Abstract
Investigation into the phosphatidylinositol kinase activities in bovine brain has revealed the presence of a type I PtdIns kinase activity. This classification is based upon potent inhibition by neutral detergent and the production of a phosphatidylinositol phosphate that can be distinguished from phosphatidyl-inositol-4-phosphate [PtdIns(4)P] by thin-layer chromatography. The enzyme has been substantially purified and the activity is associated with an 85-kDa polypeptide on SDS/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Analysis of the product confirms the identification of the enzyme as a type I PtdIns kinase. The purified kinase has been characterized with respect to substrate dependence (Mg2+, ATP, PtdIns), substrate presentation (pure lipid versus mixed micelle) and specificity [PtdIns versus PtdIns(4)P and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate].Entities:
