phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase complex, class III, type II
Definition
Target type: cellularcomponent
A class III phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase complex that is involved in vacuolar protein sorting (VPS) via endosomes. In budding yeast, this complex consists of Vps30p, Vps34p, Vps38 and Vps15p. [GOC:ha, GOC:rb, PMID:11157979, PMID:16421251]
The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) complex class III, type II is a multi-protein complex involved in autophagy, a cellular process of degrading and recycling cellular components. It is a crucial component of the autophagosome formation pathway, playing a vital role in the initiation and maturation of these double-membrane vesicles.
The complex consists of multiple core components, including:
* **VPS34:** This is the catalytic subunit, responsible for the phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) to produce phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PtdIns3P). PtdIns3P acts as a key signaling molecule, recruiting specific proteins to the autophagosome membrane.
* **VPS15:** Also known as p150, this protein acts as a regulatory subunit. It is crucial for the stability and proper localization of the complex. It interacts with VPS34 and other components, facilitating the activation and assembly of the complex.
* **Beclin-1:** This protein is an essential autophagy-related protein and is a core component of the class III PI3K complex. It binds to VPS34 and facilitates the recruitment of other autophagy proteins, including ATG14.
* **ATG14:** This protein serves as a scaffolding protein, recruiting other autophagy proteins to the complex. It plays a crucial role in the initiation of autophagosome formation.
* **UVRAG:** This protein interacts with Beclin-1 and promotes the formation of the autophagosome. It is also involved in the regulation of autophagy.
The class III PI3K complex, type II is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. It interacts with various signaling molecules and autophagy proteins, influencing the formation of the autophagosome. The complex is activated by specific stimuli, such as nutrient starvation or cellular stress.
Upon activation, the complex generates PtdIns3P, which acts as a recruitment signal. This signaling molecule attracts various autophagy proteins to the nascent autophagosome membrane, leading to the formation of a double-membrane vesicle. These autophagosomes engulf cellular components, like damaged organelles or misfolded proteins, and deliver them to lysosomes for degradation and recycling.
The class III PI3K complex, type II is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis. It plays a critical role in autophagy, a fundamental process involved in cellular degradation and recycling. Disruptions in the function of this complex can lead to various cellular defects and pathologies, emphasizing its significance in cellular health.'
