Purification and characterization of a phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase from bovine uteri.
Phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase has been purified 10,148-fold to a specific activity of 2.7 mumol/mg/min from bovine uteri. This purification was accomplished by detergent extraction of an acetone powder, ammonium sulfate precipitation, and chromatography on MonoQ, S-Sepharose, MonoP, and hydroxylapatite columns. The purified enzyme has a molecular mass of 55 kDa and appears to be monomeric. Kinetic analyses of the enzymatic activity demonstrated apparent Km values of 18 microM and 22 micrograms/ml (approximately 26 microM) for ATP and phosphatidylinositol, respectively, optimal activity in the pH range of 6.0-7.0, and a sigmoidal dependence of enzymatic activity on [Mg2+]. Ca2+ inhibited the enzyme at nonphysiological concentrations with 50% inhibition observed at a free [Ca2+] of approximately 300 microM. The purified enzyme efficiently utilized both ATP and 2'-deoxy-ATP as phosphoryl donors and specifically phosphorylated phosphatidylinositol on the fourth position. No phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase activity was observed in the purified enzyme preparations. To our knowledge, this is the first reported purification of a phosphatidylinositol-specific phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase.
