The PLC1 gene product of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a homolog of the delta isoform of mammalian phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC). We found that two genes (SPL1 and SPL2), when overexpressed, can bypass the temperature-sensitive growth defect of a plc1delta cell. SPL1 is identical to the PHO81 gene, which encodes an inhibitor of a cyclin (Pho80p)-dependent protein kinase (Pho85p) complex (Cdk). In addition to overproduction of Pho81p, two other conditions that inactivate this Cdk, a cyclin (pho80delta) mutation and growth on low-phosphate medium, also permitted growth of plc1delta cells at the restrictive temperature. Suppression of the temperature sensitivity of plc1delta cells by pho80delta does not depend upon the Pho4p transcriptional regulator, the only known substrate of the Pho80p/Pho85p Cdk. The second suppressor, SPL2, encodes a small (17-kD) protein that bears similarity to the ankyrin repeat regions present in Pho81p and in other known Cdk inhibitors. Both pho81delta and spl2delta show a synthetic phenotype in combination with plc1delta. Unlike single mutants, plc1delta pho81delta and plc1delta spl2delta double mutants were unable to grow on synthetic complete medium, but were able to grow on rich medium.

Signaling pathways and bone marrow microenvironment in myelodysplastic neoplasms.

Key signaling pathways within the Bone Marrow Microenvironment (BMM), such as Notch, Phosphoinositide-Specific Phospholipase C (PI-PLCs), Transforming Growth Factor β (TGF-β), and Nuclear Factor Kappa B (NF-κB), play a vital role in the progression of Myelodysplastic Neoplasms (MDS). Among the various BMM cell types, Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) are particularly central to these pathways. While these signaling routes can independently affect both MSCs and Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs), they most importantly alter the dynamics of their interactions, leading to abnormal changes in survival, differentiation, and quiescence.

AtPLC1 plays a critical role in plant growth, development, and response to drought stress. Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) hydrolyzes substrates to generate secondary messengers crucial for plant growth, development, and stress responses. Drought escape (DE) response is an adaptive strategy that plants employ under drought conditions.

Article Synopsis
- Primary atopic disorders (PAD) are rare genetic conditions caused by specific gene variants that affect skin and immune function, making diagnosis challenging among common allergic disease cases.
- Identifying PAD requires recognizing clinical red flags like family history and unusual infections, as conventional lab tests are inadequate for definitive diagnosis.
- Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) enhances diagnostic efficiency and accuracy, but requires careful interpretation and collaboration among specialists to effectively manage PAD cases.
PLCγ1 deficiency in chondrocytes accelerates the age-related changes in articular cartilage and subchondral bone.

Article Synopsis
- - Ageing is a major factor in developing osteoarthritis (OA), and this study examines how phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase Cγ (PLCγ1) influences age-related changes in cartilage and bone linked to OA.
- - Researchers used d-galactose (d-Gal) to induce chondrocyte senescence in rat and mouse models, using various lab techniques to measure cell growth and gene expression, revealing that d-Gal promotes ageing in cartilage and causes abnormalities in subchondral bone.
- - Findings indicate that decreased PLCγ1 expression in chondrocytes leads to greater senescence and accelerated ageing changes in cartilage and bone; thus, PLCγ1 could be a potential therapeutic target
From Classical to Alternative Pathways of 2-Arachidonoylglycerol Synthesis: AlterAGs at the Crossroad of Endocannabinoid and Lysophospholipid Signaling.

2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) is the most abundant endocannabinoid (EC), acting as a full agonist at both CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors. It is synthesized on demand in postsynaptic membranes through the sequential action of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase Cβ1 (PLCβ1) and diacylglycerol lipase α (DAGLα), contributing to retrograde signaling upon interaction with presynaptic CB1. However, 2-AG production might also involve various combinations of PLC and DAGL isoforms, as well as additional intracellular pathways implying other enzymes and substrates.
