title: Evidence for a cholera-toxin-sensitive G-protein involved in the regulation of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate kinase of rat liver membranes.
abstract: Studies on the phosphorylation of inositol phospholipids of rat liver membranes have shown that [gamma S]pppG stimulates 32P incorporation from [gamma-32P]ATP into PI and PIP. This effect appeared specific for stable GTP analogues and could not be reproduced by other compounds. ADP-ribosylation of the membranes with cholera toxin resulted in a large decrease of PIP2 without changes in the level of PIP. Since an activation of phospholipase C can be ruled out, the lowering of PIP2 is explained on the basis of an inhibition of PIP kinase (EC 2.7.1.68). From these results it appears that a novel cholera-toxin-sensitive G-protein is involved in the regulation of PIP kinase.
