Phospholipase c

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

Phospholipase C is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of phospholipids, specifically phosphatidylinositol (PI) and phosphatidylcholine (PC), into diacylglycerol (DAG) and the corresponding phosphate-containing head group. This enzymatic activity plays a crucial role in signal transduction pathways within cells.

We design our control experiments according to the click chemistry based assays reported in Ref. (10). NIH 3T3 cells cultured with 0.5 mM propargylcholine for 48 hours were fixed with 4 % PFA for 15 minutes, rinsed with 1 mL TBS buffer twice and incubated with 1 mL 1 mg/mL BSA in TBS buffer for 1 hour at 37 °C, with or without 0.02 U/mL phospholipase C (Type XIV from Clostridium perfringens, Sigma), in the presence of 10 mM CaCl2 (required for phospholipase C activity) (Supplementary Fig. 4b) or 10 mM EDTA (Supplementary Fig. 4c). The cells were then washed with TBS buffer and ready for SRS imaging.

Quantifying Complement Regulation by DAF

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
5×106 splenocytes from NP-KLH mice were incubated in HL-serum free media for 1h at 37°C, 5% CO2 in the presence or absence of 5ug/ml Phospholipase C (Sigma-Aldrich), washed with PBS 1%FCS and surface DAF expression quantified by flow cytometry. Complement regulatory capacity of DAF-TM was assessed in vitro by incubating 5×106 splenocytes from immunized animals in 20–40% WT or C3−/− mouse serum in Annexin V buffer with 1mM MgCl2 for 20min at 37°C, 5% CO2 and quantifying C3b deposition by flow cytometry.

Lipoprotein Aggregation Measurement Assay

Lipoprotein aggregation was measured using modified human low density lipoproteins (LDL) (21 (link)). Fifty μg of protein was mixed with an equal amount of LDL protein in a total volume of 200 μL reaction buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM NaCl, 2 mM CaCl2, pH 7.4) in a 96-well plate (Greiner Bio-One). The reaction was started by addition of 200 mU phospholipase-C (Sigma-Aldrich) to the LDL apolipoprotein mixture, and the absorbance at 340 nm was recorded at 5 min intervals in a Thermo Varioskan plate reader for 2 h at 37 °C.

Quantifying Clostridial Alpha Toxin Activity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To determine the alpha toxin activity in the supernatants of strains JIR12058, EHE-NE18, CP56, JIR4866 and JIR4860, the lecithinase activity was assayed in an egg yolk agar well diffusion assay [30 (link),31 (link),32 (link)]. Therefore, small holes were pierced into Columbia agar supplemented with 2% egg yolk (v/v) with the rear end of a 20–200 µL pipette tip (diameter 7 mm), which were filled with 20 µL of supernatant per tested strain. A standard was included on each plate by preparing a two-fold dilution series of Phospholipase C (Sigma Aldrich) ranging from 1 to 0.0313 U/mL. Plates were incubated anaerobically overnight at 37 °C and scanned with a GS-800 calibrated densitometer (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA). Alpha toxin activity was indicated by the development of turbidity. The area of the opaque zones was measured using ImageJ software (U.S. National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA).

Binding of apoLp-III to lipoprotein surfaces was assessed using lipolyzed human low-density lipoprotein (LDL) as described earlier [30 (link)]. Fifty μg of LDL protein (Sigma Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO) was mixed with 100 mU phospholipase C (Sigma Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO) and incubated at 37 °C in the absence or presence of 200 μg of lipid-free or lipid-bound apoLp-III in Tris-HCl buffer (50 mM Tris HCl, 150 mM NaCl, 2 mM CaCl2, pH 7.4). Incubations were carried out in a 96-well plate with a 200 μl for each sample in triplicate. LDL aggregation induced by phospholipase C was measured by the absorbance at 340 nm at every 5 min interval for 1 h.

Synthetic Pathway for Acetyl-TAG Lipids

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The TAG standards used in this study were synthesized from their respective phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) orthologs (Avanti polar lipids, Alabaster, AL) using a two-step method. In the first step, PtdCho containing the desired sn-1/2 acyl composition were converted to 1,2-DAG using phospholipase C (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). Acetyl-TAG were subsequently synthesized by treating 1,2-DAG with acetic anhydride/pyridine (3:2) overnight at room temperature [9 (link)]. Other TAG with different chain length sn-3 fatty acids were synthesized from 1,2-DAG using the appropriate acyl-chloride (Nu-Check Prep, Waterville, MN) [10 (link)]. All TAG were purified from reaction mixtures using preparative TLC after which they were quantified using GC and their purity confirmed using ESI-MS.

Example 4

A study was conducted to test for the presence of phospholipase C (Sigma P7633). In this study, 4 ml of a solution including (6,5)-chiral SWNT at a concentration of 0.5 mg/ml were ultrasonicated alone with phosphatidylcholine at a concentration of 2.5 mg/ml to form a phosphatidylcholine wrapped SWNT.

The phosphatidylcholine wrapped SWNT was diluted to concentrations of 2.5%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% with deionized water and 20 μL of phospholipase C was added. The fluorescence signal from the solution was then measured with respect to time. FIG. 6 shows the response of phosphatidylcholine-functionalized SWNT to different dilutions of 100 mg/mL phospholipase C solution.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
