FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to novel mammalian phospholipase A.sub.2 nucleotide sequences, low molecular, weight (approximately 14 KD) amino acid sequences encoded thereby, clones and vectors which include the mammalian phospholipase A.sub.2 nucleotide sequences, antisense nucleotide sequences complementary to the genes and mRNA transcripts encoding for the phospholipase amino acid sequences, nucleotide sequences having internal ribosome binding sites which allow for internal initiation of mRNA cap-independent translation, and cell lines.
BACKGROUND
Phospholipase A.sub.2 s--phosphatide 2-acylhydrolase, EC 3.1.1.4 (hereinafter "PLA.sub.2 ") constitute a diverse family of enzymes that hydrolyze the sn-2 fatty acyl ester bond of phosphogylcerides, producing free fatty acid and lysophospholipids. See Dennis, E. A. Phospholiphases. In: The Enzymes, edited by Boyer, P. New York: Academic Press, p. 307-353 (1983). Over the past two decades, PLA.sub.2 activities have been purified and characterized from different tissues, cultured cells, and exudates from different mammals. See Rordorf, G. et al.: J. Neuroscience, 11:1829-1826 (1991); Seilhamer, J. J. et al.: J. Biochem., 106:38-42 (1989); Langlais J. et al.: Biocham. & Biophys. Res. Comm., 182:208-214 (1992); Murakami, M. et al.: J. Biochem., 111:175-181 (1992); and Jordan, L. M. et al.: J. Chromat., 597:299-308 (1992). These enzymes have been found to vary in molecular weight, optimal pH, Ca.sup.2+ dependence, substrate specificity, and solubility.
To date, two classes of unrelated PLA.sub.2 s have been reported. One is a family of low molecular mass, approximately 14 kDa PLA.sub.2 s which are characterized by a rigid three dimensional structure maintained by disulfide bridges and a catalytic requirement for Ca.sup.2+. The other is a high molecular mass, 82 kDa, intracellular PLA.sub.2 found in the cytosolic subcellular fraction in the absence of calcium, but associated with cellular membranes at calcium concentrations from 0.1 to 10 .mu.M. See Clark, J. D. et al.: Cell, 65:1043-1051 (1991) and Sharp, J. D. et al.: J. Biol. Chem., 266:14850-14853 (1991). In addition, several Ca.sup.++ -insensitive PLA.sub.2 activities are believed to exist, however, it is also believed that as yet none of the genes encoding such activities have been cloned.
In terms of structure, low molecular weight, e.g., about 14 kDa, PLA.sub.2 s rank among the best characterized enzymes. Complete primary sequences have been determined for more than 50 PLA.sub.2 s from organisms such as snakes, bees and humans. See Heinrikson, R. L.: Methods in Enzymology, 197:201-214 (1991); Davidson, F. F. et al.: J. Mol. Evolution, 31:228-238 (1990); and Dennis, E. A. Phospholiphases. In: The Enzymes, edited by Boyer, P. New York, Academic Press, p. 307-353 (1983). In all active 14 kDa PLA.sub.2 s, 18 amino acids are believed to be conserved. See Heinrikson, R. L.: Methods in Enzymology, 197:201-214 (1991) and Davidson, F. F. J. Mol. Evolution, 31:228-238 (1990). Based on selected structural determinants, the low molecular weight PLA.sub.2 s have been classified into two types. See Heinrikson, R. L. et al.: J. Biol. Chem., 252:4913-4921 (1977). Type I enzymes have a disulfide bridge connecting cysteines between amino acids 11 and 77. In addition, there is an insertion of three amino acids between residues 54 and 56, the so-called elapid loop. The only identified mammalian Type I PLA.sub.2 s, see Seilhamer, J. J. et al.: DNA, 5:519-527 (1986) and Ohara, O. et al.: J. Biochem., 99:733-739 (1986), are expressed mainly in the pancreas and function extracellularly in digestion. Type II PLA.sub.2 s, on the other hand, lack the disulfide bridge between amino acids 11 and 77, have carboxy-terminal (COOH-terminal) amino acid extensions which can vary in length, but are commonly seven amino acids in length, which typically terminate in a half-cysteine joined to Cys-50 near the catalytic site His-48. The mammalian Type II PLA.sub.2 s reported to date occur in trace amounts in several tissues such as liver and spleen and are secreted from various cells in response to appropriate stimuli. See Seilhamer, J. J. et al.: J. Biol. Chem., 264:5335-5338 (1989); Kramer, R. M. et al.: J. Biol. Chem., 264:5768-5775 (1989); Komada, M. et al.: J. Biochem., 106:545-547 (1989); Kusunoki, C. et al.: Biochimica Et Biophysica Acta, 1087:95-97 (1990); Aarsman, A. J. et al.: J. Biol. Chem., 264:10008-10014 (1989); Ono, T. et al.: J. Biol. Chem., 264:5732-5738 (1988); Horigome, K. et al.: J. Biochem., 101:53-61 (1987); Nakano, T. et al.: Febs. Letters, 261:171-174 (1990); and Schalkwijk, C. et al.: Biochem. & Biophys. Res. Comm., 174:268-272 (1991). It is believed that Type II PLA.sub.2 s are associated with the pathologies of several diseases involving infection, tissue damage, and inflammation, such as acute pancreatitis, septic shock, peritonitis and rheumatoid arthritis. See Vadas, P. et al.: Lab. Invest., 55:391-404 (1986); Pruzanski, W. et al.: Advances in Exper. Med. & Biol., 279:239-251 (1990); Uhl, W. et al.: J. Trauma, 30:1283-1290 (1990); and Malfertheiner, P. et al.: Klinische Wochenscrift, 67:183-185 (1989). Mammalian Type I and II PLA.sub.2 s share approximately 30-40% amino acid homology; however, eighteen amino acids are invariantly conserved in all known functional PLA.sub.2 s. Type I mammalian PLA.sub.2 genes contain 4 coding exons; Type II mammalian genes contain five exons, the first of which is noncoding.
In 1990, a distinct 120 bp putative PLA.sub.2 exon-like fragment (h10a), homologous to the amino-terminus encoding region of known PLA.sub.2 s, was obtained by screening a human genomic DNA library with a 45 bp human PLA.sub.2 Type II oligonucleotide probe. See Johnson, L. K. et al.: Advances in Exper. Med. & Biol., 275:17-34 (1990). Zoo blots indicated that the putative exon has been highly conserved during evolution. However, additional exons indicating the presence of a complete gene, a corresponding cDNA, or evidence of transcription in different human tissues was not found.
