Abstract
The interaction of cellular proteins with lipid membranes is an important question in Biology primarily because such interactions determine the correct subcellular localisation and activity of cellular proteins. In this project we will extend previous observations that showed that phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase (PIPkin), a protein involved in secretion, cytoskeletal rearrangements and neurotransmitter release is a specific binding partner of phosphatidic acid, a signalling lipid. This information will be useful in understanding the cellular function of PIPkin.
