Identification of ARUK2002821 as an isoform-selective PI5P4Kα inhibitor.

The phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate 4-kinases (PI5P4Ks) play a central role in regulating cell signalling pathways and, as such, have become therapeutic targets for diseases such as cancer, neurodegeneration and immunological disorders. Many of the PI5P4Kα inhibitors that have been reported to date have suffered from poor selectivity and/or potency and the availability of better tool molecules would facilitate biological exploration. Herein we report a novel PI5P4Kα inhibitor chemotype that was identified through virtual screening. The series was optimised to deliver ARUK2002821 (36), a potent PI5P4Kα inhibitor (pIC50 = 8.0) which is selective vs. other PI5P4K isoforms and has broad selectivity against lipid and protein kinases. ADMET and target engagement data are provided for this tool molecule and others in the series, as well as an X-ray structure of 36 solved in complex with its PI5P4Kα target.

Discrete localization patterns of PIP5Kγ and PLCβ3 working sequentially in phosphoinositide-cycle within mouse sensory neuron somata.

It is known that phosphatidylinositol phosphate 5 kinase (PIP5K) γ and phospholipase C (PLC) β3, working sequentially in the phosphoinositide cycle, are localized in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) somata and are involved in the regulation of pain and related sensations. However, the sites of their involvement have remained to be clarified. In the present study, immunoreactivity for PLCβ3 was distinct only in the central process of mouse DRG, but not in its peripheral process, in contrast to distinct PIP5Kγ-immunoreactivity in both peripheral and central DRG processes. No nerve terminals showing immunoreactivity for PLCβ3 were detected in any peripheral sensory fields, similar to PIP5Kγ-immunoreactivity. In DRG somata, PIP5Kγ-immunoreactivity was rather confined to the neurolemma in which dots and threads were discerned in 3D bright field light microscopy. This feature well corresponded to its discontinuous localization along the plasma membranes in immuno-electron microscopy. In contrast, PLCβ3-immunoreactivity occurred diffusely throughout the somata, but did not take distinct appearance of immunoreaction on neurolemma or plasma membranes, unlike PIP5Kγ-immunoreactivity. In addition, satellite glial cells were immunonegative for PLCβ3, but immunopositive for PIP5Kγ. The involvement of PLCβ3 in regulation of pain and related sensations is thus suggested to be mainly exerted at levels of the DRG soma and its upstream, but to be less significant in the peripheral sensory fields, similar to PIP5Kγ. The possibility is also suggested that PIP, PIP5Kγ-target, is localized heterogeneously, but PIP2, PLCβ3-target, is localized homogenously over the plane of the neuronal plasma membranes. RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS: PIP5Kγ, different from PLCβ3, was localized heterogeneously on neuronal membranes, and this difference was demonstrated in 3D-bright field immuno-light and electron microscopy. Either PIP5Kγ or PLCβ3 was not detected in peripheral nerve terminals.

Development of potent and selective degraders of PI5P4Kγ

Phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate 4-kinases (PI5P4Ks), a family of three members in mammals (α, β and γ), have emerged as potential therapeutic targets due to their role in regulating many important cellular signaling pathways. In comparison to the PI5P4Kα and PI5P4Kβ, which usually have similar expression profiles across cancer cells, PI5P4Kγ exhibits distinct expression patterns, and pathological functions for PI5P4Kγ have been proposed in the context of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. PI5P4Kγ has very low kinase activity and has been proposed to inhibit the PI4P5Ks through scaffolding function, providing a rationale for developing a selective PI5P4Kγ degrader. Here, we report the development and characterization of JWZ-1-80, a first-in-class PI5P4Kγ degrader. JWZ-1-80 potently degrades PI5P4Kγ via the ubiquitin-proteasome system and exhibits proteome-wide selectivity and is therefore a useful tool compound for further dissecting the biological functions of PI5P4Kγ.

The Identification of Potent, Selective, and Brain Penetrant PI5P4Kγ Inhibitors as In Vivo-Ready Tool Molecules.

Owing to their central role in regulating cell signaling pathways, the phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate 4-kinases (PI5P4Ks) are attractive therapeutic targets in diseases such as cancer, neurodegeneration, and immunological disorders. Until now, tool molecules for these kinases have been either limited in potency or isoform selectivity, which has hampered further investigation of biology and drug development. Herein we describe the virtual screening workflow which identified a series of thienylpyrimidines as PI5P4Kγ-selective inhibitors, as well as the medicinal chemistry optimization of this chemotype, to provide potent and selective tool molecules for further use. In vivo pharmacokinetics data are presented for exemplar tool molecules, along with an X-ray structure for ARUK2001607 (15) in complex with PI5P4Kγ, along with its selectivity data against >150 kinases and a Cerep safety panel.

Rational Design and Synthesis of D-galactosyl Lysophospholipids as Selective Substrates and non-ATP-competitive Inhibitors of Phosphatidylinositol Phosphate Kinases.

Phosphatidylinositol phosphate kinases (PIPKs) produce lipid signaling molecules and have been attracting increasing attention as drug targets for cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and viral infection. Given the potential cross-inhibition of kinases and other ATP-utilizing enzymes by ATP-competitive inhibitors, targeting the unique lipid substrate binding site represents a superior strategy for PIPK inhibition. Here, by taking advantage of the nearly identical stereochemistry between myo-inositol and D-galactose, we designed and synthesized a panel of D-galactosyl lysophospholipids, one of which was found to be a selective substrate of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase. Derivatization of this compound led to the discovery of a human PIKfyve inhibitor with an apparent IC50 of 6.2 μM, which significantly potentiated the inhibitory effect of Apilimod, an ATP-competitive PIKfyve inhibitor under clinical trials against SARS-CoV-2 infection and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Our results provide the proof of concept that D-galactose-based phosphoinositide mimetics can be developed into artificial substrates and new inhibitors of PIPKs.

The Arf6/PIP5K pathway activates IKACh in cigarette smoke mediated atrial fibrillation

Cigarette smoking (CS) is a major cause of cardiovascular diseases. Smokers are at a significantly higher risk for developing atrial fibrillation (AF), a dangerous and abnormal heart rhythm. In the US, 15.5% of adults are current smokers, and it is becoming clear that CS is an independent risk factor for AF, but a detailed mechanistic understanding of how CS contributes to the molecular patho-electrophysiology of AF remains elusive. We investigated if CS related AF is in part mediated through a mechanism that depends on the cardiac acetylcholine activated inward rectifier potassium current (IKACh). We tested the hypothesis that CS increases IKACh via phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase alpha (PIP5K) and ADP ribosylation factor 6 (Arf6) signaling, leading to AF perpetuation. In vivo inducibility of AF was assessed in mice exposed to CS for 8 weeks. AF duration was increased in CS exposed mice, and TertiapinQ, an IKACh blocker prevented AF development in CS exposed mice. In HEK293 cells stably transfected with Kir3.1 and Kir3.4, the molecular correlates of IKACh, CS exposure increased the expression of the Kir3.1 and Kir3.4 proteins at the cell surface, activated Arf6 and increased the IKACh current. Inhibition of PIP5K, or of Kir3.1/Kir3.4 trafficking via Arf6 abrogated the CS effects on IKACh. Cigarette smoke modifies the atrial electrophysiological substrate, leading to arrhythmogenesis, in part, through IKACh activation via an Arf6/PIP5K dependent pathway.

Bipartite phosphoinositide-dependent modulation of auxin signaling during xylem differentiation in Arabidopsis thaliana roots.

