Type 1 phosphotidylinosotol-4 phosphate 5 kinase γ (PIP5KIγ) is central to generation of phosphotidylinosotol (4,5)P(2) (PI(4,5)P(2)). PIP5KIγ also participates in cytoskeletal organization by delivering talin to integrins, thereby enhancing their ligand binding capacity. As the cytoskeleton is pivotal to osteoclast function, we hypothesized that absence of PIP5KIγ would compromise their resorptive capacity. Absence of the kinase diminishes PI(4,5) abundance and desensitizes precursors to RANK l ...[more]
