  Phospholipase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Phospholipases A2 (PLA2s) (PDB 1CJY, EC 3.1.1.4) are a large family of enzymes that specifically deacylate fatty acids from the 2nd carbon atom (sn2, thus PLA2) of the triglyceride backbone of phospholipids, producing a free fatty acid and a lyso-phospholipid.
Phospholipase B is said to be a mixture of both PLA1 and PLA2.
Phospholipase D (EC 3.1.4.50), is located in the plasma membrane and catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine to form phosphatidic acid (PA) and released choline headgroup.

 Phospholipase D page
Phospholipase D catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine to form phosphatidic acid and released choline headgroup.
One of the focus areas in the Lambeth lab is to investigate phospholipase D and its relation to signal transduction.
Two mammalian isoforms of phospholipase D (PLD1 and PLD2) have been cloned, based on their homology with yeast and plant phospholipase D. hPLD1 is an Arf-activated isoform which can be activated synergistically by Rho and the regulatory domain of protein kinase C (calcium-dependent isoforms).

 Worthington Phospholipase C
Phospholipase C (originally called lecithinase and also referred to as α-toxin) catalyzes the hydrolysis of the linkage between glycerol and phosphate in lecithin and other phosphatides.
Phospholipase C (PLC) is found in culture media of Clostridium perfringens, Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus (Ottolenghi 1969).
Method: Phospholipase activity values which are derived from titrimetric assay procedures can be quite dependent upon the source and the type of substrate, the preparation of the substrate emulsion, other components of the reaction mixture and the methodology and instrumentation used.

Phospholipase C appears to play an important role in neutrophil activation in response to several physiologic activators of neutrophil function, including the chemotactic peptide formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) (8,9), opsonized zymosan, and antigen-antibody complexes (10).
However, this possibility seems unlikely because inhibition of phospholipase C occurs at higher concentrations of BPB [IC and manoalide [IC)] than the concentrations found to be effective in this study.
One potential mechanism involves phospholipase D-dependent conversion of phoshatidylcholine or phosphatidylethanolamine to phosphatidic acid and subsequent release of arachidonic acid from diglyceride and monoglyceride by the actions of diglyceride lipase and monoglyceride lipase, respectively (20).
