Structure of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase p110γ-p101 complex reveals molecular mechanism of GPCR activation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The class IB phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), PI3Kγ, is a master regulator of immune cell function, and a promising drug target for both cancer and inflammatory diseases. Critical to PI3Kγ function is the association of the p110γ catalytic subunit to either a p101 or p84 regulatory subunit, which mediates activation by G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Here, we report the cryo-EM structure of a heterodimeric PI3Kγ complex, p110γ-p101. This structure reveals a unique assembly of catalytic and regulatory subunits that is distinct from other class I PI3K complexes. p101 mediates activation through its Gβγ binding domain, recruiting the heterodimer to the membrane and allowing for engagement of a secondary Gβγ binding site in p110γ. Multiple oncogenic mutations mapped to these novel interfaces and enhanced Gβγ activation. A nanobody that specifically binds to the p101-Gβγ interface blocks activation providing a novel tool to study and target p110γ-p101-specific signaling events in vivo .

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
