Phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase Iγ (PIP5KIγ) is subject to extensive C-terminal splice variation, with four variants, PIP5KIγ_v1, 2, 4 and 5, described in humans Schill and Anderson (2009) [7]. Here firstly, we report a new rodent splice variant, which includes the exon that was previously unique to the rodent neuron-specific PIP5KIγ93 Giudici et al. (2006) [6], but which omits the C-terminal exon of PIP5KIγ93; this new variant shows a wide tissue expression pattern in mouse. Secondly, we show that in humans there is an alternative splicing site 78 nucleotides from the start of exon 16c, such that humans additionally express both PIP5KIγ93 (which we now call PIP5KIγ_v3) specifically in brain and, again expressed more widely, the new variant described here, which we now name PIP5KIγ_v6.

Microplastic (MP) represent a pervasive and escalating threat to aquatic ecosystems, impacting organisms from cellular to population levels. To investigate the immediate molecular impacts of MP exposure, we exposed Daphnia magna, a keystone species in freshwater ecosystems, to polystyrene microplastic particles (5 μm, 5 μg/L) for 48 h. Through proteomic and biochemical analyses, we identified extensive disruptions in key physiological pathways.

Our previous work reported the role of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphates (PIP) signaling in the actin-dependent pathogenicity of . This study further demonstrated that iron transiently regulated phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase (PI4P5K) proteostasis and its complex formation with an active ADP ribosylation factor Arf220, facilitating co-trafficking to the plasma membrane, crucial for PIP production.

Article Synopsis
- TOR kinases are crucial for nutrient signaling and cell growth, organized into TORC1 and TORC2 complexes.
- In budding yeast, TORC2 is particularly important for regulating growth rate and cell size, but how it functions is not fully understood.
- Researchers discovered that the kinases Yck1 and Yck2 significantly impact the phosphorylation and localization of Mss4, a key player in TORC2 signaling, but their inhibition has minor effects on well-characterized pathways, indicating a potential role in less defined TORC2 functions.

Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) are specialized proteins that convey specific lipids across the cytosol to regulate the lipid composition of organelles and the plasma membrane. Quantifying to which extent these LTPs recognize and transfer various lipid species and subspecies is of prime interest to define their cellular role(s). Here, we describe how to measure in vitro the relative affinity of Osh6p, a yeast phosphatidylserine (PS)/phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI(4)P) exchanger belonging to the oxysterol-binding protein(OSBP)-related protein (ORP) family, for PS and phosphoinositide subspecies.

Oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP)-related proteins (ORPs) are a large family of lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) in mammals. ORPs mediate the countertransport of two distinct lipids at membrane contact sites (MCSs). ORP10 is localized via binding to ORP9 at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-endosome MCSs, where it mediates countertransport of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) and phosphatidylserine (PS).
