Abstract

Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)) is known to play an important role in signal transduction and membrane trafficking. We show that one enzyme responsible for PIP(2) production, phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase type 1beta (PIPKbeta), is essential for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mediated endocytosis. Expression of murine PIPKbeta in NR6 cells expressing EGFR strikingly increased receptor internalization. Moreover, the kinase was shown to form an immunoprecipitable complex with EGFR. Expression of either a truncated kinase or a kinase dead mutant inhibited EGFR endocytosis and also blocked the membrane recruitment of PIPKbeta and both clathrin light chain and dynamin. Our results delineate a novel mechanism by which PIPKbeta regulates receptor-mediated endocytosis and receptor tyrosine kinase membrane traffic.
