The synthesis and turnover of the phosphoinositides PIP’ and PIP, play a significant role in intracellular signaling in higher eucaryotic organisms (1, 2). Because of its tractable molecular genetic system, the yeast Saccharomyces cereuisiae is being used as a model eucaryote to examine the regulation of phosphoinositide metabolism. PIP and PIP2 were first discovered in S. cereuisiae by Lester and Steiner (3). These phosphoinositides are localized to the plasma membrane (4), and their metabolism is regulated by glucose (5,6), ATP levels (4, 5), and sterol (7, 8). Studies using antibodies directed against PIP2 have shown that PIPz or its hydrolysis products play an essential role in S. cereuisiae proliferation (9).

PI 4-kinase (ATP:phosphatidylinositol4-phosphotransfer- ase, EC 2.7.1.67) catalyzes the formation of PIP and ADP from PI and ATP (10). This enzyme catalyzes the committed step in the synthesis of the phosphoinositides in S. cereuisiae (11).

Page 2: Purification, Characterization, and Kinetic Analysis of a 55-kDa Form

16298 Yeast 55-kDa PI 4-Kinase from Rohm and Haas Co. DE52 (DEAE-cellulose) and silica gel- loaded SG8l chromatography paper were purchased from Whatman, Inc. Silica Gel 60 thin-layer chromatography plates were from EM Science. Hydroxylapatite (Bio-Gel HT), molecular mass standards for electrophoresis, electrophoresis reagents, isoelectric focusing re- agents, and immunochemical reagents were purchased from Bio-Rad. Q-Sepharose and the Mono Q chromatography column were from Pharmacia LKB Biotechnology, Inc. 3ZP-Labeled PIP was prepared as described previously (11).

Methods

Growth Conditions

Wild-type S. cerevisiae strain ade5 MATa (16, 17) was used for enzyme purification. The organism was maintained on YEPD (1% yeast extract, 2% peptone, 2% dextrose) media plates containing 2% Bacto-agar. Cells were grown in YEPD medium a t 28 "C to late exponential phase, harvested by centrifugation, and stored at -80 "C (18).

Purification of the 45-kDa PI 4-Kinase

The 45-kDa PI 4-kinase was purified to near homogeneity as described previously (11, 15). The specific activity of the purified enzyme was 3.9 pmol/min/mg.

Enzyme Assays and Protein Determination

PI 4-kinase activity was measured for 10 min at 30 "C by following the phosphorylation of PI with [y-32P]ATP (10,000-15,000 cpm/ nmol) as described previously (19). The reaction mixture for the 55- kDa PI 4-kinase contained 50 mM Tris maleate buffer (pH 7.0), 2.5 mM ATP, 10 mM MgC12, 0.2 mM PI, and 3.2 mM Triton x-100 in a total volume of 0.1 ml. The reaction mixture for the 45-kDa PI 4- kinase contained 50 mM Tris-HC1 buffer (pH 8.0), 2.5 mM ATP, 30 mM MgC12, 0.2 mM PI, and 12.5 mM Triton X-100 in a total volume of 0.1 ml. All assays were conducted in triplicate with an average standard deviation of & 5 %. All assays were linear with time and protein concentration. A unit of enzymatic activity was defined as the amount of enzyme that catalyzed the formation of 1 pmol of product/min. Specific activity was defined as units per mg of protein. Protein concentration was determined by the method of Bradford (20) using bovine serum albumin as the standard.

Product Identification

The 32P-labeled phospholipid products of the reactions catalyzed by the 55- and 45-kDa PI 4-kinases were extracted with chloroform (19) and analyzed by chromatography on CDTA-treated silica gel plates (21) using solvent system A and EDTA-treated SG81 paper (22) using solvent system B. Solvent system A (21) contained chlo- roform, methanol, pyridine, formic acid, water (2025:15:1:2.5) and 4 g of boric acid, and solvent system B (22) contained chloroform, methanol, and 2.5 M ammonium hydroxide (9:7:2). The positions of the labeled products on the chromatograms were determined by autoradiography and compared with standard phospholipids.

