Báo cáo khoa học: A new phospholipase A2 isolated from the sea anemone Urticina crassicornis – its primary structure and phylogenetic classification

Disulfide pairings and active site residues are highly conserved in secretoryphospholipases A2 (PLA2s). However, secretory PLA2s of marine inverte-brates display some distinctive structural features. In this study, we reportthe isolation and characterization of a PLA2 from the northern Pacific seaanemone,Urticina crassicornis(UcPLA2), containing a C27N substitutionand a truncated C-terminal sequence.nd Tom Turk11 2 3 4 Biotechnical Faculty, Department of Biology, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia ˇ Department of Molecular and Biomedical Sciences, Jozef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana, Slovenia Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, College of Medicine, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USAKeywords enzymatic activity; phospholipase...
