Synthesis and secretion of phospholipase C by oral spirochetes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Four strains of oral treponemes and Treponema phagedenis Reiter synthesize and secrete phospholipase C (PLC), which was detected by the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenylphosphorylcholine. PLC was detected in gingival crevicular fluid from diseased but not from healthy sulci. The initiation and progression of periodontal lesions may begin with the hydrolysis of membrane phospholipids by PLC.

STUDIES ON PHOSPHOLIPASE C FROM MELIA AZADIRACHTA SEEDS
The activity of phospholipase C in crude enzymatic preparation of Melia azadiracht seeds (Neem seeds) was studied by the use of lecithin as a substrate in aqueous medium. The enzyme activity was found optimum at pH 2.5 and temperature 35?C. The phospholipase C was found heat labile, being inactivated 88% within 10 minutes at 90°C
متن کاملEvaluation of proteinase and phospholipase activity of Candida albicans strains isolated from the mouth of patients with controlled and uncontrolled diabetes mellitus in Qazvin province: Short Communication
Pathophysiological changes in the mouth of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) predispose to overgrowth of Candida albicans. Various virulence factors such as proteinase and phospholipase production are involved in the process of degradation of the host cell membrane. These enzymes are involved in binding Candida species, especially in the hyphae stage, to the target tissue. In this study, the...
متن کاملSunitinib inhibits catecholamine synthesis and secretion in pheochromocytoma tumor cells by blocking VEGF receptor 2 via PLC-γ-related pathways.
Sunitinib is an oral, small molecule multitargeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor with antiangiogenic and antitumor activity that primarily targets vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs). Although sunitinib is an active agent for the treatment of malignant pheochromocytomas, it is unclear whether sunitinib acts through only antiangiogenic mechanisms or also directly targets t...

In the present study, we investigated the ability of an immobilized phospholipase A1 (PLA1) in degumming of soybean oil. The enzyme was immobilized by simple adsorption on bentonite without any further modification. The free and immobilized PLA1 were characterized by Fourier Transform InfraRed (FT-IR) spectroscopy and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The immobilizat...
