1. Guanylate cyclase of washed particles and plasma membranes showed S-shaped progress curves when titrated with either GTP or Mn2+ ions; similar results were obtained with Triton X-100-solubilized enzyme preparation from washed particles. Hill plots of these data revealed multiple metal-nucleotide and free-metal binding sites. 2. Guanylate cyclase of supernatant fractions displayed typical Michaelis-Menten properties when enzyme required excess of (free) Mn2+ (over GTP) for maximal activities; Ka (free Mn2+) was about 0.15-0.25 mM at subsaturating concentrations of GTP. 4 MnATP, MnADP, and MnGDP were found to increase the activities of both particulate and superantant enzyme, when MnGTP concentration was below saturation and free Mn2+ ion concentration was low (less than 100 muM); MnATP (50muM-1 mM) inhibited both these activities at high free Mn2+ concentration (1.5 mM) and inhibition of the particulate enzyme was greater than that of supernatant enzyme. 5. Ca2+ ions stimulated supernatant-enzyme activity; the stimulatory concentration of Ca2+ ions depended on the concentration of Mn2+ and GTP. 6. A modest stimulation of particulate guanylate cyclase by pyrophosphate (0.02-1 mM) was observed; the pyrophosphate effect appeared to be competitive with respect to GTP. At a higher concentration (2 mM), pyrophosphate produced a marked inhibition of particulate enzyme; the nature of inhibitory effect appeared complex. 7. Inorganic salts (e.g. NaCl, KCl, LiBr, NaF) produced inhibition of particulate enzyme; the degree of inhibition of Triton X-100-stimulated activity was less than that of unstimulated activity. 9. Treatment of sarcolemmal or microsomal membranes with either phospholipase C or trypsin decreased, whereas phospholipase A increased, the activity of guanylate cyclase.

The conditions necessary for the secretion of phospholipase C (phosphatidylcholine cholinephosphohydrolase) by Pseudomonas aeruginosa were studied. Enzyme secretion by washed cell suspensions required a carbon source and ammonium, potassium, and calcium ions. The calcium requirement could be substituted by magnesium and strontium but not by copper, manganese, cobalt, or zinc. During growth in liquid medium, cells secreted phospholipase C during late logarithmic and early stationary phases. Secretion was repressed by the addition of inorganic phosphate but not by organic phosphates, glucose, or sodium succinate. Studies with tetracycline indicated that de novo protein synthesis was necessary for the secretion of phospholipase C and that the exoenzyme was not released from a preformed periplasmic pool. Similarly, extraction of actively secreting cells with 0.2 M MgCl2 at pH 8.4 solubilized large quantities of the periplasmic enzyme alkaline phosphatase but insignificant amounts of phospholipase C. Bacteria continued to secrete enzyme for nearly 45 min after the addition of inorganic phosphate or rifampin.

Sodium azide, hydroxylamine, and phenylhydrazine at concentrations of 1 mM increased the activity of soluble guanylate cyclase from rat liver 2- to 20-fold. The increased accumulation of guanosine 3':5'-monophosphate in reaction mixtures with sodium azide was not due to altered levels of substrate, GTP, or altered hydrolysis of guanosine 3':5'-monophosphate by cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase. The activation of guanylate cyclase was dependent upon NaN3 concentration and temperature; preincubation prevented the time lag of activation observed during incubation. The concentration of NaN3 that resulted in half-maximal activation was 0.04 mM. Sodium azide increased the apparent Km for GTP from 35 to 113 muM. With NaN3 activation the enzyme was less dependent upon the concentration of free Mn2+. Activation of enzyme by NaN3 was irreversible with dilution or dialysis of reaction mixtures. The slopes of Arrhenius plots were altered with sodium azide-activated enzyme, while gel filtration of the enzyme on Sepharose 4B was unaltered by NaN3 treatment. Triton X-100 increased the activity of the enzyme, and in the presence of Triton X-100 the activation by NaN3 was not observed. Trypsin treatment decreased both basal guanylate cyclase activity and the responsiveness to NaN3. Phospholipase A, phospholipase C, and neuraminidase increased basal activity but had little effect on the responsiveness to NaN3. Both soluble and particulate guanylate cyclase from liver and kidney were stimulated with NaN3. The particulate enzyme from cerebral cortex and cerebellum was also activated with NaN3, whereas the soluble enzyme from these tissues was not. Little or no effect of NaN3 was observed with preparations from lung, heart, and several other tissues. The lack of an effect with NaN3 on soluble GUANYLATE Cyclase from heart was probably due to the presence of an inhibitor of NaN3 activation in heart preparations. The effect of NaN3 was decreased or absent when soluble guanylate cyclase from liver was purified or stored at -20degrees. The activation of guanylate cyclase by NaN3 is complex and may be the result of the nucleophilic agent acting on the enzyme directly or what may be more likely on some other factor in liver preparations.

