Abstract

Inositol polyphosphate phosphatases and phosphoinositides second messengers have been associated with major cellular functions as growth, differentiation, apoptosis, protein trafficking and motility. To characterize the role of inositol phosphatases in cell physiology, we have isolated the mouse Inositol polyphosphate 4-phosphatase type II (Inpp4b) cDNA. The murine Inpp4b locus was mapped on chromosome 8 in a synthenic region of the human 4q27-31 interval between Il-15 and Usp38. The mouse Inpp4b proteins, alpha and beta isoforms, encoded by this locus contained 927 and 941 amino acids respectively with a consensus phosphatase catalytic site and a conserved C2 domain that are highly similar with the human and rat homologues. Interestingly, we characterized a novel shorter isoform of Inpp4balpha resulting from an alternative translation initiation site and exon 5 skipping. Inpp4b C2 domain interacted with preferential affinity to phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-triphosphate (PI(3,4,5)P(3)) lipids. While analysis of Inpp4b transcript and protein expression demonstrated a broad tissue distribution for the alpha isoform, as for the paralogue Inpp4aalpha and beta isoforms, it also displayed a limited hematopoietic l...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Alternative splicing

Alternative splicing a regulated gene expression process that allows a single genetic sequence to code for multiple proteins. Here is that latest research.

AKT Pathway

This feed focuses on the AKT serine/threonine kinase, which is an important signaling pathway involved in processes such as glucose metabolism and cell survival.
