Crystal Structures of the Plant Phospholipase A1 Proteins Reveal a Unique Dimerization Domain

Molecules, 2022
Phospholipase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes various phospholipid substrates at specific ester bonds and plays important roles such as membrane remodeling, as digestive enzymes, and the regulation of cellular mechanism.

Cellular cholesterol efflux is modulated by phospholipid-derived signaling molecules in familial HDL deficiency/Tangier disease fibroblasts

Journal of Lipid Research, 2001
Familial HDL deficiency (FHD) is the heterozygous form of Tangier disease (TD). Mutations of the ABCA1 gene cause FHD and TD. FHD/TD cells are unable to normally efflux cholesterol onto nascent HDL particles, which are rapidly catabolized. TD fibroblasts

Phospholipase C isozymes as effectors of Ras superfamily GTPases

Journal of Lipid Research, 2009
The physiological effects of many extracellular stimuli are initiated through receptor-promoted activation of phospholipase C and inositol lipid signaling pathways.

Lipid levels in sperm, eggs, and during fertilization in Xenopus laevis

Journal of Lipid Research, 2008
Critical developmental periods, such as fertilization, involve metabolic activation, membrane fusion events such as sperm-egg or plasma membrane-cortical granule merger, and production and hydrolysis of phospholipids.

Activation of phospholipase D-2 by P2X7 agonists in rat submandibular gland acini

Journal of Lipid Research, 2002
Exogenous ATP stimulated phospholipase D (PLD), but not sphingomyelinase in rat submandibular gland (SMG) acini. PLD activation was dependent upon extracellular Ca2+ and did not involve intracellular Ca2+ mobilization or phosphoinositide-specific ...

PTEN regulates phospholipase D and phospholipase C [PDF]

Human Molecular Genetics, 2007
PTEN is an ubiquitously expressed tumor suppressor which plays a prominent role in the pathogenesis of many types of sporadic solid tumors, including breast cancer, as well as hematologic malignancies. Germline PTEN mutations cause 85% of Cowden syndrome (CS), characterized by a high risk of breast and thyroid cancers, and 65% of Bannayan-Riley ...

Current data on the effectiveness of gliclazide and molecular mechanisms of action of the drug

Сахарный диабет, 2020
With the growing prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) the possibility of treating it with available drugs is one of the main issues. Although glycemic control and reduction of micro- and macrovascular outcomes remain important aspects of ...

An amphitropic cAMP-binding protein in yeast mitochondria [PDF]

, 1989
: We describe the first example of a mitochondrial protein with a covalently attached phos-phatidylinositol moiety acting as a membrane anchor. The protein can be metabolically labeled with both stearic acid and inositol.

Variable Surface Glycoprotein from Trypanosoma brucei Undergoes Cleavage by Matrix Metalloproteinases: An in silico Approach

Pathogens, 2019
In order to survive as extracellular parasites in the mammalian host environment, Trypanosoma brucei has developed efficient mechanisms of immune system evasion, which include the abundant expression of a variable surface glycoprotein (VSG) coat.
