Abstract
Diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (PP-IP5) and bis(diphospho)inositol tetrakisphosphate (bis-PP-IP4) were recently identified as inositol phosphates which possess pyrophosphate bonds. The molecular mechanisms that regulate the cellular levels of these compounds are not yet characterized. To pursue this question, we have previously purified an inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) kinase from rat brain supernatants [Voglmaier, S. M., et al. (1996) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 93, 4305−4310]. We now report the identification and purification of another novel kinase, diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (PP-IP5) kinase, which uses PP-IP5 as a substrate to form bis(diphospho)inositol tetrakisphosphate (bis-PP-IP4) in soluble fractions of rat forebrain. The purified protein, a monomer of 56 kDa, displays high affinity (Km = 0.7 μM) and selectivity for PP-IP5 as a substrate. The purified enzyme also can transfer a phosphate from bis-PP-IP4 to ADP to form ATP. This ATP synthase activity is an indication of the high phosphoryl group transfer potential of bis-PP-IP4 and may represent a physiological role for PP-IP5 and bis-PP-IP4.Keywords
