Phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) enzymes simultaneously interact with the substrate, PI, and with nonsubstrate lipids such as phosphatidylcholine (PC). For Bacillus thuringiensis PI-PLC these interactions are synergistic with maximal catalytic activity observed at low to moderate mole fractions of PC (X-PC) and maximal binding occurring at low mole fractions of anionic lipids. It has been proposed that residues in alpha-helix B help to modulate membrane binding and that dimerization oil the membrane surface both increases affinity for PC and activates PI-PLC, yielding the observed PI/PC synergy. Vesicle binding and activity measurements using a variety of PI-PLC Mutants support many aspects of this model and reveal that while single mutations call disrupt anionic lipid binding and the anionic lipid/PC synergy, the residues important for PC binding are less localized. Interestingly, at high X-PC mutations can both decrease membrane affinity and increase activity, supporting a model where reductions in wild-type activity at X-PC > 0.6 result from both dilution of the substrate and tight membrane binding of PI-PLC, limiting enzyme hopping or scooting to the next substrate molecule. These results provide a direct analysis of vesicle binding and catalytic activity and shed light on how occupation of the activator site enhances enzymatic activity.
