The Chemical Biology of Phosphoinositide 3‐Kinases

Abstract: Since its discovery in the late 1980s, phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), and its isoforms have arguably reached the forefront of signal transduction research. Regulation of this lipid kinase, its functions, its effectors, in short its entire signaling network, has been extensively studied. PI3K inhibitors are frequently used in biochemistry and cell biology. In addition, many pharmaceutical companies have launched drug-discovery programs to identify modulators of PI3Ks. Despite these efforts and a fairly good … Show more

“…One note of caution when using these lipids is that they could in principle insert into all lipid bilayers and may thus not faithfully reproduce effects caused by the heterogeneous subcellular distribution typically observed for endogenous PIs. The major challenge in the synthesis of these lipids is that all negative charges on the inositol head-group must be neutralized in order to allow diffusion over cellular membranes [88]. However, membrane permeable analogs of several PIs have been synthesized and successfully used.…”

“…Finally, a promising approach has been elaborated by Carsten Schultz and colleagues that developed very elegant strategies to introduce membrane-permeant versions of phosphoinositides into cells so that the lipid is released upon cleavage by cytosolic esterases (Laketa et al 2009;Mentel et al 2011). Such strategies, together with the development of novel chemical biology tools, offer promising new ways to study the function of membrane lipids (Riezman and Johnsson 2011;Wymann and Schultz 2012).…”

“…Therefore, techniques for rapid intervention into Pi concentrations and their dynamics are required. Unfortunately, with the exception of PI-3-kinase inhibitors (Wymann and Schultz, 2012), potent and specific pharmacological tools that target PI kinases and phosphatases are mostly lacking (Balla, 2013). Several experimental approaches have been developed that allow for different degrees of spatiotemporal control of various PI species.…”
