PI3Ks (Phosphoinositide 3-Kinases) are an important type of lipid kinase that form a large evolutionarily conserved family of enzymes that specifically phosphorylate inositol phospholipids at the D-3 position of the inositol ring. The C. elegans (Caenorhabditis elegans) PI3K is required for functional membrane trafficking machinery (Ref.1). C. elegans PI3K adaptor subunit aap-1 (Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase age-1 Adapter Subunit-58.5 KD) shares moderate sequence similarity with the p50/p55 adaptor subunits of their vertebra...
