At the Golgi membrane, phosphatidylinositol (PI) is exchanged for phosphatidylcholine (PC) within the phosphatidylinositol transfer protein beta isoform (PITPNB) complex (Tilley et al. 2004, Yolder et al. 2001, Carvou et al. 2010, Schouten et al. 2002, Vordtriede et al. 2005, Shadan et al. 2008).
At the ER membrane, phosphatidylcholine (PC) is exchanged for phosphatidylinositol (PI) within the phosphatidylinositol transfer protein beta isoform (PITPNB) complex (Tilley et al. 2004, Yolder et al. 2001, Carvou et al. 2010, Schouten et al. 2002, Vordtriede et al. 2005, Shadan et al. 2008).
The complex between phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylinositol transfer protein beta isoform (PITPNB) transports from the Golgi membrane to the ER membrane (Carvou et al. 2010, Shadan et al. 2008).
The phosphatidylinositol transfer protein beta isoform (PITPNB) bound to phosphatidylinositol (PI) complex transports from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane to the Golgi membrane (Carvou et al. 2010, Shadan et al. 2008).
The phosphatidylinositol transfer protein beta isoform (PITPNB) bound to phosphatidylinositol (PI) complex transports from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane to the Golgi membrane, where phosphatidylcholine (PC) is exchanged for PI. PITPNB now in complex with PC transports back to the ER membrane where PI is now exchanged for PC, and the cycle repeats. This process has been characterized in detail in bovine and rodent model systems (e.g., Wirtz et al. 2006; Ghosh and Bankaitis 2011), which provide a framework for organizing the more limited data available for the very well conserved human proteins and processes( Carvou et al. 2010, Shadan et al. 2008).
