Abstract

The role of lipids in signal transduction with reference to phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate directing endosomal localization of regulatory proteins is discused. Specific phosphate and hydroxyl group interactions distinguish phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate from other lipids. The lipid binds to FYVE and PX domains found in intracellular membrane transport/signal transduction proteins and phagocyte proteins, respectively.