Efficient root-to-shoot delivery of water and nutrients in plants relies on the correct differentiation of xylem cells into hollow elements. While auxin is integral to the formation of xylem cells, it remains poorly characterized how each subcellular pool of this hormone regulates this process. Combining genetic and cell biological approaches, we investigated the bipartite activity of nucleoplasmic vs plasma membrane-associated phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate kinases PIP5K1 and its homolog PIP5K2 in Arabidopsis thaliana roots and uncovered a novel mechanism by which phosphoinositides integrate distinct aspects of the auxin signaling cascade and, in turn, regulate the onset of xylem differentiation. The appearance of undifferentiated cells in protoxylem strands of pip5k1 pip5k2 is phenomimicked in auxin transport and perception mutants and can be partially restored by the nuclear residence of PIP5K1. By contrast, exclusion of PIP5K1 from the nucleus hinders the auxin-mediated induction of the xylem master regulator VASCULAR RELATED NAC DOMAIN (VND) 7. A xylem-specific increase of auxin levels abolishes pip5k1 pip5k2 vascular defects, indicating that the establishment of auxin maxima is required to activate VND7-mediated xylem differentiation. Our results describe a new mechanism by which distinct subcellular pools of phosphoinositides integrate auxin transport and perception to initiate xylem differentiation in a spatiotemporal manner.

Membrane-mediated dimerization potentiates PIP5K lipid kinase activity.

The phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase (PIP5K) family of lipid-modifying enzymes generate the majority of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] lipids found at the plasma membrane in eukaryotic cells. PI(4,5)P2 lipids serve a critical role in regulating receptor activation, ion channel gating, endocytosis, and actin nucleation. Here, we describe how PIP5K activity is regulated by cooperative binding to PI(4,5)P2 lipids and membrane-mediated dimerization of the kinase domain. In contrast to constitutively dimeric phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate 4-kinase (PIP4K, type II PIPK), solution PIP5K exists in a weak monomer-dimer equilibrium. PIP5K monomers can associate with PI(4,5)P2-containing membranes and dimerize in a protein density-dependent manner. Although dispensable for cooperative PI(4,5)P2 binding, dimerization enhances the catalytic efficiency of PIP5K through a mechanism consistent with allosteric regulation. Additionally, dimerization amplifies stochastic variation in the kinase reaction velocity and strengthens effects such as the recently described stochastic geometry sensing. Overall, the mechanism of PIP5K membrane binding creates a broad dynamic range of lipid kinase activities that are coupled to the density of PI(4,5)P2 and membrane-bound kinase.

Localization of phosphatidylinositol phosphate 5 kinase γ, phospholipase β3 and diacylglycerol kinase ζ in corneal epithelium in comparison with conjunctival epithelium of mice

Based on the theory that the phosphoinositide (PI) signal is involved in the physiology of cornea and conjunctiva, we examined the localization in the mouse anterior ocular epithelia of immunoreactivities for phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase (PIP5K), phospholipase C (PLC) and diacylglycerol kinase (DGK), enzymes that work sequentially in PI cycle. Immunoreactivity for PIP5Kγ in the corneal epithelium, including the limbus, was distinct in adults in contrast to faint or negligible immunoreactivity in the conjunctival epithelium in neonatal mice. This adult localization pattern was first recognized at the postnatal time of eyelid opening. Immunoreactivity for PLCβ3 was rather equally distinct throughout the entire corneal and conjunctival epithelia in adults. DGKζ-immunoreactive nuclei were mainly localized in the basal half domain of the corneal epithelium but in both basal and apical domains of the conjunctival epithelium in adults. This nuclear immunoreactivity was at weak or negligible levels in the peripheral and limbus cornea and in a considerable portion of the bulbar conjunctival epithelium continuous with the limbus. The adult patterns for PLCβ3 and DGKζ were already present at birth. The present findings suggest the following possibilities on the functional significance of the three enzyme molecules. PIP5Kγ is involved in cornea-specific functions such as bright-field vision, including corneal transparency, and in the stability of epithelial junctions, for which there seems to be a much higher requirement in the corneal epithelium than in the conjunctival epithelium. PLCβ3 is involved from birth in as-yet undefined functions exerted ubiquitously from birth in both corneal and conjunctival epithelia. DGKζ is involved in regulation from birth of the transcription in epithelial cells, including apoptosis as well as regulation of mitosis of epithelial cells in both cornea and conjunctiva, with the transcription involvement more apparent in the conjunctiva, although it does not work in stem cells of the corneal limbus.