Electrophoresis, Isoelectric Focusing, and Immunoblotting Native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (23) was performed at

5 "C using 6% slab gels containing 0.5% Triton X-100. SDS-poly- acrylamide gel electrophoresis (24) was performed with 10% slab gels. Proteins on polyacrylamide gels were visualized by the silver stain procedure (25) or with Coomassie Blue. Isoelectric focusing (26) was performed as described by Morlock et al. (27). Immunoblot analyses (28, 29) of cell extracts and purified enzyme preparations were per- formed with purified antibodies to the 45-kDa PI 4-kinase protein (15).

Proteolysis

SDS-polyacrylamide gel slices containing the 55- and 45-kDa forms of PI 4-kinase were subjected to proteolysis using 100 ng of S. aureus V8 and 100 ng of TPCK-trypsin as described by Cleveland et al. (30). The proteolysis products were separated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis using 15% gels. The gels were doubled stained with Coomassie Blue and silver.

Amino Acid Analysis

The 55- and 45-kDa forms of PI 4-kinase on SDS-polyacrylamide gels were transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride paper and subjected

to amino acid composition analysis (31) by Mark P. Flocco at the Princeton University Microchemistry Core Facility.

Preparation and Analysis of Triton X-IOOIPI-mixed Micelles

PI in chloroform was transferred to a test tube, and solvent was removed in uacuo for 40 min. Uniform Triton X-lOO/PI-mixed mi- celles were prepared by adding Triton X-100 to the dried phospholipid and were analyzed by glycerol gradient centrifugation (15).

Glycerol Gradient Centrifugation

Glycerol gradient centrifugation was performed as described pre- viously (15) using 5 2 0 % glycerol gradients. The buffer system used throughout the gradient was 50 mM Tris-HC1 (pH 8.0), 0.35 mM Triton X-100, and 10 mM MgC1,.

Purification of 55-kDa PI 4-Kinase

All steps were performed at 5-8 "C. Step I: Preparation of Cell Extract-The cell extract was prepared

from 200 g (wet weight) of cells by disruption with glass beads in 50 mM Tris maleate (pH 7.0), 1 mM Na,EDTA, 0.3 M sucrose, 10 mM 2- mercaptoethanol, and 1 mM PMSF (11).

Step 2: Preparation of Microsomes-Microsome membranes were isolated from the cell extract by differential centrifugation (18). Microsomes were washed in Buffer A (50 mM Tris-HC1 (pH 8.0), 10 mM MgC12, 10 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, 10% glycerol, and 1 mM PMSF) and frozen at -80 "C until used for purification.

Step 3: Preparation of Triton X-I00 Extract-PI 4-kinase activity was extracted from microsomes using 1% Triton X-100 in Buffer A at a final protein concentration of 10 mg/ml(11). PI 4-kinase activity was very labile after solubilization with Triton X-100 and was used immediately for the next step in the purification.

Step 4: DE52 Chromatography-A DE52 column (2.5 X 5 cm) was equilibrated with Buffer B (50 mM Tris-HC1 (pH 8.0), 10 mM MgCl,, 10 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, 10% glycerol, 1 mM PMSF, and 0.5% Triton X-100). The Triton X-100 extract was applied to the column followed by the washing of the column with 5 column volumes of Buffer B. PI 4-kinase activity was eluted from the DE52 column with Buffer B containing 0.3 M NaCl a t a flow rate of 50 ml/h. A step elution was used to expedite the recovery of the enzyme due to activity lability at this stage in the purification. Fractions containing PI 4- kinase activity were pooled and immediately used for the next step in the purification scheme.

Step 5: Hydroxylapatite Chromatography I-A hydroxylapatite col- umn (2.5 X 3 cm) was equilibrated with Buffer C (10 mM potassium phosphate (pH 8.0), 10 mM MgCI,, 10 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, 10% glycerol, 1 PMSF, and 0.5% Triton X-100). The enzyme preparation from the previous step was diluted 4:l with Buffer C and applied to the column. The column was washed with 3 column volumes of Buffer C followed by elution of the enzyme with 10 column volumes of a linear potassium phosphate gradient (0.01-0.3 M) in Buffer C at a flow rate of 15 ml/h. Two peaks of PI 4-kinase activity eluted from the column at phosphate concentrations of about 0.04 and 0.12 M. The most active fractions under the second peak of PI 4-kinase activity were pooled and dialyzed against Buffer B. The hydroxylapa- tite enzyme preparation was completely stable and could be frozen at -80 "C until used for the next step in the purification scheme.

