Endoplasmic reticulum plasma membrane (ER PM) contact sites play an integral role in cellular processes such as excitation contraction coupling and store-operated calcium entry (SOCE). Another ER PM assembly is one tethered by the extended synaptotagmins (E-Syt). We have discovered that at steady state, E-Syt2 positions the ER and Sad, an integral ER membrane lipid phosphatase, in discrete ER PM junctions. Here, Sac1 participates in phosphoinositide homeostasis by limiting PM phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI(4)P), the precursor of PI(4,5)P-2. Activation of G protein-coupled receptors that deplete PM PI(4,5)P2 disrupts E-Syt2 mediated ER-PM junctions, reducing Sac1's access to the PM and permitting PM PI(4)P and PI(4,5)P2 to recover. Conversely, depletion of ER luminal calcium and subsequent activation of SOCE increases the amount of Sac1 in contact with the PM, depleting PM PI(4)P. Thus, the dynamic presence of Sac1 at ER-PM contact sites allows it to act as a cellular sensor and controller of PM phosphoinositides, thereby influencing many PM processes.
