Purification of lysosomal phospholipase A and demonstration of proteins that inhibit phospholipase A in a lysosomal fraction from rat kidney cortex.

Phospholipase A has been isolated from a crude lysosomal fraction from rat kidney cortex and purified 7600-fold with a recovery of 9.8% of the starting activity. The purified enzyme is a glycoprotein having an isoelectric point of pH 5.4 and an apparent molecular weight of 30,000 by high-pressure liquid chromatography gel permeation. Naturally occurring inhibitors of lysosomal phospholipase A are present in two of the lysosomal-soluble protein fractions obtained in the purification. They inhibit hydrolysis of 1,2-di[1-14C]oleoylphosphatidylcholine by purified phospholipase A1 with IC50 values of 7-11 micrograms. The inhibition is abolished by preincubation with trypsin at 37 degrees C, but preincubation with trypsin at 4 degrees C has no effect, providing evidence that the inhibitors are proteins. The results suggest that the activity of lysosomal phospholipase A may be regulated in part by inhibitory proteins. Lysosomal phospholipase A from rat kidney hydrolyzes the sn-1 acyl group of phosphatidylcholine, does not require divalent cations for full activity, and is not inhibited by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. It has an acid pH optimum of 3.6-3.8. Neither p-bromophenacyl bromide, diisopropyl fluorophosphate, nor mercuric ion inhibits phospholipase A1. In contrast to rat liver, which has two major isoenzymes of acid phospholipase A1, kidney cortex has only one isoenzyme of lysosomal phospholipase A1.
