AI Article Synopsis

  • Loss of OCRL leads to an increase in PtdIns(4,5)P levels on cell membranes, resulting in Lowe syndrome.
  • Mondin et al. (2019) find that PTEN and PLCXD work together to reduce the accumulation of PtdIns(4,5)P in endosomes.
  • This collaboration presents a potential compensatory mechanism that may offer insights into treatment strategies for conditions like Lowe syndrome.

Article Abstract

Loss of the phosphoinositide 5-phosphatase OCRL causes accumulation of PtdIns(4,5)P on membranes and, ultimately, Lowe syndrome. In this issue, Mondin et al. (2019. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201805155) discover that a surprising partnership between PTEN and the phospholipase PLCXD can compensate for OCRL to suppress endosomal PtdIns(4,5)P accumulation.
