Regulation of membrane-associated and cytosolic phospholipase C activities in human platelets by guanosine triphosphate

JJ Baldassare and GJ Fisher

The effects of guanine nucleotides, thrombin, and platelet cytosol (100,000 X g supernatant) on the hydrolysis of polyphosphoinositides by phospholipase C was examined in isolated platelet membranes labeled with [3H]inositol. Guanosine 5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S) (10 microM) caused a 2-fold stimulation of polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis, compared to background. GTP gamma S (10 microM) plus thrombin (1 unit/ml) stimulated the release of inositol triphosphate, inositol diphosphate, and inositol phosphate 500, 300, and 250%, respectively, compared to GTP gamma S alone. Cytosol prepared from unlabeled platelets slightly increased the release of inositol phosphates from [3H]inositol-labeled membranes. Addition of cytosol plus GTP gamma S (10 microM), however, resulted in a 300% enhancement of the release of inositol phosphates compared to membranes incubated with thrombin and GTP gamma S. The stimulatory effects of cytosol and GTP gamma S on polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis were also observed when membranes were replaced by sonicated lipid vesicles prepared from a total platelet lipid extract. These data suggest that PIP2 hydrolysis in platelets is catalyzed by a soluble phospholipase C which is regulated by a GTP-binding regulatory protein.
