Actin filament assembly by myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate-phosphatidylinositol-4,5-diphosphate signaling is critical for dendrite branching. [PDF]
Dendrites undergo extensive growth and branching at early stages, but relatively little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying these processes. Here, we show that increasing the level of myristoylated, alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS), a prominent substrate of protein kinase C and a phosphatidylinositol-4,5-diphosphate [PI(4,5)P2 ...

The activation of protein kinase C by the polyphosphoinositides phosphatidylinositol 4,5‐diphosphate and phosphatidylinositol 4‐monophosphate [PDF]
Protein kinase C(PKC) is a Ca2+‐ and phospholipid‐dependent protein kinase which can be activated by diacylglycerol, a product of polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis. In this report, we show that the polyphosphoinositides L‐α‐phosphatidylinositol 4‐monophosphate (PI 4P) and L‐α‐phosphatidylinositol 4,5‐diphosphate (PI 4,5DP) can serve as phospholipid ...

Phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate turnover by INP51 regulates the cell wall integrity pathway in "Saccharomyces cerevisiae" [PDF]
Signal transduction pathways are important for the cell to transduce external or internal stimuli where second messengers play an important role as mediators of the stimuli. One important group of second messengers are the phosphoinositide family present

Localization of the ATP/Phosphatidylinositol 4,5 Diphosphate-binding Site to a 39-Amino Acid Region of the Carboxyl Terminus of the ATP-regulated K+ Channel Kir1.1 [PDF]
Intracellular ATP and membrane-associated phosphatidylinositol phospholipids, like PIP(2) (PI(4,5)P(2)), regulate the activity of ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) and Kir1.1 channels by direct interaction with the pore-forming subunits of these channels. We previously demonstrated direct binding of TNP-ATP (2',3'-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenylcyclo-hexadienylidene)

Do anionic phospholipids serve as cofactors or second messengers for the regulation of activity of cloned ATP-sensitive K+ channels? [PDF]
The regulation of ion channels by anionic phospholipids is currently very topical. An outstanding issue is whether phosphatidylinositol 4,5-diphosphate and related species act as true second messengers in signaling or behave in a manner analogous to an ...

The metabolism of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) was studied in a mink lung epithelial cell line and its subclones transformed by feline sarcoma viruses containing either the v-fms or v-fes oncogenes. The transformed cell lines had a higher rate of PtdIns turnover but did not have elevated levels of phosphorylated PtdIns species or PtdIns kinase ...
