Abstract excerpt
Group IVA cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) has been shown to play a critical role in the agonist-induced release of arachidonic acid. To understand the mechanism by which phosphorylation of Ser505 and Ser727 activates cPLA2, we systematically analyzed the effects of S505A, S505E, S727A, S727E, S505A/S727A, S505A/S727E, and S505E/S727E mutations on its enzyme activity and membrane affinity. In vitro membrane...
