Phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) enzymes are a virulence factor in many Gram-positive organisms. The specific activity of the Bacillus thuringiensis PI-PLC is significantly increased by adding phosphatidylcholine (PC) to vesicles ...

Obligatory role for phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate in activation of native TRPC1 store-operated channels in vascular myocytes [PDF]
In the present study the effect of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) was studied on a native TRPC1 store-operated channel (SOC) in freshly dispersed rabbit portal vein myocytes.

Phosphatidylinositol 3-monophosphate is involved in Toxoplasma apicoplast biogenesis [PDF]
Apicomplexan parasites cause devastating diseases including malaria and toxoplasmosis. They harbour a plastid-like, non-photosynthetic organelle of algal origin, the apicoplast, which fulfils critical functions for parasite survival.

Receptor-specific regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase activation by the protein tyrosine phosphatase Shp2 [PDF]
Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) play distinct roles in multiple biological systems. Many RTKs transmit similar signals, raising questions about how specificity is achieved.

Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) is essential for the well-being of humans and other animals. People may lack GLA because of aging or diseases, and thus, dietary supplements or medical reagents containing GLA-enriched lipids are in demand.

Phosphatidylinositol(4,5)bisphosphate and Phosphatidylinositol(4)phosphate in Plant Tissues [PDF]
Pea (Pisum sativum) leaf discs or swimming suspensions of Chlamydomonas eugametos were radiolabeled with [(3)H]myo-inositol or [(32)P]Pi and the lipids were extracted, deacylated, and their glycerol moieties removed. The resulting inositol trisphosphate and bisphosphate fractions were examined by periodate degradation, reduction and dephosphorylation ...