Neuronal ceroid lipfuscinoses (NCL), or Batten disease, are terminal, inheritable, lysosomal storage diseases of children. They are characterized by the accumulation of an autofluorescent pigment (ceroid or lipofuscin) in cells, especially neurons and epithelial pigment cells of the retina. NCL patients typically manifest high levels of the highly reactive compound, 4-hydroxynonenal. These levels are believed to be a consequence of a failure to resolve peroxidized, fatty acids in the normal way. It is believed that this failure could be the result of a phospholipase A.sub.2 defect.
The infantile form of NCL has now been linked to chromosome 1p33-35. See Jarvela, I. et al.: Genomics, 9:170-173 (1991). The non-pancreatic PLA.sub.2 (Type II) has also been mapped to chromosome 1. The Type II gene and two additional putative exon-like "fragments" (h8 and h10a), see Johnson, L. K. et al.: Advances in Exper. Med. & Biol., 275:17-34 (1990), are located at about 1p34--in the middle of the region where gene for infantile NCL is believed to reside. See Jarvala, I. et al.: Genomics, 9:170-173 (1991). h8 and h10a each contain a unique sequence which is highly homologous to, but distinct from, exon two (which contains the calcium binding domain) of PLA.sub.2 Type II.
Consequently, there is a continuing need to further identify and characterize additional PLA.sub.2 exons if such exist. Such exons could be part of unidentified genes. To the extent there are additional unidentified PLA.sub.2 exons and genes, they may encode proteins (enzymes) that function in a manner different from, similar to, or overlapping with, the known PLA.sub.2 s. Moreover, such unidentified exons and/or genes and the enzymes encoded thereby may be regulated by some of the same effectors as the known PLA.sub.2 genes and their proteins. Investigation of these unidentified exons and/or genes and their encoded enzymes may therefore result in new approaches to therapy of PLA.sub.2 -related diseases, such as Batten disease and inflammatory disease. Alternatively, these unidentified enzymes may have entirely different physiologic and pathologic functions. Thus, therapeutic approaches designed to block the activity of the known Type II PLA.sub.2 enzymes may also block or reduce the activity of these novel enzymes, thereby producing unexpected side effects. Still further, a better understanding of the regulation of expression of the known and unidentified Type II PLA.sub.2 genes in different tissues will likely expand the overall understanding of the biology and metabolic processes involving PLA.sub.2 s.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In brief, the present invention overcomes certain of the above-mentioned shortcomings and drawbacks associated with the present state of the PLA.sub.2 art through the discovery of a novel family of mammalian PLA.sub.2 genes or nucleic acid sequences encoding low molecular weight amino acid sequences, clones, vectors, antisense nucleotide sequences, nucleotide sequences having internal binding sites, and cell lines.
More particularly, the low molecular weight, i.e., about 14 kDa, amino acid sequences encoded by the novel family of mammalian PLA.sub.2 genes or sequences of the present invention may be generally characterized as enzymes having esterase activity specific for the acyl group at the sn2 position of glycero-phospholipids. Moreover, the novel amino acid sequences of the present invention do not include disulfide bridges between cysteine amino acids 11 and 77 and elapid loops. Still further, the novel amino acid sequences of the present invention may in some instances include COOH-terminal amino acid extensions which can vary in length. In addition, because of the difference in the number of cysteine residues in the encoded amino acid sequences, those novel PLA.sub.2 s of the present invention that include 16 cysteine amino acid residues have been designated as Type III whereas those novel Type IV PLA.sub.2 s of the instant invention include 12 cysteines and have been designated at Type IV. Exemplary of Type III PLA.sub.2 s of the present invention are the genes identified as RPLA.sub.2 -8 (rat) and partial HPLA.sub.2 -8 (human), as well as the RPLA.sub.2 -8 (rat) cDNA. Examples of Type IV PLA.sub.2 s of the present invention are the cDNAs identified as RPLA.sub.2 -10 (rat) and HPLA.sub.2 -10 (human).
In accordance with the present invention, a human PLA.sub.2 -encoding cDNA, which expresses HPLA.sub.2 -10, see FIG. 12, has been isolated from human brain RNA by RACE-PCR technique. The HPLA.sub.2 -10 cDNA also has been isolated from a human stomach cDNA library. In addition, two rat PLA.sub.2 encoding cDNAs, designated RPLA.sub.2 -8 (FIG. 3) and RPLA.sub.2 -10 (FIG. 11), have been isolated from rat brain and heart cDNA libraries, respectively. The RPLA.sub.2 -10 is believed to be the counterpart of the HPLA.sub.2 -10. RPLA.sub.2 -10 and HPLA.sub.2 -10 share about 79% and 78% homology at the open reading frame nucleic acid and amino acid sequence levels, respectively. The mature enzyme encoded by the HPLA.sub.2 -10 clone has a calculated molecular weight of about 13,592, whereas the mature enzyme encoded by the RPLA.sub.2 -8 clone has a calculated molecular weight of about 14,673. As indicated, a partial human genomic counterpart to RPLA.sub.2 -8, HPLA.sub.2 -8 genomic DNA, has been isolated. See FIG. 19.
Comparison of the RPLA.sub.2 -8 amino acid sequence deduced from the cDNA sequence to Type I and Type II PLA.sub.2 s is shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. The significant structural features of the RPLA.sub.2 -8 protein are summarized in TABLE I. Seventeen (17) of the eighteen (18) absolutely conserved amino acids in all active 14 kDa PLA.sub.2 s are conserved in RPLA.sub.2 -8. RPLA.sub.2 -8 protein does not contain either a disulfide bridge between Cysteines 11 and 77 or an elapid loop, which are both characteristic of Type I PLA.sub.2 s. RPLA.sub.2 -8 protein, however, does include a seven amino acid COOH-terminal extension having the sequence GRDKLHC, as shown in FIG. 27, which is a characteristic of Type II PLA.sub.2 s as evidenced in FIGS. 22 and 27. Furthermore, unlike mammalian type I and II PLA.sub.2 s which have 14 cysteine amino acid residues, RPLA.sub.2 -8 protein includes 16 cysteine amino acid residues. It is therefore believed that RPLA.sub.2 -8 encodes a novel PLA.sub.2, which has been designated as PLA.sub.2 Type III.
