Abstract excerpt
Directed cell migration involves signaling events that lead to local accumulation of PI(3,4,5)P(3), but additional pathways act in parallel. A genetic screen in Dictyostelium discoideum to identify redundant pathways revealed a gene with homology to patatin-like phospholipase A(2). Loss of this gene did not alter PI(3,4,5)P(3) regulation, but chemotaxis became sensitive to reductions in PI3K activity. Likewise,...
