Origin and evolution of group XI secretory phospholipase A₂ from flax (Linum usitatissimum) based on phylogenetic analysis of conserved domains.

ABSTRACT: Phospholipase A₂ (PLA₂) belongs to class of lipolytic enzymes (EC 3.1.1.4). Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and free fatty acids (FFAs) are the products of PLA₂ catalyzed hydrolysis of phosphoglycerides at sn-2 position. LPA and FFA that act as second mediators involved in the development and maturation of plants and animals. Mining of flax genome identified two phospholipase A₂ encoding genes, viz., LusPLA ₂ I and LusPLA ₂ II (Linum usitatissimum secretory phospholipase A₂). Molecular simulation of LusPLA₂s with already characterized plant sPLA₂s revealed the presence of conserved motifs and signature domains necessary to classify them as secretory phospholipase A₂.
