Regulation of the 45- and 55-kDa forms of phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae by nucleotides.
The synthesis of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 4-phosphate and PI 4,5-bisphosphate in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is stimulated by glucose. PI 4-kinase (ATP:phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.67) catalyzes the committed step in the synthesis of these phosphoinositides. Previous studies have suggested that the glucose effect on phosphoinositide synthesis is mediated by cellular levels of ATP and ADP and by the RAS/cAMP pathway. Using purified preparations of the membrane-associated 45- and 55-kDa forms of PI 4-kinase, we examined the regulation of these activities by nucleotides and cAMP-dependent protein kinase. MgADP was a potent inhibitor of both forms of the enzyme. Detailed kinetic analyses of the 45- and 55-kDa enzymes using Triton X-100/PI-mixed micelles showed that MgADP was a competitive inhibitor (Ki = 0.14 and 0.25 mM, respectively) with respect to MgATP and a noncompetitive inhibitor (Ki = 1.3 and 0.9 mM, respectively) with respect to PI. The Ki values for MgADP were about 2-fold lower than the Km values the enzymes have for their substrate MgATP and about 2-fold lower than the cellular concentration of ADP. The 45- and 55-kDa forms of PI 4-kinase activity were regulated differentially by CTP, an important nucleotide involved in phospholipid biosynthesis. Whereas the 55-kDa PI 4-kinase was inhibited by CTP, the 45-kDa enzyme was unaffected by CTP. CTP was a mixed type of inhibitor (Ki = 1.5 mM) with respect to MgATP and a noncompetitive inhibitor (Ki = 4 mM) with respect to PI. The Ki value for CTP was 4-fold higher than the Km value for MgATP and 7-fold higher than the cellular concentration of CTP. The 45- and 55-kDa PI 4-kinases were neither phosphorylated nor regulated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. These results did not support the previous conclusion that PI 4-phosphate synthesis was mediated by the RAS/cAMP pathway. Our kinetic studies supported the conclusion that the glucose effect on the synthesis of PI 4-phosphate was mediated by cellular levels of ATP and ADP through the regulation of membrane-associated PI 4-kinase activity.