The cDNAs of RPLA.sub.2 -10 and HPLA.sub.2 -10 are 1.8 kb (FIG. 11) and 1.1 kb (FIG. 12), respectively. A comparison between the deduced amino acid sequences from RPLA.sub.2 -10 and HPLA.sub.2 -10 is shown in FIG. 13. FIGS. 14 and 15 are comparisons between the HPLA.sub.2 -10 deduced amino acid sequence and those of Type I and II human PLA.sub.2 s, respectively. FIGS. 18 and 16 are comparisons between the RPLA.sub.2 -10 deduced amino acid sequence and those of Type I and II rat PLA.sub.2 s, respectively. A comparison between the deduced amino acid sequences from RPLA.sub.2 -10 and RPLA.sub.2 -8 is shown in FIG. 17. The major structural features of human and rat PLA.sub.2 -10 deduced amino acid sequences are listed in TABLE I. All eighteen (18) conserved amino acids in all of the active low-molecular weight, approximately 14 kDa, PLA.sub.2 s are conserved in both human and rat PLA.sub.2 -10 amino acid sequences of the present invention. Like the predicted RPLA.sub.2 -8 amino acid sequence, human and rat PLA.sub.2 -10 amino acid sequences also lack disulfide bridges between Cys-11 and 77 and elapid loops. However, PLA.sub.2 -10 amino acid sequences are believed to differ from RPLA.sub.2 -8 protein by having twelve (12) cysteine residues instead of sixteen (16). They further differ from RPLA.sub.2 -8 in that RPLA.sub.2 -10 does not have a COOH-terminal amino acid extension as depicted in FIG. 27 and HPLA.sub.2 -10 has only a single serine amino acid COOH-terminal extension as illustrated in FIG. 22. The PLA.sub.2 -10 proteins of the present invention have therefore been designated, as mentioned hereinbefore, as PLA.sub.2 Type IV.
The present invention also contemplates antisense nucleotide sequences which are complementary to the genes and mRNA transcripts which encode for the Type III and Type IV PLA.sub.2 s. Exemplary of antisense sequences in accordance with the present invention are those which are complementary to the entire or portions of the nucleotide sequences set forth in FIGS. 3, 11, 12 and 19. It should therefore be understood that the present invention contemplates any antisense nucleotide sequence which may be useful in connection with inhibiting or interfering with the expression of the Type III and Type IV PLA.sub.2 enzyme genes and mRNA transcripts therefor.
The above features and advantages will be better understood with reference to the FIGS., Detailed Description and Examples which are set out hereinbelow. It should be understood that the biological materials of this invention are exemplary only and are not to be regarded as limitations of this invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
By way of illustrating and providing a more complete appreciation of the present invention and many of the attendant advantages thereof, the following detailed description is provided concerning the novel mammalian PLA.sub.2 nucleotide sequences, the low molecular weight amino acid sequences encoded thereby, clones, vectors, antisense nucleotide sequences, nucleotide sequences having internal ribosome binding sites, and cell lines.
In accordance with the present invention, a 4.4 kb cDNA containing the r8 fragment, a rat genomic fragment containing sequences homologous to h8 fragment, is isolated from a rat fetal brain cDNA library. See FIG. 1. This cDNA is about five-times larger than any mammalian PLA.sub.2 cDNA known to date. Uniquely, the entire coding region is contained on a putative 1 kb loop flanked by 121 bp inverted perfect repeats, leaving about a 3 kb 3' "tail." See FIG. 2. The sequence of the entire cDNA is shown in FIG. 3. The size of the gene is about 15 kb. See FIG. 4. A preliminary screen of some rat tissues by reverse transcription and PCR (RT-PCR), using primers Pla8-l and Pla8-4, reveals the pattern of RPLA.sub.2 -8 gene expression indicated in Table I.

Using parts of RPLA.sub.2 -8 as probes, a partial human genomic clone which is homologous to rat genomic clone is identified. See FIG. 19. To date, all but the third of the four exons in the human genomic DNA, see FIGS. 5-7, is identified and sequenced. The 3' flanking regions of the human and rat genes show very significant homology (about 50 percent) for about 500 bp. This conservation is unusual and suggests functional importance. It is functionally demonstrated that RPLA.sub.2 -8 cDNA contains an internal ribosome binding site that enables internal translation initiation.
A comparison of the significant structural features of the putative protein encoded by RPLA.sub.2 -8 cDNA sequence and encoded amino acid sequence to those of the corresponding pancreatic and non-pancreatic PLA.sub.2 enzymes are shown in FIG. 8 and 9. Pancreatic PLA.sub.2 is known as Type I and the non-pancreatic PLA.sub.2 is designated as Type II. It is believed that PLA.sub.2 -8 encodes a novel PLA.sub.2 which is designated as Type III. An enzyme encoded by a gene containing the h10a sequence is designated Type IV (see below). The proximity (within about a million base pair region in the mouse) of the genes for Types III and IV to the PLA.sub.2 Type II gene suggests a common evolutionary origin as does their localization to the same band on human chromosome 1. Further, Types II, III and IV are likely to be members of a gene family and may represent isozymes. However, a homology comparison indicates that the RPLA.sub.2 -8 protein is relatively distant, evolutionarily, from both Type I and Type II PLA.sub.2 enzymes, but is believed to be probably closer to Type II.
In accordance with the present invention, human cDNA that contains the h10a fragment and rat cDNA that contains the rat counterpart are isolated. See FIGS. 11 and 12. The predicted protein sequences of HPLA.sub.2 -10 and RPLA.sub.2 -10 and comparisons to each other and Types I and II are shown in FIGS. 13-17. Some of the significant structural features of the proteins encoded by these cDNAs are shown in TABLE I. Importantly, the 18 amino acids that are believed to be requisite for PLA.sub.2 function are conserved in both predicted proteins. See FIG. 22. This fact, plus the high degree of conservation between species, suggests that these Type IV proteins play an important role in phospholipid metabolism and processes such as membrane structuring, inflammation and intracellular signaling.
