Phospholipases A and Lysophospholipases in protozoan parasites [PDF]
Phospholipases (PLs) and Lysophospholipases (LysoPLs) are a diverse group of esterases responsible for phospholipid or lysophospholipid hydrolysis. They are involved in several biological processes, including lipid catabolism, modulation of the immune ...

Recent Advances in the Cellular and Developmental Biology of Phospholipases in Plants
Phospholipases (PLs) are lipid-hydrolyzing enzymes known to have diverse signaling roles during plant abiotic and biotic stress responses. They catalyze lipid remodeling, which is required to generate rapid responses of plants to environmental cues ...

Search for and functional annotation of multi-domain PLA2 family proteins in flatworms
The phospholipase A2 (PLA2) is a superfamily of hydrolases that catalyze the hydrolysis of phospholipids and play a key role in many molecular processes in the cells and the organism as a whole.

The PNPLA family of enzymes: characterisation and biological role
This paper brings a brief review of the human patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein (PNPLA) family. Even though it consists of only nine members, their physiological roles and mechanisms of their catalytic activity are not fully understood.

Phospholipases C and D and Their Role in Biotic and Abiotic Stresses
Plants, as sessile organisms, have adapted a fine sensing system to monitor environmental changes, therefore allowing the regulation of their responses. As the interaction between plants and environmental changes begins at the surface, these changes are ...

Functional Modulation of Human Macrophages by Secreted Phospholipases A2: Implications in Cancer
Cancer-related inflammation has recently emerged as an important component of cancer pathogenesis that is able to promote tumor initiation and progression, and the acquisition of the known hallmark capabilities, including evasion from immunosurveillance.

Anti-Candida Activity of Geraniol: Effect on Hydrolytic Enzyme Secretion and Biofilm Formation
Existing antifungal drugs available today are low in efficacy, high in toxicity and cause multidrug resistance. Anti-Candida potential of geraniol, an acyclic monoterpene alcohol was evaluated and secretion of hydrolytic enzymes, adherence and biofilm ...
