Abstract:
A purified phospholipase enzyme peptide comprising an amino acid sequence encoded by a polynucleotide comprising a nucleotide sequence selected from:(a) the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; (b) a nucleotide sequence encoding the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2; (c) a nucleotide sequence encoding a fragment of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 having enzymatic activity in a mixed micelle assay with 1-palmitoyl-2-[14C]-arachidonyl-phosphatidylcholine, as a substrate and (d) a nucleotide sequence which hybridizes under stringent conditions of 4Ã—SSC at 65 degrees C. with the complement of the sequence of (a), (b) or (c) which encodes a peptide having enzymatic activity in a mixed micelle assay with 1-palmitoyl-2-[14C]-arachidonyl-phosphatidylcholine, as a substrate.