The amino acid sequences of the present invention may be produced by, for example, recombinant technology, chemical synthesis or any other methods available in the art so long as the methodology selected does not interfere with their utilities. Likewise, the nucleotide sequences of the instant invention may be produced by, for instance, PCR technology, chemical synthesis or any other methods available in the art so long as the methodology selected does not interfere with their utilities. Moreover, amino acid residues may be deleted or added or alternative amino acid residues may be substituted for those recited in the amino acid sequences of the instant invention so long as such changes do not defeat the utilities of such amino acid sequences. Still further, it should be appreciated that the present invention contemplates any amino acid sequences which are equivalent to or constitute active fragments of the amino acid sequences for the Type III and Type IV PLA.sub.2 enzymes of the present invention. Of course, corresponding or other changes may be made to the nucleotide sequences of the present invention to accomplish the objectives of this invention.
It should also be appreciated that the present invention contemplates a.) any antisense nucleotide sequences which are capable of inhibiting or interfering with expression of genes and mRNA transcripts encoding Type III and Type IV PLA.sub.2 enzymes of the present invention, including any amino acid sequences that are equivalent thereto or active fragments thereof, and b.) any nucleotide sequences having bases 116-720 of FIG. 3 and any equivalent fragments thereto or active fragments thereof that allow for internal initiation of mRNA cap-independent translation. Like other nucleotide sequences of the present invention, substitutions, deletions and additions may be made to the antisense nucleotide sequences and the nucleotide sequences having internal ribosome binding sites of the present invention so long as the objectives of the present invention are not defeated.
HPLA.sub.2 -10
In order to clone an cDNA containing the putative HPLA.sub.2 exon, two primers, HClo10-1 and HClo10-1a, are generated according to the 120 bp presumptive exon II sequence. See FIG. 12. PCR amplification with these primers is used to screen human child brain, adult brain, liver, heart, and various white cell cDNA libraries. PCR amplification products are not obtained.
Since zoo blots have indicated that this putative exon is evolutionarily conserved, a rat genomic cosmid library (Clontech, Inc.) is screened using a PCR-generated copy of the HClo10-1-HClo10-1a fragement as a probe. Three unique positive clones are identified. Southern blot anaysis of the three EcoRI-digested clones using the HClo10-1-HClo10-1a fragment as a probe identifies a common 5 kb band. This band is subcloned into EcoRI-digested pUC13 and sequenced. A region (rat-10 putative exon II) in the 5 kb sequence highly homologous to h10a is identified by computer analysis.
In order to search for the presence exon I, the 5 kb human genomic DNA clone containing putative exon II is sequenced completely. Computer analysis of the sequence identified two highly homologous regions. One appears to be exon II. It contains a consensus splice acceptor site at its 5' end and a consensus splice donor site at its 3' end. The other region, located about 1.2 kb 5' of the exon II, contains a consensus splice donor site at its 3, end and a putative in-frame ATG start codon at its 5' end. It is likely to be exon I. Furthermore, when these two putative exons are joined together using the assumed splice donor and acceptor sites, the resulting sequence encodes a signal peptide and 41 amino acids which have significant homology to the amino terminus of known, mature PLA.sub.2 s.
After determining the putative exon I sequence, H10-A, a 5' primer located within exon I, and H10-1a, a 3' primer located within exon II, see FIG. 12, are used for RT-PCR of total human brain and lymphoblast RNA. A unique 140 bp band from both PCR reactions is sequenced. The 140 bp contains coding exons I and II, but not the putative intron I of HPLA.sub.2 -10. 5' and 3' RACE-RT PCR techniques, Frohman, M. A. et al.: PNAS, 85:8998-9002 (1988); O'Hara, O. et al.: PNAS, 86:6883-6887 (1989); and Loh, Y. et al.: Science, 243:217-220 (1989), are then used to generate the full length cDNA sequence from total human brain RNA. See FIG. 10. The entire cDNA sequence, designated HPLA.sub.2 -10, is shown in FIG. 12. Exon-intron junction sites are determined by genomic DNA analysis. Since the genomic DNA clone containing the first 120 bp of HPLA.sub.2 -10 is not obtained, it has not been determined if there are any introns in this region of the HPLA.sub.2 -10 genomic sequence. If no additional exons are found, HPLA.sub.2 -10 will apparently have an exon-intron structure typical of known Type II PLA.sub.2 s with a 5' untranslated exon followed by four protein coding exons.
Primers H10-A (bases 149-170) and H10-C (bases 520-548) are used to screen by PCR amplification a human stomach cDNA library (Clonetech, Inc.). A 399 bp and a 290 bp PCR amplification product are obtained only from the stomach cDNA library. The two PCR fragments are cloned into pUC19 and sequenced. The sequence of the 399 bp fragment is identical to the HPLA.sub.2 -10 RACE-RT PCR generated cDNA sequence from bases 148 to 541. The 290 bp fragment is identical to the 399 bp fragment except that it is missing bases 316 to 422 which encompass the 5' end of exon III. See FIG. 11. The same two PCR fragments are also amplified from total human brain and lymphocyte RNA using primers H10-A and H10-C. The 290 bp PCR product is much less abundant than the 399 bp product when amplified from human stomach and brain RNA and stomach cDNA library. Since the 290 bp product codes only for the signal peptide and the first 41 amino acids of the mature protein because of an in-frame stop codon immediately following the 41st amino acid, the in vivo significance of this product is unknown at this time.
Using the 399 bp PCR product as a probe, 6.times.10.sup.5 individual plaques from the human stomach cDNA library are screened. Four positive clones are identified. The clones, designated HPLA.sub.2 -10-2, -3, -5, -7, have inserts of 1.4, 2.3 0.9, and 0,8 kb, respectively. The inserts of these clones are released by EcoRI digestion, subcloned into pUC19 and sequenced completely. HPLA.sub.2 -10-2 contains exon I-intron I-exon II of HPLA.sub.2 -10; HPLA.sub.2 -10-3 contains intron III-exon IV-intron IV of HPLA.sub.2 -10. The sequences of both HPLA.sub.2 -10-5 and HPLA.sub.2 -10-7 are identical to the corresponding regions of the RACE-RT-PCR generated HPLA.sub.2 -10 sequence except that the 5' end of the HPLA.sub.2 -10-5 starts at base 142 of the RACE-RT-PCR sequence and the 5' end of HPLA.sub.2 -10-7 starts at base 23.
