Disease relevance of Plc21C

 

High impact information on Plc21C

  • Pld overexpression rescues flies lacking PLC from light-induced, metarhodopsin-mediated degeneration and restores visual signaling in flies lacking the PI transfer protein, which is a key player in the replenishment of the PI 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) substrate used by PLC to transduce light stimuli into neurological signals [2].
  • A Drosophila gene encoding a gamma-type isozyme of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) was isolated and characterized [3].
  • PLC antisense oligonucleotide-injected oocytes show Cl- current responses to IP3 that are indistinguishable from sense oligonucleotide-injected oocytes [4].
  • Xenopus oocytes exhibit a receptor-evoked Cl- current that is mediated through the activation of phospholipase C (PLC) and release of intracellular Ca2+ [4].
  • We have characterized inositol phospholipid-specific phospholipase C (PLC) isozymes in bovine retina [5].

Associations of Plc21C with chemical compounds

  • The purification of the major PLC in KCl extract from normal Drosophila heads was achieved by sequential column chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B, Mono Q, Superose 12, Mono S, second Mono S, and second Mono Q, followed by column chromatography on Superose 12 in the presence of 1% sodium cholate [9].
  • Chromatography of a retinal homogenate on a heparin column partially resolved six peaks of PLC activity, which differed in their relative selectivities for the substrates phosphatidyl 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) and phosphatidylinositol (PI) [5].
  • We report here that the norpA-coded PLC modulates the 1,4-dihydropyridine (DHP)-sensitive Ca2+ channels in larval muscles [10].
  • By contrast, EGTA, failed to inhibit PLC activity when pre-loaded with Ca2+, but like BAPTA, inhibited both basal and light-induced PLC activity when introduced without Ca2+ [8].
  • Inositol phospholipid-specific phospholipase C (PLC) generates two important second messengers, inositol triphosphate and diacylglycerol [11].
