Release of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored enzyme ecto-5′-nucleotidase by phospholipase C: catalytic activation and modulation by the lipid bilayer

Abstract: Many hydrolytic enzymes are attached to the extracellular face of the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor. Little is currently known about the consequences for enzyme function of anchor cleavage by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C. We have examined this question for the GPI-anchored protein 5h-nucleotidase (5h-ribonucleotide phosphohydrolase ; EC 3.1.3.5), both in the native lymphocyte plasma membrane, and following purification and reconstitution int… Show more

“…The removal of the GPI lipid moiety in vitro was reported to cause significant alterations in enzymatic activities [200][201][202][203] and ligand binding properties [204][205][206], thus it is quite likely that some GPI-anchored proteins in the membrane are actually reservoirs of inactive proteins that can be activated and rapidly released by GPI cleavage.…”

“…3.1.3.5) or CD73 (Resta et al, 1993) is a 5Ј-monophosphoadenosine-or inosine-specific phosphatase (Zimmermann, 1992). Upon activation of phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C, the GPI-anchored ecto-protein could be released in soluble form, while retaining its catalytic activity (Misumi et al, 1990;Lehto and Sharom, 1998).…”

“…A number of GPI-anchored proteins have been shown to be released from lymphocytes by phospholipases in the serum and to exert important signaling functions in the lymphoid system [18]. Soluble PrP has been detected in serum of humans and mice, suggesting possible physiological relevance [19].…”
