文摘
Mammalian secreted phospholipases A2 (sPLA2s) constitute a family of structurally relatedenzymes that are likely to play numerous biological roles because of their phospholipid hydrolyzing activityand binding to soluble and membrane-bound proteins, including the M-type receptor. Over the past decade,a number of competitive inhibitors have been developed against the inflammatory-type human group IIA(hGIIA) sPLA2 with the aim of specifically blocking its catalytic activity and pathophysiological functions.The fact that many of these inhibitors, including the indole analogue Me-Indoxam, inhibit several othersPLA2s that bind to the M-type receptor prompted us to investigate the impact of Me-Indoxam and otherinhibitors on the sPLA2-receptor interaction. By using a Ca2+ loop mutant derived from a venom sPLA2which is insensitive to hGIIA inhibitors but still binds to the M-type receptor, we demonstrate that Me-Indoxam dramatically decreases the affinity of various sPLA2s for the receptor, yet an sPLA2-Me-Indoxam-receptor complex can form at very high sPLA2 concentrations. Me-Indoxam inhibits the bindingof iodinated mouse sPLA2s to the mouse M-type receptor expressed on live cells but also enhances bindingof sPLA2 to phospholipids. Because Me-Indoxam and other competitive inhibitors protrude out of thesPLA2 catalytic groove, it is likely that the inhibitors interfere with the sPLA2-receptor interaction bysteric hindrance and to different extents that depend on the type of sPLA2 and inhibitor. Our findingsuggests that the various anti-inflammatory therapeutic effects of sPLA2 inhibitors may be due not onlyto inhibition of enzymatic activity but also to modulation of binding of sPLA2 to the M-type receptor orother as yet unknown protein targets.