To determine the transcription pattern of HPLA.sub.2 -10, a Human Multiple Northern Blot (Clontech, Inc.) is probed with a 399 bp fragment, i.e., HPLA.sub.2 -10 PCR probe, generated by PCR with primers H10-A (bases 149-170) and H10-C (bases 520-548). As seen in TABLE II, a 1.2 kb transcript is detected in heart and, less abundantly, in liver and lung RNA. In addition, a 2 kb transcript is detected in placental RNA. This suggests that the expression of HPLA.sub.2 -10 is not only tissue specific, but that alternative forms of the protein may be expressed in different tissues. The 2 kb transcript seen in placental RNA may result from the use of a different promoter, alternative splicing or the use of an alternative poly A site.
The HPLA.sub.2 -10 cDNA encodes a mature protein of about 118 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of about 13,592 Daltons. The amino acid sequence has significant homology to known PLA.sub.2 s. All of the 18 invariantly conserved amino acids in known active low molecular weight PLA.sub.2 s, see Davidson, F. F.: J. Mol. Evolution, 31:228-238 (1990), are conserved in this novel protein. See FIG. 22. However, HPLA.sub.2 -10 contains neither the disulfide bridge between Cys 11 and 77 nor the elapid loop characteristic of Type I PLA.sub.2 s. HPLA.sub.2 -10 does, however, contain a single serine amino acid COOH-terminal extension, as shown in FIG. 22, which is more characteristic of a Type I than Type II PLA.sub.2. As depicted in FIG. 22, Human Type I has a two amino acid COOH-terminal extension whereas Human Type II has a seven amino acid COOH-terminal extension. Furthermore, unlike mammalian Types I and II PLA.sub.2 s which have 14 cysteine residues, this putative HPLA.sub.2 only has 12. The overall homology between HPLA.sub.2 -10 and a consensus Type I PLA.sub.2 is about 30.5% while the overall homology between HPLA.sub.2 -10 and a consensus Type II PLA.sub.2 is about 40.6%. The predicted isoelectric point (pI) of this protein is about 6.2 while that of other known Type II PLA.sub.2 s is about 10.5.
To test whether this HPLA.sub.2 -10 gene encodes an active, secreted PLA.sub.2, an Epstein Barr virus-based expression vector (pCEP) is used to express the HPLA.sub.2 -10 cDNA in human 293s cells. pCEP contains two regions of the EBV genome required for episomal maintenance (EBNA-1 and OriP), a drug resistance gene for selection in human cells (hyg), bacterial sequences for maintenance in E. coli, a drug resistance gene for selection in E. coli (amp), and an expression cassette for the production of high levels of mRNA from an introduced sequence by using an Rous/Sarcoma virus long terminal repeat (RSV LTR) promoter and an Simian virus 40 (SV40) polyadenylation signal. HPLA.sub.2 -10-5', a 5' primer beginning at base 126 of HPLA.sub.2 -10 and containing a 10 nucleotide NheI linker at its 5' end, and HPLA.sub.2 -10-3', a 3' primer ending at base 555 and beginning with a 10 nucleotide XhoI linker, are used for reverse-transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) of total human brain RNA to generate the appropriate cDNA insert. The PCR product is blunt-end ligated to HincII-digested pUC19 and sequenced. The insert is then released by digestion with NheI and XhoI and is cloned into the NheI-XhoI sites of pCEP. The resulting plasmid is designated pCh10.
A known human Type II PLA.sub.2 cDNA is cloned into pCEP for use as a positive control. PCR primers RASF-5' and RASF-3' are used to amplify bases 130 to 581 of pRASF, a plasmid containing the entire human known PLA.sub.2 Type II cDNA. See Seilhamer, J. J.: J. Biol. Chem., 264:5335-5338 (1989). The resulting plasmid is designated pRASF and is used as a control. The HPLA.sub.2 -2B (Type II) enzyme, as depicted in FIGS. 25 and 26, are expressed by pRASF and used as a control.
Purified plasmid DNA is transfected into human 293s cells which are selected in DMEM containing 200 .mu.g/ml hygromycin. Medium samples from multiple cell lines transfected with either pCH10, pR8-3' or pRASF are then assayed for PLA.sub.2 activity. See FIG. 21. PLA.sub.2 activities derived from cell lines transfected with plasmids pCH10, pR8-3', and pRASF are accumulated in the medium. Neither 293s cells nor multiple cell lines transfected with an unrelated PLA.sub.2 cDNA inactivated by a one base pair deletion at the 5' end of the mature protein show detectable PLA.sub.2 activity in the medium even after 72 hours. Cell lysates that are prepared by sonication from cells stably transfected with either pCH10 or pRASF show approximately 50% of the activity of 72 hour medium samples.
Two cell lines, CpCH10-1D expressing pCH10 and CpRASF-2B expressing PRASF, are chosen for comparative study. The pH profile for the enzyme expressed by the cell lines is shown in FIG. 25. PLA.sub.2 activity of HPLA.sub.2 -10 starts at about pH 5 and significant activity is reached at between about pH 6.5 and about pH 7.5 and remains relatively steady up to at least about pH 9.5, whereas the control Type II PLA.sub.2 reaches peak activity at between about pH 7.0 and about pH 7.5 and then progressively declines.
Calcium concentration versus enzyme activity profiles for CpCH10-1D and CpRASF-2B are shown in FIG. 26. HPLA.sub.2 -10 appears to be a calcium-dependent PLA.sub.2 having activity starting at about 0.07 mM Ca.sup.2+ amd reaching maximal activity at between about 7 mM and about 100 mM Ca.sup.2+. The activity of HPLA.sub.2 -10 then slowly decreases, but maintains significant activity, as the Ca.sup.2+ concentration approaches about 500 mM or more. This profile differs from that of the control cell line CpRASF-2 (Type II PLA.sub.2) which shows maximal activity at between about 0.5 mM and 3.0 mM Ca.sup.2+ and becomes inactive at Ca.sup.2+ concentrations at about 100 mM or greater. Since HPLA.sub.2 -10 expresses at least half of its maximal activity at Ca.sup.2+ concentrations between 1 and 100 mM, similar to previously described Type II phospholipases, see Marshall: Biochemical Pharmacology, V. 44:1849-1858 (1992), it is likely that HPLA.sub.2 -10 is capable of functioning at concentrations found intracellularly (0.1 to 2 .mu.M) and extracellularly (1 mM).