Phospholipase C (phosphatidylcholine cholinephosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.4.3) from Pseudomonas aureofaciens was purified 3600-fold from the culture filtrate with a recovery of 1.6%. Purification was performed with the useof (NH4)2SO4 precipitation, Sephadex G-100 gel filtration and by ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-50 and CM-Sephadex C-50. The purified enzyme appeared to be homogeneous as revealed by polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis at pH 9.3. The molecular weight was estimated to be 35 000 by gel filtration on Sephadex G-75. Under our experimental conditions, phosphatidylethanolamine was more rapidly hydrolysed than phosphatidylcholine. Lyso forms of these two phosphatides were poor substrates. Phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, cardiolipin and sphingomyelin were not hydrolysed. The enzyme activity with phosphatidylcholine as substrate was slightly stimulated by Ca2+, Mg2+, and Mn2+. However, these cations inhibited the activity with phosphatidylethanolamine as substrate. An anionic detergent, sodium deoxycholate, slightly enhanced the activity when phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine were used as substrates. A cationic detergent, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, inhibited enzyme activity. EDTA and o-henanthroline inhibited the activity of the enzyme to a marked degree.

1. The zinc content and metal ion dependence of phospholipase C(phosphatidylcholine cholinephosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.4.3) from Bacillus cereus have been examined. 2. The native enzyme contained about 2 atoms of tightly bound zinc/molecule. 3. Incubation of the enzyme with EDTA or with o-phenanthroline caused inactivation. The inactivation was accompanied by the removal of one zinc atom from the enzyme and could be fully reversed by the addition of Zn2+ or Co2+ to the enzyme and partly reversed by Mn2+ or Mg2+. 4. Prolonged exposure to o-phenanthroline removed the second zinc atom also and produced an enzyme species which was reactivated by Zn2+ only. Full reactivation was accompanied by the binding of about two zinc atoms to the enzyme. 5. The results are consistent with the view that phospholipase C is a zinc metalloenzyme.

Phospholipase C [EC 3.1.4.3] from Pseudomonas aureofaciens was found to be inhibited by chelating reagents such as ethylenediaminetetraacetate [EDTA] and o-phenanthroline. The inhibition was reversed by the addition of Zn2+ and, to a lesser extent, by Co2+ and Mn2+. On isoelectric focusing, the isoelectric point of this enzyme proved to be 6.3--6.5, with a single peak. The enzyme reaction with the substrate was followed in media containing an organic solvent such as diethyl ether or diethyl ether-ethyl alcohol. When ethyl alcohol was added (up to 2%) to the reaction mixture in ether, there were no marked changes in the hydrolytic rates of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. However, the enzyme activity was inhibited when the alcohol concentration was increased above 2%. In 98% diethyl ether-2% ethyl alcohol, phosphatidylcholine was hydrolyzed more rapidly than phosphatidylethanolamine, in contrast with the result obtained in water. In the single micelle state, phosphatidylethanolamine was hydrolyzed more rapidly than phosphatidylcholine or lysophatidylcholine. Acidic phospholipids and sphinogomyelin were not hydrolyzed. When the enzyme was incubated with phospholipid mixture extracted from Ps aureofaciens and rat liver, both phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine were hydrolyzed more rapidly than in the single micelle state of these substrates.

Receptor-activated Ca2+ influx was investigated in PC12 cells clones loaded with fura-2. Cells were stimulated in a Ca(2+)-free medium and studied after reintroduction of the cation or addition of Mn2+ into the medium. A first influx component, independent of receptor activation and sustained by depletion of the intracellular inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate sensitive Ca2+ store (store-dependent Ca2+ influx, SDCI), was identified by experiments with carbachol followed by atropine and with agents that induce store discharge without polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis: thapsigargin, an inhibitor of Ca(2+)-ATPase activity; ryanodine and caffeine, activators of the ryanodine receptor. A second component of Ca2+ influx, induced by carbachol and rapidly blocked by atropine, relies on receptor-effector coupling via G protein(s) different from that (those) involved in phospholipase C activation. SDCI and receptor-coupled influx are similar in their voltage dependence and insensitivity to forskolin and phorbol esters but they differ with respect to their Mn2+ permeability and their sensitivity to the SC 38249 imidazole blocker. The two components might play different roles. SDCI might act as a safety device to prevent Ca2+ store depletion whereas receptor-dependent influx might control physiological functions such as secretion and growth.

