title: Phospholipase A2 modulation by calmodulin, prostaglandins and cyclic nucleotides.
abstract: Phospholipase A2 in the presence of Ca2+ was stimulated by calmodulin and by prostaglandin F2 alpha. Prostaglandin E2, cyclic-AMP and cyclic-GMP inhibited phospholipase A2 in the presence or absence of calmodulin. Dimethylsuberimidate cross-linking of phospholipase A2 with calmodulin was found to be Ca2+ dependent. These results indicate that phospholipase A2 is directly regulated by a host of key intracellular regulators and is one of the calmodulin-regulated enzymes.
