Phosphoinositide 3-kinase: a critical signalling event in pulmonary cells
Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI-3Ks) are enzymes that generate lipid second messenger molecules, resulting in the activation of multiple intracellular signalling cascades. These events regulate a broad array of cellular responses including survival, activation, differentiation and proliferation and are now recognised to have a key role in a number of physiological and pathophysiological processe...
متن کاملPhosphoinositide 3-kinase signalling pathways.
Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) phosphorylate the 3'-OH position of the inositol ring of inositol phospholipids, producing three lipid products: PtdIns(3)P, PtdIns(3,4)P(2) and PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3). These lipids bind to the pleckstrin homology (PH) domains of proteins and control the activity and subcellular localisation of a diverse array of signal transduction molecules. Three major classes o...
متن کاملRole of class II phosphoinositide 3-kinase in cell signalling.
Although it is now well established that PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase) is a key enzyme in several intracellular processes, there are still relatively few reports that precisely identify the specific isoforms of PI3K actually involved in such events. The lack of specific inhibitors has made it particularly difficult to address the physiological roles of some isoforms, such as the members of c...
متن کاملPhosphoinositide 3-kinase signalling in the vascular system.
Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) are protein and lipid kinases activated by different classes of membrane receptors, including G-protein coupled and tyrosine kinase receptors. Several lines of evidence have uncovered specific roles for distinct PI3K isoforms in the vascular system in both physiology and disease. The present review will summarize and discuss the most recent advances regarding ...
متن کاملPhosphoinositide 3-kinase: the key switch mechanism in insulin signalling.
Insulin plays a key role in regulating a wide range of cellular processes. However, until recently little was known about the signalling pathways that are involved in linking the insulin receptor with downstream responses. It is now apparent that the activation of class 1a phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) is necessary and in some cases sufficient to elicit many of insulin's effects on gl...
