Intestinal Phospholipase, a Novel Enzyme [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Investigation, 1982 We evaluated phospholipase activity in the intestine of rats and other species. Phospholipase activity was assayed by a surface barostat technique or an egg yolk titration system. Mucosal activity was found only by the surface barostat technique with phosphatidylglycerol as substrate; it was not found with phosphatidylcholine as substrate in assays by ...

Apoptotic signaling through CD95 (Fas/Apo-1) activates an acidic sphingomyelinase. [PDF]
, 1994 Intracellular pathways leading from membrane receptor engagement to apoptotic cell death are still poorly characterized. We investigated the intracellular signaling generated after cross-linking of CD95 (Fas/Apo-1 antigen), a broadly expressed cell ...

PLoS 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

The emerging roles of PAF acetylhydrolase
Journal of Lipid Research, 2009 Platelet-activating factor (PAF), a phospholipid autacoid with potent effects throughout the innate immune system, is selectively degraded by two small families of PAF acetylhydrolases (PAF-AHs).

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.

Phospholipase A from Bee Venom [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1971 The phospholipase A from the venom of the common European honey bee (Apis mellifica) has been completely purified. The final product (13 g from 700 g of crude venom) readily crystallizes and is homogeneous with respect to starch gel electrophoresis at pH 8.0, isoelectric focussing in polyacrylamide gel in the pH range 3–10, and sedimentation and ...

Cyclosporin A inhibits PGE2 release from vascular smooth muscle cells [PDF]
, 1987 The influence of the fungoid undecapeptide cyclosporin A (CyA) on PGE2 release from cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells was investigated in this study.

Snake and spider toxins induce a rapid recovery of function of botulinum neurotoxin paralysed neuromuscular junction [PDF]
, 2015 Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) and some animal neurotoxins (-Bungarotoxin, -Btx, from elapid snakes and -Latrotoxin, -Ltx, from black widow spiders) are pre-synaptic neurotoxins that paralyse motor axon terminals with similar clinical outcomes in patients.

Stalling autophagy: a new function for Listeria phospholipases
Microbial Cell, 2014 Listeria monocytogenes is a Gram-positive bacterial pathogen that induces its own uptake in non-phagocytic cells. Following invasion, Listeria escapes from the entry vacuole through the secretion of a pore-forming toxin, listeriolysin O (LLO) that acts ...
