Reminiscence of phospholipase B in Penicillium notatum
نویسنده
چکیده
Since the phospholipase B (PLB) was reported as a deacylase of both lecithin and lysolecithin yielding fatty acids and glycerophosphocholine (GPC), there was a question as to whether it is a single enzyme or a mixture of a phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and a lysophospholipase (LPL). We purified the PLB in Penicillium notatum and showed that it catalyzed deacylation of sn-1 and sn-2 fatty acids of 1,2-diacylphospholipids and also sn-1 or sn-2 fatty acids of 1- or 2-monoacylphospholipids (lysophospholipids). Further, it also has a monoacyllipase activity. The purified PLB is a glycoprotein with m.w. of 91,300. The sugar moiety is M9 only and the protein moiety consists of 603 amino acids. PLB, different from PLA2, shows other enzymatic activities, such as transacylase, lipase and acylesterase. PLB activity is influenced by various substances, e.g. detergents, deoxycholate, diethylether, Fe(3+), and endogenous protease. Therefore, PLB might have broader roles than PLA2 in vivo. The database shows an extensive sequence similarity between P. notatum PLB and fungal PLB, cPLA2 and patatin, suggesting a homologous relationship. The catalytic triad of cPLA2, Ser, Asp and Arg, is also present in P. notatum PLB. Other related PLBs, PLB/Lipases are discussed.

Purification of phospholipase B from Penicillium notatum by hydrophobic chromatography on palmitoyl cellulose.
Phospholipase B (lysolecithin acyl-hydrolase, EC 3.1.1.5) from the mycelia of Penicillium notatum (Institute for Fermentation, Osaka, Japan; No.4640) was adsorbed from a crude solution to palmitoyl cellulose. Adsorption was efficient at pH 4 at low ionic strength (10 mM buffer), and at pH 4-9 at higher ionic strength (1-2M NaCl in 10 mM buffer). The adsorbed enzyme was eluted from the cellulose...

The effects of some antibiotics on activities of phospholipase A2, B and C were investigated in vitro. Tetracyclines, macrolides, chloramphenicol and carbenicillin inhibited the activity of Crotalus adamanteus phospholipase A2 towards phospholipids of egg-yolk emulsions. When the ability to inhibit the activity of Penicillium notatum phospholipase B towards mixed micelles of phosphatidylcholine...
متن کاملOxidative ring fission of the naphthoquinones lapachol and dichloroallyl lawsone by Penicillium notatum.
The naphthoquinones lapachol and dichloroallyl lawsone readily undergo oxidative ring fission when incubated with several fungi and streptomycetes. Penicillium notatum was employed to produce the ring fission product of dichloroallyl lawsone which was isolated and characterized by spectral analyses and chemical synthesis. The mechanism of oxidative ring fission of lapachol was studied by growin...
