[Anionic center of porcine pancreatic phospholipase A2].
The interaction between porcine pancreatic phospholipase A2 and low-molecular fragments of its substrate -- lecithine was studied using gel-diffusion of the enzyme in lecithin-agarose plates. When the inhibitor was added, a decrease in the magnitude of cleared areas (l/l0) around the depots filled with enzyme solution was observed. A marked decrease in l/l0 in the presence of alpha- and beta-glycerophosphates supported the statement that the cathionic center is a part of the enzyme active site SII. The potent inhibition of phospholipase activity in the presence of phosphocholine, choline, acetylcholine, thiocholine and acylthiocholines suggests the existence of an anionic center SIII in the active site. This suggestion is supported by intensive inhibition of phospholipase activity by certain, aliphatic amines. It was shown that the center is spaced in the direction of the cathionic center. SII. The main contribution to the binding of the cathionic lecithin part ("head") with the anionic center SIII is probably provided by the ion-ionic interactions.
