“…The unique intracellular targeting of each member allows for the spatial and temporal control of the synthesis of PI(4,5)P 2 , thereby regulating specific processes, such as endocytosis, actin assembly, formation of cell-cell contacts and adhesion to the extracellular matrix Heck et al, 2007;Ling et al, 2006;Schill and Anderson, 2009a). PI(4,5)P 2 influences physiological processes by binding to proteins containing domains such as the pleckstrin-homology (PH) domain, phox-homology (PX) domain, band 4.1 ezrin radixin moesin homology (FERM) domain or the Bin/ Amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) domain to modulate their activities (Betson et al, 2002;Harlan et al, 1994;Lemmon et al, 2002;Toker, 2002;Yoon et al, 2012). In particular, PI(4,5)P 2 regulates various components of the endocytic and endosomal trafficking pathways, including epsin, AP180, dynamin, sorting nexins (SNXs), ARFs and clathrin adaptor protein complexes Martin, 2001;Schill and Anderson, 2009a;Seet and Hong, 2006).…”
