Supplementary information

Phospholipase A2 activator protein (PLAP) also known as phospholipase A facilitates the activation of phospholipase A2 enzymes. PLAP assists in the release of arachidonic acid from phospholipids within cellular membranes. The protein is approximately 30 kDa in mass and expresses widely in various tissues including liver and brain. Researchers frequently study PLAP to understand its role in modulating lipid signaling pathways.
Biological function summary

This protein actively participates in cellular responses by modulating the production of lipid mediators. PLAP does not work standalone; it forms part of the calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding complex. Through its role in this complex it influences numerous processes such as inflammation and immune response. PLAP is also essential for the optimal function of inflammatory cell membranes by regulating the release of pro-inflammatory eicosanoids.

Pathways

This protein contributes significantly to the arachidonic acid metabolism pathway and eicosanoid biosynthesis pathway. In these pathways PLAP ensures the effectiveness of phospholipase A2 enabling the release of arachidonic acid a precursor for prostaglandins and leukotrienes. These components influence key activities in cellular signaling. Proteins such as cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase follow through these pathways affecting cellular responses.

Alterations in PLAP activity relate to inflammatory conditions such as asthma and arthritis. The protein's role in the overproduction of eicosanoids connects it to the inflammation seen in these diseases. Another protein cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) also plays a significant part in these conditions acting downstream in the arachidonic acid pathway to produce inflammatory mediators. This link makes PLAP a significant target for therapeutic intervention in managing inflammation-related diseases.

Target data

Plays a role in protein ubiquitination, sorting and degradation through its association with VCP (PubMed : 27753622). Involved in ubiquitin-mediated membrane proteins trafficking to late endosomes in an ESCRT-dependent manner, and hence plays a role in synaptic vesicle recycling (By similarity). May play a role in macroautophagy, regulating for instance the clearance of damaged lysosomes (PubMed : 27753622). Plays a role in cerebellar Purkinje cell development (By similarity). Positively regulates cytosolic and calcium-independent phospholipase A2 activities in a tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF)- or lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-dependent manner, and hence prostaglandin E2 biosynthesis (PubMed : 18291623, PubMed : 28007986).
