The Phospholipases A of Epidermis

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1980
Phospholipases A have been characterized in fetal rat epidermis. Both a calcium dependent phospholipase A with pH optimum of 8.5 and a calcium independent enzyme with a pH optimum of 4.5 were found. Activity against both acyl groups of phosphatidyl choline were found for both enzymes and the findings suggested that the acid enzyme (pH 4.5) is primarily

Pleural Lubrication

Lubricants, 2016
During breathing, the pleural surfaces slide against each other continuously without damage. Pleural liquid and lubricating molecules should provide the lubrication of the sliding surfaces, thus protecting the mesothelium from shear-induced abrasion.

The Venom Proteome of the Ecologically Divergent Australian Elapid, Southern Death Adder Acanthophis antarcticus

Toxins
The composition of Australian snake venoms is the least well-known of any continent. We characterised the venom proteome of the southern death adder Acanthophis antarcticus—one of the world’s most morphologically and ecologically divergent elapids. Using

Monolysocardiolipin: improved preparation with high yield

Journal of Lipid Research, 2011
A simple, high-yielding preparation of monolysocardiolipin (MLCL) by phospholipase A2 hydrolysis of cardiolipin (CL) in methanol on a semi-preparative scale is described. In methanol, phospholipase A2 preferentially hydrolyzes CL to MLCL.

Rice phospholipase C4 enhances Ca2+ and ROS bursts during effector-triggered immunity to induce ferroptotic cell death

Plant Communications
Phospholipases are major regulators of lipid-dependent signaling and play crucial roles in plant immunity. Rice (Oryza sativa) phospholipase C4 (OsPLC4) is a major functional enzyme in the rice phospholipase family that regulates intracellular Ca2 ...

Factor XII-Deficient Chicken Plasma as a Useful Target for Screening of Pro- and Anticoagulant Animal Venom Toxins

Toxins, 2020
The sensitivity of vertebrate citrated plasma to pro- and anticoagulant venom or toxins occurs on a microscale level (micrograms). Although it improves responses to agonists, recalcification triggers a relatively fast thrombin formation process in ...

Phosphatidylcholine in Intestinal Mucus Protects against Mucosal Invasion of Microbiota and Consequent Inflammation

Livers
Intestinal mucus serves as the first line barrier within the mucosa to protect against microbiota attack due to its water-repellent properties, which are the result of the high abundance of phosphatidylcholine bound to mucins.
