摘要


Phospholipids containing sn-2 polyunsaturated fatty acyl residues are primary targets of oxidizing radicals, producing proapoptotic and membrane perturbing fragmented phospholipids. The only known phospholipases that specifically select these oxidized and/or short-chained phospholipids as substrates are mammalian group VII phospholipases A2s that were purified and cloned as PAF acetylhydrolases. Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a short-chained phospholipid, and whether these enzymes actually are PAF hydrolases or evolved as oxidized phospholipid phospholipases is unknown. The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, which does not form or use PAF as a signaling molecule, contains an open-reading frame potentially homologous to mammalian group VII phospholipase A2s. We cloned this SPBC106.11c locus and expressed it in distantly related Saccharomyces cerevisiae that lack homologous sequences. The S. pombe locus encoded a functional phospholipase A2, now renamed plg7+, that hydrolyzed PAF and a synthetic oxidized phospholipid. Expression of human type II PAF acetylhydrolase or S. pombe Plg7p enhanced the viability of S. cerevisiae subjected to oxidative stress. We conclude that a single-celled organism with an exceedingly spare genome still expresses an unusually discriminating phospholipase A2, and that selective hydrolysis of phospholipid oxidation products is an early, and critical, way to overcome oxidative membrane damage and oxidant-induced cell death.
