The substrate specificity of brain microsomal phospholipase D.
Neurotransmitters activate a phospholipase D that is though to specifically hydrolyse phosphatidylcholine. This enzyme has a unique property known as transphosphatidylation: in the presence of an appropriate nucleophilic receptor such as an alcohol, phospholipase D will catalyse the production of phosphatidyl-alcohol. We have studied phospholipase D using an in vitro assay that uses [3H]butanol...
متن کاملSubstrate Specificity of d Ribozyme Cleavage
The specificity of d ribozyme cleavage was investigated using a trans-acting antigenomic d ribozyme. Under single turnover conditions, the wild type ribozyme cleaved the 11-mer ribonucleotide substrate with a rate constant of 0.34 min, an apparent Km of 17.9 nM and an apparent second-order rate constant of 1.89 3 10 min M. The substrate specificity of the d ribozyme was thoroughly investigated ...
متن کاملSubstrate specificity of rat brain ceramidase.
In this study, the substrate specificity of a newly identified rat brain ceramidase (CDase) was investigated. To this end, the major functional groups and stereochemistry of ceramide (Cer) were evaluated for their influence on the hydrolysis of substrate by this CDase. The results showed that, of the four possible stereoisomers of Cer, only the natural d-e-C(18)-Cer isomer was used as substrate...
متن کاملEngineering the substrate specificity of D-amino-acid oxidase.
The high resolution crystal structure of D-amino-acid oxidase (DAAO) from the yeast Rhodotorula gracilis provided us with the tool to engineer the substrate specificity of this flavo-oxidase. DAAO catalyzes the oxidative deamination of D-amino acids, with the exception of D-aspartate and D-glutamate (which are oxidized by D-aspartate oxidase, DASPO). Following sequence homology, molecular model...
متن کاملClickable Substrate Mimics Enable Imaging of Phospholipase D Activity
Chemical imaging techniques have played instrumental roles in dissecting the spatiotemporal regulation of signal transduction pathways. Phospholipase D (PLD) enzymes affect cell signaling by producing the pleiotropic lipid second messenger phosphatidic acid via hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine. It remains a mystery how this one lipid signal can cause such diverse physiological and pathological...
