Overexpression of phosphatidylinositol phosphate 5-kinase (PIP5KI) isoforms {alpha}, ß, or {gamma} in CV-1 cells increased phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) levels by 35, 180, and 0%, respectively. Endocytosis of transferrin receptors, association of AP-2 proteins with membranes, and the number of clathrin-coated pits at the plasma membrane increased when PIP2 increased. When expression of PIP5KIß was inhibited with small interference RNA in HeLa cells, expression of PIP5KI{alpha} was also reduced slightly, but PIP5KI{gamma} expression was increased. PIP2 levels and internalization of transferrin receptors dropped 50% in these cells; thus, PIP5KI{gamma} could not compensate for loss of PIP5KIß. When expression of PIP5KI{alpha} was reduced, expression of both PIP5KIß and PIP5KI{gamma} increased and PIP2 levels did not change. A similar increase of PIP5KI{alpha} and PIP5KIß occurred when PIP5KI{gamma} was inhibited. These results indicate that constitutive endocytosis in CV-1 and HeLa cells requires (and may be regulated by) PIP2 produced primarily by PIP5KIß.

Key Words: phosphatidylinositol kinase; endocytosis; clathrin; transferrin receptor; phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate
