摘要
Phospholipids are important components of cellular signalling pathways and of cell membranes. Two papers in this issue now suggest that phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate, a key player in phospholipid synthesis, can be produced by an alternative pathway that involves an enzyme identified nearly a decade ago and a novel lipid substrate. Another newly discovered inositol lipid in this pathway, phosphatidylinositol-3,5-bisphosphate, appears to be involved in the response to osmotic stress in yeast and in mammalian cells.
