title: Purification and properties of inositol-1,4-bisphosphatase from bovine brain.
abstract: Inositol-1,4-bisphosphatase has been purified 13,000-fold from bovine brain supernatant. The enzyme is monomeric, with an apparent subunit Mr of 40,000. Maximal hydrolytic rates were observed in Tris buffer, pH 7.8, in the presence of 9 mM-Mg2+. The enzyme acted as a 1-phosphatase, hydrolysing both inositol 1,4-bisphosphate [Ins(1,4)P2] (Km 0.04 mM) and inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate [Ins(1,3,4)P3] (Km 0.5 mM) to inositol 4-phosphate and inositol 3,4-bisphosphate respectively. Li+ inhibited the hydrolysis of both substrates in an uncompetitive manner, with apparent Ki values of 9.63 mM and 0.46 mM for Ins(1,4)P2 and Ins(1,3,4)P3 respectively.
