Abstract excerpt
The phospholipid phosphatase FIG4/Fig4 is a subunit of PIKFYVE/Pikfyve kinase complex that synthesizes phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate (PI(3,5)P2), a key regulator of endolysosomal trafficking and function. Loss of FIG4/Fig4 leads to intracellular deficiency of PI(3,5)P2 signaling and multiple endolysosomal defects. Previous works were focused on the effects of FIG4/Fig4 mutations in the nervous and...