The vacuolar morphology protein VAC14 plays an important role in sexual development in the filamentous ascomycete Sordaria macrospora

The multiprotein Fab1p/PIKfyve-complex regulating the abundance of the phospholipid phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(3,5)P2) is highly conserved among eukaryotes. In yeast/mammals, it is composed of the phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate 5-kinase Fab1p/PIKfyve, the PtdIns(3,5)P2 phosphatase Fig4p/Sac3 and the scaffolding subunit Vac14p/ArPIKfyve. The complex is located to vacuolar membranes in yeast and to endosomal membranes in mammals, where it controls the synthesis and turnover of PtdIns(3,5)P2. In this study, we analyzed the role and function of the Fab1p/PIKfyve-complex scaffold protein SmVAC14 in the filamentous ascomycete Sordaria macrospora (Sm). We generated the Smvac14 deletion strain ∆vac14 and performed phenotypic analysis of the mutant. Furthermore, we conducted fluorescence microscopic localization studies of fluorescently labeled SmVAC14 with vacuolar and late endosomal marker proteins. Our results revealed that SmVAC14 is important for maintaining vacuolar size and appearance as well as proper sexual development in S. macrospora. In addition, SmVAC14 plays an important role in starvation stress response. Accordingly, our results propose that the turnover of PtdIns(3,5)P2 is of great significance for developmental processes in filamentous fungi.

Abstract 155: An endosomal type Igamma PIP 5-kinase controls endosome maturation, lysosome function, and autophagy by modulating Rab7a

Abstract Endosomes are major protein-sorting stations in cells. Defects in endosomal sorting are implicated in various human pathologies, such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. The small GTPase Ras-related protein Rab-7a (Rab7a) serves as a key organizer of the endosomal-lysosomal system. However, molecular mechanisms controlling Rab7a activation levels and subcellular translocation are still poorly defined. Here, we demonstrate that type Igamma phosphatidylinositol phosphate 5-kinase i5 (PIPKIgammai5), an endosome-localized enzyme that produces phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI4,5P2), directly interacts with Rab7a and plays critical roles in the control of endosomal-lysosomal system. The loss of PIPKIgammai5 blocks Rab7a recruitment to early endosomes, which prevents the maturation of early to late endosomes. In this way, PIPKIgammai5 is required for Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) sorting from endosomes to lysosomes, which controls the down-regulation of EGFR signaling. Furthermore, PIPKIgammai5 loss disturbs retromer complex connection with Rab7a, which blocks the retrograde sorting of Cation-independent Mannose 6-Phosphate Receptor (CI-MPR) from late endosomes. This leads to the decreased sorting of hydrolases to lysosomes. Thus, loss of PIPKIgammai5 causes lysosome dysfunction and reduces the autophagic degradation. By modulating retromer-Rab7a connection, PIPKIgammai5 is also required for the recruitment of the GTPase-activating protein (GAP) TBC1 domain family member 5 (TBC1D5) to late endosomes, which controls the conversion of Rab7a from the active state to the inactive state. Altogether, PIPKIgammai5 is critical for the modulation of Rab7a activity, localization, and function in the endosomal-lysosomal system.

