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 ...

Human phospholipases A2: a functional and evolutionary analysis
Phospholipases A2 (PLA2) are capable of hydrolyzing the sn-2 position of glycerophospholipids to release fatty acids and lysophospholipids. The PLA2 superfamily enzymes are widespread and present in most mammalian cells and tissues, regulating metabolism,

Interface of Phospholipase Activity, Immune Cell Function, and Atherosclerosis
Phospholipases are a family of lipid-altering enzymes that can either reduce or increase bioactive lipid levels. Bioactive lipids elicit signaling responses, activate transcription factors, promote G-coupled-protein activity, and modulate membrane ...

Substrate-Specific Inhibition Constants for Phospholipase A2 Acting on Unique Phospholipid Substrates in Mixed Micelles and Membranes Using Lipidomics. [PDF]
Assaying lipolytic enzymes is extremely challenging because they act on water-insoluble lipid substrates, which are normally components of micelles, vesicles, and cellular membranes.

A neurotoxic phospholipase A2 impairs yeast amphiphysin activity and reduces endocytosis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Presynaptically neurotoxic phospholipases A(2) inhibit synaptic vesicle recycling through endocytosis. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Here we provide insight into the action of a presynaptically neurotoxic phospholipase A(2) ammodytoxin A (AtxA) on ...

Secretory Phospholipases A2 in Plants [PDF]
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.
