Unraveling Phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase function in the yeast Golgi-endosomal system

Demmel, Lars 13 September 2005 (has links)
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, experiments with temperature-sensitive mutants of the PI4-kinase Pik1p revealed that the PI4P pool generated by this enzyme is essential for Golgi morphology and normal secretory function and that the PI4P pool at the Golgi represents a regulatory signal on its own. In order to function as a spatial and temporal regulator of membrane traffic, PI4P synthesis and turnover must be tightly regulated. It remains elusive which factors are involved in the targeting and regulation of Pik1p. Little is also known about PI4P binding proteins mediating the effects of this phosphoinositide on Golgi function. Since it has been shown that multiple pathways leave the Golgi towards the plasma membrane one can ask the question whether Pik1p and its product PI4P specifically control one pathway? Here we demonstrate an interaction of Pik1p with the 14-3-3 proteins Bmh1p and Bmh2p. Interestingly, overexpression of Bmh1p and Bmh2p results in multiple genetic interactions with genes involved in late steps of exocytosis and it affects the forward transport of the general amino acid permease Gap1p. The detected interaction depends on the phosphorylation state of Pik1p and Pik1p phosphorylation accompanies its shuttling out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm where presumably the binding to Bmh1/2p occurs. Therefore, we reason that these interactions might serve the sequestration of Pik1p away from the Golgi. This study reveals that Pik1p shows a strong effect on the delivery of Gap1p to the surface whereas the transport of exocytosis markers implicated in the direct Golgi-to-plasma membrane pathway are not significantly disturbed. Cells carrying a deletion of gga2 also show a strong defect in delivery of Gap1p to the surface. In addition, pik1-101 gga2[delta]double mutants display synthetic genetic and membrane transport phenotypes and recruitment of Gga2 to the TGN partially depends on functional Pik1p. Therefore, our results suggest a role of Pik1p in the TGN to endosome pathway.
