Phosphoinositides are pivotal regulators of vesicular traffic and signaling during phagocytosis. Phagosome formation, the initial step process, is characterized by local membrane remodeling reorganization actin cytoskeleton that leads to formation pseudopods drive particle engulfment. Using genetically encoded fluorescent probes, we found upon engagement a localized pool PtdIns(3,4)P2 generated sequential activities class I phosphoinositide 3-kinases 5-phosphatases.

Abstract Despite their comparatively low abundance, phosphoinositides play a central role in membrane traffic and signalling. PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 PtdIns(3,4)P2 are uniquely important, as they promote cell growth, survival, migration. Pathogenic organisms have developed means to subvert phosphoinositide metabolism successful infection survival within host organisms. We demonstrate that is generated cells by effectors of the enteropathogenic bacteria Salmonella Shigella. Pharmacological, gene...
