Phosphoinositides (PIs) are phosphorylated derivatives of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) that regulate many cellular and physiological processes. Most PIs act by serving as membrane docking sites for proteins harboring specific PI-binding domains so that the location and function of these proteins could be dynamically governed. The Phox (PX) domain represents a novel PI-binding module capable of regulating membrane targeting of about 47 mammalian proteins, 30 of which are tentatively referred to as sorting nexins (SNXs). Some SNXs have been implicated in regulating membrane trafficking in the endocytic pathway. We discuss here recent development and progress in the study of the PX domain-containing proteins.
