Phospholipase C activity capable of hydrolysing phosphatidylinositol in bovine heart was resolved into four forms (I-IV) by ion-exchange chromatography. Some of these forms could only be detected if the assay was performed at acidic pH (I and IV) or in the presence of deoxycholate (II). Gel-filtration chromatography indicated that the four forms had different molecular weights in the range 40000-120000. I, II and III all had pH optima in the range 4.5-5.5. However, the major form (III) also had substantial activity at pH 7.0 and above. The activities of I, II and III at pH 7.0 were stimulated by deoxycholate; this effect was most marked with I and II, which had very low activity at this pH. All forms of the enzyme were inhibited by EGTA and required 2-5 mM-CaCl2 for maximal activity. When the fractions eluted from the ion-exchange and gel-filtration columns were assayed with polyphosphoinositides as substrates there was a close correspondence to the elution profile obtained with phosphatidylinositol as substrate; there was no evidence for the existence in heart of phospholipase C activities specific for individual phosphoinositides.
