Phosphoinositides and Photoreceptors [PDF]
The importance of phosphoinositides (phosphorylated phosphatidyl inositol derivatives, PIs) for normal cellular function cannot be overstated. Although they represent a small fraction of the total phospholipid within the cell, they are essential regulators of many cellular functions.

Phosphoinositides in New Spaces
Phosphoinositides (PIs) are phospholipids derived from phosphatidylinositol. PIs are regulated via reversible phosphorylation, which is directed by the opposing actions of PI kinases and phosphatases. PIs constitute a minor fraction of the total cellular lipid pool but play pleiotropic roles in multiple aspects of cell biology.

Tipping the scales:Lessons from simple model systems on inositol imbalance in neurological disorders [PDF]
Inositol and inositol-containing compounds have signalling and regulatory roles in many cellular processes, suggesting that inositol imbalance may lead to wide-ranging changes in cellular functions.

Phosphatidylinositolphosphate phosphatase activities and cancer
Signaling through the phosphoinositide 3-kinase pathways mediates the actions of a plethora of hormones, growth factors, cytokines, and neurotransmitters upon their target cells following receptor occupation.

Phosphoinositide-signaling is one component of a robust plant defense response.
The phosphoinositide pathway and inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate (InsP3) have been implicated in plant responses to many abiotic stresses; however, their role in response to biotic stress is not well characterized.

Changes in membrane lipids drive increased endocytosis following Fas ligation [PDF]
Once activated, some surface receptors promote membrane movements that open new portals of endocytosis, in part to facilitate the internalization of their activated complexes.

Taurine may alleviate the inflammatory injury induced by Streptococcus uberis (S. uberis) infection by regulating intracellular Ca2+ levels. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Infection leads to subversion of phosphoinositides (PIs) which

Structure of the full-length TRPV2 channel by cryo-EM. [PDF]
Transient receptor potential (TRP) proteins form a superfamily Ca(2+)-permeable cation channels regulated by a range of chemical and physical stimuli. Structural analysis of a 'minimal' TRP vanilloid subtype 1 (TRPV1) elucidated a mechanism of channel ...

Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

Editorial: Phosphoinositides and their phosphatases: Linking electrical and chemical signals in biological processes [PDF]
The voltage-sensing phosphatase (VSP) has changed the way we think about both cellular electrical activity and PIPs (phosphatidylinositol phosphates). Originally discovered in 1999 (Chen et al., 1999), these proteins were not recognized as electrically ...
