RESUMO
Activation of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) generates two intracellular signals which play major roles in many cellular processes including secretion, proliferation and contraction. PLC activation by many receptors occurs via a guanine nucleotide regulatory protein, Gp. PLCs are found predominantly in the cytosolic fraction though some activity is membrane-associated. At least four families of iso-enzymes of PLC (alpha, beta, gamma and delta) have been identified, but there is only scant evidence to indicate that any of the mammalian cytosolic activities are involved in G-protein-regulated signalling. In this study we demonstrate that the PLC activity from rat brain cytosol can be regulated in a G-protein-dependent manner in a reconstituted system using pre-permeabilized HL60 cells. We identify two enzymes, PLC-beta and a novel 86 kDa enzyme (designated PLC-epsilon) as the G-protein-regulated enzymes. PLC-epsilon was found to be the major G-protein-regulated enzyme.
