One class of enzymes involved in lipid synthesis are lipins. Lipins are magnesium-dependent phosphatidic acid phosphatases that produce diacylglycerol, playing key roles in TAG synthesis, de novo phospholipid synthesis and metabolism. Here, we review recent advances on the structure, function, and regulation of lipins with a particular focus on the structural impacts of missense mutations associated with rhabdomyolysis, Majeed syndrome and neuropathies. Structural insights reveal that while some disease-associated mutations directly disrupt catalysis, many missense mutations are not near the active site, but still play a key role in PAP activity. With the resolved crystal structure of a lipin homolog Tt Pah2, AlphaFold, and AlphaMissense it has become increasingly possible to predict the pathogenicity and structural contributions of individual residues and mutations.

Because FBP limits the energy-producing potential of cells and because a reduction of FBP amounts is observed in cancer cells, FBP is considered to be an anti-oncogenic protein. This is supported by the observation that cancer cells overexpress aldolase A (ALDOA), a pro-oncogenic protein that can bind to FBP and potentially block its anti-oncogenic activity.

A particularly interesting yet incompletely understood aspect of regulation of TGN/endosome function is control of this system by two families of lipid exchange/lipid transfer proteins. The phosphatidylinositol transfer proteins promote pro-trafficking phosphoinositide (i.e. phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate) signaling pathways whereas proteins of the oxysterol binding protein family play reciprocal roles in antagonizing those arms of phosphoinositide signaling. The precise mechanisms for how these lipid binding proteins execute their functions remain to be resolved.

A common feature of the superfamily is that they have very low basal activity that can be greatly increased by a range of regulatory factors. Activators reconfigure the active site, causing a subtle realignment of the N-lobe of the kinase domain relative to the C-lobe. This realignment brings the ATP-binding loop in the N-lobe closer to the catalytic residues in the C-lobe. In addition, a conserved C-lobe feature known as the PIKK regulatory domain (PRD) also can change conformation, and PI3K activators can alter an analogous PRD-like region. Recent structures have shown that diverse activating influences can trigger these conformational changes, and a helical region clamping onto the kinase domain transmits regulatory interactions to bring about the active site realignment for more efficient catalysis. A recent report of a small-molecule activator of PI3Kα for application in nerve regeneration suggests that flexibility of these regulatory elements might be exploited to develop specific activators of all PI3K superfamily members. These activators could have roles in wound healing, anti-stroke therapy and treating neurodegeneration.
