PtdIns(4,5)P₂ turnover is required for multiple stages during clathrin- and actin-dependent endocytic internalization

The lipid phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns[4,5]P₂) appears to play an important role in endocytosis. However, the timing of its formation and turnover, and its specific functions at different stages during endocytic internalization, have not been established. In this study, Sla2 ANTH-GF...

Description
Summary:The lipid phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns[4,5]P₂) appears to play an important role in endocytosis. However, the timing of its formation and turnover, and its specific functions at different stages during endocytic internalization, have not been established. In this study, Sla2 ANTH-GFP and Sjl2-3GFP were expressed as functional fusion proteins at endogenous levels to quantitatively explore PtdIns(4,5)P₂ dynamics during endocytosis in yeast. Our results indicate that PtdIns(4,5)P₂ levels increase and decline in conjunction with coat and actin assembly and disassembly, respectively. Live-cell image analysis of endocytic protein dynamics in an sjl1Δ sjl2Δ mutant, which has elevated PtdIns(4,5)P₂ levels, revealed that the endocytic machinery is still able to assemble and disassemble dynamically, albeit nonproductively. The defects in the dynamic behavior of the various endocytic proteins in this double mutant suggest that PtdIns(4,5)P₂ turnover is required for multiple stages during endocytic vesicle formation. Furthermore, our results indicate that PtdIns(4,5)P₂ turnover may act in coordination with the Ark1/Prk1 protein kinases in stimulating disassembly of the endocytic machinery.
