The Phospholipases A of Epidermis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Investigative Dermatology, 1980
Phospholipases A have been characterized in fetal rat epidermis. Both a calcium dependent phospholipase A with pH optimum of 8.5 and a calcium independent enzyme with a pH optimum of 4.5 were found. Activity against both acyl groups of phosphatidyl choline were found for both enzymes and the findings suggested that the acid enzyme (pH 4.5) is primarily

Inhibition of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, a novel facet in the pleiotropic activities of snake venom phospholipases A2.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Phospholipases A2 represent the most abundant family of snake venom proteins. They manifest an array of biological activities, which is constantly expanding. We have recently shown that a protein bitanarin, isolated from the venom of the puff adder Bitis

Phospholipases: From Structure to Biological Function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Phospholipases are a ubiquitous group of enzymes that hydrolyze ester bonds within membrane phospholipids. These enzymes serve multiple biological functions that go far beyond a mere membrane remodeling role in cellular homeostasis; they also play key ...

Brown spider venom phospholipases D: From molecular biology and structural analyses to potential vaccine and serum therapy applications

open access: yes, 2023
In this chapter, we initially elaborate on the identification and characterization of brown spider venom phospholipases D (BSVPLDs) based on “omics” approaches, with an emphasis on transcriptomic and proteomic analyses.

Global analysis of putative phospholipases in Plasmodium falciparum reveals an essential role of the phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C in parasite maturation

open access: yesmBio, 2023
For its replication within red blood cells, the malaria parasite depends on a highly active and regulated lipid metabolism. Enzymes involved in lipid metabolic processes such as phospholipases are, therefore, potential drug targets.

Lipases and proteases inhibition by Averrhoa carambola L. fruit extracts

open access: yesPhytomedicine Plus, 2021
Background: Proteases and phospholipases A2 are involved in processes related to hemostasis. Medicinal plants which contain bioactive phytochemicals, can act as enzymatic modulators.

Subcellular localization of the phospholipases A of rat heart: evidence for a cytosolic phospholipase A1.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1985
During myocardial ischemia increased levels of lysoglycerophospholipids have been reported which may be deleterious to myocardial function. Phospholipases are presumed to be important in the regulation of this process.

A neurotoxic phospholipase A2 impairs yeast amphiphysin activity and reduces endocytosis. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
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 ...

Role of Phospholipases in Fungal Fitness, Pathogenicity and Drug Development- Lessons from Cryptococcus neoformans

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2010
Many pathogenic microbes, including many fungi, produce phospholipases which facilitate survival of the pathogen in vivo, invasion and dissemination throughout the host, expression of virulence traits and evasion of host immune defense mechanisms.
