Abstract excerpt
PtdIns-4,5-bisphosphate is a lipid messenger of eukaryotic cells that plays a critical role in processes such as cytoskeleton organization, intracellular vesicular trafficking, secretion, cell motility, regulation of ion channels and nuclear signalling pathways. The enzymes responsible for the synthesis of PtdIns(4,5)P₂ are phosphatidylinositol phosphate kinases (PIPKs). The moss Physcomitrella patens contains...
