General annotation (Comments)

Function

PA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2-acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides. Releases lysophospholipids (LPLs) and free fatty acids (FFAs) from membrane phospholipids in response to hormones and other external stimuli. Regulates the process of cell elongation and plays important roles in shoot gravitropism by mediating auxin-induced cell elongation. Involved in stomatal opening in response to light. Plays a role in pollen development and germination and tube growth. Ref.1 Ref.7 Ref.9

Catalytic activity

Phosphatidylcholine + H2O = 1-acylglycerophosphocholine + a carboxylate. Ref.1

Cofactor

Binds 1 calcium ion per subunit.

Enzyme regulation

Inhibited by aristolochic acid. Ref.7

Subcellular location

Secreted. Endoplasmic reticulum Ref.1 Ref.8.

Tissue specificity

Ubiquitous but expressed at a low level. Detected in vascular tissues and in the guard cells. Predominantly detected in pollen. Ref.1 Ref.6 Ref.7 Ref.9

Developmental stage

Expressed in the actively growing young stages of Arabidopsis seedlings. When plants grew, however, expression was evident only in cotyledons, primary leaves, and hypocotyls. The activity decreased in the secondary leaves, being detectable only in vascular tissues. In the roots as well, expression was localized mostly in vascular tissues. Expression becomes highly active when floral shoots bolted, especially in the young or actively growing tissues of inflorescence stems. Continuously expressed during pollen development. Ref.1 Ref.9

Induction

By auxin. By light. Ref.1 Ref.7

Disruption phenotype

RNAi mutant exhibits delayed light-induced stomatal opening. Ref.7

Miscellaneous

The enzyme has a preference towards palmitoyl acyl chain over linoleoyl acyl chain. It also has a slight preference for phosphatidylethanolamine over phosphatidylcholine.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the phospholipase A2 family.

Sequence caution

The sequence AAC62146.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous gene model prediction.

Alternative products

This entry describes 1 isoform produced by alternative splicing. [Select]

Note: A number of isoforms are produced. According to EST sequences.
Isoform 1 (identifier: Q8GZB4-1)

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.
