Kinase A does not activate phosphatidylinositol phosphorylation in rat lymphocyte membranes.
The interaction of the dissociated catalytic subunit of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate-dependent protein kinase (kinase A) and phosphatidylinositol metabolism has been studied in rat spleen lymphocyte membranes. As reported previously (Sarkadi et al., FEBS Lett. 152: 195-198, 1983) addition of kinase A increased by about twofold the phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol in lymphocyte membranes at low ATP concentrations. However, we have found that this increase is an artifact of the assay conditions, and that the increase is a consequence of an inhibition of membrane adenosine triphosphatase activity by the protein kinase A. When lipid phosphorylation was measured under initial rate conditions, at high ATP concentrations, the increase was abolished. No effect of kinase A was observed on initial rates of the synthesis or hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol phosphate. No phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate was produced in the membranes under any of the assay conditions used.
