RESUMO
For studies of phospholipase C (PLC) activity in cell-free systems, 32P-labelled phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) was prepared enzymatically by phosphorylating phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PIP) in the presence of [gamma-32P]ATP using a PIP kinase partially purified from bovine retinae. PLC activity was determined by incubating membranes of DDT1 MF-2 cells with 32P-PIP2 and measuring remaining non-hydrolyzed substrate as well as accumulation of the hydrolysis product, inositol trisphosphate (IP3). Guanine nucleotides stimulated PIP2 hydrolysis and IP3 release. Additional increase in IP3 accumulation was observed with adrenaline plus guanine nucleotides.