The GTP responsiveness of PI5P4Kβ evolved from a compromised trade-off between activity and specificity

Unlike most kinases, phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate 4-kinase β (PI5P4Kβ) utilizes GTP as a physiological phosphate donor and regulates cell growth under stress (i.e., GTP-dependent stress resilience). However, the genesis and evolution of its GTP responsiveness remain unknown. Here, we reveal that PI5P4Kβ has acquired GTP preference by generating a short dual-nucleotide-recognizing motif called the guanine efficient association (GEA) motif. Comparison of nucleobase recognition with 660 kinases and 128G proteins has uncovered that most kinases and PI5P4Kβ use their main-chain atoms for adenine recognition, while the side-chain atoms are required for guanine recognition. Mutational analysis of the GEA motif revealed that the acquisition of GTP reactivity is accompanied by an extended activity toward inosine triphosphate (ITP) and xanthosine triphosphate (XTP). Along with the evolutionary analysis data that point to strong negative selection of the GEA motif, these results suggest that the GTP responsiveness of PI5P4Kβ has evolved from a compromised trade-off between activity and specificity, underpinning the development of the GTP-dependent stress resilience.

Novel mechanisms in phosphoinositide turnover

The hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5‐ bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] at the plasma membrane by receptor activated phospholipase C (PLC) activity is a conserved mechanism of signal transduction. Given the low abundance of PI(4,5)P2 at the plasma membrane, its hydrolysis needs to be coupled to lipid resynthesis to ensure continued PLC activity during receptor activation. However, the mechanism by which PI(4,5)P2depletion during signalling is coupled to its resynthesis remains unknown. PI(4,5)P2synthesis is catalyzed by lipid kinase activity and the phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol 4 phosphate (PI4P) by phosphatidylinositol 4 phosphate 5 kinase (PIP5K) is the final step in this process. In Drosophila photoreceptors, sensory transduction of photon absorption is transduced into PLC activity leading to an electrical response to light. During this process, PI(4,5)P2is resynthesized by a PIP5K activity but the mechanism by which the activity of this enzyme is coupled to PLC signalling is not known. In this study, we identify a unique protein isoform of dPIP5K,dPIP5KL that is both necessary and sufficient to mediate PI(4,5)P2synthesis during phototransduction. The activity of dPIP5KLin vitrois enhanced by depletion of PNUT, a non‐redundant subunit of the septin family of GTP binding proteins and in vivo, depletion of dPIP5KL rescues the effect of pnut depletion on the light response and PI(4,5)P2resynthesis during PLC signalling. Thus, our work defines a septin 7 mediated mechanism through which PIP5K activity is coupled to ongoing PLC mediated PI(4,5)P2 depletion.

MiR-2013 negatively regulates phylogenetically conserved PIP5K involved in TLR4 mediated immune responses of amphioxus (Branchiostoma belcheri Tsingtaunese)

Phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase (PIP5K) is a catalytic kinase that performs multiple functions in organisms. Recent studies have shown that PIP5Kα in mammals can directly participate in the TLR-mediated innate immune regulation by controlling the production of PIP2. However, the PIP5K homologous gene has not been identified in Cephalochordata to date. In this study, we firstly identify and characterize a new PIP5K family member (designed as AmphiPIP5K) from Cephalochordata amphioxus (Branchiostoma belcheri tsingtaunese), particularly AmphiPIP5K is orthologous with vertebrate PIP5Kα and paralogous with PIP5Kβ and PIP5Kγ. Secondly, we find that the AmphiPIP5K is involved in amphioxus innate immune response to LPS stimulation. Thirdly, our results demonstrate that miR-2013 can inhibit AmphiPIP5K expression by binding to the CDS and 3′ UTR regions of AmphiPIP5K. Collectively, our work not only demonstrates the evolutionary pattern of amphioxus PIP5K, but also reveals that miR-2013 negatively regulate PIP5K expression to involve in amphioxus innate immune response.

