The lipid-binding domain of pancreatic phospholipases A2 contains a number of exposed, hydrophobic amino acid side chains that are involved in the binding of the enzyme to organized lipid-water interfaces. Besides these apolar residues, at least two positively charged lysine groups are present in positions 10 and 116 of the lipid-binding domain. In order to investigate the possible function of these basic side chains in the lipid-binding process, a number of specifically acylated enzyme mutants were prepared, and their kinetic and lipid-binding properties have been compared with those of the native enzymes. It is concluded that the attachment of a long-chain acyl group in an amide linkage to Lys10 or Lys116 phospholipase A2 has only a minor influence on the catalytic properties of the enzyme. On the other hand, the lipid-binding properties of the mutant enzymes appear to be considerably reinforced.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.

D008239 Lysine An essential amino acid. It is often added to animal feed. Enisyl,L-Lysine,Lysine Acetate,Lysine Hydrochloride,Acetate, Lysine,L Lysine
D010179 Pancreas A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.
D010740 Phospholipases A class of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of phosphoglycerides or glycerophosphatidates. EC 3.1.-. Lecithinases,Lecithinase,Phospholipase
D010741 Phospholipases A Phospholipases that hydrolyze one of the acyl groups of phosphoglycerides or glycerophosphatidates.
D011485 Protein Binding The process in which substances, either endogenous or exogenous, bind to proteins, peptides, enzymes, protein precursors, or allied compounds. Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments. Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
