Investigating the isoform-specific role of phosphoinositide 3- kinase p110delta
Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) are a family of enzymes that regulate a diverse array of biological functions in every cell type by generating lipid second messengers. The PI3K family is comprised of multiple isoforms that are divided into three main classes; class I, II and III. All class I …

Interactome Analysis Identifies Novel Targets of Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) that Mediate Astrocyte Neuroprotection
… Here, a chemical genetics screen revealed phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) as a central player transducing ACM-mediated neuroprotection. To identify additional proteins contributing to the protective activity, endogenous neuronal PI3K was immunoprecipitated from astrocytes exposed to ACM or …

A dissection of class I phosphoinositide 3-kinase signalling in mouse embryonic fibroblasts and prostate organoids
… are a family (α, β, δ and γ) of ubiquitous lipid kinases that can be activated by cell surface receptors to 3-phosphorylate PI(4,5)P2 (phosphatidylinositol(4,5)-bisphosphate) and generate the signalling lipid PI(3,4,5)P3. The PI(3,4,5)P3 signal then activates a diverse collection of effector …

The role of PTEN as a PI(3,4)P2 lipid phosphatase in Class I phosphoinositide 3-kinase signalling
… 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 growth, survival and metabolism. Once …

The role of the class III phosphoinositide 3-kinase VPS34 in regulatory T cells and activated CD8+ T cells
The class III PI3-kinase VPS34 is a mediator of endocytosis, trafficking of intracellular membranes and vesicles, and autophagy in various cell types. Given its central role in key cellbiological processes, we explored whether VPS34 is critical for immune cells by generating conditional knockout …

B-Cell Adapter for Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase Is a Signaling Adapter in the Toll-Like Receptor/Interleukin-1 Receptor Superfamily
… obligate role in linking TLRs to activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) through recruitment of PI3K to the signaling complex and relief of inhibitory influences on PI3K activity. Importantly, BCAP selectively mediates TLR signaling towards the PI3K branch without affecting signaling to …

Systematic Analysis of Crosstalk in the PDGF Receptor Signal Transduction Network
… (PDGF) receptor signaling network, in which phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and Ras/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk) pathways are prominently activated. We show that, while PI3K signaling is insulated from crosstalk, PI3K enhances Erk activation in multiple ways. Whereas …

Dual Inhibition of the PI3K/Akt and MEK5/ERK5 Pathways for the Treatment of Breast Cancer
… frontiers. In particular, aberrations in the Phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) and Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) pathways have been linked to increased breast cancer proliferation and survival. It has been proposed that these survival characteristics are enhanced through compensatory …
