Cloning and expression of a membrane receptor for secretory phospholipases A2.
Snake venom and mammalian secretory phospholipases A2 are structurally related enzymes that have been associated with several toxic (neurotoxicity, myotoxicity, etc.), pathological (inflammation, hypersensitivity, etc.), or physiological (contraction, proliferation, etc.) processes. We have previously shown that snake venom PLA2s have specific high affinity receptors. Here, we report the molecu...
متن کاملSecretory phospholipases A2 activate selective functions in human eosinophils.
Secretory phospholipases A(2) (sPLA(2)s) are released in large amounts in the blood of patients with systemic inflammatory diseases and accumulate at sites of chronic inflammation, such as the airways of patients with bronchial asthma. Blood eosinophils or eosinophils recruited in inflammatory areas therefore can be exposed in vivo to high concentrations of sPLA(2). We have examined the effects...
متن کاملSecretory phospholipases A2 induce neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells.
sPLA(2)s (secretory phospholipases A(2)) belong to a broad and structurally diverse family of enzymes that hydrolyse the sn -2 ester bond of glycerophospholipids. We previously showed that a secreted fungal 15 kDa protein, named p15, as well as its orthologue from Streptomyces coelicolor (named Scp15) induce neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells at nanomolar concentrations. We report here that both p...
متن کاملCLONING AND EXPRESSION OF A HUMAN INTERFERON a2 GENE IN E. COLI
The plasmid pALCA1SIFN containing cDNA that encodes the human interferon a-2b was obtained from the ATCC(no. 531667). In this system the expression of the gene is under the control of an alcA promoter. alcA p is a specific promoter for expression of different genes in Aspergillusfilamentous. In this plasmid the coding region of IFN?-2b is preceded by the coding region of a synthetic signal ...
متن کاملCloning and secretory expression of VP2 gene of infectious bursal disease virus in eukaryotic cells
VP2 gene coding region of a vaccinal strain (D78) of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) was clonedin a eukaryotic expression vector, pSec Tag2A. The gene was placed downstream of Ig κ chain leadersequence, under the control of human cytomegalovirus (hCMV) immediate early enhancer and promoter. Theconstruct pSec Tag2A-VP2 was transfected in COS-7 cell line and the expression and secretion of...
