Phospholipase A activity associated with membranes of human polymorphonuclear leucocytes.
Homogenates of human polymorphonuclear leucocytes (granulocytes) contain a Ca2+-dependent phospholipase A with optimal activity pH7.0. This enzyme is membrane-bound and is enriched in crude cytoplasmic-granule fraction.

Molecular cloning of the cDNA encoding pp36, a tyrosine-phosphorylated adaptor protein selectively expressed by T cells and natural killer cells. [PDF]
Activation of T and natural killer (NK) cells leads to the tyrosine phosphorylation of pp36 and to its association with several signaling molecules, including phospholipase Cgamma-1 and Grb2.

The action of phospholipase A on purified phospholipids, plasma and tissue preparations.
Earlier work in this Laboratory on the action of phospholipase A in aqueous systems indicated that the phospholipase A (phosphatide acyl-hydrolase, EC 3.1.1.4) in human pancreas, unlike the enzyme in snake venom from Cottonmouth moccasin (Agkistrodon ...

Breaking the Cycle, Cholesterol Cycling, and Synapse Damage in Response to Amyloid-ß [PDF]
Soluble amyloid-β (Aβ) oligomers, a key driver of pathogenesis in Alzheimer disease, bind to cellular prion proteins (PrPC) expressed on synaptosomes resulting in increased cholesterol concentrations, movement of cytoplasmic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) to ...

Phospholipase A in Gram-negative bacteria and its role in pathogenesis.
Phospholipase A (PLA) is one of the few enzymes present in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, and is likely to be involved in the membrane disruption processes that occur during host cell invasion.
