Localization of phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase isoenzymes in rat liver plasma membrane domains

Biochimica Et Biophysica Acta
L Ekblad, Bengt Jergil

Abstract

The presence of different isoenzymes of phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase in isolated rat liver plasma membranes and their further distribution in plasma membrane domains was examined. Both wortmannin-sensitive and -insensitive PtdIns 4-kinase activities were detected in highly purified plasma membranes obtained by aqueous two-phase affinity partitioning. The wortmannin-sensitive enzyme was identified as the 230 kDa isoform by Western blotting, whereas the 92 kDa isoform was not detected in plasma membranes. The apparent molecular weights of these isoforms were 205 and 105 kDa on SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, but approximately 500 and 230 kDa respectively on gel filtration, suggesting that both enzymes either are dimers or composed of heterologous subunits. Approximately 25% of the total 230 kDa isoenzyme present in liver, and only ca 5% of the wortmannin-insensitive one, was associated with the plasma membrane fraction. Plasma membrane domains were isolated by a combination of sucrose and Nycodenz gradient centrifugations. The 230 kDa isoform was identified in the blood sinusoidal domain, but not in the bile canalicular one, and was also found in lateral plasma membranes. The wortmannin-insensitive isoenzyme was present ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
