Abstract: A phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PIP) kinase (EC 2.7.1.68) was purified from bovine brain membranes in a six-step procedure involving solubilization of the enzyme with 170 mM NaCl followed by chromatography on diethylaminoethyl-cellulose, phosphocellulose, Ultrogel AcA44, hydroxylapatite, and ATP-agarose. The enzyme preparation was nearly homogeneous and was purified 5,600-fold with a final specific activity of 85 nmol/min/mg of protein and a yield of 20%. Its molecular mass was 110 kilodaltons, as estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme was specific for PIP; phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol and diacylglycerol was not observed.
