospho- inositide lipid metabolism, Lowe syndrome. It’s multifaceted nature is attributed to its structure. The SH3-PX-BAR domains of SNX9 are able to integrate inter- actions with phosphatidylinositol phosphates (PIPs) at membranes, and membrane curvature sensing to …

Regulatory and Gating Mechanisms of TMEM16A Chloride Channel
… Ca2+-dependent ion channels and phospholipid scramblases. The TMEM16A and TMEM16B CaCCs conduct Cl- across the membrane and regulate transepithelial fluid transport, smooth muscle contraction, neuronal excitability and sensory signal transduction. Most other TMEM16 members are scramblases …

TORC2 and Eisosomes Are Spatially Interdependent, Requiring Optimal Level of Pi(4,5)P<sub>2</sub> for Their Integrity
… this study, I reveal that the eisosome organizer Pil1 colocalizes with the MCT marker Avo2. Furthermore, I provide evidence that the formation of MCT is dependent on both eisosome integrity and adequate levels of the plasma membrane phosphoinositide PI(4,5)P2. Taken together, my findings indicate …

Regulatory role of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinases in brain inflammation
Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2], mainly produced by the type I phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase (PIP5KI) family members, PIP5KIα, PIP5KIβ and PIP5KIγ, is an important regulator of diverse cellular processes at the cell surface, such as cell survival, cell proliferation, …

Protein Regulators of Phosphoinositides as Promoters of Cancer Metastasis
… tumors. However, the molecular mechanisms underpinning this multistep progression are poorly defined. Successful metastasis requires a cancer cell to acquire multiple capabilities, including the ability to migrate, invade, and co-opt the microenvironment in the distal organ for colonization. …

Regulation of lipid signaling at the Golgi by the lipid phosphatases hSAC1 and OCRL1
Phosphoinositides are key lipid signaling molecules present in membranes of all eukaryotes. Different species of phosphoinositides serve as membrane signposts at distinct cellular compartments. This assymetric distribution of phosphoinositides is achieved by the presence of an elaborate set of …

Exploring the Impact of Endothelial Bone Morphogenetic Protein Receptor 2 Loss on Phosphoinositide and Cytoskeletal Assembly Dynamics and the Pathobiology of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
… and the presence of phosphoinositide (PI) species in specific intracellular compartments. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a disease characterized by lung vascular obstruction, endothelial dysfunction, and heterozygous germline mutations in BMPR2, which encodes the bone …

The role of PTEN as a PI(3,4)P2 lipid phosphatase in Class I phosphoinositide 3-kinase signalling
… Dissertation title: The role of PTEN as a PI(3,4)P2 lipid phosphatase in Class I phosphoinositide 3-kinase signalling Abstract Class I phosphoinositide 3-kinases (Class I PI3Ks) are essential players involved in the signalling events in the cell and are critical promoters of cellular …

A Role for the Phosphoinositide Lipid Kinase PI4KIIIbeta in Breast Oncogenesis and Akt Activation
The lipid kinase phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase III β (PI4KIIIβ) phosphorylates phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) to generate PI(4)P in the Golgi. PI4KIIIβ is likely involved in the development of breast cancer as it has been reported genetically amplified in a subset of human breast tumours and is a …

Synaptojanin1 is involved in endolysosomal trafficking in cone photoreceptors
… membranes from the outer segment; the retinal pigment epithelium phagocytoses outer segment discs. Therefore the focus on outer segment trafficking has resulted in a deficit in our understanding of the process of protein degradation in photoreceptor cells. In this study we establish that the …

Evaluating Phosphatidylinositide as Lipid Biomarkers for Hyperglycemia-related Triple-negative Breast Cancer Aggressiveness
… options and poor patient outcomes. Clinical and epidemiological studies suggest that systemic metabolic conditions, particularly high blood glucose associated with Type 2 Diabetes, may worsen TNBC progression. However, there are no current biomarker for detecting TNBC, especially in hyperglycemic …

Differential Regulation of Phosphatidylinositol 4-Phosphate 5 Kinase Beta during Hypertonic and Oxidative Stress
Of the total amount of phospholipids in the cell, phosphoinositides account for only a small fraction, yet they play an indispensable role in regulating cellular homeostasis. The phosphatidylinositol derivative, PI(4,5)P2 (PIP2)is an essential mediator of cellular processes such as signal …
