Arachidonic acid release from mammalian cells transfected with human groups IIA and X secreted phospholipase A(2) occurs predominantly during the secretory process and with the involvement of cytosolic phospholipase A(2)-alpha (2004)

Mounier, C. M., Ghomashchi, F., Lindsay, M. R., James, S., Singer, A. G., Parton, R. G., ...

Stable expression of human groups IIA and X secreted phospholipases A(2) (hGIIA and hGX) in CHO-K1 and HEK293 cells leads to serum- and interleukin-1beta-promoted arachidonate release. Using mutant...

A protein geranylgeranyltransferase from bovine brain: implications for protein prenylation specificity.

Yokoyama, K, Goodwin, G W, Ghomashchi, F, Glomset, J A, Gelb, M H

A protein geranylgeranyltransferase (PGT) that catalyzes the transfer of a 20-carbon prenyl group from geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate to a cysteine residue in protein and peptide acceptors was detected...

Stress stimuli increase calcium-induced arachidonic acid release through phosphorylation of cytosolic phospholipase A2.

Buschbeck, M, Ghomashchi, F, Gelb, M H, Watson, S P, Börsch-Haubold, A G

Stress stimuli such as free radicals, high osmolarity or arsenite activate stress-activated protein kinases (SAPKs) in a wide variety of cells. In the present study, we have investigated the ability...
