Patatins and Phospholipases; Patatin-like phospholipase. This family consists of various patatin glycoproteins from plants. The patatin protein accounts for up to 40% of the total soluble protein in potato tubers. Patatin is a storage protein, but it also has the enzymatic activity of a lipid acyl hydrolase, catalyzing the cleavage of fatty acids from membrane lipids. Members of this family have also been found in vertebrates. This family also includes the catalytic domain of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (PLA2; EC 3.1.1.4) hydrolyzes the sn-2-acyl ester bond of phospholipids to release arachidonic acid. At the active site, cPLA2 contains a serine nucleophile through which the catalytic mechanism is initiated. The active site is partially covered by a solvent-accessible flexible lid. cPLA2 displays interfacial activation as it exists in both "closed lid" and "open lid" forms.

Fungal Phospholipase B-like; cPLA2 GrpIVA homologs; catalytic domain; Fungal phospholipase B are Group IV cPLA2 homologs. Aspergillus PLA2 is Ca-dependent, yet it does not contain a C2 domain. PLB deacylates both sn-1 and sn-2 chains of phospholipids and are abundantly expressed in fungi. It shows lysophospholipase (lysoPL) and transacylase activities. The active site residues from cPLA2 are also conserved in PLB. Like cPLA2, PLB also has a consensus sequence of Sm-X-Nu-Sm (Sm = small residue, X = any residue and Nu = nucleophile). It includes PLB1 from Schizosaccharomyces pombe, PLB2 from Candida glabrata, and PLB3 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. PLB1, PLB2, and PLB3 show PLB and lysoPL activities; PLB3 is specific for phosphoinositides.

Group IVC cytoplasmic phospholipase A2; catalytic domain; Ca-independent; Group IVC cPLA2, a small 61 kDa protein, is a single domain alpha/beta hydrolase. It lacks a C2 domain; therefore, it has no Ca-dependence. Group IVC cPLA2 is also referred to as cPLA2-gamma. The cPLA2-gamma enzyme is predominantly found in cardiac and skeletal muscles, and to a lesser extent in the brain. Human cPLA2-gamma is approximately 30% identical to cPLA2-alpha. The catalytic domain of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (PLA2; EC 3.1.1.4) hydrolyzes the sn-2-acyl ester bond of phospholipids to release arachidonic acid. At the active site, cPLA2 contains a serine nucleophile through which the catalytic mechanism is initiated.

Group IVB, IVD, IVE, and IVF cytosolic phospholipase A2; catalytic domain; Ca-dependent; Group IVB, IVD, IVE, and IVF cPLA2 consists of two domains: the regulatory C2 domain and alpha/beta hydrolase PLA2 domain. Group IVB, IVD, IVE, and IVF cPLA2 are also referred to as cPLA2-beta, -delta, -epsilon, and -zeta respectively. cPLA2-beta is approximately 30% identical to cPLA2-alpha and it shows low enzymatic activity compared to cPLA2alpha. cPLA2-beta hydrolyzes palmitic acid from 1-[14C]palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-PC and arachidonic acid from 1-palmitoyl-2[14C]arachidonoyl-PC, but not from 1-O-alkyl-2[3H]arachidonoyl-PC. cPLA2-delta, -epsilon, and -zeta are approximately 45-50% identical to cPLA2-beta and 31-37% identical to cPLA2-alpha. It's possible that cPLA2-beta, -delta, -epsilon, and -zeta may have arisen by gene duplication from an ancestral gene. The catalytic domain of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (PLA2; EC 3.1.1.4) hydrolyzes the sn-2-acyl ester bond of phospholipids to release arachidonic acid. At the active site, cPLA2 contains a serine nucleophile through which the catalytic mechanism is initiated.

Patatins and Phospholipases; Patatin-like phospholipase. This family consists of various patatin glycoproteins from plants. The patatin protein accounts for up to 40% of the total soluble protein in potato tubers. Patatin is a storage protein, but it also has the enzymatic activity of a lipid acyl hydrolase, catalyzing the cleavage of fatty acids from membrane lipids. Members of this family have also been found in vertebrates. This family also includes the catalytic domain of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (PLA2; EC 3.1.1.4) hydrolyzes the sn-2-acyl ester bond of phospholipids to release arachidonic acid. At the active site, cPLA2 contains a serine nucleophile through which the catalytic mechanism is initiated. The active site is partially covered by a solvent-accessible flexible lid. cPLA2 displays interfacial activation as it exists in both "closed lid" and "open lid" forms.
