Role of Phosphatidylinositol(4,5)bisphosphate Organization in Membrane Transport by the Unc104 Kinesin Motor

Abstract: Unc104 (KIF1A) kinesin transports membrane vesicles along microtubules in lower and higher eukaryotes. Using an in vitro motility assay, we show that Unc104 uses a lipid binding pleckstrin homology (PH) domain to dock onto membrane cargo. Through its PH domain, Unc104 can transport phosphatidylinositol(4,5)bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2)-containing liposomes with similar properties to native vesicles. Interestingly, liposome movement by monomeric Unc104 motors shows a very steep dependence on PtdIns(4,5)P2 concen… Show more

“…2C). In addition, KIF21A may recognize its cargo by interacting with acidic phospholipids in a manner that is similar to the mechanism reported for Unc104 (31). Moreover, interaction of eEF1A1 with acidic phospholipids is intriguing given its proposed function in local translation (32).…”

“…Thus PtdIns(4)P functions in maintaining Golgi structure both directly and through conversion to PtdIns(4,5)P 2 , probably by recruiting cytoskeleton to Golgi membranes and by maintaining the flux of membrane moving through the organelle. One explanation for why PtdIns(4,5)P 2 levels might be relatively low on Golgi membranes is that the 5-phosphatase OCRL on that organelle (87) might rapidly convert Golgi PtdIns(4,5)P 2 back to PtdIns(4)P. Another possibility is the remarkable observation that a kinesin, unc104/KIF1A, binds preferentially to vesicles containing PtdIns(4,5)P 2 (185). The ability of unc104/KIF1A to move vesicles is sharply dependent on the concentration of PtdIns(4,5)P 2 , and if that lipid is generated at the site of vesicle budding to recruit and activate a motor, PtdIns(4,5)P 2 might be rapidly exported with the vesicle, keeping the pool of free PtdIns(4,5)P 2 on the Golgi low.…”

The concentration of PtdIns(4,5)P 2 required to activate the motor is lowered when raft-forming lipids are added to the vesicles (185). This suggests that raft lipids, cholesterol and glycospingolipids, may serve to concentrate PtdIns(4,5)P 2 and enhance binding of the vesicle to the motor.…”

“…Injection of beads coated with only one type of protein into the axon allowed us to test directly whether any protein on its own was sufficient for transport independent of other organelle motor receptors. These studies do not address whether APP is necessary for cargo transport, which is unlikely because there may be many ways for cargo to recruit motors, including binding to lipids (19).…”
