Identification of the expressed form of human cytosolic phospholipase A2beta (cPLA2beta): cPLA2beta3 is a novel variant localized to mitochondria and early endosomes.
Ghosh M., Loper R., Gelb M.H., Leslie C.C.
In this study, we identify the principal splice variant of human cytosolic phospholipase A(2)beta (cPLA(2)beta) (also known as Group IVB cPLA(2)) present in cells.

In this study, we identify the principal splice variant of human cytosolic phospholipase A(2)beta (cPLA(2)beta) (also known as Group IVB cPLA(2)) present in cells. In human lung, spleen, and ovary and in a lung epithelial cell line (BEAS-2B), cPLA(2)beta is expressed as a 100-kDa protein, not the 114-kDa form originally predicted. Using RNA interference, the 100-kDa protein in BEAS-2B cells was confirmed to be cPLA(2)beta. BEAS-2B cells contain three different RNA splice variants of cPLA(2)beta (beta1, beta2, and beta3). cPLA(2)beta1 is identical to the previously cloned cPLA(2)beta, predicted to encode a 114-kDa protein. However, cPLA(2)beta2 and cPLA(2)beta3 splice variants are smaller and contain internal deletions in the catalytic domain. The 100-kDa cPLA(2)beta in BEAS-2B cells is the translated product of cPLA(2)beta3. cPLA(2)beta3 exhibits calcium-dependent PLA(2) activity against palmitoyl-arachidonyl-phosphatidylethanolamine and low level lysophospholipase activity but no activity against phosphatidylcholine. Unlike Group IVA cPLA(2)alpha, cPLA(2)beta3 is constitutively bound to membrane in unstimulated cells, localizing to mitochondria and early endosomes. cPLA(2)beta3 is widely expressed in tissues, suggesting that it has a generalized function at these unique sites. << Less

Neuropathy target esterase (NTE) is a member of the family of patatin domain-containing proteins and exhibits phospholipase activity in brain and cultured cells. NTE was originally identified as target enzyme for organophosphorus compounds that cause a delayed paralyzing syndrome with degeneration of nerve axons. Here we show that the structurally related murine protein NTE-related esterase (NRE) is a potent lysophospholipase. The enzyme efficiently hydrolyzes sn-1 esters in lysophosphatidylcholine and lysophosphatidic acid. No lipase activity was observed when triacylglycerols, cholesteryl esters, retinyl esters, phosphatidylcholine, or monoacylglycerol were used as substrates. Although NTE is predominantly expressed in the nervous system, we found the highest NRE mRNA levels in testes, skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and adipose tissue. Induction of NRE mRNA concentrations in these tissues during fasting suggested a nutritional regulation of enzyme expression and, in accordance with this observation, insulin reduced NRE mRNA levels in a dose-dependent manner in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. A green fluorescent protein-NRE fusion protein colocalized to the endoplasmic reticulum and lipid droplets. Thus, NRE is a previously unrecognized ER- and lipid droplet-associated lysophospholipase. Regulation of enzyme expression by the nutritional status and insulin suggests a role of NRE in the catabolism of lipid precursors and/or mediators that affect energy metabolism in mammals. << Less

Prostaglandin glycerol esters (PG-Gs) are produced as a result of the oxygenation of the endocannabinoid, 2-arachidonoylglycerol, by cyclooxygenase 2. Understanding the role that PG-Gs play in a biological setting has been difficult because of their sensitivity to enzymatic hydrolysis. By comparing PG-G hydrolysis across human cancer cell lines to serine hydrolase activities determined by activity-based protein profiling, we identified lysophospholipase A2 (LYPLA2) as a major enzyme responsible for PG-G hydrolysis. The principal role played by LYPLA2 in PGE2-G hydrolysis was confirmed by siRNA knockdown. Purified recombinant LYPLA2 hydrolyzed PG-Gs in the following order of activity: PGE2-G > PGF2α-G > PGD2-G; LYPLA2 hydrolyzed 1-but not 2-arachidonoylglycerol or arachidonoylethanolamide. Chemical inhibition of LYPLA2 in the mouse macrophage-like cell line, RAW264.7, elicited an increase in PG-G production. Our data indicate that LYPLA2 serves as a major PG-G hydrolase in human cells. Perturbation of this enzyme should enable selective modulation of PG-Gs without alterations in endocannabinoids, thereby providing a means to decipher the unique functions of PG-Gs in biology and disease. << Less

