Exogenously added phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdInsP2) is rapidly associated with cerebral-cortical membranes. Substrate association with membranes was promoted by Mg2+, but inhibited by bivalent chelators. Once associated with the membrane, the PtdInsP2 was resistant to displacement by EDTA. The apparent phospholipase C activity was dependent on the degree of association of substrate with membranes. After preincubation of membranes with substrate, PtdInsP2 hydrolysis was independent of the incubation volume, indicating that substrate and membrane-associated phospholipase C were not independently diluted. Hydrolysis of the membrane-associated substrate was stimulated by Ca2+, guanosine 5′-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate (p[NH]ppG), guanosine 5′[gamma-thio]triphosphate and carbachol in the presence of p[NH]ppG. Carbachol in the absence of guanine nucleotides, GDP, GTP, ATP and pyrophosphate was ineffective. These results demonstrate that exogenously added PtdInsP2 substrate is rapidly associated with membranes and hydrolysed by a phospholipase C whose activity is regulated by guanine nucleotides and agonist in the presence of guanine nucleotides. Use of exogenously added substrate for studies on the regulation of membrane phospholipase C requires consideration as to possible effects of incubation conditions on the partitioning of substrate into membranes.

Guanyl-5′-yl imidodiphosphate (p[NH]ppG) stimulated a rapid phospholipase C-mediated breakdown of exogenously added phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) in rat cerebral-cortical membranes, with half-maximal activation at approx. 33 microM. NaF stimulated phospholipase C activity, with half-maximal activation at 0.5 mM. Stimulation of phospholipase C activity by NaF exhibited pH optima at approx. 5.5 and 7.0, with the stimulatory activity at pH 7.0 greater than that at pH 5.5. With p[NH]ppG, only stimulation at pH 7.0 was observed. Neither p[NH]ppG nor NaF stimulated hydrolysis of added phosphatidylinositol (PI) or phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PIP). Mg2+ (0.5 mM) potentiated p[NH]ppG-stimulated breakdown of PIP2. Ca2+ increased basal and p[NH]ppG-stimulated breakdown of PIP2. PI breakdown was stimulated only by high Ca2+ concentrations and was unaffected by p[NH]ppG at any Ca2+ concentration examined. These results indicate that, in cerebral-cortical membranes, activation of phospholipase C by guanine nucleotides or fluoride directly increases a phospholipase C activity which specifically hydrolyses PIP2.

The guanine nucleotides guanosine 5′[beta, gamma-imido]triphosphate (Gpp[NH]p), guanosine 5′-[γ-thio]-triphosphate (GTP gamma S), GMP, GDP and GTP stimulated the hydrolysis of inositol phospholipids by a phosphodiesterase in rat cerebral cortical membranes. Addition of 100 microM-Gpp[NH]p to prelabelled membranes caused a rapid accumulation of [3H)inositol phosphates (less than 30 s) for up to 2 min. GTP gamma S and Gpp [NH]p caused a concentration-dependent stimulation of phosphoinositide phosphodiesterase with a maximal stimulation of 2.5-3-fold over control at concentrations of 100 microM. GMP was as effective as the nonhydrolysable analogues, but much less potent (EC50 380 microM). GTP and GDP caused a 50% stimulation of the phospholipase C at 100 microM and at higher concentrations were inhibitory. The adenine nucleotides App[NH]p and ATP also caused small stimulatory effects (64% and 29%). The guanine nucleotide stimulation of inositide hydrolysis in cortical membranes was selective for inositol phospholipids over choline-containing phospholipids. Gpp[NH]p stimulated the production of inositol trisphosphate and inositol bisphosphate as well as inositol monophosphate, indicating that phosphoinositides are substrates for the phosphodiesterase. EGTA (33 microM) did not prevent the guanine nucleotide stimulation of inositide hydrolysis. Calcium addition by itself caused inositide phosphodiesterase activation from 3 to 100 microM which was additive with the Gpp[NH]p stimulation. These data suggest that guanine nucleotides may play a regulatory role in the modulation of the activity of phosphoinositide phosphodiesterase in rat cortical membranes.

