Fluorogenic probes to monitor cytosolic phospholipase A2 activity.
Arachidonic acid derivatives equipped with either one or two fluorescent groups attached to the tip of the alkyl chains were synthesized and shown to function as inhibitor and substrate probes of cPLA2. The inhibitor probe was demonstrated to perform dual functions of inhibition and imaging while the substrate probe could be used for activity assay.
متن کاملA real-time fluorogenic assay for the visualization of glycoside hydrolase activity in planta.
There currently exists a diverse array of molecular probes for the in situ localization of polysaccharides, nucleic acids, and proteins in plant cells, including reporter enzyme strategies (e.g. protein-glucuronidase fusions). In contrast, however, there is a paucity of methods for the direct analysis of endogenous glycoside hydrolases and transglycosidases responsible for cell wall remodeling....
متن کاملAssaying phospholipase A2 activity.
Mammalian cells contain many structurally and functionally diverse phospholipases A2 (PLA2) that catalyze the hydrolysis of sn-2 fatty acid from membrane phospholipid. Assays are described for measuring the activity of Group IVA cytosolic PLA2alpha(cPLAalpha) and for secreted PLA2s (sPLA2) that are suitable for purified enzymes and for measuring activity in crude cell lysates and culture medium...
متن کاملVariability of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 measurements.
We read with interest the recent report in this journal by Khuseyinova and colleagues regarding the variability of serial lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) measurements in postmyocardial infarction patients (1). Because Lp-PLA2 plays a role in inflammation but, unlike other inflammatory proteins , is not an acute-phase reactant (2), nonspecificity issues associated with acute-ph...
متن کاملDiagnosis of snake envenomation using a simple phospholipase A2 assay
Diagnosis of snake envenomation is challenging but critical for deciding on antivenom use. Phospholipase A2 enzymes occur commonly in snake venoms and we hypothesized that phospholipase activity detected in human blood post-bite may be indicative of envenomation. Using a simple assay, potentially a bedside test, we detected high phospholipase activity in sera of patients with viper and elapid e...
