General description

Although PI(4,5)P2 is a minor component of cell membranes, it plays a critical role as a substrate for a number of important signaling proteins. PI(4,5)P2 is an intermediate in the IP3/DAG pathway where it is hydrolyzed by phospholipase C to liberate the second messengers, inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG). PI(4,5)P2 is also a substrate for PI 3-kinase where it is phosphorylated to PI(3,4,5)P3, an activator of downstream signaling components such as the protein kinase AKT.
Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) is synthesized from the precursor phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate(PI4P). PIP2 is a phosphoinositide with three negative charges.

Application

Brain PI(4,5)P2 has been used:
  • in the preparation of Folch liposome
  • in the preparation of giant unilamellar vesicles and multilamellar lipid sheets
  • as a substrate for rubidium flux assay
  • in the biochemical reaction assay mixture for various lipid kinases like Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase gamma (PI3Kγ), Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase beta (PI3Kβ), Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase gamma (PI3Kα)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) is a signaling phospholipid, present in the plasma membrane. It acts as a precursor for inositide 3 phosphate, diacylglycerol. PIP2 is a gating ligand for most of the ion channels. It functions as an activatory ligand for eukaryotic inward rectifier potassium (Kir) channels.

In the heart, reliable activation of Ca(2+) release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum during the plateau of the ventricular action potential requires synchronous opening of multiple CaV1.2 channels. Yet the mechanisms that coordinate this simultaneous opening during every heartbeat are unclear.
