概要 Phosphoinositides (PIs) are lipid second messengers that regulate many cell functions and their dysregulation causes diseases such as cancer and developmental disorders. Eight species of PIs form a circuit, which starts from phosphatidylinositol and is fluxed to the subsequent PIs by sequential phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of its inositol head group. Accumulating evidence indicates that conversions of certain PIs are unidirectional in vivo, which could potentially provide the directional flow in the network. However, overall mass flux in the phosphoinositide circuit remains unknown because tracer analysis of phosphoinositide flux has been challenging. Here, we developed a kinetic model and discovered a homeostatic PI current under steady state conditions. Our model showed a GTP sensor protein, phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate-4-kinase (PI5P4K), works as one of the major enzymes to produce the PI current. Surprisingly, model predictions and knock-out experiments of PI5P4K revealed a new metabolic pathway of PIs is necessary to maintain the PI current.
