Dysfunction of hepatic insulin receptor tyrosine kinase (IRTK) causes the development of type 2 diabetes. However, the molecular mechanism regulating IRTK activity in the liver remains poorly understood. Here, we show that phosphoinositide 3-kinase enhancer A (PIKE-A) is a new insulin-dependent enhancer of hepatic IRTK. Liver-specific Pike-knockout (LPKO) mice display glucose intolerance with impaired hepatic insulin sensitivity. Specifically, insulin-provoked phosphoinositide 3-kinase/Akt signalling is diminished in the liver of LPKO mice, leading to the failure of insulin-suppressed gluconeogenesis and hyperglycaemia. Thus, hepatic PIKE-A has a key role in mediating insulin signal transduction and regulating glucose homeostasis in the liver. 相似文献

PI 3-kinase enhancer (PIKE) is a nuclear GTPase that enhances PI 3-kinase (PI3K) activity. Nerve growth factor (NGF) treatment leads to PIKE activation by triggering the nuclear translocation of PLC-gamma1, which acts as a physiological guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for PIKE. PI3K occurs in the nuclei of a broad range of cell types, and various stimuli elicit PI3K nuclear translocation. While cytoplasmic PI3K has been well characterized, little is known about the biological function of nuclear PI3K. Surprisingly, nuclei from 30 min NGF-treated PC12 cells are resistant to DNA fragmentation initiated by the activated cell-free apoptosome, and both PIKE and nuclear PI3K are sufficient and necessary for this effect. Moreover, pretreatment of the control nucleus with PI(3,4,5)P3 alone mimics the anti-apoptotic activity of NGF by selectively preventing apoptosis, for which nuclear Akt is required but not sufficient. Recently, a nuclear PI(3,4,5)P3 receptor, nucleophosmin/B23, has been identified from NGF-treated PC12 nuclear extract. PI(3,4,5)P3/B23 complex mediates the anti-apoptotic effects of NGF by inhibiting DNA fragmentation activity of caspase-activated DNase (CAD). Thus, PI(3,4,5)P3/B23 complex and nuclear Akt effectors might coordinately mediate PIKE/nuclear PI3K signaling in promoting cell survival by NGF. 相似文献

AMPAR (α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-isoxazole-4-propionic acid receptor) is an ion channel involved in the formation of synaptic plasticity. However, the molecular mechanism that couples plasticity stimuli to the trafficking of postsynaptic AMPAR remains poorly understood. Here, we show that PIKE (phosphoinositide 3-kinase enhancer) GTPases regulate neuronal AMPAR activity by promoting GluA2/GRIP1 association. PIKE-L directly interacts with both GluA2 and GRIP1 and forms a tertiary complex upon glycine-induced NMDA receptor activation. PIKE-L is also essential for glycine-induced GluA2-associated PI3K activation. Genetic ablation of PIKE (PIKE(-/-)) in neurons suppresses GluA2-associated PI3K activation, therefore inhibiting the subsequent surface expression of GluA2 and the formation of long-term potentiation. Our findings suggest that PIKE-L is a critical factor in controlling synaptic AMPAR insertion. 相似文献

PIKE (PI 3-Kinase Enhancer) is a recently identified brain specific nuclear GTPase, which binds PI 3-kinase and stimulates its lipid kinase activity. Nerve growth factor treatment leads to PIKE activation by triggering the nuclear translocation of phospholipase C-gamma1 (PLC-gamma1), which acts as a physiologic guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for PIKE through its SH3 domain. To date, three forms of PIKE have been characterized: PIKE-S, PIKE-L and PIKE-A. PIKE-S is initially identified shorter isoform. PIKE-L, a longer isoform of PIKE gene, differs from PIKE-S by C-terminal extension containing Arf-GAP (ADP ribosylation factor-GTPase Activating Protein) and two ankyrin repeats domains. In contrast to the exclusive nuclear localization of PIKE-S, PIKE-L occurs in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm. PIKE-L physiologically associates with Homer 1, an mGluR I binding adaptor protein. The Homer/PIKE-L complex couples PI 3-kinase to mGluR I and regulates a major action of group I mGluRs, prevention of neuronal apoptosis. More recently, a third PIKE isoform, PIKE-A was identified in human glioblastoma multiforme brain cancers. Unlike the brain specific PIKE-L and -S isoforms, PIKE-A distributes in various tissues. PIKE-A contains the same domains present in PIKE-L but lacks N-terminal proline-rich domain (PRD), which binds PI 3-kinase and PLC-gamma1. Instead, PIKE-A specifically binds to active Akt and upregulates its activity in a GTP-dependent manner, mediating human cancer cell invasion and preventing apoptosis. Thus, PIKE extends its roles from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, mediating cellular processes from cell invasion to programmed cell death. 相似文献

