Abstract

Type I phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5 kinase γ (PIP5KIγ) constitutes a major pathway for the generation of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2) that regulates a variety of neuronal functions at both presynaptic and postsynaptic compartments. In this study, we examined the expression and localization of PIP5KIγ in the adult mouse retina. RT-PCR analysis revealed that PIP5KIγ_v2 was predominantly expressed in the retina while PIP5KIγ_v3 was also expressed faintly. Immunostaining of the adult mouse retina revealed intense PIP5KIγ-immunoreactivity in the inner and outer plexiform layers in a punctate manner. In the photoreceptor ribbon synapse, PIP5KIγ was highly concentrated at the periactive zone. These findings suggest that PIP5KIγ, especially PIP5KIγ_i2, is localized at the periactive zone, a functionally suitable compartment for the endocytosis of synaptic vesicles in photoreceptor ribbon synapses.