RPLA.sub.2 -8
Two PCR primers, Pla8-1 and Pla8-2 (FIG. 3), are generated using the reported rat r8 presumptive exon II sequence. See Seilhamer, J. J. et al.: J. Cell. Biochem., 39:327-337 (1989). Four size-fractionated, newborn rat brain cDNA XZAPII libraries (two 0.5-1.5 kb, one 1.5-4 kb, and one greater than 4 kb, provided by Dr. L. Yu, Indiana School of Medicine, are directly amplified by PCR, See Friedman, K. D. et al.: Nucleic Acids Research; 16:8718 (1988), using primers pla8-1 and pla-2. Only the >4 kb insert library gives the proper size 120 bp fragment prediced by the Clo8 DNA sequence. The band is purified from an agarose gel using a QIAEX gel extraction kit (QIAGEN), cloned into m13mp18, and is sequenced using a Sequenase kit (USB). The sequence data confirms the proper identity of the PCR product. A total of 10.sup.6 individual clones from the cDNA library are screened using the PCR product as a probe. Only two clones hybridize. The restriction maps of the two clones are believed to be identical. One of them, clo8-2, is sequenced completely. The sequence, designated RPLA.sub.2 -8, is shown in FIG. 3.
RPLA.sub.2 -8 is a 4.4 kb cDNA, which is about five-times larger than any known mammalian 14 kDa PLA.sub.2 cDNA. See Seilhamer, J. J. et al.: DNA, 5:519-527 (1986); Seilhamer, J. J. et al.: J. Biol. Chem., 264:5335-5338 (1989); Ohara, O. et al.: Proc. Natl. Acad. Sciences U.S.A., 86:6883-6887 (1989); Kramer, R. M. et al.: J. Biol. Chem., 264:5768-5775 (1989); and Komada, M. et al.: J. Biochem., 106:545-547 (1989). The 480 bp coding region is believed to be contained in a putative 1.2 kb loop flanked by 121 bp perfect inverted repeats. See FIG. 2. This stem-loop is flanked by perfect 121 bp inverted repeats. This stem-loop structure leaves about 3 kb of 3' "tail." See FIGS. 1 and 2. Translation of RNAs containing such a secondary structure cannot readily be explained by the conventional translation scanning model. See Pain, V. M.: Biochemistry J., 235:625-637 (1986). Nevertheless, it is believed that there is an internal ribosome binding site between the 5' repeat sequence and ATG translation start site. Cloning the sequence between base 116 and 720, see FIG. 3, in both normal and reverse orientations in front of an internal luciferase gene which lies downstream of a CAT gene, see Macejjak, D. G. et al.: Nature, 353:90-94 (1991), see FIG. 20, followed by detecting luciferase gene expression in transfected Hela cells (with positive and negative control constructs), confirms that the fragment does contain a internal ribosome binding sequence. Luciferase expression is significantly higher when the fragment is cloned in normal orientation then in reverse orientation. It is believed that the translation of mRNAs initiated by an internal ribosome binding mechanism may play an important role in mitosis, meiosis or specific viral infection, because cap-dependent translation during mitosis in mammalian cells is unlikely, due to the presence of underphosphorylated and therefore nonfunctional translation initiation factor, eif-4F. See Macejjak, D. G. et al.: Nature, 353:90-94 (1991). It is therefore believed that the RPLA.sub.2 -8 gene product could play a role during these processes.
As a preliminary study, the pattern of RPLA.sub.2 -8 gene expression, see TABLE III, is examined 5 by screening rat tissues with reverse transcription followed by PCR (RT-PCR), using primers pla8-1 and pla8-2. See FIG. 3.

In addition, to determine transcription patterns of RPLA.sub.2 -8 and RPLA.sub.2 -10, a Rat Multiple Northern Blot (Clontech, Inc.) is probed with a 489 bp fragment, i.e., RPLA.sub.2 -8 PCR probe, generated by PCR with primers RClo8-5' (bases 716-742) and Rclo8-3' (bases 1178-1205). A rat Multiple Northern Blot (Clontech, Inc.) is also probed with a 427 bp fragment, i.e., RPLA.sub.2 -10 PCR probe, and amplified using primers Rclo10-5' (bases 226-253) and Rclo10-3' (bases 627-653). As seen in TABLE II, an RPLA.sub.2 -8 mRNA is detected in testis only and an RPLA.sub.2 -10 mRNA is detected in heart and perhaps lung only.
In order to determine the exon-intron junction sites and confirm the 121 bp direct repeat sequence in the genomic DNA, a 15 kb rat genomic DNA clone containing RPLA.sub.2 -8 coding exon II is analyzed by Southern blot, and partial sequencing. The 15 kb genomic DNA structure is shown in FIG. 4. It does not contain exon I and the 5' 121 bp repeat, but it does contain the 3' 121 bp repeat. To further investigate the 5' rat genomic DNA sequence, a cosmid genomic DNA library (Clontech, Inc.) is screened using a PCR-generated fragment containing RPLA.sub.2 -8 exon I-intron I-exon II. Twelve positive clones are indentified. Restriction mapping indicates that all clones (about 40 kb each) are identical. Unfortunately, the cosmid clones could not contain the 5' 121 bp repeat because their 5' ends are located in intron I. Thus, RT-PCR is used to confirm the presence of the 5' 121 bp direct repeat sequence. Pla8-7, a 22 bp 5' primer starting at base 73, which lies within the 121 bp repeat sequence and pla8-8, a 22 bp 3' primer ending at base 212, see FIG. 3, are generated to conduct RT-PCR of rat brain total RNA. The resulting RT-PCR fragment is purified from the agrose gel and cloned into m13mp18, and the sequence is confirmed to be as predicted by the cDNA.
