The spatial activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) signaling at the axon growth cone generates phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5 trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3), which localizes and facilitates Akt activation and stimulates GSK-3
inactivation, promoting microtubule polymerization and axon elongation. However, the molecular mechanisms that govern the spatial down-regulation of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 signaling at the growth cone remain undetermined. The inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatases (5-phosphatase) hydrolyze the 5-position phosphate from phosphatidylinositol 4,5 bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2) and/or PtdIns(3,4,5)P3. We demonstrate here that PIPP, an uncharacterized 5-phosphatase, hydrolyzes PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 forming PtdIns(3,4)P2, decreasing Ser473-Akt phosphorylation. PIPP is expressed in PC12 cells, localizing to the plasma membrane of undifferentiated cells and the neurite shaft and growth cone of NGF-differentiated neurites. Overexpression of wild-type, but not catalytically-inactive PIPP, in PC12 cells inhibited neurite elongation. Targeted depletion of PIPP using RNA interference (RNAi) resulted in enhanced neurite differentiation, associated with neurite hyper-elongation. Inhibition of PI3-kinase activity prevented neurite hyper-elongation in PIPP-deficient cells. PIPP targeted-depletion resulted in increased phospho-Ser473-Akt and phospho-Ser9-GSK-3
, specifically at the neurite growth cone, and accumulation of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 at this site, associated with enhanced microtubule polymerization in the neurite shaft. PIPP therefore inhibits PI3-kinase-dependent neurite elongation in PC12 cells, via regulation of the spatial distribution of phospho-Ser473-Akt and phospho-Ser9-GSK-3
signaling.
