Abstract
In cell-free extracts of rat liver macrophages (Kupffer cells) phospholipase A2 was found to be strongly activated at free Ca2+ concentrations from 100 nM to 1 microM in the presence of 4 mM free Mg2+. This is within the range of intracellular free Ca2+ reported for basal and various stimulated conditions, respectively. Ca2+ alone increased phospholipase A2 activity at high Ca2+ concentrations (1 mM) whereas Mg2+ alone had only little stimulatory effect. Calmodulin does not seem to participate in the regulation of phospholipase A2 although it relieved the inhibition of phospholipase A2 activity by calmodulin antagonists.Entities:
