A second type of rat phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C containing a src-related sequence not essential for phosphoinositide-hydrolyzing activity.

A fourth type of rat phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC IV) has been cloned for cDNA and sequenced. PLC IV is distinct from the other three types of rat PLC (PLC I, II, and III) with respect to primary structure and tissue distribution of its mRNAs. PLC IV contains two homologous regions included commonly in PLC I, II, and III and is most similar to PLC II (identity: 50.2%). PLC IV, in common with PLC II, has a sequence homologous to the N-terminal regulatory domains of nonreceptor tyrosine kinases of the src-family of oncogenes. Using an Escherichia coli expression system, we succeeded in producing active PLC IV in E. coli crude extracts. Various truncation experiments of the PLC IV cDNA revealed that the src-related domain is not necessary for catalytic activity while both domains homologous among PLC I-IV are essential. PLC IV is expressed in various rat tissues and abundant in spleen, suggesting that PLC IV plays a fundamental role in cellular functions such as growth and secretion.[1]
