Anti-PIK3R5 (Phosphoinositide 3-kinase Regulatory Subunit 5, PI3-kinase Regulatory Subunit 5, PI3-ki

Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) catalyzes the production of phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-triphosphate by phosphorylating phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PIP) and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2). Growth factors and hormones trigger this phosphorylation event, which in turn coordinates cell growth, cell cycle entry, cell migration, and cell survival (1). PTEN reverses this process, and the PI3K signaling pathway is constitutively activated in human cancers that have loss of function of PTEN (2). PI3Ks are composed of a catalytic subunit (p110) and a regulatory subunit. Various isoforms of the catalytic subunit (p110a, p110b, p110y, and p110d) have been isolated, and the regulatory subunits that associate with p110a, p110b, and p110d are p85a and p85b (3). In contrast, p110y associates with a p101 regulatory subunit that is unrelated to p85. Furthermore, p110y is activated by BY subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins (4). The p101 regulatory subunit binds to Gby, released from heterotrimeric G proteins, and recruits bound p110y catalytic subunit to the plasma membrane, which is required for GPCR-induced PI3Ky activity (5).
