The phosphatidylinositol phosphodiesterase of rat brain shows little activity under conditions likely to pertain in vivo (neutral pH and micromolar Ca(2+) concentrations). A short incubation of a brain supernatant with trypsin, or a longer pre-incubation of the supernatant alone, produce new forms of the enzyme, which are active under such conditions. A possible role of receptor-linked proteinases in initiating phosphatidylinositol catabolism is discussed.
