Abstract

Phosphoinositol kinase, the key enzyme responsible for the biosynthesis of higher inositol phosphates has been isolated from the cotyledons of mung beans germinated for 24 hr and has been resolved into two different forms, phosphoinositol kinase A and phosphoinositol kinase B. Both forms were purified to homogeneity and characterized. The Km values for ATP with phosphoinositol kinase A (1.78 × 10-4 M) and phosphoinositol kinase B (3.12 × 10-5 M) showed that phosphoinositol kinase B had a greater affinity for ATP. ATP could be partially replaced as phosphate donor by UTP and phosphoenolpyruvate in the case of phosphoinositol kinase A but not in the case of phosphoinositol kinase B.