To test whether this PLA.sub.2 -8 gene encodes an active, secreted PLA.sub.2, an Epstein Barr virus-based expression vector (pCEP) is used to express the RPLA.sub.2 -8 cDNA in human 293s cells. pCEP contains two regions of the EBV genome required for episomal maintenance (EBNA-1 and OriP), a drug resistance gene for selection in human cells (hyg), bacterial sequences for maintenance in E. coli, a drug resistance gene for selection in E. coli (amp), and an expression cassette for the production of high levels of mRNA from an introduced sequence by using an Rous/Sarcoma virus long terminal repeat (RSV LTR) promoter and an Simian virus 40 (SV40) polyadenylation signal. pR8-3', a chimeric construct, is constructed as follows. RASF-5', a 5' primer beginning with a 10 nucleotide NheI linker followed by 22 nucleotides starting at base 130, and Ju9, a 22 nucleotide 3' primer complementary to base 177 and 198, see Seilhamer, J. et al.: J. Biol. Chem., 264:5335-5338 (1989), are used to PCR amplify plasmid pRASF from bases 130 to 198. pRASF contains the entire known PLA.sub.2 Type II cDNA. See Seilhamer, J. et al.: J. Biol. Chem., 264:5335-5338 (1989). The PCR product is purified and is digested with NheI plus NcoI. JuR8-11, a 5' primer with a total length of 31 nucleotides, beginning with GCCATGGGA followed by base 806 to 827 of RPLA.sub.2 -8 sequence, see FIG. 3, and R8-3', a 3' primer starting with a 10 nucleotide NheI linker at its 5' end, followed by 22 nucleotides complementary to RPLA.sub.2 -8 base 1178 to 1200, see FIG. 3, are used to PCR amplify plasmid RPLA.sub.2 -8. The PCR product is purified and digested with XhoI plus NcoI. Both digested PCR products are then ligated together into XhoI-NheI digested pCEP. Sequencing is carried out to confirm the nucleotide sequence of pR8-3'. CpR8-3' is a single clone of cells chosen to represent the typical pH optimum and Ca.sup.++ dependence of CpR8 transfected 293s cells. The effects of pH and calcium concentration on enzyme activity are illustrated in FIGS. 23 and 24, respectively, for the RPLA.sub.2 -8 enzyme (Type III) and are similar, but different to the pH and calcium profiles for the HPLA.sub.2 -10 enzyme (Type IV) encoded for by the HPLA.sub.2 -10 cDNA cloned into plasmid cPH10, as shown in FIGS. 25 and 26, respectively. In other words, RPLA.sub.2 -8 also appears to be a pH and calcium-dependent PLA.sub.2 enzyme having activity starting at about pH 5.5 and having significant activity at between about pH 7 and about pH 9 and having activity starting at about 0.1 mM Ca.sup.2+ and having significant activity at between about 0.3 mM and about 2 mM Ca.sup.2+, respectively. The activity of RPLA.sub.2 -8, however, apparently progressively declines at a pH of greater than about 9 and at a calcium concentration of greater than about 2 mM. Nonetheless, FIGS. 23-26 illustrate phsopholipase activity for the Type III and Type IV phospholipase enzymes of the present invention. Moreover, FIGS. 23-26 show that the pH and calcium profiles for the Type III and Type IV phospholipase enzymes of the present invention are different from the pH and calcium profiles for phospholipases known heretofore.
It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the novel PLA.sub.2 Type III and Type IV enzymes described in the instant application may have many different potential uses.
Although both "Type II" soluble PLA.sub.2 and intracellular membrane-associated PLA.sub.2 have been shown to mediate many aspects of the inflammatory cascade, it may well be that the new PLA.sub.2 enzymes may also play a role, either by directly functioning to liberate arachidonic acid and 2-lysophospholipid, or by replacing the functions of the former in tissues and/or individuals in which the enzymes may be otherwise missing. As such, inhibition of these new enzymes by standard strategies known in the art (e.g., crystallography-based rational drug design; antisense; triple helix; monoclonal antibodies) could be valuable in anti-inflammatory therapy.
Phospholipases A.sub.2 are involved in other processes vital to sustaining life in humans, including but not limited to pulmonary surfactant turnover, biomembrane maintenance and metabolism, various lipid catabolic pathways, platelet activation factor metabolism, and sperm-mediated egg activation. First, it is possible that certain diseases present today involve alterations in these functions, and could be treated therapeutically with exogenously added recombinant PLA.sub.2 or anti-PLA.sub.2. Second, as new PLA.sub.2 -inhibiting anti-inflammatory therapeutics are developed, many may exhibit cross-inhibition with these other new enzymes, thereby causing undesired side-effects. Both knowledge of the sequence/structure of these new enzymes, and the ability to restore their function through addition of the appropriate recombinant enzyme could be of value in reducing such side-effects.
Although these enzymes have been characterized as PLA.sub.2 enzymes, they may well have other vital enzymatic activities. For example, LCAT (lecithin-cholesterol acyl transferase) also exhibits PLA.sub.2 activity. Alternatively, these enzymes may function as phospholipases Al, phospholipases B, phospholipases C, lysophopholipases, acyl hydrolases, ribonucleases, lipases, or phosphodiesterases, all of which are esterases which resemble phospholipase A.sub.2 in chemical activity. If this is the case, these new enzymes could be used to treat defects in a variety of metabolic pathways.
PLA.sub.2 is also useful in the food processing industry. See Dutilh et al.: J. Sci. Food Agricul., 32:451-458 (1981), and in the preservation of fish, see Mazeaud et al.: J. Fish Res. Board Cun., 33:1297-1303 (1976). Recombinant forms of the instant new PLA.sub.2 s may be useful to replace natural sources of these enzymes.
RPLA.sub.2 -8, by virtue of its specific synthesis in rat testis, may play a key role in activation during fertilization by sperm. Therefore, antagonism of its function may prove useful as a specific anti-fertility reagent in pests such as rodents.
HPLA.sub.2 10 and RPLA.sub.2 -10, by virtue of their specific synthesis in cardiac tissue, may play a key role in cardiac lipid metabolism specific to cardiac tissue, and may indicate a specialized new function for this enzyme. A major component of heart tissue is cardiolipin, and Type IV phospholipase may mediate metabolism of this related diphospholipid in this organ. Therefore, recombinant forms of the new PLA.sub.2 s could prove useful in the treatment of disorders involving cardiac phospholipid metabolism.
