title: The presence of Ca(2+)-independent phospholipase A1 highly specific for phosphatidylinositol in bovine brain.
abstract: EDTA-insensitive phospholipase A activity hydrolyzing phosphatidylinositol was detected in a bovine brain soluble fraction. This phospholipase A was purified 25-fold by sequential chromatographies of DEAE-Toyopearl, Phenyl-Toyopearl, and Ultrahydrogel 1000. The partially purified EDTA-insensitive phospholipase A showed an apparent molecular mass of 230kDa on an Ultrahydrogel 1000 column in the presence of 0.05% Triton X-100 and a pH optimum at 7.0. The enzyme was highly specific for phosphatidylinositol; phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine were not hydrolyzed significantly. The enzyme activity was characterized as phospholipase A1, and Ca2+ and Mg2+ were not required for its activity. These results indicate the existence of Ca(2+)-independent, phosphatidylinositol-specific metabolism besides those catalyzed by Ca(2+)-dependent phospholipase A2 and Ca(2+)-dependent, phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C.
