The coincidence biosensor tubbyCT reveals local phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate synthesis at endoplasmic reticulum-plasma membrane junctions [PDF]
Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) plays a prominent role in plasma membrane (PM) physiology. It is implicated in the regulation of a variety of cellular functions including exo- and endocytosis, cytoskeleton anchorage, and ion channel ...

Transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels are Ca2+-permeable, nonselective cation channels that carry receptor-operated Ca2+ currents (ROCs) triggered by receptor-induced, phospholipase C (PLC)-catalyzed hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4 ...

Competitive Interactions of PIRT and PI(4,5)P2 Modulate TRPM8 [PDF]
PIRT or Phosphoinositide regulator of TRP is a small membrane protein that has been shown to modulate the function of TRP channels. PIRT is implicated in fine-tuning the physiological roles that TRP channels play in thermosensing and ligand activation; suggesting roles for PIRT:TRP complexes in pathophysiologies such as pruritus and chronic pain. In an

Anionic lipids activate group IVA cytosolic phospholipase A2 via distinct and separate mechanisms
Previously, ceramide-1-phosphate (C1P) and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] were demonstrated to be potent and specific activators of group IVA cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2α). In this study, we hypothesized that these anionic lipids

The roles of lipids and nucleic acids in HIV-1 assembly [PDF]
During HIV-1 assembly, precursor Gag (PrGag) proteins are delivered to plasma membrane (PM) assembly sites, where they are triggered to oligomerize and bud from cells as immature virus particles.

Competitive PIRT and PI(4,5)P2 Interactions Modulate TRPM8 [PDF]
Phosphoinositide regulator of TRP (PIRT) is a small human membrane protein that has been shown to modulate the function of specific TRP channels. PIRT has been implicated in fine-tuning the roles that TRP channels play in thermosensing, ligand activation, and pruritus.