Identification of essential residues for catalysis of rat intestinal phospholipase B/lipase.
Lu T., Ito M., Tchoua U., Takemori H., Okamoto M., Tojo H.
Intestinal brush border membrane-associated phospholipase B/lipase (PLB/LIP) consists of four tandem homologous domains (repeats 1 through 4) and a COOH-terminal membrane binding domain, and repeat 2 is the catalytic domain that catalyzes phospholipase A2, lysophospholipase, and lipase activities. ... >> More
Intestinal brush border membrane-associated phospholipase B/lipase (PLB/LIP) consists of four tandem homologous domains (repeats 1 through 4) and a COOH-terminal membrane binding domain, and repeat 2 is the catalytic domain that catalyzes phospholipase A2, lysophospholipase, and lipase activities. We examined the structural basis of the catalysis of PLB/LIP with this unique substrate specificity by site-directed mutagenesis of recombinant repeat 2 enzyme. Ser414 and Ser459 within the active serine-containing consensus sequence G-X-S-X-G in the best-established lipase family were dispensable for activity. In contrast, substitution of Ala for Ser404 almost completely inactivated the three lipolytic activities of PLB/LIP, even though the gross conformation was not altered as determined by CD spectroscopy. Notably, this Ser is located within the conserved G-D-S-L sequence on the NH2-terminal side in lipolytic enzymes of another group proposed recently. Furthermore, mutagenesis and CD spectroscopic analyses suggested that Asp518 and His659, lying within conserved short stretches in the latter group of lipolytic enzymes, were essential for activity. These three essential residues are conserved in the known PLB/LIP enzymes, suggesting that they form the catalytic triad in the active site. These results indicate that PLB/LIP represents a distinct class of the lipase family. PLB/LIP is the first mammalian member of that family. Repeat 2 is equipped with the triad, but not the other repeats, accounting for why only repeat 2 is the catalytic domain. Replacing Thr406 with Gly, matching the enzyme's sequence to the lipase consensus sequence exactly, led to a great decrease in secretion and accumulation of inactive enzyme in the cells, suggesting a role of Thr406 in the structural stability. << Less

Mammalian tissues contain small form and large form lysophospholipases. Here we report the cloning, sequence, and expression of cDNA encoding the latter form of lysophospholipase using antibody raised against the enzyme purified from rat liver supernatant (Sugimoto, H., and Yamashita, S. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 6252-6258). The 2,539-base pair cDNA encoded 564 amino acid residues with a calculated Mr of 60,794. The amino-terminal two-thirds of the deduced amino acid sequence significantly resembled Escherichia coli asparaginase I with the putative asparaginase catalytic triad Thr-Asp-Lys and was followed by leucine zipper motif. The carboxyl-terminal region carried ankyrin repeat. When the cDNA was transfected into HEK293 cells, not only lysophospholipase activity but also asparaginase and platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase activities were expressed. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction revealed that the transcript occurred at high levels in liver and kidney but was hardly detectable in lung and heart from which large form lysophospholipases had been purified, suggesting the presence of multiple forms of large form lysophospholipase in mammalian tissues. << Less

Characterization of the transacylase activity of rat liver 60-kDa lysophospholipase-transacylase. Acyl transfer from the sn-2 to the sn-1 position.
Sugimoto H., Yamashita S.
Rat liver 60-kDa lysophospholipase-transacylase catalyzes not only the hydrolysis of 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, but also the transfer of its acyl chain to a second molecule of 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine to form phosphatidylcholine (H.

