Secretory Phospholipases A2 in Plants [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Secreted phospholipases (sPLA2s) in plants are a growing group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of sn-2 glycerophospholipids to lysophospholipids and free fatty acids. Until today, around only 20 sPLA2s were reported from plants.

Bacterial phospholipases C with dual activity: phosphatidylcholinesterase and sphingomyelinase
FEBS Open Bio, 2021 Bacterial phospholipases and sphingomyelinases are lipolytic esterases that are structurally and evolutionarily heterogeneous. These enzymes play crucial roles as virulence factors in several human and animal infectious diseases.

Combining phospholipases and a liquid lipase for one-step biodiesel production using crude oils [PDF]
Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2014 BackgroundEnzymatic biodiesel is becoming an increasingly popular topic in bioenergy literature because of its potential to overcome the problems posed by chemical processes. However, the high cost of the enzymatic process still remains the main drawback

Recent Advances in the Cellular and Developmental Biology of Phospholipases in Plants
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 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 ...

Phospholipases and Membrane Curvature: What Is Happening at the Surface?
Membranes, 2023 In this revision work, we emphasize the close relationship between the action of phospholipases and the modulation of membrane curvature and curvature stress resulting from this activity.
