Pancreatic phospholipase A(2): new views on old issues.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The recent development in the structure-function relationship of pancreatic phospholipase A(2) is reviewed. The results of extensive studies by a combination of site-directed mutagenesis, X-ray crystallography, and NMR have provided new insight into several old issues. In particular, we summarize current views on the active site, the interfacial binding site, the mechanism of interfacial activation, the roles of the hydrogen-bonding network and the catalytic dyad, and the conformational stability of the structure.

Hydrolysis of human milk fat globules by pancreatic lipase: role of colipase, phospholipase A2, and bile salts.
Human milk fat globules were used to explore how dietary triglycerides are hydrolyzed by pancreatic lipase. These triglycerides were hydrolyzed very slowly by lipase alone as if the surface layer of proteins and phospholipids impeded the action of the enzyme. The inhibition of lipase activity could be overcome by addition either of colipase or of pancreatic phospholipase A2. Colipase enhanced t...
متن کاملI-23: Freezing Oocytes: New or Old Ethical Issues?
Background: This paper considers whether the development of oocyte freezing raises any new or distinctive ethical issues. It will examine the ethical issues raised by this technique: the ’social’ use of egg freezing and how that might be defined; the use of egg freezing for cancer patients; and limitations and benefits of the technique. Materials and Methods: A consideration of the literature a...
متن کاملPhosphatidylcholine hydrolysis is required for pancreatic cholesterol esterase- and phospholipase A2-facilitated cholesterol uptake into intestinal Caco-2 cells.
Pancreatic secretion is required for efficient cholesterol absorption by the intestine, but the factors responsible for this effect have not been clearly defined. To identify factors involved and to investigate their role in cholesterol uptake, we studied the effect of Viokase(R), a porcine pancreatic extract, on cholesterol uptake into human intestinal Caco-2 cells. Viokase is capable of facil...
متن کاملImmunoreactive phospholipase A2 in serum in acute pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer.
Immunoreactive phospholipase A2 (EC 3.1.1.4) was measured by a new sensitive time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay in the serum of 58 healthy subjects and 103 patients with acute pancreatitis. Patients with acute pancreatitis were grouped according to the etiology and clinical severity of the disease. The mean phospholipase A2 concentration in the reference (healthy) group was 5.5 (SD 1.9) micrograms...
