title: Cyclic and noncyclic inositol phosphates are formed at different ratios by phospholipase C isozymes.
abstract: The cyclic inositol phosphate content in the product of PLC-beta, gamma, and delta mediated cleavage of three phosphoinositides, PtdIns, PtdIns(4)p, and PtdIns(4,5)P2, was measured under several different experimental conditions. The ratio of cyclic to noncyclic product generally decreased in the order PLC-beta greater than PLC-delta greater than PLC-gamma. For all three enzymes the ratio decreased in the order PtdIns greater than PtdIns(4)P greater than PtdIns(4,5)P2. For all combinations of the three enzymes and three substrates cyclic product content was always higher at pH 5.5 than at pH 7.0. The effect of Ca2+ on the ratio of cyclic to noncyclic was also measured. The ratio remained constant between 0.5 microM and 2 mM for PtdIns. For PtdIns(4)P and PtdIns(4,5)P2, the ratios were unchanged between 0.5 and 500 microM, but increased abruptly at millimolar Ca2+ concentrations.