Step 6: Q-Sepharose Chromatography-A Q-Sepharose column (2.5 x 7 cm) was equilibrated with Buffer B. Enzyme from the previous step was applied to the column at a flow rate of 25 ml/h. The column was washed with 10 column volumes of Buffer B followed by elution of the enzyme with 10 column volumes of a linear NaCl gradient (0- 0.3 M) in Buffer B. The peak of PI 4-kinase activity eluted from the column at 0.17 M NaCl. The most active fractions were pooled and dialyzed against Buffer B.

Step 7: Mono Q Chromatography-A Mono Q column (0.5 X 5 cm) was equilibrated with Buffer B. Q-Sepharose-purified enzyme was applied to the column at a flow rate of 60 ml/h. The column was washed with 10 column volumes of Buffer B followed by elution of the enzyme with 40 column volumes of a linear NaCl gradient (0- 0.25 M) in Buffer B. The peak of PI 4-kinase activity eluted at a NaCl concentration of 0.18 M. Fractions containing activity were pooled and dialyzed against Buffer C.

Step 8: Hydroxylapatite Chromatography 11-A second hydroxyl- apatite column (1.5 X 7 cm) was equilibrated with Buffer C. Enzyme from the Mono Q step was applied to the column at a flow rate of 5 ml/h. The column was washed with 10 volumes of Buffer C. PI 4- kinase activity was eluted from the column with 10 volumes of a linear potassium phosphate gradient (0-0.2 M) in Buffer C. The peak

of PI 4-kinase activity eluted at 0.18 M potassium phosphate. Frac- tions containing activity were pooled and stored at -80 "C. The purified enzyme was completely stable for at least 2 months.

RESULTS

Purification of 55-kDa PI 4-Kinase

A summary of the purification of the 55-kDa PI 4-kinase is shown in Table I. PI 4-kinase activity was solubilized from the microsomes with 1% Triton X-100 followed by purifica- tion in the presence of Triton X-100 by conventional chro- matography steps. The hydroxylapatite I (10.3-fold) and the Mono Q (36.7-fold) chromatography steps afforded the great- est enrichments in specific activity in the purification. In addition to providing a 10-fold purification of the enzyme, the hydroxylapatite I chromatography step separated the 55-kDa PI 4-kinase from the 45-kDa form of the enzyme. Two peaks of PI 4-kinase activity eluted from the hydroxylapatite I column (Fig. 1). The enzyme under the second peak of activity was the 55-kDa PI 4-kinase, whereas the enzyme under the first peak of activity was the 45-kDa form of the enzyme (11, 15). Overall, the enzyme was purified 10,166-fold over the cell extract with an activity yield of 6.5% to a final specific activity of 5 pmol/min/mg (Table I).

The purification scheme resulted in the isolation of a major peptide band with an apparent minimum subunit molecular mass of 55 kDa as shown by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electro- phoresis (Fig. 2). We were unable to measure PI 4-kinase activity from gel slices after SDS-polyacrylamide gel electro- phoresis or on nitrocellulose blots following electrophoretic transfer of the protein from SDS-polyacrylamide gels (32). To confirm that the 55-kDa protein was indeed PI 4-kinase, we used a combination of native and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and measuring activity from gel slices (11). The purified enzyme was subjected to native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of 0.5% Triton X-100 at 5 "C. The presence of Triton X-100 in the native gel was required to recover enzymatic activity. Following electropho- resis, one lane from a slab gel was stained with silver and showed a protein with an RF of 0.4. The protein from the native gel was excised, denatured, and subjected to SDS- polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. This analysis showed one peptide band of 55 kDa similar to that shown in Fig. 2. Gel slices from a duplicate lane of the native slab gel containing the purified enzyme were minced with a razor blade and homogenized in assay buffer at 5 "C. PI 4-kinase activity was measured at 30 "C using [T-~'P]ATP, and the chloroform- soluble product was extracted. The chloroform-soluble counts from the reaction were at least 20,000 cpm above background counts derived from gel slices not containing protein. The chloroform-soluble product of the reaction comigrated with standard PIP using solvent systems A and B (Fig. 3). Solvent system A separates PIP from PI 3-phosphate based on the

ability of PIP but not PI 3-phosphate to form a complex with boric acid (21). The product of the 45-kDa PI 4-kinase, previously identified as PIP (11, 15), was included in the analysis as a control.

