HorticulturaePhospholipases (PLs) are key enzymes involved in membrane remodeling, structure, and signaling during plant stress responses. This study analyzed early and long-term transcriptional regulation of PL isoforms—PLD (CsPLDα,β,δ,γ,ζ), PLA (CsPLA2α,2β, CsPAT1),

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2013 Introduction Candida albicans is a commensal and opportunistic agent that causes infection in immunocompromised individuals. Several attributes contribute to the virulence and pathogenicity of this yeast, including the production of germ tubes (GTs) and ...

Insights into the mechanism of phospholipid hydrolysis by plant non-specific phospholipase C
Nature Communications, 2023 Non-specific phospholipase C (NPC) is a plant-specific phospholipid-hydrolyzing enzyme. Here, the authors define the molecular basis of how Arabidopsis NPC works, and provide new mechanistic insights into the members of phospholipase family.

Bio-Protocol, 2021 Previous expression/purification strategies for cytosolic phospholipase A2α C2-domain in Escherichia coli have relied on refolded protein recovered from inclusion bodies and sometimes containing C-terminal Cys139Ala and Cys141Ser substitutions to ...

Ezrin-related phosphoinositide pathway modifies RhoA and Rac1 in human osteosarcoma cell lines [PDF]
, 2015 Selected Phosphoinositide-specific Phospholipase C (PI-PLC) enzymes occupy the convergence point of the broad range of pathways that promote Rho and Ras GTPase mediated signalling, which also regulate the activation of ezrin, a member of the ezrin ...

Bacterial phospholipase A: structure and function of an integral membrane phospholipase [PDF]
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2000 Within the large family of lipolytic enzymes, phospholipases constitute a very diverse subgroup with physiological functions such as digestion and signal transduction. Most phospholipases may associate with membranes at the lipid-water interface. However, in many Gram-negative bacteria, a phospholipase is present which is located integrally in the ...

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.

Lactadherin inhibits secretory phospholipase A2 activity on pre-apoptotic leukemia cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) is a critical component of insect and snake venoms and is secreted by mammalian leukocytes during inflammation. Elevated secretory PLA2 concentrations are associated with autoimmune diseases and septic shock. Many sPLA2'

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

Phospholipase A2 as a mechanosensor
Biophysical Journal, 1995 Osmotic swelling of large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) causes membrane stretching and thus reduces the lateral packing of lipids. This is demonstrated to modulate strongly the catalytic activity of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) toward a fluorescent phospholipid, 1-palmitoyl-2-[(6-pyren-1-yl)]decanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PPDPC) residing in LUVs ...
