Notes: PIKfyve is a phosphoinositide kinase (PIK) that contains a FYVE-type zinc finger domain, which binds phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI3P). PIKfyve phosphorylates PI3P to produce PI-(3,5)-P2, which is involved in cellular processes including membrane trafficking and cytoskeletal reorganization. YM-201636 is a cell-permeable and selective inhibitor of PIKfyve (IC50 = 33 nM).{18015} It reversibly impairs endosomal trafficking in NIH3T3 cells, mimicking the effect produced by depleting PIKfyve with siRNA.{18015} YM-201636 also blocks retroviral exit by budding from cells, apparently by interfering with the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) machinery.{18015} In adipocytes, YM-201636 also inhibits basal and insulin-activated 2-deoxyglucose uptake (IC50 = 54 nM).{18016}
