Phosphoinositide binding domains: embracing 3-phosphate
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to better understand the structures of phosphoinosite-binding proteins and to explain how these cellular proteins select the products of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (P13K) and phosphatidylinositol (Ptdlns)-3,4,5-P3 over other abundant phosphoinositides such as Ptdlns-3P and Ptdlns-3,4-P2. Results suggest that the crystal and solution structure of FYVE domains of phosphoinositides induces the P13K selection while the selection of products of Ptdlns-3,4,5-P3 is triggered by the crystal structure of the pleckstrin domain.

Phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)P(sub 3) interacts with SH2 domains and modulates PI 3-kinase association with tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins
Article Abstract:
Phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)P(sub 3) (PtdIns(3,4,5)P(sub 3)) binds to the Src homology 2 domains of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase). This binding prevents the interaction of PI 3-kinase with tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins. Suppressing the formation of PtdIns(3,4,5,)P(sub 3) increases PI 3-kinase binding to phosphorylated proteins. PtdIns(3,4,5,)P(sub 3) also binds to pp60(super c-src).

Signal transduction and membrane traffic: the PITP/phosphoinositide connection
Article Abstract:
The phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) transfer protein/phosphoinositide (PITP) hypothesis suggests that Golgi membranes maintain proper PtdIns/PtdCho balance via the CDP-choline pathway. PITP is suggested to be influence polyphosphoinositide synthesis and phosphoinositide kinases, two substrates that play major roles in membrane transport by influencing the proteins that regulate vesicular traffic.
