Analyzing peroxisomal phosphoinositide (PId # ) synthesis in highly purified rat liver peroxisomes we found synthesis of phosphatidylinositol 4‐phosphate (PtdIns4 P ), PtdIns(4,5) P 2 and PtdIns(3,5) P 2 . PtdIns3 P was hardly detected in vitro, however, was observed in vivo after [ 32 P]‐phosphate labeling of primary rat hepatocytes. In comparison with other subcellular organelles peroxisomes revealed a unique PId pattern suggesting peroxisomal specificity of the observed synthesis. Use of phosphatase inhibitors enhanced the amount of PtdIns4 P . The results obtained provide evidence that isolated rat liver peroxisomes synthesize PIds and suggest the association of PId 4‐kinase and PId 5‐kinase and PId 4‐phosphatase activities with the peroxisomal membrane.
