| Abstract | PTEN is a tumor suppressor that reverses the action of phosphoinositide 3-kinase by catalyzing the removal of the 3' phosphate of phosphoinositides. Despite the critical role of PTEN in cell signaling and regulation, the mechanisms of its membrane recruitment and activation is still poorly understood. PTEN is composed of an N-terminal phosphatase domain, a C2 domain, and a C-terminal tail region that contains the PSD-95/Dlg/ZO-1 homology (PDZ) domain-binding sequence and multiple phosphorylation sites. Our in vitro surface plasmon resonance measurements using immobilized vesicles showed that both the phosphatase domain and the C2 domain, but not the C-terminal tail, are involved in electrostatic membrane binding of PTEN. Furthermore, the phosphorylation-mimicking mutation on the C-terminal tail of PTEN caused an approximately 80-fold reduction in its membrane affinity, mainly by slowing the membrane-association step. Subcellular localization studies of PTEN transfected into HEK293T and HeLa cells indicated that targeting of PTEN to the plasma membrane is coupled with rapid degradation and that the phosphatase domain and the C2 domain are both necessary and sufficient for its membrane recruitment. Results also indicated that the phosphorylation regulates the targeting of PTEN to the plasma membrane not by blocking the PDZ domain-binding site but by interfering with electrostatic membrane binding of PTEN. On the basis of these results, we propose a membrane-binding and activation mechanism for PTEN, in which the phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of the C-terminal region serves as an electrostatic switch that controls the membrane translocation of the protein. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
