title: Effect of the structure of phospholipid on the kinetics of intravesicle scooting of phospholipase A2.
abstract: Action of pig pancreatic phospholipase A2 on vesicles of over 50 synthetic 1,2-diacylglycerol-3-phosphate derivatives and analogs is examined in the absence of any additives. In general, shorter acyl chains and small substituents on the phosphate make a better substrate, while phospholipids with large apolar substituents are not hydrolyzed. The interfacial turnover rate constant for scooting kinetics, ki, for the various phospholipids were from less than 0.1 to 1 per min. Intervesicle exchange of the bound enzyme is faster in vesicles of phospholipids with larger polar substituents, and it is promoted in the presence of anions like chloride, sulfate and thiocyanate. These factors lower the residence time of the enzyme on the bilayer and therefore effectively decrease the rate of hydrolysis. The apparent Km for the enzyme in the interface of anionic phospholipids in the presence of salts is in the 40 to 100 microM range which is 3- to 7-times larger than the dissociation constants for the bound enzyme measured by fluorescence enhancement of Trp-3. The quantum yield of the bound enzyme in vesicles of the various lipids is found to be up to 4-fold different. It is suggested that this difference is due to the E* + S to E*S equilibrium, where E*S has higher fluorescence intensity. The role of calcium in generating the enzyme binding site at the anionic interface, the role of anion anchoring site on the enzyme, and the relationship between the catalytic efficiency and the fluorescence quantum yields are discussed.
