title: Type 2 phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase is recruited to CD4 in response to CD4 cross-linking.
abstract: CD4 serves as a cell-cell adhesion molecule, with specific affinity for class II MHC molecules, and as a receptor for the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) viral coat protein. Phosphoinositide (PI)-3-kinase and 1-phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns)-4-kinase activities were previously found to associate with the CD4:p56lck complex, but the protein responsible for PtdIns 4-kinase activity was not identified. Here we demonstrate that the 53 kDa type 2 PtdIns 4-kinase associates with CD4 using a monoclonal antibody specific for this enzyme. We also show that an increase in PtdIns 4-kinase activity is due to recruitment of the type 2 PtdIns 4-kinase protein to the CD4:p56lck complex after cross-linking with anti-CD4.