Rat liver 60-kDa lysophospholipase-transacylase catalyzes not only the hydrolysis of 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, but also the transfer of its acyl chain to a second molecule of 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine to form phosphatidylcholine (H. Sugimoto, S. Yamashita, J. Biol. Chem. 269 (1994) 6252-6258). Here we report the detailed characterization of the transacylase activity of the enzyme. The enzyme mediated three types of acyl transfer between donor and acceptor lipids, transferring acyl residues from: (1) the sn-1 to -1(3); (2) sn-1 to -2; and (3) sn-2 to -1 positions. In the sn-1 to -1(3) transfer, the sn-1 acyl residue of 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine was transferred to the sn-1(3) positions of glycerol and 2-acyl-sn-glycerol, producing 1(3)-acyl-sn-glycerol and 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol, respectively. In the sn-1 to -2 transfer, the sn-1 acyl residue of 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine was transferred to not only the sn-2 positions of 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, but also 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine, producing phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine, respectively. 1-Acyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-myo-inositol and 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoserine were much less effectively transacylated by the enzyme. In the sn-2 to -1 transfer, the sn-2 acyl residue of 2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine was transferred to the sn-1 position of 2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine and 2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine, producing phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine, respectively. Consistently, the enzyme hydrolyzed the sn-2 acyl residue from 2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine. By the sn-2 to -1 transfer activity, arachidonic acid was transferred from the sn-2 position of donor lipids to the sn-1 position of acceptor lipids, thus producing 1-arachidonoyl phosphatidylcholine. When 2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine was used as the sole substrate, diarachidonoyl phosphatidylcholine was synthesized at a rate of 0.23 micromol/min/mg protein. Thus, 60-kDa lysophospholipase-transacylase may play a role in the synthesis of 1-arachidonoyl phosphatidylcholine needed for important cell functions, such as anandamide synthesis. << Less

Subcellular localization and lysophospholipase/transacylation activities of human group IVC phospholipase A2 (cPLA2gamma).

cPLA2gamma was identified as an ortholog of cPLA2alpha, which is a key enzyme in eicosanoid production. cPLA2gamma was reported to be located in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria and to have lysophospholipase activity beside phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity. However, subcellular localization, mechanism of membrane binding, regulation and physiological function have not been fully established. In the present study, we examined the subcellular localization and enzymatic properties of cPLA2gamma with C-terminal FLAG-tag. We found that cPLA2gamma was located not only in ER but also mitochondria even in the absence of the prenylation. Purified recombinant cPLA2gamma catalyzed an acyltransferase reaction from one molecule of lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) to another, forming phosphatidylcholine (PC). LPC or lysophosphatidylethanolamine acted as acyl donor and acceptor, but lysophosphatidylserine, lysophosphatidylinositol and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) did not. PC and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) also acted as weak acyl donors. Reaction conditions changed the balance of lysophospholipase and transacylation activities, with addition of LPA/PA, pH>8, and elevated temperature markedly increasing transacylation activity; this suggests that lysophospholipase/transacylation activities of cPLA2gamma may be regulated by various factors. As lysophospholipids are known to accumulate in ischemia heart and to induce arryhthmia, the cPLA2gamma that is abundant in heart may have a protective role through clearance of lysophospholipids by its transacylation activity. << Less

