- Summary
- Phosphorylated derivatives of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) regulate cytoskeletal functions, membrane trafficking, and receptor signaling by recruiting protein complexes to cell- and endosomal-membranes. Humans have multiple PtdIns proteins that differ by the degree and position of phosphorylation of the inositol ring. This gene encodes an enzyme (PIKfyve; also known as phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate 5-kinase type III or PIPKIII) that phosphorylates the D-5 position in PtdIns and phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PtdIns3P) to make PtdIns5P and PtdIns(3,5)biphosphate. The D-5 position also can be phosphorylated by type I PtdIns4P-5-kinases (PIP5Ks) that are encoded by distinct genes and preferentially phosphorylate D-4 phosphorylated PtdIns. In contrast, PIKfyve preferentially phosphorylates D-3 phosphorylated PtdIns. In addition to being a lipid kinase, PIKfyve also has protein kinase activity. PIKfyve regulates endomembrane homeostasis and plays a role in the biogenesis of endosome carrier vesicles from early endosomes. Mutations in this gene cause corneal fleck dystrophy (CFD); an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by numerous small white flecks present in all layers of the corneal stroma. Histologically, these flecks appear to be keratocytes distended with lipid and mucopolysaccharide filled intracytoplasmic vacuoles. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

While
the Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) plays a central role in Alzheimer's
disease, its cellular function still remains largely unclear. It was
our goal to establish APP function which will provide insights into
APP's implication in Alzheimer's disease. Using our recently developed
proteo-liposome assay we established the interactome of APP's
intracellular domain (known as AICD), thereby identifying novel APP
interactors that provide mechanistic insights into APP function. By
combining biochemical, cell biological and genetic approaches we
validated the functional significance of one of these novel interactors.
Here we show that APP binds the PIKfyve complex, an essential kinase
for the synthesis of the endosomal phosphoinositide
phosphatidylinositol-3,5-bisphosphate. This signalling lipid plays a
crucial role in endosomal homeostasis and receptor sorting. Loss of
PIKfyve function by mutation causes profound neurodegeneration in
mammals. Using C. elegans genetics we demonstrate that APP functionally
cooperates with PIKfyve in vivo. This regulation is required for
maintaining endosomal and neuronal function. Our findings establish an
unexpected role for APP in the regulation of endosomal phosphoinositide
metabolism with dramatic consequences for endosomal biology and
important implications for our understanding of Alzheimer's disease.
