    Abstract In this issue of Structure, Das et al. (2019) probe the structure and dynamics of dimeric cytohesins (guanine nucleotide exchange factors for ADP-ribosylation factors), in solution and on membranes. Unleashing an arsenal of methods, they demonstrate that a pleckstrin-homology domain-mediated membrane recruitment promotes conformational changes that prime cytohesins for allosteric activation.

    Abstract Phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PtdIns3P) is essential for generating autophagosomes and regulating endocytic trafficking. Recently, we have shown that the activities of human PIK3C3/VPS34-containing complexes I and II, which synthesize PtdIns3P, are greatly affected by three membrane physicochemical parameters: lipid unsaturation, membrane curvature, and negative charge. Both complexes are more active on membranes composed of unsaturated lipids than saturated lipids, and high membrane curvature can compensate for the negative effect of high lipid saturation. Negatively charged phosphatidylserine (PS) activates the complexes, as well as PIK3C3/VPS34 alone. The kinase activity of complex I depends critically on the ATG14 BATS domain, whereas complex II relies on the BECN1 BARA domain. Our findings highlight the importance of the membrane character as sensed by the unique membrane binding motifs/domain of the complexes for regulating PIK3C3/VPS34 activity.

    Abstract VPS34 phosphorylates phosphatidylinositol to produce PtdIns3P and is the progenitor of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) family. VPS34 has a simpler domain organization than class I PI3Ks, which belies the complexity of its quaternary organization, with the enzyme always functioning within larger assemblies. PtdIns3P recruits specific recognition modules that are common in protein-sorting pathways, such as autophagy and endocytic sorting. It is best characterized in two heterotetramers, complexes I and II. Complex I is composed of VPS34, VPS15, Beclin 1, and autophagy-related gene (ATG)14L, whereas complex II replaces ATG14L with UVRAG. Because VPS34 can form a component of several distinct complexes, it enables independent regulation of various pathways that are controlled by PtdIns3P. Complexes I and II are critical for early events in autophagy and endocytic sorting, respectively. Autophagy has a complex association with cancer. In early stages, it inhibits tumorigenesis, but in later stages, it acts as a survival factor for tumors. Recently, various disease-associated somatic mutations were found in genes encoding complex I and II subunits. Lipid kinase activities of the complexes are also influenced by posttranslational modifications (PTMs). Mapping PTMs and somatic mutations on three-dimensional models of the complexes suggests mechanisms for how these affect VPS34 activity.

    Abstract The class I phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) are lipid kinases that transduce a host of cellular signals and regulate a broad range of essential functions including growth, proliferation, and migration. As such, PI3Ks have pivotal roles in diseases such as cancer, diabetes, primary immune disorders, and inflammation. These enzymes are activated downstream of numerous activating stimuli including receptor tyrosine kinases, G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), and the Ras superfamily of small G proteins. A major challenge is to decipher how each PI3K isoform is able to successfully synergize these inputs into their intended signaling function. This article highlights recent progress in characterizing the molecular mechanisms of PI3K isoform-specific activation pathways, as well as novel roles for PI3Ks in human diseases, specifically cancer and immune diseases.
