Phosphatidylinositol(4,5)-bisphosphate (PtdInsP2) is an important modulator of many cellular processes, and its abundance in the plasma membrane is closely regulated. We examined the hypothesis that members of the Dishevelled scaffolding protein family can bind the lipid kinases phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase (PI4K) and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase (PIP5K), facilitating synthesis of PtdInsP2 directly from phosphatidylinositol. We used several assays for PtdInsP2 to examine the cooperative function of phosphoinositide kinases and the Dishevelled protein Dvl3 in the context of two receptor signaling cascades. Simultaneous overexpression of PI4KIIIα (also known as PI4KA) and PIP5KIγ (also known as PIP5K1C) had a synergistic effect on PtdInsP2 synthesis that was recapitulated by overexpression of Dvl3. Increasing the activity of Dvl3 by overexpression increased resting plasma membrane PtdInsP2. Knockdown of Dvl3 reduced resting plasma membrane PtdInsP2 and slowed PtdInsP2 resynthesis following receptor activation. We confirm that Dvl3 promotes coupling of PI4KIIIα and PIP5KIγ and show that this interaction is essential for efficient resynthesis of PtdInsP2 following receptor activation.
