Lysophosphoinositide-specific Phospholipase C in Rat Brain Synaptic Plasma Membranes
Overview
Affiliations
A membrane preparation from rat brain catalyzed the hydrolysis of [2-3H]glycerol-labeled lysophosphatidylinositol (lysoPI) to yield monoacylglycerol (MG) and inositolphosphates. This phospholipase C activity had an optimal pH of 8.2. The membrane preparation did not require the addition of Ca2+ for its maximum activity, but the activity was inhibited by addition of 0.1 mM EDTA to the assay mixture and was restored by simultaneous addition of 0.2 mM Ca2+. The activity was found to be localized in synaptic plasma membranes prepared by Ficoll and Percoll density gradients. The phospholipase C was highly specific for lysoPI; diacylglycerol formation from phosphatidylinositol, and MG formation from lysophosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidylethanolamine, and lysophosphatidylserine were below 5% of that observed with lysoPI under the conditions used. We concluded that there is a pathway for phosphatidylinositol metabolism in brain synaptic membranes which is different from the well-characterized phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C pathway.
