A phosphoinositide 3-kinase/phospholipase Cgamma1 pathway regulates fibroblast growth factor-induced capillary tube formation.

PLoS ONE, 2009
BackgroundThe fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are key regulators of embryonic development, tissue homeostasis and tumour angiogenesis. Binding of FGFs to their receptor(s) results in activation of several intracellular signalling cascades including ...

A New Vista of Opportunity in Diabetes Management: Natural Product‐Based β‐cell Preservation

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Preserving functional β‐cells via natural products offers promising strategy for diabetes treatment. ABSTRACT A defining characteristic of diabetes is β‐cell failure, in which β‐cells cannot modulate insulin secretion to compensate for escalating insulin resistance, pushing forward disease development.

EFR3A, an Intriguing Gene, and Protein with a Scaffolding Function

Cells
The EFR3 (Eighty-Five Requiring 3) protein and its homologs are rather poorly understood eukaryotic plasma membrane peripheral proteins. They belong to the armadillo-like family of superhelical proteins.

Characterization of the Inositol Monophosphatase Gene Family in Arabidopsis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Synthesis of myo-inositol is crucial in multicellular eukaryotes for production of phosphatidylinositol and inositol phosphate signaling molecules. The myo-inositol monophosphatase (IMP) enzyme is required for the synthesis of myo-inositol, breakdown of

Generation of inositol polyphosphates through a phospholipase C-independent pathway involving carbohydrate and sphingolipid metabolism in Trypanosoma cruzi

mBio
Inositol phosphates are involved in a myriad of biological roles and activities such as Ca2+ signaling, phosphate homeostasis, energy metabolism, and disease pathogenicity.

A phosphoinositide map at the shoot apical meristem in Arabidopsis thaliana

BMC Biology, 2018
Background In plants, the shoot apical meristem (SAM) has two main functions, involving the production of all aerial organs on the one hand and self-maintenance on the other, allowing the production of organs during the entire post-embryonic life of the ...

The plant microbiome: From ecological foundations to precision microbial engineering for sustainable agriculture

iMeta, EarlyView.
From ecological principles to precision engineering of plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture. The plant holobiont integrates diverse microbial niches (including rhizosphere, endosphere, phyllosphere, seed, and aerial‐root mucilagesphere), host genetics (namely M genes), and host metabolites. Furthermore, molecular dialogues, including rhizobial

Activation of Phosphatidylinositol Kinase and Phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate Kinase by cAMP in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1989
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, cAMP-dependent phosphorylation plays an essential role at the start of the cell cycle. It has also recently been demonstrated that the breakdown of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and diacylglycerol is a requisite process for cell proliferation (Uno, I., Fukami, K., Kato, H., Takenawa ...

Microbial metabolite indole‐3‐propionic acid preserves astrocytic mitochondrial mitofusin 2 to limit neuroinflammation after traumatic brain injury

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Following traumatic brain injury, indole‐3‐propionic acid (IPA) directly targets the aryl hydrocarbon receptor on astrocytes in the peri‐lesional cortex; this suppresses interferon regulatory factor 1‐driven transcription of the E3 ubiquitin ligase RFFL (ring finger and FYVE‐like domain containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase).

The role of phosphatidylinositol 4-kinases and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate during viral replication

Biochemical Pharmacology, 2012
Phosphoinositides (PI) are phospholipids that mediate signaling cascades in the cell by binding to effector proteins. Reversible phosphorylation of the inositol ring at positions 3, 4 and 5 results in the synthesis of seven different phosphoinositides.
