General description

Phosphatidic acid (PA), a minor constituent of biological membranes is a simplest glycerophospholipid. It has glycerol backbone with phosphate present at C-3 position. The C-1 and C-2 positions are esterified with fatty acids.

Application

10:0 PA may be used:
  • as a component in the lipid bilayer to study how lipid geometry acts in coat protein I (COPI) vesicle fission
  • to study its effects on intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in C6 rat glioma and L2071 mouse fibroblast cells
  • to activate protein kinase C (PKC)
  • as a cell-free activator in membrane and cytosolic fractions for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase assay

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphatidic acid (PA) serves as a lipid second messenger. It can control membrane shape. It is known to participate in cell proliferation, vesicular trafficking, cytoskeletal organization and signal transduction. PA can stimulate negative curvature in lamellar lipid structures. It can block the enzymatic activity of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1).

NADPH oxidase comprises both cytosolic and membrane-bound subunits, which, when assembled and activated, initiate the transfer of electrons from NADPH to molecular oxygen to form superoxide. This activity, known as the respiratory burst, is extremely important in the innate immune

Studies on vesicle formation by the Coat Protein I (COPI) complex have contributed to a basic understanding of how vesicular transport is initiated. Phosphatidic acid (PA) and diacylglycerol (DAG) have been found previously to be required for the fission stage

Eukaryotic cells are compartmentalized into membrane-bounded organelles whose functions rely on lipid trafficking to achieve membrane-specific compositions of lipids. Here we focused on the Ups1-Mdm35 system, which mediates phosphatidic acid (PA) transfer between the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes, and
