title: Purification and partial characterization of phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate kinase from rat liver plasma membranes. Further evidence for a stimulatory G-protein.
abstract: Phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PIP) kinase (E.C. 2.7.1.68) has been purified about 1200-fold from rat liver plasma membranes, taking advantage of affinity chromatography on quercetin-Sepharose as a novel step. The purified PIP kinase showed no contamination by the following enzyme activities: phosphatidylinositol (PI) kinase (EC 2.7.1.67), protein kinase C (EC 2.7.1.-), diacylglycerol kinase (EC 2.7.1.-), phospholipase C (EC 3.1.4.11), protein-tyrosine kinase (EC 2.7.1.112), alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1), triphosphoinositide phosphomonoesterase (EC 3.1.3.36), adenylate kinase (EC 2.7.4.3) and cAMP-dependent protein kinase (EC 2.7.1.37). The liver membrane enzyme requires high Mg2+ concentrations with a KM value of 10 mM. Ca2+ or Mn2+ could replace Mg2+ to a certain, though small, extent. Apparent KM values with respect to PIP and ATP were 10 and 65 microM, respectively. GTP was slightly utilized by the kinase as phosphate donor while CTP was not. Quercetin inhibited the enzyme with Ki = 34 microM. Extending our previous observations (Urumow, T. and Wieland, O.H. (1986) FEBS Lett. 207, 253-257 and Urumow, T. and Wieland, O.H. (1988) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 972, 232-238) [gamma S]pppG still stimulated the PIP kinase in extracts of solubilized liver membranes. 20-40% (NH4)2SO4 precipitation of the membrane extracts yielded a fraction that contained the bulk of enzyme activity but did not respond to stimulation by [gamma S]pppG any longer. This was restored by recombination with a protein fraction collected at 40-70% (NH4)2SO4 saturation, presumably containing a GTP binding protein and/or some other factor separated from the PIP kinase. In the reconstituted system [gamma S]pppG stimulated PIP kinase in a concentration dependent manner with maximal activation at 5 microM. This effect was not mimicked by [gamma S]pppA and was blocked by [beta S]ppG. These results strongly support our view that in liver membranes PIP kinase is regulated by a G-protein.
