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 A in Trypanosomatids [PDF]
Phospholipases are a complex and important group of enzymes widespread in nature, that play crucial roles in diverse biochemical processes and are classified as A1, A2, C, and D. Phospholipases A1and A2activities have been linked to pathogenesis in various microorganisms, and particularly in pathogenic protozoa they have been implicated in cell ...

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.

Phospholipases A and Lysophospholipases in protozoan parasites
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 ...

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 ...

Phospholipase A1 (PLA1) is an enzyme that hydrolyzes phospholipids and produces 2-acyl-lysophospholipids and fatty acids. This lipolytic activity is conserved in a wide range of organisms but is carried out by a diverse set of PLA1 enzymes. Where their function is known, PLA1s have been shown to act as digestive enzymes, possess central roles in ...
