| abstractText | The three isoforms of PIP5KI (alpha, beta, and gamma) synthesize PI4,5P(2) (PIP(2)) by phosphorylating PI4P. Therefore, it is not clear why platelets, like all eukaryotic cells, have more than one isoform. To test the hypothesis that PIP5KI isoforms have nonoverlapping functions, we generated a murine line containing a null mutation of PIP5KIbeta and analyzed the effect on platelet signaling. PIP5KIbeta-null mice had normal platelet counts. In contrast to platelets lacking PIP5KIalpha, platelets lacking PIP5KIbeta exhibited impaired aggregation accompanied by disaggregation. Although platelets lacking PIP5KIbeta had only a moderate deficiency of PIP(2) under basal conditions, they had a striking deficiency in PIP(2) synthesis and IP(3) formation after thrombin stimulation. We have also observed that platelets lacking both PIP5KIalpha and PIP5KIbeta have a complete loss of thrombin-induced IP(3) synthesis even though they still contain PIP5KIgamma, the predominant PIP5KI isoform in platelets. These results demonstrate that PIP5KIbeta, like PIP5KIalpha, contributes to the rapid synthesis of a pool of PIP(2) that is required for second-messenger formation, whereas the pool of PIP(2) synthesized by PIP5KIgamma does not contribute to this process. Additionally, we found that PIP5KIbeta-null platelets failed to form arterial thrombi properly in vivo. Together, these data demonstrate that PIP5KIbeta is required for rapid PIP(2) synthesis, second-messenger production, and stable platelet adhesion under shear in vivo. These results also demonstrate that after stimulation of a G protein-coupled receptor, IP(3) is completely derived from a rapidly synthesized discrete pool of PIP(2) synthesized by PIP5KIalpha and PIP5KIbeta. |
