The function of inwardly rectifying K+ (Kir) channels is highly diverse and therefore is tightly regulated by various environmental factors. In their article in this issue of Neuron, Rapedius et al. recognize a conserved structural mechanism for Kir channels gating by both pH and PIP2.

Nir1 constitutively localizes at ER–PM junctions and promotes Nir2 recruitment for PIP2 homeostasis
Homeostatic regulation of plasma membrane (PM) phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) in receptor-stimulated cells is mediated by the lipid transfer protein Nir2.

Significance The SK4 K+ channel is a member of the family of Ca2+-activated K+ channels exclusively activated by calcified calmodulin (CaM) and is expressed in immune cells, brain, and heart. Here, we show that phosphatidylinositol 4-5 bisphosphate (PIP2)

Inhibition of the proton-activated chloride channel PAC by PIP2
Proton-Activated Chloride (PAC) channel is a ubiquitously expressed pH-sensing ion channel that regulates endosomal acidification and macropinosome shrinkage by releasing chloride from the organelle lumens.

Insights into Activation Mechanisms of Store-Operated TRPC1 Channels in Vascular Smooth Muscle. [PDF]
In vascular smooth muscle cells (VMSCs), the stimulation of store-operated channels (SOCs) mediate Ca2+ influx pathways which regulate important cellular functions including contraction, proliferation, migration, and growth that are associated with the ...

Divalent Cation-Induced PIP2 Clustering in Cholesterol-Containing Membranes: How PIP2 Lateral Distribution affects PIP2-Gelsolin Interaction [PDF]
Phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) is involved in many important cellular events, but the mechanism by which this relatively rare lipid selectively regulates specific proteins is unclear. While many proteins bind to PIP2 with similar affinities in vitro, only a small subset interact with PIP2 at specific sites during specific cellular ...

High-voltage-activated Ca2+ (CaV) channels that adjust Ca2+ influx upon membrane depolarization are differentially regulated by phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) in an auxiliary CaV β subunit-dependent manner.

TULP4, a novel E3 ligase gene, participates in neuronal migration as a candidate in schizophrenia
Mutations identified from four SCZ pedigrees resulted in decreased TULP4 expression. Tulp4 knockdown caused delayed neuron migration in embryonic mice, and impaired cognition and prepulse inhibition in adult mice. These phenotypes may be related to TULP4 through its involvement in the formation of a novel E3 ubiquitin ligases.