Cytoplasm-nucleus shuttling of phosphoinositol 3-kinase enhancer (PIKE) is known to correlate directly with its cellular functions. However, the molecular mechanism governing this shuttling is not known. In this work, we demonstrate that PIKE is a new member of split pleckstrin homology (PH) domain-containing proteins. The structure solved in this work reveals that the PIKE PH domain is split into halves by a positively charged nuclear localization sequence. The PIKE PH domain binds to the head groups of di- and triphosphoinositides with similar affinities. Lipid membrane binding of the PIKE PH domain is further enhanced by the positively charged nuclear localization sequence, which is juxtaposed to the phosphoinositide head group-binding pocket of the domain. We demonstrate that the cytoplasmic-nuclear shuttling of PIKE is dynamically regulated by the balancing actions of the lipid-binding property of both the split PH domain and the nuclear targeting function of its nuclear localization sequence. 相似文献

Homer proteins are commonly known as scaffold proteins at postsynaptic density. Homer 1 is a widely studied member of the Homer protein family, comprising both synaptic structure and mediating postsynaptic signaling transduction. Both an immediate-early gene encoding a Homer 1 variant and a constitutively expressed Homer 1 variant regulate receptor clustering and trafficking, intracellular calcium homeostasis, and intracellular molecule complex formation. Substantial preclinical investigations have implicated that each of these Homer 1 variants are associated with the etiology of many neurological diseases, such as pain, mental retardation syndromes, Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, drug-induced addiction, and traumatic brain injury. 相似文献

BRAG2 is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for the GTPase Arf6 that cycles between the cytoplasm and nucleus in a CRM1/exportin1-dependent manner. Despite its presence in the nucleus, nuclear functions have not previously been described. Here, we show that depletion of endogenous BRAG2 by RNAi leads to an increased number of Cajal bodies (CBs), and altered structure of nucleoli, as indicated by less focal fibrillarin staining. This result was surprising given that nuclear BRAG2 is diffusely distributed throughout the nucleoplasm and is not concentrated within nucleoli at steady state. However, we found that ectopic expression of the nuclear GTPase PIKE/AGAP2 causes both BRAG2 and the CB marker coilin to accumulate in nucleoli. Neither the GTPase activity of PIKE nor the nucleotide exchange activity of BRAG2 is required for this nucleolar concentration. Increased levels of exogenous BRAG2 in nucleoli result in a redistribution of fibrillarin to the nucleolar periphery, supporting a role for BRAG2 in regulating nucleolar architecture. These observations suggest that, in addition to its role in endocytic regulation at the plasma membrane, BRAG2 also functions within the nucleus. 相似文献

Branching morphogenesis drives the formation of epithelial organs including the mammary gland, lung, kidney, salivary gland and prostate. Branching at the cellular level also drives development of the nervous and vascular systems. A variety of signaling pathways are orchestrated together to establish the pattern of these branched organs. The phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling network is of particular interest because of the diverse outcomes it generates, including proliferation, motility, growth, survival and cell death. Here, we focus on the role of the PI3K pathway in the development of branched tissues. Cultured cells, explants and transgenic mice have revealed that the PI3K pathway is critical for the regulation of cell proliferation, apoptosis and motility during branching of tissues. 相似文献
