Phosphoinositides and PIPs01:42

Phosphoinositides and PIPs

Phosphoinositides are a group of phospholipids containing a glycerol backbone with two fatty acid chains and a phosphate attached to a myoinositol sugar ring. The inositol head group extends into the cytoplasm, where it is modified by adding phosphate groups to form phosphatidylinositol phosphates or PIPs.
Different phosphoinositides are synthesized and recruited on the cytosolic face of the plasma membrane. The localization of specific phosphoinositides concentrated in separate membrane...
Protein Kinases and Phosphatases02:54

Protein Kinases and Phosphatases

Proteins undergo chemical modifications that trigger changes in the charge, structure, and conformation of the proteins. Phosphorylation, acetylation, glycosylation, nitrosylation, ubiquitination, lipidation, methylation, and proteolysis are various protein modifications that regulate protein activity. Such modifications are usually enzyme-driven.
Protein kinases
Many proteins in the cell are regulated by phosphorylation, the addition of a phosphate group. A family of enzymes called kinases...

PI3K/mTOR/AKT Signaling Pathway01:22

PI3K/mTOR/AKT Signaling Pathway

The mammalian target of rapamycin  (mTOR) is a serine/threonine kinase that regulates growth, proliferation, and cell survival in response to hormones, growth factors, or nutrient availability. This kinase exists in two structurally and functionally distinct forms: mTOR complex 1  (mTORC1) and mTOR complex 2  (mTORC2). The first form (mTORC1) is composed of a rapamycin-sensitive Raptor and proline-rich Akt substrate, PRAS40. In contrast,  mTORC2 consists of a rapamycin-insensitive companion...
The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway01:20

The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway

Several cytokine receptors have tightly bound Janus kinase or JAK proteins attached at their cytosolic tail. Small signaling molecules such as cytokines, growth hormones, or prolactins bind to the cytokine receptors and initiate their dimerization. The dimerization brings the cytosolic JAKs together that trans-phosphorylate and activates each other. The activated JAKs now phosphorylate cytosolic tails of the cytokine receptors, which serve as binding sites for adaptor proteins such as  SH2...
MAPK Signaling Cascades01:07

MAPK Signaling Cascades

Mitogen-activated protein kinase, or MAPK pathway, activates three sequential kinases to regulate cellular responses such as proliferation, differentiation, survival, and apoptosis. The canonical MAPK pathway starts with a mitogen or growth factor binding to an RTK. The activated RTKs stimulate Ras, which recruits Raf or MAP3 Kinase (MAPKKK), the first kinase of the MAPK signaling cascade. Raf further phosphorylates and activates MEK or MAP2 Kinases (MAPKK), which in turn phosphorylates MAP...

Area of Science:

  • Cell Biology
  • Biochemistry
  • Membrane Biology

Background:

  • Eisosomes are plasma membrane domains involved in protein sequestration and endocytosis.
  • Pil1 is a major component of eisosomes.
  • Long-chain base (LCB) signaling pathways regulate cellular processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of LCB signaling in regulating eisosome structure and function.
  • To determine if Pil1 is a target of LCB-mediated signaling.
  • To understand how LCB signaling influences plasma membrane organization and endocytosis.

  • Enzyme inhibition (serine-palmitoyl transferase, myriocin).
  • Manipulation of Pkh-kinase activity and LCB concentrations.
  • Analysis of eisosome assembly, disassembly, and organization.

Main Results:

  • Pil1 phosphorylation state, regulated by Pkh-kinases and LCBs, controls eisosome assembly.
  • Hyperphosphorylation of Pil1 leads to eisosome disassembly.
  • Hypophosphorylation of Pil1 promotes eisosome assembly and alters their organization.
  • LCB signaling and Pkh-kinases are implicated in endocytosis.

Conclusions:

  • Pkh-kinase signaling pathway targets Pil1, modulating eisosome organization.
  • This signaling mechanism links LCBs to plasma membrane organization and endocytic events.
  • Regulation of eisosomes by Pkh-kinase signaling may be crucial for controlling endocytosis.
