Phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase (PIP5K) is an enzyme that converts phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate [PI4P] to phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P]. PIP5K plays a key role in the regulation of vesicular transport, cytoskeleton reorganization, and cell division. In general, to investigate an enzymatic activity of PIP5K, the amount of incorporated [P] ATP into PI(4,5)P fraction is measured in in vitro reconstitution experiments. However, tools to monitor dynamic changes in its activity in real time have been lacking. Recently, we have developed a novel PIP5K assay using fluorescence spectroscopy. Compared to conventional methods in which lipids extraction steps are needed, our method is easy and quick to perform and enables a real-time analysis. This chapter provides a protocol to set up and perform the novel PIP5K assay we have recently established.
磷脂酰肌醇 4-磷酸 5-激酶(PIP5K)是一种将磷脂酰肌醇 4-磷酸 [PI4P] 转化为磷脂酰肌醇 4,5-二磷酸 [PI(4,5)P] 的酶。PIP5K 在囊泡运输、细胞骨架重组和细胞分裂的调节中起着关键作用。通常,为了研究 PIP5K 的酶活性,在体外重组实验中测量 [P]ATP 掺入到 PI(4,5)P 馏分中的量。然而,缺乏实时监测其活性的动态变化的工具。最近,我们使用荧光光谱法开发了一种新型的 PIP5K 测定法。与需要脂质提取步骤的传统方法相比,我们的方法易于操作且快速,并且能够进行实时分析。本章提供了建立和执行我们最近建立的新型 PIP5K 测定法的方案。
