Abstract excerpt
Type I and type II phosphatidylinositol phosphate (PIP) kinases generate the lipid second messenger phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 4,5-bisphosphate and thus play fundamental roles in the regulation of many cellular processes. Although the two kinase families are highly homologous, they phosphorylate distinct substrates and are functionally non-redundant. Type I PIP kinases phosphorylate PtdIns 4-phosphate at the...