In cerebral-cortical membranes, hydrolysis-resistant guanine nucleotides exert a dual regulatory effect on phospholipase C activity. Nanomolar concentrations of guanosine 5′-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate (p[NH]ppG) or guanosine 5′-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) inhibited basal phospholipase C activity, with a maximum inhibition of 30% at 10 nM. Increasing the concentration of p[NH]ppG or GTP[S] to over 10 nM resulted in a reversal of the inhibitory effect and onset of stimulation of phospholipase C activity. These inhibitory effects were blocked by 100 microM-guanosine 5′-[beta-thio]diphosphate. GTP was relatively ineffective in producing either stimulation or inhibition of phospholipase C activity. Similarly, ATP, adenosine 5′-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate and GDP were also ineffective. Expression of the dual effects of guanine nucleotides was affected by the Mg2+ concentration. At 0.3 mM-Mg2+, both the inhibitory and the stimulatory components of p[NH]ppG action were evident. At 2.5 mM-Mg2+, only p[NH]ppG stimulation was observed. Pertussis-toxin treatment blocked the p[NH]ppG-mediated inhibition of phospholipase C activity. These results demonstrate that non-hydrolysable guanine nucleotides exert both a stimulatory and an inhibitory effect on membrane phospholipase C activity. These effects may be mediated through distinct GTP-binding proteins.

Cell growth and tumor transformation can be restrained in certain cell systems by the action of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta). It has been established that the mechanism whereby TGF-beta 1 inhibits cell growth does not interfere with the triggering of early mitogenic signal transduction mechanisms. Phospholipase C-catalyzed hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine (PC) is a relatively late step in the cascade activated by growth factors. Therefore, conceivably activation of phospholipase C-catalyzed hydrolysis of PC could be the target of TGF-beta 1 action. In the study reported here, we demonstrate that TGF-beta 1 inhibits the coupling of ras p21 to the activation of PC hydrolysis, which appears to be critical for the antiproliferative effects of TGF-beta 1.

Increases of intracellular free Ca2+ (Caf) may mediate phospholipid hydrolysis and disintegration in energy-compromised cells; on the other hand, glycine and related amino acids preserve structure. We have examined the effects of increased Caf on phospholipids and structure in ATP-depleted cells, as well as how these actions may be modified by glycine. Incubation of isolated proximal tubules with antimycin A led to ATP depletion, delayed increases of Caf to micromolar levels, polyphosphoinositide (PPI) hydrolysis by phospholipase C, and generalized disintegration of cell structure. Glycine inhibited PPI hydrolysis and preserved cell structure in entirety but did not apparently modify the Caf increases. When overwhelming increases of Caf were induced by the additional presence of a Ca2+ ionophore, glycine did not inhibit either the hydrolysis of PPI or disruption of mitochondria and microvilli. However, the cells remained integrated and unbroken. Incubation in low-Ca2+ medium prevented Caf increases, inhibited PPI hydrolysis, and preserved the structure of mitochondria and microvilli. Nevertheless, there was lethal damage by disintegration of all other membranes. This damage was prevented specifically and completely by glycine. Thus compartments of cells were shown to be differentially susceptible to injury from increased Caf or lack of glycine. Although damage by either factor occurs by distinct mechanisms, glycine also appears to have effects that suppress the deleterious effects of Ca2+ so long as Caf increases are not overwhelming. Our results also suggest that the PPI have a major structural role, which may be compromised by Caf increase during ATP depletion.

A novel bovine spleen phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) has been identified with respect to immunoreactivity with four independent antibodies against each of the PLC isoenzymes, and purified to near homogeneity by sequential column chromatography. Spleen contains three of the isoenzymes: two different gamma-types [gamma 1 and gamma 2, originally named as PLC-gamma [Rhee, Suh, Ryu & Lee (1989) Science 244, 546-550] and PLC-IV [Emori, Homma, Sorimachi, Kawasaki, Nakanishi, Suzuki & Takenawa (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 21885-21890] respectively] and delta-type of the enzyme, but PLC-gamma 1 is separated from the PLC-gamma 2 pool by the first DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. Subsequently, PLC-delta is dissociated on the third heparin-Sepharose column chromatography. The purified enzyme has a molecular mass of 145 kDa on SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and a specific activity of 12.8 mumol/min per mg with phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate as substrate. This enzyme activity is dependent on Ca2+ for hydrolysis of all these phosphoinositides. None of the other phospholipids examined could be its substrate at any concentration of Ca2+. The optimal pH of the enzyme is slightly acidic (pH 5.0-6.5).
