title: Partial purification of phosphoinositide phospholipase C from human platelet cytosol; characterization of its three forms.
abstract: Three forms (I, IIa and IIb) of phospholipase C, hydrolyzing specifically inositol phospholipids, were resolved from human platelet cytosol and partially purified by DEAE-cellulose, phenyl-Sepharose, Ultrogel ACA-44 and hydroxylapatite column chromatographies. All three forms exhibited pH optimum at 6.5 - 7.0 in the presence of deoxycholate and their molecular weights were 67,000 (form I), 120,000 (IIa) and 70,000 (IIb). These enzymes hydrolyzed both phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate in Ca2+-dependent manner; their maximal activities for phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis were obtained at 10(-4) to 10(-3) M Ca2+, whereas phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate was preferentially hydrolyzed at lower concentration of Ca2+.
