Article Abstract
The interplay between inflammatory and redox processes is a ubiquitous and critical phenomenon in cell biology that involves numerous biological factors. Among them, secretory phospholipases A (sPLA) that catalyze the hydrolysis of the ester bond of phospholipids are key players. They can interact or be modulated by the presence of truncated oxidized phosphatidylcholines (OxPCs) produced under oxidative stress from phosphatidylcholine (PC) species. The present study examined this important, but rarely considered, sPLA modulation induced by the changes in biophysical properties of PC vesicles comprising various OxPC ratios in mono- or poly-unsaturated PCs. Being the most physiologically active OxPCs, 1-palmitoyl-2-(5'-oxo-valeroyl)--glycero-3-phosphocholine (POVPC) and 1-palmitoyl-2-glutaryl--glycero-3-phosphocholine (PGPC) have been selected for our study. Using fluorescence spectroscopy methods, we compared the effect of OxPCs on the lipid order as well as sPLA activity in large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) made of the heteroacid PC, either monounsaturated [1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl--glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC)], or polyunsaturated [1-palmitoyl-2-docosahexaenoyl--glycero-3-phosphocholine (PDPC)] at a physiological temperature. The effect of OxPCs on vesicle size was also assessed in both the mono- and polyunsaturated PC matrices. Results: OxPCs decrease the membrane lipid order of POPC and PDPC mixtures with PGPC inducing a much larger decrease in comparison with POVPC, indicative that the difference takes place at the glycerol level. Compared with POPC, PDPC was able to inhibit sPLA activity showing a protective effect of PDPC against enzyme hydrolysis. Furthermore, sPLA activity on its PC substrates was modulated by the OxPC membrane content. POVPC down-regulated sPLA activity, suggesting anti-inflammatory properties of this truncated oxidized lipid. Interestingly, PGPC had a dual and opposite effect, either inhibitory or enhancing on sPLA activity, depending on the protocol of lipid mixing. This difference may result from the chemical properties of the shortened -acyl chain residues (aldehyde group for POVPC, and carboxyl for PGPC), being, respectively, zwitterionic or anionic under hydration at physiological conditions.

The mechanism of allosteric regulation of calcium-independent phospholipase A by ATP and calmodulin binding to the ankyrin domain.

Group VIA calcium-independent phospholipase A (iPLA) is a member of the PLA superfamily that exhibits calcium-independent activity in contrast to the other two major types, secreted phospholipase A (sPLA) and cytosolic phospholipase A (cPLA), which both require calcium for their enzymatic activity. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) has been reported to allosterically activate iPLA, and this has now been verified with a lipidomics-based mixed-micelle assay, but its mechanism of action has been unknown. Hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) was employed to identify ATP interaction peptide regions located within the ankyrin repeat domain at which ATP interacts.

Plant () mutants are useful to reveal the regulatory mechanisms of immune responses. Thus, in crop plants, their agronomic traits, especially the grain quality are usually ignored. Here, we characterized a rice mutant named () that shows autoimmunity, broad-spectrum disease resistance and growth deterioration including decreased rice quality.

Presynaptic- or β-neurotoxicity of secreted phospholipases A (sPLA) is a complex process. For full expression of β-neurotoxicity, the enzymatic activity of the toxin is essential. However, it has been shown that not all toxic effects of a β-neurotoxin depend on its enzymatic activity, for example, the inhibition of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase.

Phagocytosis, an essential process for host defense, requires the coordination of a variety of signaling reactions. MT-II, an enzymatically inactive Lys49 phospholipase A (PLA) homolog, and MT-III, a catalytically-active Asp49 PLA, are known to activate phagocytosis in macrophages. In this study, the signaling pathways mediating phagocytosis, focusing on protein kinases, were investigated.
