A polyphosphoinositide phospholipase C has been identified in highly purified plasma membranes from shoots and roots of wheat seedlings. The enzyme preferentially hydrolysed phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and had a different phosphoinositide substrate profile from soluble phospholipase C. The enzyme activity was lower in plasma membranes isolated from light-grown shoots than from dark-grown ones, whereas no differences in activity between plasma membranes from light- and dark-grown roots were seen. Maximum activity of the membrane-bound enzyme was observed around pH 6. It was activated by micromolar concentrations of Ca2+, but not by GTP or GTP analogues. The enzyme may participate in signal transduction over the plant plasma membrane.
