Activation of bacterial ceramidase by anionic glycerophospholipids: possible involvement in ceramide hydrolysis on atopic skin by Pseudomonas ceramidase.
We have reported previously that the ceramidase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa AN17 isolated from a patient with atopic dermatitis requires detergents for hydrolysis of ceramide (Cer) [Okino, Tani, Imayama and Ito (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 14368--14373]. In the present study, we report that some glycerophospholipids strongly activated the hydrolysis of Cer by Pseudomonas ceramidase in the absence...
متن کاملCeramidase activity in bacterial skin flora as a possible cause of ceramide deficiency in atopic dermatitis.
A marked decrease in the content of ceramide has been reported in the horny layer of the epidermis in atopic dermatitis (AD). This decrease impairs the permeability barrier of the epidermis, resulting in the characteristic dry and easily antigen-permeable skin of AD, since ceramide serves as the major water-holding molecule in the extracellular space of the horny layer. On the other hand, the s...
متن کاملSimultaneous quantitative analysis of ceramide and sphingosine in mouse blood by naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxyaldehyde derivatization after hydrolysis with ceramidase.
Ceramide and sphingosine are sphingolipids with important functional and structural roles in cells. In this paper we report a new enzyme-based method to simultaneously quantify the levels of ceramide and sphingosine in biological samples. This method utilizes purified human recombinant acid ceramidase to completely hydrolyze ceramide to sphingosine, followed by derivatization of the latter with...
متن کاملInterfacial Regulation of Acid Ceramidase Activity STIMULATION OF CERAMIDE DEGRADATION BY LYSOSOMAL LIPIDS AND SPHINGOLIPID ACTIVATOR
The lysosomal degradation of ceramide is catalyzed by acid ceramidase and requires sphingolipid activator proteins (SAP) as cofactors in vivo. The aim of this study was to investigate how ceramide is hydrolyzed by acid ceramidase at the water-membrane interface in the presence of sphingolipid activator proteins in a liposomal assay system. The degradation of membrane-bound ceramide was signific...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of a novel ceramidase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
We report here a novel type of ceramidase of Pseudomonas aeruginosa AN17 isolated from the skin of a patient with atopic dermatitis. The enzyme was purified 83,400-fold with an overall yield of 21.1% from a culture supernatant of strain AN17. After being stained with a silver staining solution, the purified enzyme showed a single protein band, and its molecular mass was estimated to be 70 kDa o...
