The physiological functions of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns)-transfer proteins (PITPs)/phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho)-transfer proteins are poorly characterized, even though these proteins are conserved throughout the eukaryotic kingdom. Much of the progress in elucidating PITP functions has come from exploitation of genetically tractable model organisms, but the mechanisms for how PITPs execute their biological activities remain unclear. Structural and molecular dynamics approaches are filling in the details for how these proteins actually work as molecules. In the present paper, we discuss our recent work with Sec14-like PITPs and describe how PITPs integrate diverse territories of the lipid metabolome with phosphoinositide signalling.

Regulation of daily physiological functions with a ~24-hour periodicity, or circadian rhythms, exists in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. So far, cyanobacteria are only known prokaryotes proved to have circadian rhythmicity. The circadian system in cyanobacteria comprises a post-translational oscillator (PTO) and a transcriptional/translational feedback loop (TTFL). The PTO comprise of three proteins (KaiA, KaiB, KaiC), and can be reconstituted in vitro with the existence of ATP. Phase of the PTO is associated with the phosphorylation states of KaiC, with KaiA promoting the phosphorylation of KaiC, and KaiB promoting the de-phosphorylation. Here we studied the dynamics of the KaiA protein ofThermosynechococcus elongatus. The result will be helpful in understanding the function of KaiA and its binding with KaiC.
