MapPIng PI inside cells brings new light to polyphosphoinositide biology

Abstract: It is unclear how phosphatidylinositol (PI), the precursor of polyphosphoinositides, is distributed within cell membranes. Pemberton et al. (2020. J. Cell. Biol.https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201906130) and Zewe et al. (2020. J. Cell. Biol.https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201906127) describe new approaches to map the subcellular PI abundance and clarify how polyphosphoinositide metabolism relates to PI distribution.

“…Moreover, in crude membrane fractions from liver, brain and yeast, the latter was clearly the most thermostabilizing and is the only crude lipid fraction with a high PI content. Interestingly, PI lipids are highly enriched in intracellular organelles 48 , which is the preferential localization of NHA2. However, given that NHA2 can also localize to the plasma membrane of specialized cells 8 , it is currently unclear whether PIP 2 can play a similar role to PI in these membranes.…”

“…Conceivably, major anionic PLs of the PM (comprised of ~ 20% PI, 10% PS and 1% PI 4 P + PI 4,5 P 2 in yeast 31,45 ) are in much higher abundance than VAPs, which makes the extent of ER-PM contacts dependent on VAP dosage. We believe that such tethering mechanism should not be merely limited to S. pombe or to ER-PM contacts, as binding of PI and PI 4 P appears to be conserved in VAP family and other organelles may also contain adequate levels of PI and/or PI 4 P in cytosolic leaflets 30,46 . Thus, much lower PI content in the mammalian PM as compared to that of yeasts 30,47,48 and non-conserved PS-binding ability of VAPs may partially explain different scales of ER-PM association in these cell types.…”
