TLDR
In this paper, a tri-Cys motif in EFR3B was used to identify a palmitoylation code in controlling protein-protein and protein-lipid interactions affecting a plasma membrane-resident lipid biosynthetic pathway.
Abstract
PI4KIIIα is the major enzyme responsible for generating the phosphoinositide PI(4)P at the plasma membrane. This lipid kinase forms two multicomponent complexes, both including a palmitoylated anchor, EFR3. Whereas both PI4KIIIα complexes support production of PI(4)P, the distinct functions of each complex and mechanisms underlying the interplay between them remain unknown. Here, we present roles for differential palmitoylation patterns within a tri-Cys motif in EFR3B (Cys5/Cys7/Cys8) in controlling the distribution of PI4KIIIα between these two complexes at the plasma membrane and corresponding functions in phosphoinositide homeostasis. Spacing of palmitoyl groups within three doubly palmitoylated EFR3B "lipoforms" affects both its interactions with TMEM150A, a transmembrane protein governing formation of a PI4KIIIα complex functioning in rapid PI(4,5)P2 resynthesis following PLC signaling, and its partitioning within liquid-ordered and -disordered regions of the plasma membrane. This work identifies a palmitoylation code in controlling protein-protein and protein-lipid interactions affecting a plasma membrane-resident lipid biosynthetic pathway.

Molecular mechanisms of PI4K regulation and their involvement in viral replication

McPhail Jacob A, +1 more
- 17 May 2022 - 
TL;DR: The focus will be the molecular basis for how PI4KA and PI4KB are activated by both protein binding partners and post-translational modifications, with an emphasis on understanding the different molecular mechanisms viruses have evolved to usurp PI4Ks.

EFR3 and phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase IIIα regulate insulin-stimulated glucose transport and GLUT4 dispersal in 3T3-L1 adipocytes

- 01 Jul 2022 - 
TL;DR: This article showed that EFR3 plays a previously unknown role in controlling insulin-stimulated glucose transport by facilitating dispersal of GLUT4 within the plasma membrane and showed that knockdown of EFR-3 or phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase type IIIα impairs insulin-induced glucose transport in adipocytes.

Knockdown of Transmembrane Protein 150A (TMEM150A) Results in Increased Production of Multiple Cytokines.

TL;DR: Knockdown of TMEM150A in a lung epithelial cell line (H292) also led to increased cytokine levels in the unstimulated conditions suggesting TMEM 150A plays an important role in cellular homeostasis.

The mystery of membrane organization: composition, regulation and roles of lipid rafts

TL;DR: The membrane raft hypothesis formalized a physicochemical principle for a subtype of lateral membrane heterogeneity, in which the preferential associations between cholesterol and saturated lipids drive the formation of relatively packed membrane domains that selectively recruit certain lipids and proteins.
