Ion channel regulation by phosphoinositides analyzed with VSPs – PI(4,5)P2 affinity, phosphoinositide selectivity, and PI(4,5)P2 pool accessibility [PDF]
The activity of many proteins depends on the phosphoinositide (PI) content of the membrane. E.g., dynamic changes of the concentration of PI(4,5)P2 are cellular signals that regulate ion channels.

RASSF4: Regulator of plasma membrane PI(4,5)P2. [PDF]
Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) is a negatively charged phospholipid that plays a major role in recruiting and regulating proteins at the plasma membrane-cytosol interface. In this issue, Chen et al. (2017. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/

TPTE, a testis-specific PTEN family member, drives spermatogenesis via PI(4,5)P2 synthesis [PDF]
Phosphatidylinositol(4,5) bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) is the most abundant phosphoinositides species and plays regulatory roles in spermatogenesis. However, the role of the phosphatases that regulate the production of PI(4,5)P2 during spermatogenesis has ...

Plasma membrane transbilayer asymmetry of PI(4,5)P2 drives unconventional secretion of Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 [PDF]
Unconventional secretion of Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 (FGF2) is mediated by direct translocation across the plasma membrane. This process is initiated by PI(4,5)P2-dependent FGF2 oligomerization at the inner plasma membrane leaflet.

The plasma membrane inner leaflet PI(4,5)P2 is essential for the activation of proton-activated chloride channels [PDF]
Proton-activated chloride (PAC) channels, ubiquitously expressed in tissues, regulate intracellular Cl- levels and cell death following acidosis. However, molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways involved in PAC channel modulation are largely unknown.

PI(4,5)P2: signaling the plasma membrane. [PDF]
In the almost 70 years since the first hints of its existence, the phosphoinositide, phosphatidyl-D-myo-inositol 4,5-bisphosphate has been found to be central in the biological regulation of plasma membrane (PM) function. Here, we provide an overview of the signaling, transport and structural roles the lipid plays at the cell surface in animal cells ...

Allosteric enhancement of ORP1-mediated cholesterol transport by PI(4,5)P2/PI(3,4)P2 [PDF]
Phosphatidylinositol phosphates (PIPs) and cholesterol are known to regulate the function of late endosomes and lysosomes (LELs). Here authors unveil a mechanism by which PI(4,5)P2/PI(3,4)P2 allosterically enhances ORP1-mediated cholesterol exit from ...

PI(4,5)P2 regulates the gating of NaV1.4 channels. [PDF]
Voltage-gated sodium (NaV) channels are densely expressed in most excitable cells and activate in response to depolarization, causing a rapid influx of Na+ ions that initiates the action potential. The voltage-dependent activation of NaV channels is followed almost instantaneously by fast inactivation, setting the refractory period of excitable tissues.
