Rat aortic smooth muscle homogenates and membrane preparations contain a phospholipase C which hydrolyzes phosphatidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate (PIP2). We discovered that guanyl-5'yl-imidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p) activated the hydrolysis of exogenous PIP2 but not of phosphatidylinositol (PI) in rat aortic membranes. Further, maximal Gpp(NH)p-dependent hydrolysis was dependent on physiological levels of calcium. Also, magnesium inhibited PIP2 hydrolysis and catalyzed the dephosphorylation of PIP2 to phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PIP). The results imply that PIP2 is the primary substrate of the nucleotide-regulated phospholipase C in rat aorta and that calcium and magnesium are physiological regulators of this activity.
