Updated project metadata. The class IB phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), PI3K, is a master regulator of immune cell function, and is a promising drug target for both inflammatory diseases and cancer. Critical to PI3K function is the association of the p110 catalytic subunit to either a p101 or p84 regulatory subunit, which mediates regulation by G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Here, we report the first structure of a heterodimeric PI3K complex, p110-p101. This structure revealed a unique mode of assembly of catalytic and regulatory subunits distinct from that of other class I PI3K complexes. Multiple oncogenic mutations mapped to these novel interfaces led to increased activation by G. p101 mediates activation through its G binding domain, recruiting the complex to the membrane and allowing for engagement of a secondary site in p110. A nanobody that specifically binds to this p101-G interface blocks activation providing a novel tool to study p101-specific signaling events in vivo.
