The yeast phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase Pik1p is essential for proliferation and controls Golgi homeostasis and transport of newly synthesized proteins from this compartment. At the Golgi, phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate recruits multiple cytosolic effectors involved in formation of post-Golgi transport vesicles. A second pool of catalytically active Pik1p localizes to the nucleus. The physiological significance and regulation of this dual localization of the lipid kinase remains unknown. Here we show that Pik1p binds to the redundant 14–3-3 proteins Bmh1p and Bmh2p. We provide evidence that nucleo-cytoplasmic shuttling of Pik1p involves phosphorylation and that 14–3-3 proteins bind Pik1p in the cytoplasm. Nutrient deprivation results in relocation of Pik1p from the Golgi to the nucleus and increases the amount of Pik1p - 14–3-3 complex, a process reversed upon restored nutrient supply. These data suggest a role of Pik1p nucleo-cytoplasmic shuttling in coordination of biosynthetic transport from the Golgi with nutrient signaling.
