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. Here, we report the cryo-electron microscopy 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. Mutations at the p110γ-p101 and p110γ-adaptor binding domain interfaces 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.
I类B型磷酸肌醇3激酶（PI3K），即PI3Kγ，是免疫细胞功能的主要调节因子，也是癌症和炎症性疾病颇具前景的药物靶点。PI3Kγ发挥功能的关键在于p110γ催化亚基与p101或p84调节亚基的结合，这介导了G蛋白偶联受体的激活。在此，我们报道了异二聚体PI3Kγ复合物p110γ-p101的冷冻电镜结构。该结构揭示了催化亚基和调节亚基的独特组装方式，这与其他I类PI3K复合物不同。p101通过其Gβγ结合结构域介导激活，将异二聚体招募至细胞膜，并使得p110γ中的第二个Gβγ结合位点得以结合。p110γ-p101和p110γ-衔接子结合结构域界面处的突变增强了Gβγ激活。一种特异性结合p101-Gβγ界面的纳米抗体可阻断激活，为在体内研究和靶向p110γ-p101特异性信号事件提供了一种新工具。
