| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The spatio-temporal regulation of phosphoinositide generation is critical for endocytosis. However, the precise localization of individual phosphoinositide remains unclear, due to the technical difficulty in visualizing membrane lipids. In the present study, the quick-freezing and freeze-fracture replica labeling method was applied to reveal the distribution of phosphoinositides during endocytosis. The specific labeling of PI(3,4)P2 and PI(3,5)P2 were established. Notably, PI(3,5)P2 was found to be heterogeneously distributed in the tubular endosome.