PI(4,5)P2 controls slit diaphragm formation and endocytosis in Drosophila nephrocytes

Drosophila nephrocytes are an emerging model system for mammalian podocytes and proximal tubules as well as for the investigation of kidney diseases. Like podocytes, nephrocytes exhibit characteristics of epithelial cells, but the role of phospholipids in polarization of these cells is yet unclear. In epithelia, phosphatidylinositol(4,5)bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) and phosphatidylinositol(3,4,5)-trisphosphate (PI(3,4,5)P3) are asymmetrically distributed in the plasma membrane and determine apical–basal polarity. Here, we demonstrate that both phospholipids are present in the plasma membrane of nephrocytes, but only PI(4,5)P2 accumulates at slit diaphragms. Knockdown of Skittles, a phosphatidylinositol(4)phosphate 5-kinase, which produces PI(4,5)P2, abolished slit diaphragm formation and led to strongly reduced endocytosis. Notably, reduction in PI(3,4,5)P3 by overexpression of PTEN or expression of a dominant-negative phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase did not affect nephrocyte function, whereas enhanced formation of PI(3,4,5)P3 by constitutively active phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase resulted in strong slit diaphragm and endocytosis defects by ectopic activation of the Akt/mTOR pathway. Thus, PI(4,5)P2 but not PI(3,4,5)P3 is essential for slit diaphragm formation and nephrocyte function. However, PI(3,4,5)P3 has to be tightly controlled to ensure nephrocyte development.

Septins tune lipid kinase activity and PI(4,5)P2 turnover during G-protein-coupled PLC signalling in vivo.

Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] hydrolysis by phospholipase C (PLC) is a conserved mechanism of signalling. Given the low abundance of PI(4,5)P2, its hydrolysis needs to be coupled to resynthesis to ensure continued PLC activity; however, the mechanism by which depletion is coupled to resynthesis remains unknown. PI(4,5)P2 synthesis is catalyzed by the phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol 4 phosphate (PI4P) by phosphatidylinositol 4 phosphate 5 kinase (PIP5K). In Drosophila photoreceptors, photon absorption is transduced into PLC activity and during this process, PI(4,5)P2 is resynthesized by a PIP5K. However, the mechanism by which PIP5K activity is coupled to PI(4,5)P2 hydrolysis is unknown. In this study, we identify a unique isoform dPIP5KL, that is both necessary and sufficient to mediate PI(4,5)P2 synthesis during phototransduction. Depletion of PNUT, a non-redundant subunit of the septin family, enhances dPIP5KL activity in vitro and PI(4,5)P2 resynthesis in vivo; co-depletion of dPIP5KL reverses the enhanced rate of PI(4,5)P2 resynthesis in vivo. Thus, our work defines a septin-mediated mechanism through which PIP5K activity is coupled to PLC-mediated PI(4,5)P2 hydrolysis.

After one year of the COVID-19 pandemic and hundreds of suggested drugs, will cathepsin L inhibitors be the solution?

Cysteine cathepsins are defined as lysosomal enzymes that are members of the papain family. Cysteine cathepsins (Cts) prevalently exist in whole organisms, varying from prokaryotes to mammals, and possess greatly conserved cysteine residues in their active sites. Cts are engaged in the digestion of cellular proteins, activation of zymogens, and remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Host cells are entered by SARS-CoV-2 via endocytosis. Cathepsin L and phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate 5-kinase are crucial in endocytosis by cleaving the spike protein, which permits viral membrane fusion with the endosomal membrane and succeeds in the release of the viral genome to the host cell. Therefore, inhibition of cathepsin L may be advantageous in terms of decreasing infection caused by SARS-CoV-2. Coordinate inhibition of multiple Cts and lysosomal function by different drugs and biological agents might be of value for some purposes, such as a parasite or viral infections and antineoplastic applications. Zn2+ deficiency or dysregulation leads to exaggerated cysteine cathepsin activity, increasing the autoimmune/inflammatory response. For this purpose, Zn2+ metal can be safely combined with a drug that increases the anti-proteolytic effect of endogenous Zn2+, lowering the excessive activity of some CysCts. Biguanide derivative complexes with Zn2+ have been found to be promising inhibitors of CysCts protease reactions. Molecular docking studies of cathepsin L inhibited by the metformin-Zn+2 complex have been performed, showing two strong key interactions (Cys-25&His-163) and an extra H-bond with Asp-163 compared to cocrystallized Zn+2 (PDB ID 4axl).
