Summary: | Beside 4- and 5-phosphatases playing a role in the interconversion between the D-3 phosphorylated polyphosphoinositides, the only enzyme described so far to be responsible for a phosphomonoesterasic activity on the D-3 position of inositol lipids is a specific 3-phosphatase that hydrolyzes PtdIns(3)P in NIH 3T3 cells. We report here the presence of a potent 3-phosphatase activity in different cell types. This activity is detected both in cytosol and membranes of A431 cells and is inhibited by VO
4
3− and Zn
2+. Interestingly, the cytosolic activity from A431 cells selectively hydrolyzes in vitro PtdIns(3)P and PtdIns(3,4)P
2, whereas PtdIns(3,4,5)P
3 remains a very poor substrate under the same conditions. Finally, assays of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and 3-phosphatase activities in the pool of phosphotyrosine-containing proteins isolated from EGF-stimulated A431 cells suggest a compartmentation of these two antagonistic activities during cell activation. |
