Synthesis and Function of 3-Phosphorylated Inositol Lipids

TL;DR: This review is focused on the 3-phosphoinositide lipids, the synthesis of which is acutely triggered by extracellular stimuli, the enzymes responsible for their synthesis and metabolism, and their cell biological roles.
Journal ArticleDOI

The expanding superfamily of phospholipase A(2) enzymes: classification and characterization.

TL;DR: This review updates the classification of the various PLA(2)'s now described in the literature, and expands or realignment of Groups VI, VII and VIII, as well as the addition of Group XIPLA(2) from plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crystal Structure of the PTEN Tumor Suppressor: Implications for Its Phosphoinositide Phosphatase Activity and Membrane Association

TL;DR: The PTEN structure reveals a phosphatase domain that is similar to protein phosphatases but has an enlarged active site important for the accommodation of the phosphoinositide substrate and a C2 domain that may serve to productively position the catalytic domain on the membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure, Function, and Control of Phosphoinositide-Specific Phospholipase C

TL;DR: It is realized that PLC-beta, -gamma, and -delta isoforms act in concert, each contributing to a specific aspect of the cellular response.

MOLSCRIPT: a program to produce both detailed and schematic plots of protein structures

TL;DR: The MOLSCRIPT program as discussed by the authors produces plots of protein structures using several different kinds of representations, including simple wire models, ball-and-stick models, CPK models and text labels.
Journal ArticleDOI

The molecular heterogeneity of protein kinase C and its implications for cellular regulation

TL;DR: Protein kinase C is now known to be a large family of proteins, with multiple subspecies that have subtle individual enzymological characteristics, and probably have distinct functions in the processing and modulation of a variety of physiological and pathological responses to external signals.

The synaptic vesicle cycle: a cascade of protein–protein interactions

TL;DR: A convergence of results now allows formulation of molecular models for key steps of the synaptic vesicle cycle, which may form the basis for a mechanistic understanding of higher neural function.

A novel arachidonic acid-selective cytosolic PLA2 contains a Ca2+-dependent translocation domain with homology to PKC and GAP

TL;DR: The cloning and expression of a cDNA encoding a high molecular weight cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) that has no detectable sequence homology with the secreted forms of PLA2 is reported and it is demonstrated that cPLA2 selectively cleaves arachidonic acid from natural membrane vesicles and translocates to membrane vESicles in response to physiologically relevant changes in free calcium.

Synaptotagmin I: a major Ca2+ sensor for transmitter release at a central synapse.

TL;DR: It is proposed that synaptotagmin I is the major low affinity Ca2+ sensor mediating Ca2-regulation of synchronous neurotransmitter release in hippocampal neurons and not essential for asynchronous or Ca(2+)-independent release.
