Phosphatidate phosphohydrolase activity as a marker for surfactant synthesis in organotypic cultures of type II alveolar pneumonocytes.

The specific activity of phosphatidate phosphohydrolase (PAPase) (EC 3.1.3.4) has been assayed in organotypic cultures of foetal rat lung type II alveolar pneumonocytes and in L2 cells derived from type II cells of the adult rat lung. This enzyme catalyses a critical step in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, the major lipid component of pulmonary surfactant. Surfactant is produced by the ma...

A rapid sensitive assay for phosphatidate phosphohydrolase.

For a purified preparation of the soluble form of phosphatidate phosphohydrolase (EC 3.1.3.4) from guinea pig cerebral cortex, I-O-alkyl-racglycerol 3-phosphate was found to be accepted as a substrate. This substrate analog was tritium-labeled in order to serve in a rapid sensitive assay for the enzyme, in which labeled I-alkyl glycerol is released. Heat denaturation and enzyme activity depende...

The measurement of phosphatidate phosphohydrolase in human amniotic fluid.

Phosphatidate phosphohydrolase (EC 3.1.3.4) activity can be found in late gestational human amniotic fluid and is thought to originate in type II alveolar cells of the fetal lungs where it plays an important role in lung surfactant synthesis. In the present study, phosphatidate phosphohydrolase activity was detected and characterized in a 105 000 X g pellet of amniotic fluid using either [32P]p...

Phosphatidate phosphohydrolase and the regulation of glycerolipid biosynthesis.

Phosphatidate is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of diacylglycerol, triacylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine and CDP-diacylglycerol. In addition, phosphatidate may be subject to degradation by particulate phospholipases. The factors regulating the disposition of phosphatidate have interested numerous investigators. We have studied the reactions of phosphatidate metabol...

Propranolol, a phosphatidate phosphohydrolase inhibitor, also inhibits protein kinase C.

Propranolol, a beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist, also inhibits phosphatidate phosphohydrolase, the enzyme that converts phosphatidic acid into diacylglycerol. This latter effect has prompted recent use of propranolol in studies examining the importance of diacylglycerol and phosphatidic acid in cellular signalling events. Here, we show that propranolol is also an inhibitor of protein kinase ...
