Abstract

Phosphatidylinositol phosphates (PIPs) perform central functions in signal transduction and membrane traffic. Synaptojanin is a PIP 5-phosphatase that is expressed in a brain-specific and a ubiquitous splice variants and is thought to constitute the major PIP 5-phosphatase in mammalian brain (Woscholski, R., Finan, P.M., Radley, E., Totty, N.F., Sterling, A.E., Hsuan, J.J., Waterfield, M. D., and Parker, P. J. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 9625-9628). We now describe synaptojanin 2, a novel isoform of synaptojanin that, similar to synaptojanin 1, contains an N-terminal SAC1-like sequence and a central 5-phosphatase domain but a distinct, unique C-terminal sequence. Transfection studies demonstrated that synaptojanin 2, like synaptojanin 1, is an active PIP phosphatase. An interesting feature of synaptojanin 1 is the presence of a long open reading frame in the 3' region of the brain mRNA that in non-brain tissues is joined to the coding region by alternative splicing, resulting in a shorter synaptojanin 1 form in brain and a longer form in peripheral tissues (Ramjaun, A. R., and McPherson, P. S. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 24856-24861). Although it exhibits no homology to synaptojanin 1 in this region, synaptojanin 2 also contains ...Continue Reading