Group IVA cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)alpha) initiates eicosanoid production; however, this pathway is not completely ablated in cPLA(2)alpha(-/-) lung fibroblasts stimulated with A23187 or serum. cPLA(2)alpha(+/+) fibroblasts preferentially released arachidonic acid, but A23187-stimulated cPLA(2)alpha(-/-) fibroblasts nonspecifically released multiple fatty acids. Arachidonic acid release from cPLA(2) alpha(-/-) fibroblasts was inhibited by the cPLA(2)alpha inhibitors pyrrolidine-2 (IC(50), 0.03 microM) and Wyeth-1 (IC(50), 0.1 microM), implicating another C2 domain-containing group IV PLA(2). cPLA(2) alpha(-/-) fibroblasts contain cPLA(2)beta and cPLA(2)zeta but not cPLA(2)epsilon or cPLA(2)delta. Purified cPLA(2)zeta exhibited much higher lysophospholipase and PLA(2) activity than cPLA(2)beta and was potently inhibited by pyrrolidine-2 and Wyeth-1, which did not inhibit cPLA(2)beta. In contrast to cPLA(2)beta, cPLA(2)zeta expressed in Sf9 cells mediated A23187-induced arachidonic acid release, which was inhibited by pyrrolidine-2 and Wyeth-1. cPLA(2)zeta exhibits specific activity, inhibitor sensitivity, and low micromolar calcium dependence similar to cPLA(2)alpha and has been identified as the PLA(2) responsible for calcium-induced fatty acid release and prostaglandin E(2) production from cPLA(2) alpha(-/-) lung fibroblasts. In response to ionomycin, EGFP-cPLA(2)zeta translocated to ruffles and dynamic vesicular structures, whereas EGFP-cPLA(2)alpha translocated to the Golgi and endoplasmic reticulum, suggesting distinct mechanisms of regulation for the two enzymes. << Less

We report the purification, molecular cloning, and expression of a novel cytosolic calcium-independent phospholipase A2 (iPLA2) from Chinese hamster ovary cells, which lacks extended homology to other phospholipases. iPLA2 is an 85-kDa protein that exists as a multimeric complex of 270-350 kDa with a specific activity of 1 micromol/min/mg. The full-length cDNA clone encodes a 752-amino acid cytoplasmic protein with one lipase motif (GXS465XG) and eight ankyrin repeats. Expression of the cDNA in mammalian cells generates an active 85-kDa protein. Mutagenesis studies show that Ser465 and the ankyrin repeats are required for activity. We demonstrate that iPLA2 selectively hydrolyzes the sn-2 over sn-1 fatty acid by 5-fold for 1,2-dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine in a mixed micelle. Moreover, we found the fatty acid preference at the sn-2 position to be highly dependent upon substrate presentation. However, iPLA2 does have a marked preference for 1,2-dipalmitoyl phosphatidic acid presented in a vesicle, generating the lipid second messenger lysophosphatidic acid. Finally the enzyme is able to hydrolyze the acetyl moiety at the sn-2 position of platelet-activating factor. << Less

Annexin II inhibits calcium-dependent phospholipase A1 and lysophospholipase but not triacyl glycerol lipase activities of rat liver hepatic lipase.

A member of the annexin family (the heterotetrameric annexin II2p11(2) complex purified from porcine intestinal epithelium) was tested for its ability to affect different calcium-dependent intrinsic lipolytic activities of rat liver hepatic lipase (HL). Whereas annexin II in the presence of calcium failed to interfere with HL triacyl glycerol lipase (EC 3.1.1.3) activity, it inhibited HL phospholipase A1 (EC 3.1.1.32) and lysophospholipase (EC 3.1.1.5) activities. Inhibition could be overcome by increasing the substrate concentration. Under phospholipase A1 assay conditions, annexin II did not bind to the purified HL enzyme. These results therefore suggest that only inhibitor/substrate interactions lead to inhibition of HL phospholipase A1 and lysophospholipase activities, an obviously general mechanism of phospholipase inhibition by annexins. Possible implications of HL inhibition in vivo by annexins are discussed. << Less

Essential Ca(2+)-independent role of the group IVA cytosolic phospholipase A(2) C2 domain for interfacial activity.

The cytosolic Group IVA phospholipase A2 (GIVAPLA2) translocates to intracellular membranes to catalyze the release of lysophospholipids and arachidonic acid.

