L-myo-inositol 1,4,5,6-tetrakisphosphate (3-hydroxy)kinase.


ABSTRACT: Homogenates of primary-cultured murine bone macrophages contain an enzyme capable of synthesizing myo-[3H]inositol pentakisphosphate from myo-[3H]inositol tetrakisphosphate fractions derived from myo-[3H]inositol-labelled mouse macrophages and chick erythrocytes. D-myo-inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakis[32P]-phosphate present in the same incubations was not phosphorylated. Since the myo-[3H]inositol-labelled tetrakisphosphate fractions used as substrates consist of a mixture of L-myo-inositol 1,4,5,6-tetrakisphosphate (60-85%) and a periodate-resistant tetrakisphosphate(s) whose characteristics are consistent with those of D-myo-inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (the preceding paper [Stephens, Hawkins, Carter, Chahwala, Morris, Whetton & Downes (1988) Biochem. J. 249, 271-282] ), these data suggest the existence of a kinase that phosphorylates L-myo-inositol 1,4,5,6-tetrakisphosphate to give a myo-inositol pentakisphosphate. A similar activity was identified in homogenates of rat cerebrum, liver, heart and parotid gland. D-myo-Inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakis[32P]phosphate in the same incubations was not a substrate. The activity was almost entirely soluble in all the tissues investigated and was found at its greatest specific activity in brain cytosol. The activity was purified 120-fold from a rat brain homogenate by (NH4)2SO4 fractionation and anion-exchange chromatography. The activity was clearly distinct from D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (3-hydroxy)kinase. Incubation of this partially purified preparation with L-myo-[3H]inositol 1,4,5,6-tetrakisphosphate from chick erythrocytes and [gamma-32P]ATP resulted in the formation of L-myo-[3H]-inositol [1-32P]1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate. The enzyme is therefore identified as an L-myo-inositol 1,4,5,6-tetrakisphosphate (3-hydroxy)kinase.
