title: Solubilization of trehalase from rabbit renal and intestinal brush-border membranes by a phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C.
abstract: Trehalase (EC 3.2.1.28) associated with renal and intestinal brush-border membranes was solubilized by highly purified phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (EC 3.1.4.10) from Bacillus thuringiensis, but not by phosphatidylcholine-hydrolyzing phospholipase C (EC 3.1.4.3) from Clostridium welchii or phospholipase D (EC 3.1.4.4) from cabbage. The solubilized trehalase was not adsorbed on phenyl-Sepharose, indicating that it was hydrophilic. Phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C also converted Triton X-100-solubilized amphipathic trehalase into a hydrophilic form. These results suggest that trehalase is bound to the membrane through a direct and specific interaction with phosphatidylinositol.