Physicochemical Properties of 55-kDa PI 4-Kinase

To examine differences between the 55- and 45-kDa forms of PI 4-kinase, amino acid composition, isoelectric focusing, and peptide mapping analyses were performed. The amino acid compositions of the 55- and 45-kDa forms of PI 4-kinase are presented in Table 11. The amino acid compositions of the two enzymes were different, although some amino acids were present a t similar frequences. The isoelectric points of the 55- and 45-kDa enzymes were 5.02 and 6.53, respectively. The proteolysis patterns of the 55- and 45-kDa proteins with TPCK-trypsin and S. aureus V8 are shown in Fig. 4. Treat- ment of the two forms of PI 4-kinase with TPCK-trypsin and V8 yielded different peptide patterns. The most obvious dif- ferences are indicated by arrows in the figure.

Affinity-purified antibodies to the 45-kDa PI 4-kinase (15) were used to examine if the 55- and 45-kDa forms of PI 4- kinase were immunologically related. Purified samples of the 55- and 45-kDa enzymes were subjected to SDS-polyacryl- amide gel electrophoresis. After electrophoresis, the proteins were transferred to nitrocellulose paper and subjected to immunoblot analysis using anti-45-kDa PI 4-kinase antibod- ies. The anti-45-kDa PI 4-kinase antibodies only detected the 45-kDa enzyme and did not cross-react with the 55-kDa enzyme. These antibodies do not detect the 55-kDa PI 4- kinase in cell extracts (15).

Enzymological Properties of 55-kDa PI 4-Kinase

Dependence of 55-kDa PI 4-Kinase on pH, Magnesium, Manganese, and Triton X-100"Maximum 55-kDa PI 4-ki- nase activity was dependent on 10 mM magnesium ions (Fig. 5B) and 3.2 mM Triton X-100 (molar ratio of Triton X-100 to PI of 16:l) (Fig. 50) at the pH optimum of 7.0 (Fig. 5A). The magnesium ion dependence could be substituted by 0.5 mM manganese ions (Fig. 5C). The apparent inhibition of 55- kDa PI 4-kinase activity at concentrations of Triton X-100 above 3.2 mM is characteristic of surface dilution kinetics (33). The role of Triton X-100 in the assay for 55-kDa PI 4- kinase is to form a mixed micelle with PI providing a surface for catalysis (see below).

Effect of Temperature on 55-kDa PI 4-Kinase Actiuity-55- kDa PI 4-kinase activity was measured from 0 to 50 "C (Fig. 6A). Maximum activity was observed at 30 "C. An Arrhenius plot for 55-kDa PI 4-kinase was constructed (Fig. 6B) and used to calculate an activation energy for the reaction of 12.1 kcal/mol. The enzyme was examined for its stability to tem- peratures ranging from 30 to 70 "C (Fig. 6C). 55-kDa PI 4- kinase activity was unstable above 30 "C with total inactiva-

Fractions (I ml) were collected and assayed for 55-kDa PI 4-kinase activity (0) and protein (--) as described under “Experimental Procedures.” The phosphate gradient profile is indicated by the dashed line. The PI 4-kinase activity under the first peak was 45-kDa PI 4-kinase. The 45-kDa PI 4-kinase activity was an underestimate since activity was measured under the assay conditions for the 55-kDa PI 4-kinase.

A kinetic analysis of the 55-kDa PI 4-kinase was per- formed with Triton X-lOO/PI-mixed micelles according to the “surface dilution” (33) and “dual phospholipid” (36, 37) ki- netic models. These kinetic models have been useful for the kinetic analysis of several phospholipid-dependent enzymes (37-42) including the 45-kDa PI 4-kinase (15). Both kinetic models are similar in that the enzyme is postulated to asso- ciate with the Triton X-100 micelle surface followed by the formation of an enzyme-substrate complex, catalysis, and release’of products. The difference between the two kinetic models is the first step involving the binding of the enzyme to the micelle surface. In the surface dilution (33) kinetic model the enzyme nonspecifically binds to the micelle surface, whereas in the dual phospholipid (37) kinetic model the

To obtain physical data for the association of 55-kDa PI 4- kinase with Triton X-100 micelles and Triton X-lOO/PI- mixed micelles, we examined the sedimentation profiles of the enzyme after glycerol gradient centrifugation. Pure Triton X-100 micelles sediment near the top of the gradient, whereas Triton X-lOO/PI-mixed micelles sediment with a size slightly larger than pure Triton X-100 micelles (15). 55-kDa PI 4- kinase associated with Triton X-100 micelles in the absence (Fig. 9A) and the presence of PI (Fig. 9B) .

