Phosphatidylinositol Phosphate Metabolism

Caenorhabditis elegans
Phosphatidylinositol phosphates, or phosphoinositides, are intracellular signaling lipids. Seven different phosphoinositides have been identified in mammals, each distinguished by the number and/or position of the phosphate groups on the inositol ring. The inositol can be mono-, di-, or triphosphorylated, with the remaining phosphoinositides being isomers of these three forms. Phosphoinositides regulate a variety of signal transduction processes, thus playing a number of important roles in the cell, such as actin cytoskeletal reorganization, membrane transport, and cell proliferation. They may also affect protein localization, aggregation, and activity by acting as secondary messengers. The ability of the cell to recognize the different types of phosphoinositides as different cellular signals means that their synthesis and metabolism must be tightly regulated. Synthesis begins with the attachment of an inositol phosphate head group to diacylglycerol via a phospholipase C enzyme, creating a phosphoinositide. Conversion between the different types of phosphoinositides is then done by a number of specific phosphoinositide kinases and phosphatases, which add (kinase) and remove (phosphatase) phosphates from the inositol ring. The specific localization and regulation of the phosphoinositide kinases and phosphatases thus controls the activity of the phosphoinositides. While the phosphoinositides are always located in the membrane, their particular kinases and phosphatases may be found in the cytoplasm or in the membrane of the cell or cell organelles.

Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase Deficiency 1 (PEPCK1)

Rattus norvegicus
Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase Deficiency 1 (PEPCK1), also called Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase-1 (PCK1) deficiency, Phosphopyruvate carboxylase deficiency, Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase deficiency, Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase deficiency, or PEP carboxykinase deficiency, is a rare inborn error of metabolism (IEM) and an autosomal recessive disorder of gluconeogenesis caused by a deficient PEPCK1 enzyme. PEPCK1 catalyzes the conversion of amino acids into sugars, mainly glucose, which is important in preventing hypoglycemia. This disorder is characterized by a large accumulation of lactic acid in the blood. Symptoms of the disorder include hepatomegaly, failure to thrive and liver failure, depending on the severity of the case. Treatment including heavy carbohydrates and fasting is very effective. It is estimated that Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase Deficiency 1 has only affected 10 individuals around the world according to medical literature.

Phospholipase C Signaling Pathway

Homo sapiens
Calcium signaling is a process whereby the extremely low cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration increases in a deliberate and specific manner to trigger downstream cellular events. Phospholipase C can produce (or modulate), directly, three distinct signals: inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), diacylglycerol, and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2).

Phospholipase C Signaling Pathway

Bos taurus
Phospholipase C pathways is one of the major intracellular signalling pathways regulating hormones. It functions to activate inositol lipid signalling pathways causing the hydrolysis of PIP2 by PLC to IP3 and diacylglycerol to activate protein kinase C. IP3 releases calcium from the endoplasmic reticulum. PIP3 is an important regulator of AKT signaling and downstream pathways.
