title: Evidence that 3'-phosphorylated polyphosphoinositides are generated at the nuclear surface: use of immunostaining technique with monoclonal antibodies specific for PI 3,4-P(2).
abstract: Phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3,4-P(2) is a phosphoinositide that has been shown to be important for signal transduction in growth factor stimulation. We have produced monoclonal antibodies specific for PI 3,4-P(2), which were able to detect PI 3,4-P(2) generated in 293T cells treated with H(2)O(2), or in MKN45/BD110 cells expressing activated PI 3-kinase in immunostaining. Prolonged treatment with 0.05% Tween 20 resulted in detection of staining not only at the plasma membrane, but also at the nuclear surface, indicating that 3'-phosphorylated phosphoinositides can be generated and function in the nucleus.
