title: Differential association of phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate 4-kinase with the EGF/ErbB family of receptors.
abstract: Phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate 4-kinase (PIP4K) is required for the production of phosphoinositol-4,5-hisphosphate (PIP2), which has been closely associated with growth factor signalling. Here we have tested the possibility that phosphoinositide kinases may be take part in signal transduction through interactions with the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor and the ErbB family of tyrosine kinase receptors. Interactions of the Type IIbeta isoform of PIP4K were observed with the EGF receptor family members in a number of diverse cell lines, including A431, PC12 and MCF7 cells but not with the N6F TrkA receptor. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments indicate that PIP4K interacts with not only the EGF receptor, but also selectively with members of the ErbB tyrosine kinase family. These results demonstrate another enzyme substrate for EGF receptors that facilitates the production of phosphoinositides at the cell membrane.
