Acinetobacter baumannii Virulence Is Mediated by the Concerted Action of Three Phospholipases D. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Acinetobacter baumannii causes a broad range of opportunistic infections in humans. Its success as an emerging pathogen is due to a combination of increasing antibiotic resistance, environmental persistence and adaptation to the human host.

Enzymatic Degumming of Rice Bran Oil Using Different Commercial Phospholipases and Their Cocktails

Life, 2021
Rice bran oil is a highly nutritious vegetable oil, as it is rich in tocols and γ-oryzanol. Degumming is the first step in the vegetable oil refining process, and its main objective is the removal of phospholipids or gums. In the present study, enzymatic

Inflammatory Effects of Bothrops Phospholipases A₂: Mechanisms Involved in Biosynthesis of Lipid Mediators and Lipid Accumulation

Toxins, 2021
Phospholipases A2s (PLA2s) constitute one of the major protein groups present in the venoms of viperid and crotalid snakes. Snake venom PLA2s (svPLA2s) exhibit a remarkable functional diversity, as they have been described to induce a myriad of toxic ...

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.

Novel Bradykinin-Potentiating Peptides and Three-Finger Toxins from Viper Venom: Combined NGS Venom Gland Transcriptomics and Quantitative Venom Proteomics of the Azemiops feae Viper

Biomedicines, 2020
Feae’s viper Azemipos feae belongs to the Azemiopinae subfamily of the Viperidae family. The effects of Viperidae venoms are mostly coagulopathic with limited neurotoxicity manifested by phospholipases A2. From A.

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 ...

Evaluation of the Brazilian functional fruit Morinda citrifolia as phospholipases A2 and proteases modulator

Phytomedicine Plus, 2021
Morinda citrifolia is a plant widely consumed as food and used in folk medicine. However, there is little scientific information regarding its therapeutic properties. In this study, aqueous extracts from the peel and pulp of M.
