31P nuclear magnetic resonance studies showed that heavily inactivated phospholipase C (Bacillus cereus) initially caused line broadening in the 31P resonance from sphingomyelin thus indicating enzyme-lipid association. Using larger amounts of enzyme or longer preincubation caused a displacement of
The sphingomyelinase (Sphmase) activity degrading sphingomyelin (Sphm) monolayers shows a slow-reaction latency period before exhibiting constant rate catalysis. These two kinetic regions are regulated independently by the lateral surface pressure and by lipids that are biomodulators of cell
Sphingomyelinase (SMase) from Bacillus cereus (Bc-SMase) hydrolyzes sphingomyelin to phosphocholine and ceramide in a divalent metal ion-dependent manner. Bc-SMase is a homologue of mammalian neutral SMase (nSMase) and mimics the actions of the endogenous mammalian nSMase in causing differentiation,
Sphingomyelinase (SMase), a water-soluble enzyme from Bacillus cereus, is shown to bind with high affinity to vesicles of sphingomyelin (SM) but not to vesicles of phosphatidylcholine (PC). The reaction progress by SMase bound to SM vesicles occurs in the scooting mode with virtually infinite
Bacillus cereus sphingomyelinase belongs to the Mg(2+)-dependent neutral sphingomyelinase, which hydrolyses sphingomyelin to phosphocholine and ceramide, and acts as an extracellular hemolysin. The triplet residues, His151-Asp195-His296, of the enzyme are highly conserved among bacterial and
The aim of this study was to examine how structural properties of different sphingomyelin (SM) analogs affected their substrate properties with sphingomyelinase (SMase) from Bacillus cereus. Using molecular docking and dynamics simulations (for SMase-SM complex), we then attempted to explain the
The action of phospholipase C (Bacillus cereus) on the phospholipids of myelin sheath preparations has been investigated. With freshly isolated bovine brain myelin about 40% of the total phospholipid could be hydrolyzed by this enzyme. With bovine spinal cord myelin the phospholipid seemed more
Phospholipid degradation by native phospholipase C from Bacillus cereus and enzyme forms where one or both of the Zn2+ prosthetic groups had been replaced with Co2+ was studied in human erythrocyte membranes (ghosts) and resuspended freeze-dried bovine brain myelin. The rate of total phospholipid
A sphingomyelinase was purified 980-fold with recovery of 25.6% from the culture broth of Bacillus cereus, by (NH4)2SO4 precipitation and chromatography on CM-Sephadex, DEAE-cellulose and Sephadex G-75. The purified preparation was free of lipase, protease and other phospholipases. The enzyme
Incubation of phospholipase C from Bacillus cereus with certain divalent metal cations caused enzyme inactivation with Cu(II) being particularly effective. The inactivation arose from the reversible exchange of Zn(II) in the enzyme with the metal cations. Both zinc atoms in the enzyme exchanged
The ability of phospholipase C (Bacillus cereus) to lyse erythrocytes from human blood that had been stored under Transfusion Service conditions for up to 16 weeks has been examined. When incubated at 20 degrees C with enzyme (0.03 mg/ml, 55 units/ml) for up to 1 h fresh erythrocytes were not lysed.
Treatment of rat liver cells (the C-9 cell line), porcine aorta endothelial cells, bovine aorta smooth muscle cells, bovine aorta endothelial cells, mouse fibroblasts and rat keratinocytes with highly purified, crystallized Bacillus cereus phospholipase C, which hydrolyzes phosphatidylcholine,
The secreted broad-range phosphatidylcholine (PC)-preferring phospholipase C (PC-PLC) of Listeria monocytogenes plays a role in the bacterium's ability to escape from phagosomes and spread from cell to cell. Based on comparisons with two orthologs, Clostridium perfringens alpha-toxin and Bacillus
Bacillus cereus secretes phospholipases C, which hydrolyze phosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin and phosphatidylinositol. A 7.5-kb HindIII fragment of B. cereus DNA cloned into Escherichia coli, with pUC18 as a vector, directed the synthesis of the sphingomyelin-hydrolyzing phospholipase C,
