Phosphatidylinositol kinase. A component of the chromaffin-granule membrane.
Phosphorylation of bovine chromaffin granules by ATP leads to the formation of diphosphoinositide in the granule membrane. Both phosphatidylinositol kinase and its substrate are components of this membrane, and triphosphoinositide is not formed under the conditions of the assay. The reaction is Mg(2+)-dependent and is stimulated by Mn(2+) and F(-) ions. The initial reaction is rapid, with a broad pH profile and a ;transition' temperature for its activation energy at 27 degrees C. The apparent K(m) for ATP is 5mum. ATP, N-ethylmaleimide, Cu(2+) ions and NaIO(4) are inhibitory. The phospholipids of chromaffin-granule membranes have been analysed: 6.8% of the lipid P is found in phosphatidylinositol, and only 2-3% in phosphatidylserine. Comparison of the rate of phosphorylation of intact and lysed granules suggests that the sites for phosphorylation are on the outer (cytoplasmic) surface of the granules, and diphosphoinositide may therefore make an important contribution to the charge of the chromaffin granule in vivo.
