Group VIB Ca2+-independent phospholipase A2gamma promotes cellular membrane hydrolysis and prostaglandin production in a manner distinct from other intracellular phospholipases A2.

Although group VIA Ca2+-independent phospholipase A2beta (iPLA2beta) has been implicated in various cellular events, the functions of other iPLA2 isozymes remain largely elusive. In this study, we examined the cellular functions of group VIB iPLA2gamma. Lentiviral transfection of iPLA2gamma into HEK293 cells resulted in marked increases in spontaneous, stimulus-coupled, and cell death-associated release of arachidonic acid (AA), which was converted to prostaglandin E2 with preferred cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 coupling. Conversely, treatment of HEK293 cells with iPLA2gamma small interfering RNA significantly reduced AA release, indicating the participation of endogenous iPLA2gamma. iPLA2gamma protein appeared in multiple sizes according to cell types, and a 63-kDa form was localized mainly in peroxisomes. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry of cellular phospholipids revealed that iPLA2gamma and other intracellular PLA2 enzymes acted on different phospholipid subclasses. Transfection of iPLA2gamma into HCA-7 cells also led to increased AA release and prostaglandin E2 synthesis via both COX-1 and COX-2, with a concomitant increase in cell growth. Immunohistochemistry of human colorectal cancer tissues showed elevated expression of iPLA2gamma in adenocarcinoma cells. These results collectively suggest distinct roles for iPLA2beta and iPLA2gamma in cellular homeostasis and signaling, a functional link between peroxisomal AA release and eicosanoid generation, and a potential contribution of iPLA2gamma to tumorigenesis. << Less

Purification and characterization of 1-O-acylceramide synthase, a novel phospholipase A2 with transacylase activity.
Abe A., Shayman J.A.
A novel pathway for ceramide metabolism, 1-O-acylceramide formation, was previously reported (Abe, A., Shayman, J. A., and Radin, N. S. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 14383-14389). In this pathway a fatty acid in the sn-2 position of phosphatidylethanolamine or phosphatidylcholine is transferred to th ... >> More
A novel pathway for ceramide metabolism, 1-O-acylceramide formation, was previously reported (Abe, A., Shayman, J. A., and Radin, N. S. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 14383-14389). In this pathway a fatty acid in the sn-2 position of phosphatidylethanolamine or phosphatidylcholine is transferred to the 1-hydroxyl position of ceramide. An enzyme that catalyzes the esterification of N-acetylsphingosine was purified from the postmitochondrial supernatant of calf brain through consecutive steps, including ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-Sephacel, phenyl-Sepharose, S-Sepharose, Sephadex G-75, concanavalin A-agarose, and heparin-Sepharose chromatography. The molecular mass of the enzyme was determined to be 40 kDa by gel filtration on Sephadex G-75. The enzyme bound to concanavalin A-agarose column was eluted with the buffer containing 500 mM alpha-methyl-D-mannopyranoside. Further purification by heparin-Sepharose chromatography resulted in separation of two peaks of enzyme activity. Coincidence between the transacylase activity and a stained protein of a molecular mass of 40 kDa was observed, as determined by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and recovery after separation over an acidic native gel. The second peak of activity from the heparin-Sepharose chromatography represented a purification of 193,000-fold. These results are consistent with the enzyme being a glycoprotein of a molecular mass of about 40 kDa with a single polypeptide chain. The purified enzyme had a pH optimum at pH 4.5. The divalent cations Ca2+ and Mg2+ enhanced but were not essential for the transacylase activity. Neither activation nor inactivation of the enzyme activity was observed in the presence of 2 mM ATP or 2 mM dithiothreitol. Preincubation of the enzyme with 1 mM N-ethylmaleimide, 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, or 3.1 microM bromoenol lactone, a potent inhibitor of cytosolic Ca2+-independent phospholipase A2, had no significant effect on the enzyme activity. The enzyme activity was completely abolished in the presence of greater than 773 microM Triton X-100. Partial inhibition of the enzyme activity was observed in the presence of 10-100 microg/ml heparin. In the absence of N-acetylsphingosine, the enzyme acted as a phospholipase A2. These results strongly suggest that 1-O-acylceramide synthase is both a transacylase and a novel phospholipase A2. << Less
