Abstract: Phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(3,5)P-2), made by Fab1p, is essential for vesicle recycling from vacuole/lysosomal compartments and for protein sorting into multivesicular bodies. To isolate PtdIns(3,5)P-2 effectors, we identified Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants that display fab1Delta-like vacuole enlargement, one of which lacked the SVP1/YFR021w/ATG18 gene. Expressed Svp1p displays PtdIns(3,5)P-2 binding of exquisite specificity, GFP-Svp1p localises to the vacuole membrane in a Fab1p-dependent manner, and Svp1Delta cells fail to recycle a marker protein from the vacuole to the Golgi. Cells lacking Svp1p accumulate abnormally large amounts of PtdIns(3,5)P-2. These observations identify Svp1p as a PtdIns(3,5)P-2 effector required for PtdIns(3,5)P-2-dependent membrane recycling from the vacuole. Other Svp1p-related proteins, including human and Drosophila homologues, bind PtdIns(3,5)P-2 similarly. Svp1p and related proteins almost certainly fold as beta-propellers, and the PtdIns(3,5)P-2-binding site is on the beta-propeller. It is likely that many of the Svp1p-related proteins that are ubiquitous throughout the eukaryotes are PtdIns(3,5)P-2 effectors. Svp1p is not involved in the contributions of FAB1/PtdIns(3,5)P-2 to MVB sorting or to vacuole acidification and so additional PtdIns(3,5)P-2 effectors must exist.