The applicability of these kinetic models for the 55-kDa PI 4-kinase was examined in detail as described for the 45-kDa PI 4-kinase (15). 55-kDa PI 4-kinase activity was measured

Samples (0.3 ml) of 55-kDa PI 4- kinase and 3 mM Triton X-100 ( A ) and 55-kDa PI 4-kinase, 3 mM Triton X-100, and 0.2 mM PI (mol fraction of PI of 0.06) ( B ) were subjected to glycerol gradient centrifugation as described under “Ex- perimental Procedures.” The amount of 55-kDa PI 4-kinase activity that was applied to the gradients was 2 X unit. PI 4-kinase activity (0) was measured as described under “Experimental Proce- dures,” and Triton X-100 (0) was monitored by measuring its ab- sorbance at 275 nm.

In each case, as the surface concentration of PI in the mixed micelle decreased, there was a decrease in the apparent VmaX (Figs. 10 and 11). Furthermore, the double-reciprocal plots of the data in Figs. 10 and 11 showed that 55-kDa PI 4- kinase displayed saturation kinetics when the bulk concentra- tion of substrate was varied at each fixed surface concentra- tion of PI. The pattern of lines shown in Figs. 10 and 11 were indicative of an equilibrium-ordered step as predicted by the surface dilution (33) and dual phospholipid (37) kinetic models.

calculate the K, values for the enzyme according to each model. The K, values for the Triton X-lOO/PI-mixed micelle (surface dilution model) and for PI (dual phospholipid model) were 11.8 and 0.035 mM, respectively.

The 55-kDa PI 4-kinase fit the surface dilution and dual phospholipid kinetic models equally well. Both analyses yielded the same V,,, and K , values. The results of these analyses suggested that 55-kDa PI 4-kinase had more affinity for the Triton X-100 micelle when PI was present. This was reflected in the lower K, value (0.035 mM) determined accord- ing to the dual phospholipid model when compared with the relatively high K, value (11.8 mM) determined according to the surface dilution model.

Dependence of 55-kDa PI 4-Kinase on ATP and PI and Reaction Mechanism-In our kinetic experiments to examine the dependence of 55-kDa PI 4-kinase on ATP and PI the enzyme was measured such that activity was only dependent on the surface concentration of PI (i.e. at a bulk PI concen- tration of 0.2 mM, Fig. 11). 55-kDa PI 4-kinase activity exhibited saturation kinetics when the MgATP concentration was varied at various fixed surface concentrations of PI (Fig. 12A) and when the surface concentration of PI was varied at various fixed concentrations of MgATP (Fig. 13A). Replots (43) of these data were linear (Figs. 12B and 13B) and used to calculate K,,, values for PI and MgATP of 0.017 mol fraction (1.7 mol %) and 0.36 mM, respectively. The K,,, value deter- mined for PI by this kinetic analysis agreed well with the K,,, values determined for PI according to the surface dilution and dual phospholipid kinetic models.

The intersecting lines in the reciprocal plots shown in Figs. 12A and 13A were consistent with the 55-kDa PI 4-kinase catalyzing a sequential Bi Bi reaction (43). In sequential Bi Bi reactions the two substrates must bind to the enzyme before catalysis and release of either product (43). Thus for the 55-kDa PI 4-kinase reaction PI and ATP must bind to the enzyme before the release of PIP and ADP. To determine the order of substrate binding and product release in the reaction, we examined the ability of the 55-kDa PI 4-kinase to catalyze isotopic exchange reactions (43). According to Cleland (43), the labeled product that shows exchange into one substrate in the absence of the other product is the first product released in the reaction sequence. 55-kDa PI 4-kinase catalyzed the exchange between the 3'P-labeled phosphate moiety of inositol of PIP and the y-phosphate of ATP in the presence of PI (Table IV, reaction 1). The exchange of the labeled phosphate from ["PIPIP into water-soluble material was dependent on ATP since the enzyme did not catalyze the hydrolysis of ["PIPIP (Table IV, reaction 2). The enzyme also catalyzed the exchange of the 3ZP-labeled y-phosphate of ATP into PIP in the presence of ADP (Table IV, reaction 3). The exchange of the labeled y-phosphate from [3zP]ATP into chloroform-soluble material was not caused by the formation of PIPz (Table IV, reaction 4). The results of the isotopic exchange reactions suggested that PIP was released prior to ADP in the forward reaction, and ATP was released before P I in the reverse reaction.

