(ENGLISH) Phosphoinositides (PIs) are negatively charged glycerol-based phospholipids with inositol head (ring) which can be phosphorylated. Inositol ring phosphorylation yields in seven different PIs species which can be mono-, bis,- or tris-phosphorylated. Roles of cytoplasmic PIs have been extensively studied in for membrane and cytoskeletal dynamics, vesicular trafficking, ion channels and transporters and generating of second messengers. Nuclear PIs have been implicated in posttranscriptional processing of pre-mRNA, DNA transcription and chromatin remodelling. While cytoplasmic functions are very well described, the molecular mechanism of their nuclear functions are still poorly understood. In this study we focus on description of localization of nuclear PIs in particular functional nuclear compartments, which enable us to reveal PIs involvement in nuclear processes. We also focused on identification of nuclear PIs involved in the regulation of genes transcription and revealed detailed mechanism of PI(4,5)P2 a PHF8 interaction in the regulation of ribosomal genes transcription. By two independent approaches, we have described PIs localization to the nuclear membrane, nuclear speckles, small foci in the nucleoplasm, and the nucleolus. This spread nuclear localization suggests and confirms PI's...
