An appraisal of the role of biliary phospholipases in the pathogenesis of gallstone disease

, 1989
Human bile contains proteins that influence nucleation of cholesterol. Recently, it has been suggested that activity of phospholipases in bile may play a role in this process.

Hydrolytic Action of Phospholipases on Bacterial Membranes

, 1977
Substrate specificities of phospholipases C [EC 3.1.4.3] from Clostridium novyi, Clostridium per-fringens. Bacillus cereus, and Pseudomonas aureofaciens were studied under the same conditions.

Identification of Two Secreted Phospholipases A2 in Human Epidermis [PDF]

, 2000
Phospholipases A2 are enzymes that catalyze the release of fatty acids from the sn-2 position of phospholipids. Fatty acids have been suggested to play a key role in the barrier function of the epidermis.

Exosomes account for vesicle-mediated transcellular transport of activatable phospholipases and prostaglandins[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2010
Exosomes are bioactive vesicles released from multivesicular bodies (MVB) by intact cells and participate in intercellular signaling. We investigated the presence of lipid-related proteins and bioactive lipids in RBL-2H3 exosomes.

Synergism among oxidants, proteinases, phospholipases, microbial hemolysins, cationic proteins, and cytokines [PDF]

, 1992
A striking similarity exists between the pathogenetic properties of group A streptococci and those of activated mammalian professional phagocytes (neutrophils, macrophages).

Snake Venom Hemotoxic Enzymes: Biochemical Comparison between Crotalus Species from Central Mexico

Molecules, 2019
Snakebite envenoming is a serious medical problem in different areas of the world. In Latin America, the major prevalence is due to snakes of the family Viperidae, where rattlesnakes (Crotalus) are included.

Phospholipid Signaling in Crop Plants: A Field to Explore

Plants
In plant models such as Arabidopsis thaliana, phosphatidic acid (PA), a key molecule of lipid signaling, was shown not only to be involved in stress responses, but also in plant development and nutrition.

The Intriguing Phospholipases A(2) Homologues: Relevant Structural Features on Myotoxicity and Catalytic Inactivity

, 2009
Phospholipases A(2) homologues are found in the venom of Crotalinae snakes, being their main action related to myonecrosis induction. Although many studies on these toxins had already been performed, their mechanism of action remains unclear.
