An activator stimulating the enzymatic hydrolysis of phospholipids was purified to a homogeneous state from autolyzed Torulaspora delbrueckii cell washings. Autolyzed cell washings were extracted with chloroform and ethanol, and the activator was purified about 130-fold by sequential column chromatographies on DEAE-Sephacel, Sephacryl S-300, and TSK gel G 3000 SW (high performance liquid chromatography, HPLC). The molecular weight of the activator was about 175,000 as estimated by gel filtration on HPLC. However, the purified activator gave two protein bands corresponding to molecular weights from 102,000 to 129,000 and from 71,000 to 88,000, respectively, on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, when stained with silver stain reagent and periodic acid-Shiff (PAS) reagent. The activator was sensitive to heat treatment at 70℃ for 10 min. The purified activator had no enzymatic activity, but stimulated the hydrolysis of phospholipids by water-soluble and membrane-bound phospholipases B if the substrates were pre-incubated with the activator. No stimulation of hydrolysis by the enzyme was observed when the activator was pre-incubated with the enzyme. The hydrolytic rate of phosphatidylcholine by the enzyme at acidic pH (pH 2.6) depended upon the amount of activator added. On the other hand, the hydrolytic rate at alkaline pH (pH 7.6) was stimulated greatly by more than 0.04 nmol of the activator.
