Endosomal trafficking is regulated by the recruitment of effector proteins to phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns(3)P) on early endosomes. At the plasma membrane, phosphatidylinositol-(3,4)-bisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4)P2) binds the PH domain-containing proteins Akt and TAPP-1. Type I
inositol polyphosphate 4-phosphatase (4-phosphatase) dephosphorylates PtdIns(3,4)P2 forming PtdIns(3)P, but its subcellular localization is unknown. We report here in quiescent cells, the 4-phosphatase colocalized with early and recycling endosomes. On growth factor stimulation 4-phosphatase endosomal localization persisted, but in addition the 4-phosphatase localized at the plasma membrane. Overexpression of the 4-phosphatase in serum-stimulated cells increased cellular PtdIns3-P levels and prevented wortmannin-induced endosomal dilatation. Furthermore, mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) from homozygous Weeble mice, which have a mutation in the type I 4-phosphatase, exhibited dilated early endosomes. 4-phosphatase translocation to the plasma membrane upon growth factor stimulation inhibited the recruitment of the TAPP-1 PH domain. The 4-phosphatase contains C2 domains which bound PtdIns(3,4)P2 and C2-domain-deletion mutants lost PtdIns(3,4)P2 4-phosphatase activity, did not localize to endosomes, or inhibit TAPP-1-PH domain membrane recruitment. The 4-phosphatase therefore both generates and terminates PI 3-kinase signals at distinct subcellular locations.
