Abstract:
A novel function phospholipase A2, referred to herein as calciumindependent phospholipase A 2 ? (iPLA 2 ?) having SEQ ID NO: 1 and SEQ ID NO: 2, and nucleic acid sequences (SEQ ID NO: 3 and SEQ ID NO: 4) encoding and expressing iPLA 2 ?. This novel enzyme has been isolated and characterized and is involved in the catalysis and hydrolysis of lipids cycling in a living cell biosystem. In an embodiment, the compromises to an isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a set of iPLA 2 ? polynucleotides. In an aspect of this embodiment, the iPLA 2 ? polynucleotides encode and express an iPLA 2 ? polypeptide. In one aspect, an isolated and characterized gene comprises a polynucleotide having a sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 3 and SEQ ID NO: 4.

Abstract:
A method for intentionally modulating by externally directing the amount of fat in a living mammal having adipocyte cells which comprises administering a compound thereto having reactive selectivity to the metabolic regulatory system of the cells of the animal to increase the fatty acid a oxidation of the lipid content in the differentiating adipocyte thereby reducing the amount of equivalents available for ATP synthesis.
Abstract:
A method for identifying an agonist exhibiting molecular or pharmacologic inhibition which is effective against the activity of at least one of iPLA 2 β and iPLA 2 γ which comprises culturing 3T3-L1 cells and transfecting them with negative control siRNA, siRNA directed against iPLA 2 β or siring directed against iPLA 2 γ prior to induction or during to differentiation or pharmacologic inhibition and observing for whether that down regulation of iPLA 2 β or iPLA 2 γ inhibits adipocyte differentiation.
Abstract:
A method of identifying compounds that modulate the activity of myocardial calcium-independent phospholipase A2 is disclosed. In a test assay of the method of the invention, myocardial calcium-independent phospholipase A2 40kDa catalytic subunit, 85kDa phosphofructokinase isoform, ATP, a substrate and a test compound are combined and the myocardial calcium-independent phospholipase A2 activity is determined. The level of activity observed in the test assay is compared to the level of activity generated from a control assay which is similar to the test assay but which does not include the test compound. Essentially pure myocardial calcium-independent phospholipase A2 85kDa phosphofructokinase isoform is also disclosed.