DISCUSSION

Preliminary studies in our laboratory suggested that two forms of membrane-associated PI 4-kinase existed in S. cere- vis& (44). This was based on the observation that PI 4- kinase had two pH optima in microsomal membranes. We subsequently purified a 45-kDa form of PI 4-kinase (11, 15). We now report on the purification of a 55-kDa form of the enzyme. The 45-kDa PI 4-kinase could be separated from the 55-kDa form of the enzyme by DE52 chromatography. 45- kDa PI 4-kinase elutes from the DE52 column with 0.1 M NaCl (11, 45), whereas the 55-kDa PI 4-kinase eluted from the column with 0.3 M NaCI. Because of the lability of both forms of PI 4-kinase during DE52 chromatography, we step- eluted both enzymes from the column with 0.3 M NaC1. The two forms of the enzyme were then separated on the first hydroxylapatite column. The eight-step purification scheme developed here for the 55-kDa PI 4-kinase resulted in a nearly homogeneous enzyme preparation. The final specific activity and fold purification of the 55-kDa PI 4-kinase were similar to those of the 45-kDa PI 4-kinase (11, 15).

Reactions were measured in the standard assay buffer described under "Experimental Procedures." Reactions were run for 24 h with 1 X IO" unit of pure enzyme and the indicated reaction components. ATP-PIP exchange reactions were measured with either (y3'P]ATP (10,000 cpm/nmol) or ["PIPIP (200 cpm/nmol) as substrate. Water- soluble radioactive ATP and Pi and chloroform-soluble radioactive PIP and PIP, were measured after a chloroform/methanol/water phase partition (11).

Multiple forms of PI 4-kinase have been purified and char- acterized from several animal sources with molecular masses ranging from 45 to 76 kDa (46-52). The basic enzymological properties of the yeast 55-kDa PI 4-kinase were generally similar to those of the 55-kDa PI 4-kinase from higher eu- caryotes (47,48,50-52). The reports on the PI 4-kinases from animal sources do not address the physicochemical properties nor the detailed kinetics that were reported here and previ- ously (11, 15) for the yeast enzymes.

In addition to having different subunit molecular masses, the 55-and 45-kDa forms of PI 4-kinase from S. cereuisiue differed with respect to their amino acid compositions, iso- electric points, and proteolytic peptide fragments. Further- more, the two enzymes were not immunologically related as determined using affinity-purified antibodies directed against the 45-kDa P I 4-kinase. The 55- and 45-kDa forms of PI 4- kinase also differed in several enzymological and kinetic prop- erties (Table V). The 55-kDa PI 4-kinase differed from the 45-kDa PI 4-kinase with respect to pH optimum, dependence on divalent cations, Triton X-100, and activation energy. Both forms of the enzyme differed in their association to Triton X- 100 micelles and Triton X-lOO/PI-mixed micelles as well as their catalytic binding to PI in Triton X-100 micelles. The 55-kDa PI 4-kinase had a 7-lo-fold greater affinity (reflected in the K, values) for the Triton X-100 micelle surface when compared with the affinity for the micelle of the 45-kDa PI 4-kinase (15). However, once bound to PI in the micelle surface, the 45-kDa PI 4-kinase had a 4.7-fold greater catalytic efficiency (reflected in the K , values) for PI (15) than did the 55-kDa PI 4-kinase.

The differences in the enzymological and kinetic properties of the two forms of PI 4-kinase raised the suggestion that these enzymes may be regulated differentially in uiuo. Fur- thermore, these differences could be exploited to measure differentially the relative activities of each enzyme in mem- brane preparations. The availability of the pure 55- and 45- kDa forms of PI 4-kinase will facilitate studies on the regu- lation of PI 4-kinase activity in S. cereuisiue. For example, we can now address which form of the PI 4-kinase is regulated by phosphorylation (14) and by the growth phase of cells (12, 13). Furthermore, since mutants defective in PI 4-kinase do not exist, the pure enzymes will facilitate the cloning and molecular characterization of the genes encoding for these enzymes.
