title: The hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate in membranes of Xenopus laevis oocytes: characteristics of a phosphomonoesterase.
abstract: 1. Phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns4P) is degraded by isolated membranes from Xenopus laevis oocytes. 2. Incubation of [4-32P]PtdIns4P with membranes yields only radioactive inorganic phosphate, indicating the presence of a phosphomonoesterase. 3. Membranes hydrolyze Ptd[2-3H]Ins4P to produce mainly Ptd[2-3H]Ins in the lipid phase. In this incubation [3H]inositol and inositol monophosphate appear in the water phase. 4. Membrane incubations of Ptd[2-3H]Ins4P carried out in the presence of excess non-radioactive Ins(1,4)P2 allows the trapping of small amounts of [3H]Ins(1,4)P2. These results demonstrate the presence of a phospholipase C. 5. Testing several phosphorylated analogs, it is determined that fructose 1,6-bisphosphate and alpha-glycerophosphate are potent inhibitors of the oocyte PtdIns4P phosphomonoesterase.
