(February 2009) Phosphatidylinositol transfer protein, beta isoform Identifiers Symbol IP_trans Pfam PF02121 InterPro IPR001666 SCOP 1fvz OPM family 147 OPM protein 2a1l Available PDB structures: 2a1lA:2-254 1t27A:2-255 1kcmA:2-255 1uw5C:2-254 Phosphatidylinositol transfer protein (PITP) is a ubiquitous cytosolic domain involved in transport of phospholipids from their site of synthesis in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi to other cell membranes.[1] Contents 1 Biological function 2 Structure and evolution 3 Human proteins 4 References // Biological function PITP has been also shown to be an essential component of the polyphosphoinositide synthesis machinery and is hence required for proper signalling by epidermal growth factor and f-Met-Leu-Phe, as well as for exocytosis. The role of PITP in polyphosphoinositide synthesis may also explain its involvement in intracellular vesicular traffic.[1] Structure and evolution Along with the structurally unrelated Sec14p family (found in Pfam PF00650), this family can bind/exchange one molecule of phosphatidylinositol (PI) or phosphatidylcholine (PC) and thus aids their transfer between different membrane compartments. There are three sub-families - all share an N-terminal PITP-like domain, whose sequence is highly conserved. It is described as consisting of three regions. The N-terminal region is thought to bind the lipid and contains two helices and an eight-stranded, mostly antiparallel beta-sheet. An intervening loop region, which is thought to play a role in protein-protein interactions, separates this from the C-terminal region, which exhibits the greatest sequence variation and may be involved in membrane binding. PITP alpha (UniProt Q00169) has a 16-fold greater affinity for PI than PC. Together with PITP beta (UniProt P48739), it is expressed ubiquitously in all tissues.[2] Human proteins The family of human phosphatidylinositol transfer proteins has several members: Phosphatidylinositol transfer protein, alpha (PITPNA) Phosphatidylinositol transfer protein, beta (PITPNB) Phosphatidylinositol transfer protein, cytoplasmic 1 (PITPNC) Phosphatidylinositol transfer protein, membrane-associated 1 (PITPNM1) Phosphatidylinositol transfer protein, membrane-associated 2 (PITPNM2) PITPNM family member 3 (PITPNM3) References ^ a b Liscovitch M, Cantley LC (1995).
