title: Separation and identification of two phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase activities in bovine uterus.
abstract: Growth factor-activated second messenger pathways are mediated in part via breakdown products of phosphoinositides. We have separated two phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 4-Kinases from bovine uteri which appear to be regulated independently. The predominant type II enzyme previously was purified to apparent homogeneity; the type I enzyme has been purified approximately 1000 fold (specific activity, approximately 30 nmoles/mg/min). The type I and type II enzymes differ sharply in apparent Km for ATP and response to divalent cations. In contrast to type II enzyme, type I PtdIns kinase was resistant to inhibition by adenosine, inhibited by increasing concentrations of Triton X-100, and less stable to storage than type II enzyme at pH values below 6.5 and above 8.5. Type I PtdIns 4-kinase has an apparent molecular mass of approximately 200 kD and type II enzyme of approximately 80 kD. Using both enzymatic and chemical criteria, both enzymes specifically phosphorylated the fourth hydroxyl group of PtdIns. The results thus establish the presence of two distinct and separate enzymes catalyzing PtdIns 4-kinase activity with different physical, kinetic, and regulatory properties, suggesting an important site for the regulation of second messenger signals transducing the responsiveness of cells to growth factors.
