The tumor suppressor PTEN dephosphorylates PtdIns(3,4,5)P<sub>3</sub> into PtdIns(4,5)P<sub>2</sub> Here, we make the unexpected discovery that in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> PTEN reduces PtdIns(4,5)P<sub>2</sub> levels on endosomes, independently of its phosphatase activity. This new PTEN function requires the enzymatic action of dPLCXD, an atypical phospholipase C. Importantly, we discovered that this novel PTEN/dPLCXD pathway can compensate for depletion of dOCRL, a PtdIns(4,5)P<sub>2</sub ...[more]
