The phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate kinase activity in rat liver showed a subcellular distribution different from that of phosphatidylinositol kinase. It was preferentially associated with plasma membrane-rich subcellular fractions, while no or minimal activity could be ascribed to mitochondria, lysosomes, Golgi membranes or the endoplasmic reticulum. The plasma membrane enzyme phosphorylated endogenous and exogenously added phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate at comparable initial rates. The phosphorylation of endogenous substrate was strongly inhibited by Triton X-100, while the phosphorylation of added substrate was enhanced, suggesting that endogenous phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate was readily available to the enzyme in unperturbed plasma membranes. The total activity of phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate kinase in rat liver was only 1/20 that of phosphatidylinositol kinase. The enzyme activity showed an unusually broad pH-optimum in the neutral range. Mg2+ was the preferred divalent cation and Km towards ATP was about 3-fold higher than the corresponding value for phosphatidylinositol kinase.
