Phylogenetic analysis of phospholipase C genes from Clostridium perfringens types A to E and Clostridium novyi [PDF]
The phylogenetic interrelationships between strains of 5 toxin types (A to E) of Clostridium perfringens were examined by analysis of differences in the nucleotide sequences of phospholipase C genes (plc genes) among 10 strains, including 3 strains for which the plc gene sequences have been previously reported.

Cloning of the Human Phospholipase C-γ1 Promoter and Identification of a DR6-type Vitamin D-responsive Element [PDF]
The 5'-flanking region of the human phospholipase C-gamma1 gene was isolated from a human P1 genomic DNA library. The S1-nuclease mapping and primer extension analysis revealed that there is a single transcriptional start site located at 135 bases upstream from the translation start codon in the human phospholipase C-gamma1 gene.

Production of Phospholipase C (Alpha-toxin), Haemolysins and Lethal Toxins by Clostridium perfringens Types A to D [PDF]
To obtain high yields of extracellular enzymes and toxins for immunological analysis, type culture collection strains of Clostridium perfringens types A to D and 28 fresh isolates of C. perfringens type A from humans were grown in fermenters under controlled conditions in a pre-reduced proteose peptone medium.

Metabolic pathways of eicosanoids—derivatives of arachidonic acid and their significance in skin [PDF]
The skin is a barrier that protects the human body against environmental factors (physical, including solar radiation, chemicals, and pathogens). The integrity and, consequently, the effective metabolic activity of skin cells is ensured by the cell ...

Phenotypes of Pain Behavior in Phospholipase C-Related but Catalytically Inactive Protein Type 1 Knockout Mice [PDF]
Phospholipase C-related inactive protein (PRIP) plays important roles in trafficking to the plasma membrane of GABAA receptor, which is involved in the dominant inhibitory neurotransmission in the spinal cord and plays an important role in nociceptive transmission. However, the role of PRIP in pain sensation remains unknown.

Collagen type IV stimulates an increase in intracellular Ca2+ in pancreatic acinar cells via activation of phospholipase C [PDF]
Intracellular Ca2+ responses to extracellular matrix molecules were studied in suspensions of pancreatic acinar cells loaded with Fura-2. Collagen type I, laminin, fibrinogen and fibronectin were unable to raise cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), whereas collagen type IV, at concentrations from 5 to 50 micrograms/ml, significantly increased ...

Purification of two distinct types of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C from rat liver. Enzymological and structural studies [PDF]
Two kinds of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) were purified from rat liver by acid precipitation and several steps of column chromatography. About 50% of the activity could be precipitated when the pH of the liver homogenate was lowered to pH 4.7. The redissolved precipitate yielded two peaks, PLC I and PLC II, in an Affi-gel Blue column,

Autologous Extracellular Cytochrome c Is an Endogenous Ligand for Leucine-rich α2-Glycoprotein and β-Type Phospholipase A2 Inhibitor [PDF]
Beta-type phospholipase A(2) inhibitory protein (PLIbeta) from the serum of the venomous snake Gloydius brevicaudus neutralizes basic phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) from its own venom, and it has 33% sequence homology with human leucine-rich alpha(2)-glycoprotein (LRG), which has been recently reported to bind cytochrome c (Cyt c) (Cummings, C., Walder, J.

The parathyroid hormone (PTH)/PTH-related peptide (PTHrP) receptor (PTH1R) belongs to family B of seven-transmembrane-spanning receptors and is activated by PTH and PTHrP. Upon PTH stimulation, the rat PTH1R becomes phosphorylated at seven serine residues.
