Effect of sulfatide and gangliosides on phospholipase C and phospholipase A2 activity. A monolayer study.
The effect of sulfatide and gangliosides GM1, GD1a and GT1b on the activity of phospholipase C from Clostridium perfringens on dilauroylphosphatidylcholine and of porcine pancreatic phospholipase A2 on dilauroylphosphatidic acid was studied in lipid monolayers containing different proportions of glycolipids under zero-order kinetics at various constant surface pressures. The presence of sulfatide in the monolayer increases the activity of phospholipase C at high surface pressures. Gangliosides shift the cut-off pressure to lower values and inhibit the action of phospholipase C. In mixed monolayers with dilauroylphosphatidic acid, sulfatide at a molar fraction of 0.5 increases the activity of phospholipase A2 at surface pressures below 18 mN/m and shows an inhibitory effect at higher pressures. Ganglioside GM1 at a molar fraction of 0.25 completely inhibits the enzyme above 20 mN/m and markedly reduces its activity at lower pressures. Gangliosides GD1a and GT1b abolish the enzyme activity at all pressures at molar fractions of 0.25 and 0.15, respectively. The modified velocity of the enzymatic reaction in the presence of glycosphingolipids is not due to an irreversible alteration of the catalytic activity.
