“…The extension of PI(3,4,5)P3 patches, which can reach a diameter of several micrometers, reflects the balanced activity of PI3Ks and the lipid phosphatase, phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), which dephosphorylates PI(3,4,5)P3 back to PI(4,5)P2. The kinetics of PI(4,5)P2 and PI(3,4,5)P3 are mechanistically linked to actin-remodeling during macropinocytosis ( Araki et al, 1996 , 2007 ; Worby and Dixon, 2014 ; Swanson and Yoshida, 2019 ; Nussinov et al, 2020 ) and to the regulation of many ion channels and transporters relevant to pinocytosis as well as CVR ( Araki et al, 1996 ; Lang et al, 1998 ; Ritter et al, 2001 ; Furst et al, 2002 ; Jakab et al, 2002 ; Okada, 2004 ; Lang, 2007 ; Suh and Hille, 2008 ; Hoffmann et al, 2009 ; Abu Jawdeh et al, 2011 ; Lang and Hoffmann, 2012 ; Balla, 2013 ; Hansen, 2015 ; Hille et al, 2015 ; Kunzelmann, 2015 ; Jentsch, 2016 ; Pasantes-Morales, 2016 ; De Los Heros et al, 2018 ; Delpire and Gagnon, 2018 ; Konig et al, 2019 ; Okada et al, 2019 ; Centeio et al, 2020 ; Larsen and Hoffmann, 2020 ; Model et al, 2020 ). For cup closure, the progressive dephosphorylation of PI(3,4,5)P3 seems to be important.…”
