Resumo

The influence of the phospholipid composition and the physico-chemical properties of rat liver plasma membranes on the activity of membrane-bound phospholipase A2 has been investigated. The plasma membrane composition was modified by the aid of exogenous phospholipases A2, C and D, and by butanol treatment. The partially delipidated membranes thus obtained were enriched with different phospholipids. The steady-state fluorescent anisotropy of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene and the lipid order parameter-SDPH in the modified membranes were calculated. It was established that the activity of the membrane-bound phospholipase A2 was higher in rigid membranes and was decreased when the membrane lipid bilayer was fluidized.
