Article Abstract
Previous expression/purification strategies for cytosolic phospholipase Aα C2-domain in have relied on refolded protein recovered from inclusion bodies and sometimes containing C-terminal Cys139Ala and Cys141Ser substitutions to eliminate potential refolding complications induced by Cys residues. The protocol presented herein describes an effective method for the expression of cytosolic phospholipase Aα C2-domain in soluble form in and subsequent purification to homogeneity. This protocol, which utilizes a cleavable 6xHis-SUMO tag, has recently been used to gain insights into the structural basis of phosphatidylcholine recognition by the C2-domain of cytosolic phospholipase Aα ( Hirano , 2019 ).

Background: The global increase in diabetes mellitus has been accompanied by a significant rise in related complications. Diabetic patients frequently experience ocular surface disorders and multiple studies have demonstrated that the diabetic corneal epithelium is characterized by increased cellular fragility and compromised barrier integrity. It has been demonstrated that the processes of oxidative stress and inflammation are pivotal in causing ocular tissue damage in diabetic patients.

Immature zebrafish oocytes are highly susceptible to high temperatures, making it difficult to warm cryopreserved oocytes rapidly. In the present study, we aimed to investigate whether thermosensitive channels, lipid mediators, and ferroptosis are involved in heat stress-induced injury in immature zebrafish oocytes. Oocytes were injected with inhibitors of a heat-sensitive channel (TRPV1) and multiple enzymes-cytosolic phospholipase Aα (cPLAα), cyclooxygenases (COXs), arachidonate lipoxygenase 5 (ALOX5), and lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 2 (LPCAT2).

Neuromodulators control mood, arousal, and behavior by inducing synaptic plasticity via G-protein-coupled receptors. While long-term presynaptic potentiation requires structural changes, mechanisms enabling potentiation within minutes remain unclear. Using the neuromuscular junction, we show that octopamine, the invertebrate analog of norepinephrine, potentiates evoked neurotransmitter release on the timescale of one minute via a G-protein-coupled pathway involving presynaptic OAMB receptors and phospholipase C.

Cell-to-cell spread is a major mechanism used by the bacterial pathogen to disseminate within its host. In this mechanism, bacteria are directly transferred from the cytosol of an infected donor cell to a recipient cell via formation of an intercellular protrusion. The intercellular protrusion resolves into a vacuole that is disrupted by to reach the cytosol of the recipient cell, where it divides and starts new cell-to-cell spread cycles.

The relationship between calcium oscillation and cell sensitivity is poorly understood. Calcium oscillation can occur spontaneously or be triggered upon receptor-ligand binding. The cytosolic [Ca] increase during calcium oscillation is initiated from Ca release from the intracellular stores through the phospholipase C (PLC)-derived inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP).