The cytosolic Group IVA phospholipase A2 (GIVAPLA2) translocates to intracellular membranes to catalyze the release of lysophospholipids and arachidonic acid. GIVAPLA2 translocation and subsequent activity is regulated by its Ca2+-dependent phospholipid binding C2 domain. Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI-4,5-P2) also binds with high affinity and specificity to GIVAPLA2, facilitating membrane binding and activity. Herein, we demonstrate that GIVAPLA2 possessed full activity in the absence of Ca2+ when PI-4,5-P2 or phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate were present. A point mutant, D43N, that is unable to bind Ca2+ also had full activity in the presence of PI-4,5-P2. However, when GIVAPLA2 was expressed without its Ca2+-binding C2 domain (DeltaC2), there was no interfacial activity. GIVAPLA2 and DeltaC2 both had activity on monomeric lysophospholipids. DeltaC2, but not the C2 domain alone, binds to phosphoinositides (PIPns) in the same manner as the full-length GIVAPLA2, confirming the location of the PIPn binding site as the GIVAPLA2 catalytic domain. Moreover, proposed PIPn-binding residues in the catalytic domain (Lys488, Lys541, Lys543, and Lys544) were confirmed to be essential for PI-4,5-P2-dependent activity increases. Exploiting the effects of PI-4,5-P2, we have discovered that the C2 domain plays a critical role in the interfacial activity of GIVAPLA2 above and beyond its Ca2+-dependent phospholipid binding. << Less

Acylprotein thioesterase 1 (APT1), also known as lysophospholipase 1, is an important enzyme responsible for depalmitoylation of palmitoyl proteins. To clarify the substrate selectivity and the intracellular function of APT1, we performed kinetic analyses and competition assays using a recombinant human APT1 (hAPT1) and investigated the subcellular localization. For this purpose, an assay for thioesterase activity against a synthetic palmitoyl peptide using liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry was established. The thioesterase activity of hAPT1 was most active at neutral pH, and did not require Ca(2+) for its maximum activity. The K(M) values for thioesterase and lysophospholipase (against lysophosphatidylcholine) activities were 3.49 and 27.3 microM, and the V(max) values were 27.3 and 1.62 micromol/min/mg, respectively. Thus, hAPT1 revealed much higher thioesterase activity than lysophospholipase activity. One activity was competitively inhibited by another substrate in the presence of both substrates. Immunocytochemical and Western blot analyses revealed that endogenous and overexpressed hAPT1 were mainly localized in the cytosol, while some signals were detected in the plasma membrane, the nuclear membrane and ER in HEK293 cells. These results suggest that eliminating palmitoylated proteins and lysophospholipids from cytosol is one of the functions of hAPT1. << Less

Several enzymes with lysophospholipase/phospholipase B activity have been described from the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In vitro, these enzymes are capable of hydrolyzing all phospholipids that can be extracted from yeast cells. Two forms of the enzyme have been isolated from plasma membranes and a third from culture supernatants and the periplasmic space, but their biological roles have not been determined. These highly glycosylated enzymes were reported to have very similar catalytic properties but differed with respect to apparent molecular weight. We isolated a gene from S. cerevisiae, encoding a protein predicted to share 45% amino acid sequence identity with phospholipase B from Penicillium notatum. This yeast gene, designated PLB1, was mapped to the left arm of chromosome VIII. No residual lysophospholipase/phospholipase B activity was detected upon assay of extracts or culture supernatants of a plb1 delta mutant. Thus, either the PLB1 gene encodes all of the previously detected isoforms of phospholipase B or its gene product is required for their expression or activation. Deletion of PLB1 did not result in any apparent phenotypic defect, suggesting either that we failed to identify the growth conditions that would betray such a defect or that Plb1p is functionally redundant with another protein, whose activity has gone undetected. A plb1 delta mutant released wild-type levels of the soluble phosphatidylinositol metabolite glycerophosphoinositol into the growth medium but released greatly reduced levels of the corresponding phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine metabolites. These results indicate that PLB1 is principally responsible for the production of the deacylation products of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine but not phosphatidylinositol. << Less
