Stalling autophagy: a new function for Listeria phospholipases
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 ...

Modification of lecithin-based emulsions with phospholipases
Phospholipases have been used in different food processes, but mainly on degumming vegetable oils. More recently, the use of these enzymes has been extended to the manufacture of bread and dairy products. However, little is known on phospholipases effect

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 ...

Increased activity of secretory phospholipases A2 (sPLA2) type-II was previously observed in ileum of Crohn’s disease (CD). Our aims were to explore the involvement of calcium-independent (i)PLA2β in the release of sPLA2s from the human mast ...

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

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 ...

2-Oxoesters: A Novel Class of Potent and Selective Inhibitors of Cytosolic Group IVA Phospholipase A2. [PDF]
Cytosolic phospholipase A2 (GIVA cPLA2) is the only PLA2 that exhibits a marked preference for hydrolysis of arachidonic acid containing phospholipid substrates releasing free arachidonic acid and lysophospholipids and giving rise to the generation of ...

Relationship between NAFLD and coronary artery disease: A Mendelian randomization study
Abstract Background and Aims There is an ongoing debate on whether NAFLD is an active contributor or an innocent bystander in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of the present study was to assess the causal relationship between NAFLD and CAD.

The pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans produces an extracellular PLB1 (phospholipase B1), shown previously to be a virulence factor. A novel phospholipase (LPL1) with only LPL (lysophospholipase) and LPTA (transacylase) activities has now been ...
