Mar 17, 2000 · PIP3 is the effector of multiple downstream targets of the phosphoinositide 3 kinase (PI3K) pathway (Rameh and Cantley, 1999); PIP2 is the precursor of the mediators diacylglycerol and inositol(1,4,5)P3 following its hydrolysis by hormone-sensitive phospholipase C (PLC) enzymes.

Phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-trisphosphate (PtdIns (3,4,5)P3), abbreviated PIP3, is the product of the class I phosphoinositide 3-kinases ' (PI 3-kinases) phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate (PIP 2). It is a phospholipid that resides on the plasma membrane.

Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate or PtdIns (4,5)P2, also known simply as PIP2 or PI (4,5)P2, is a minor phospholipid component of cell membranes. PtdIns (4,5) P2 is enriched at the plasma membrane where it is a substrate for a number of important signaling proteins. [1] . PIP2 also forms lipid clusters [2] that sort proteins. [3][4][5]

PIP 2 and PIP 3 are constituents of plasma membrane and their precisely regulated abundance changes in response to cell intrinsic and/or extrinsic stimuli. The PIP 2 is primarily formed as a result of sequential phosphorylations at position 4 and position 5 hydroxyl residues of PI by PI 4-kinase (PI4K), and PI phosphate kinase (PIPK), respectively.

Recent advances in analyzing the spatial and temporal dynamics of lipid production have yielded important clues to how cells actually use PI (4,5)P 2 and PI (3,4,5)P 3 to orchestrate actin polymerization and cell motility.

Any perturbations to the balance between PIP 2 and PIP 3 signaling result in neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders. This review will discuss the upstream modulators and downstream effectors of the PIP 2 and PIP 3 signaling, in …

2 days ago · The PIP2/PIP3-dependent slowdown of β1 tail diffusion on the membrane is the consequence of kindlin and talin binding to the phosphoinositides in lipid membranes via their PH and FERM domains, respectively (22–25). While it has been identified that kindlin prefers to bind PIP3 (23, 24) and talin binds to PIP2 (22, 25), we perform co ...

The inositol lipids PI (4,5)P (2) and PI (3,4,5)P (3) are important regulators of actin polymerization, but their different temporal and spatial dynamics suggest that they perform separate roles. PI (3,4,5)P (3) seems to act as an instructive second messenger, inducing local actin polymerization.

PIP2 along with the phosphoinositol products of PI3K are key regulators of cell surface membrane function. PIP2 has the hallmarks of a true signaling molecule-its levels are upregulated or downregulated by hormons and it serves as an effector of multiple downstream proteins.
