In the present study characterization of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate-specific phospholipase C (PIP2-PLC) activity and receptor-mediated hydrolysis of PIP2 in rat anterior pituitary membranes were investigated. Incubation of the membrane fraction of anterior pituitary homogenate with [3H]inositol-labeled PIP2 in the presence of calcium increased the concentration of the water-soluble degradation product inositol trisphosphate (IP3) in a time-dependent manner. PIP2-PLC in the rat anterior pituitary had a pH optimum at 5.5 and a requirement for cations. Ca2+ and Mg2+ could activate the enzyme. Activity was maximal at a total magnesium concentration of 1 mM and at a free Ca2+ concentration of 100 microM. The addition of the detergent Triton X-100 (0.05% w/v) to the membrane fraction resulted in a 50% decrease of PIP2-PLC activity, whereas the presence of sodium deoxycholate (1 mg/ml) in the membrane fraction increased the PIP2-PLC activity by 100%. The tachykinins substance P, 8-Tyr-substance P, physalaemin, neurokinin A, eledoisin, kassinin and neurokinin B induced receptor-mediated breakdown of [3H]inositol-labeled PIP2 in the membrane fraction in a concentration-dependent manner, but with different potencies. The tachykinins displayed the following rank order of potencies: substance P greater than 8-Tyr-substance P greater than physalaemin greater than neurokinin A greater than eledoisin greater than kassinin greater than neurokinin B, which is consistent with the involvement of a NK-1 receptor. Combined treatment of anterior pituitary membranes by substance P and thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) resulted in an additional increase in PIP2-PLC activity compared to stimulation with TRH alone.