The effect of various detergents on polyphosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C activity in highly purified wheat root plasma membrane vesicles was examined. The plasma membrane-bound enzyme was solubilized in octylglucoside and purified 25-fold by hydroxylapatite and ion-exchange chromatography. The purified enzyme catalyzed the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PIP) and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) with specific activities of 5 and 10 mumol/min per mg protein, respectively. Phosphatidylinositol (PI) was not a substrate. Optimum activity was between pH 6-7 (PIP) and pH 6-6.5 (PIP2). The enzyme was dependent on micromolar concentrations of Ca2+ for activity, and millimolar Mg2+ further increased the activity. Other divalent cations (4 mM Ca2+, Mn2+ and Co2+) inhibited (PIP2 as substrate) or enhanced (PIP as substrate) phospholipase C activity.

Human neutrophils and dibutyryl-cAMP (Bt2cAMP)-differentiated HL-60 cells possess receptors for the chemotactic peptide N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine (fMet-Leu-Phe), which mediate activation of phospholipase C, with subsequent increase in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and activation of specific cell functions. In many cell types, histamine, via H1 receptors, activates phospholipase C, but it is unknown whether neutrophilic cells possess functional H1 receptors. We compared the effects of histamine with those of fMet-Leu-Phe on activation of these cells. In Bt2cAMP-differentiated HL-60 cells, substances increased [Ca2+]i in the effectiveness order fMet-Leu-Phe greater than histamine greater than betahistine. Pertussis toxin diminished fMet-Leu-Phe-induced rises in [Ca2+]i to a greater extent than those induced by histamine. H1 but not H2 antagonists inhibited histamine- and betahistine-induced rises in [Ca2+]i. fMet-Leu-Phe and histamine activated phospholipase C and increased [Ca2+]i through release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores and sustained influx of Ca2+ from the extracellular space. The substances also induced Mn2+ influx. Ca2+ and Mn2+ influxes were inhibited by 1-(beta-[3-(4-methoxyphenyl)propoxyl]-4-methoxyphenethyl)-1H-imida zole hydrochloride (SK&F 96365). The stimulatory effects of histamine on [Ca2+]i were more sensitive to inhibition by 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate than were those of fMet-Leu-Phe. Unlike fMet-Leu-Phe, histamine did not activate superoxide anion formation, release of beta-glucuronidase, and tyrosine phosphorylation. In neutrophils, histamine and betahistine did not induce rises in [Ca2+]i. Our data show that (i) in Bt2cAMP-differentiated HL-60 cells, histamine increases [Ca2+]i via H1 receptors coupled to pertussis toxin-sensitive and possibly, pertussis toxin-insensitive heterotrimeric regulatory guanine nucleotide-binding proteins, (ii) histamine activates nonselective cation channels, and (iii) unlike fMet-Leu-Phe, histamine is an incomplete secretagogue.

When hepatocytes were loaded with fura-2 by incubation with the acetoxymethyl ester (fura-2/AM), addition of Mn2+ resulted in a rapid quench of a fraction of cellular fura-2 fluorescence. Addition of vasopressin caused a second, rapid quench of cellular fura-2, whereas the addition of thapsigargin had no effect. When hepatocytes were loaded by microinjection of fura-2 acid, addition of Mn2+ caused a slower, sustained rate of quench, and both vasopressin and thapsigargin increased this rate of quench. When Mn2+ was removed from the medium of fura-2/AM-loaded cells after preincubation with Mn2+, vasopressin still caused quench of cellular fura-2. In contrast, neither vasopressin nor thapsigargin increased fura-2 quench when Mn2+ was removed from fura-2-injected cells. When fura-2/AM-loaded cells were permeabilized with saponin, only a fraction of the cell-associated fura-2 was quenched by addition of Mn2+. A second fraction was then quenched by addition of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate. These results indicate that in hepatocytes loaded with the acetoxymethyl ester of fura-2, the increased quench of cellular fura-2 seen with phospholipase C-linked agonists is not due to effects of the agonist on Mn2+ entry across the plasma membrane, but rather is due to agonist activation of Mn2+ penetration into an intracellular organelle, presumably through inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-regulated channels. Thus, it appears that compartmentalization of fura-2 accounts for previously reported anomalies in Ca2+ signaling in hepatocytes, such as the apparent failure of Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibition to increase divalent cation entry, as well as the apparent ability of phospholipase C-linked agonists to stimulate efflux of Ca2+.