In addition, the new PLA.sub.2 s have been mapped into a genetic locus known to be associated with Batten's disease (or Neuronal Ceroid Lipfuscinosis; NCL). Since the latter disorder has been shown to involve alterations in activity of certain phospholipases, see Dawson et al.: Advances in Experimental Medicine & Biology, 266:259-270 (1989), these new enzymes may be useful as a therapeutic to treat the former, and as a diagnostic to detect the presence of these genetic abnormalities so that proper counseling and early treatment of the disease would be possible.
Examples of various embodiments of the present invention will now be further illustrated with reference to the following Examples.

6.times.10.sup.5 clones from a human stomach cDNA phage library (Clontech, Inc.) and 5.times.10.sup.5 clones from a rat genomic DNA cosmid library (Clontech, Inc.) are screened according to the procedures provided by Clontech Inc.
A Human Multiple Northern Blot (Clontech, Inc.) is hybridized according to the manufacturer's directions.
293s cells (ATCC CRL 1573) are grown in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. Approximately 7.5.times.10.sup.5 cells are transfected with 10 .mu.g of purified supercoiled plasmid DNA from either pCH10 or PRASF to create cell lines of the type CpCH10-1D and CpRASF-2B, respectively, according to the methods of Kingston, R. E.: Calcium Phosphate Transfection in Current Protocols in Molecular Biology. ed. Frederick M. Ausubel et al., pp. 9.1.1-9.1.3 (1989). Twenty-four hours after transfection, 200 units per ml of hygromycin is added to the medium. Stably-transfected, hygromycin-resistant colonies are selected ten days after transfection and are maintained in DMEM containing 200 units per ml of hygromycin. To test for PLA.sub.2 activity, 2.0.times.10.sup.6 cells are plated in a 25 cm.sup.2 flask and medium is collected 24, 48 and 72 hours after plating.
Autoclaved [1-.sup.14 C] oleic acid-labeled Escherichia coli (E. coli) JM109 is prepared according to the methods described by Elsbach, P. et al.: Methods in Enzymoloqy, 97:24-31 (1991) for use as a PLA.sub.2 substrate. Briefly, 20 .mu.l medium is incubated for 15 minutes at 37.degree. C. with E. coli substrate (a mix of 2.5.times.10.sup.8 labeled and unlabeled bacteria to provide 10,000 cpm) in a total volume of 250 .mu.l (40 mM Tris/HCl, pH 7.8, 150 mM NaCl, 10 mM Ca.sup.2+). The reaction is stopped by the addition of 250 .mu.l ice cold 0.5% (W/V) fatty acid-poor BSA (USB). After incubation on ice for 5 minutes, the samples are centrifuged at 10,000.times.g for 3 minutes and 250 .mu.l of the supernatant containing released (1-.sup.14 C]oleic acid is counted in a scintillation counter.
The pH optimum for human Type IV PLA.sub.2 enzyme activity is determined using 20 .mu.l of medium diluted to produce approximately 10% substrate hydrolysis. Sodium acetate buffer (final concentration 25 mM) is used for the pH range 4-6.5 and Tris/HCl buffer (final concentration 25 mM) for the pH range 7-9. See FIG. 25.
The calcium dependence of the human Type IV enzyme activity is examined in the calcium concentration range 0-400 mM. The buffer solution (Tris/HCl, pH 7.5, final concentration 25 mM) is prepared with doubly distilled, deionized water which contained a minimal amount of metal ions. EDTA (300 mcM) is added to the assay mixture in order to chelate the residual calcium. 20 .mu.l of medium is diluted to produce 10% substrate hydrolysis. See FIG. 26.

E.: Calcium Phosphate Transfection in Current Protocols in Molecular Biology. ed. Frederick M. Ausubel et al., pp. 9.1.1-9.1.3 (1989). Twenty-four hours after transfection, 200 units per ml of hygromycin is added to the medium. Stably-transfected, hygromycin-resistant colonies are selected ten days after transfection and are maintained in DMEM containing 200 units per ml of hygromycin. To test for PLA.sub.2 activity, 2.0.times.10.sup.6 cells are plated in a 25 cm.sup.2 flask and medium is collected 24, 48 and 72 hours after plating.
Autoclaved [1-.sup.14 C] oleic acid-labeled Escherichia coli (E. coli) JM109 is prepared according to the methods described by Elsbach, P. et al.: Methods in Enzymology, 97:24-31 (1991) for use as a PLA.sub.2 substrate. Briefly, 20 .mu.l medium is incubated for 15 minutes at 37.degree. C. with E. coli substrate (a mix of 2.5.times.10.sup.8 labeled and unlabeled bacteria to provide 10,000 cpm) in a total volume of 250 .mu.l (40 mM Tris/HCl, pH 7.8, 150 mM NaCl, 10 mM Ca.sup.2+). The reaction is stopped by the addition of 250 .mu.l ice cold 0.5% (W/V) fatty acid-poor BSA (USB). After incubation on ice for 5 minutes, the samples are centrifuged at 10,000.times.g for 3 minutes and 250 .mu.l of the supernatant containing released (1-.sup.14 C]oleic acid is counted in a scintillation counter.
The pH optimum for human Type III PLA.sub.2 enzyme activity is determined using 20 .mu.l of medium diluted to produce approximately 10% substrate hydrolysis. Sodium acetate buffer (final concentration 25 mM) is used for the pH range 4-6.5 and Tris/HCl buffer (final concentration 25 mM) for the pH range 7-9. See FIG. 23.
The calcium dependence of the human Type III enzyme activity is examined in the calcium concentration range 0-400 mM. The buffer solution (Tris/HCl, pH 7.5, final concentration 25 mM) is prepared with doubly distilled, deionized water which contained a minimal amount of metal ions. EDTA (300 mcM) is added to the assay mixture in order to chelate the residual calcium. 20 .mu.l of medium is diluted to produce 10% substrate hydrolysis. See FIG. 24.
EXAMPLE III
PLA.sub.2 Activity
7.5.times.10.sup.5 293s cells are transfected with 10 .mu.g of supercoiled plasmid DNA according to the method of Kingston, R. E.: Calcium Phosphate Transfection in Current Protocols in Molecular Biology. ed. Frederick M. Ausubel et al., pp. 9.1.1-9.1.3 (1989). Hygromycin-resistant colonies are selected 10 days after transfection and are maintained in DMEM containing 200 units of hygromycin. CpCH10-1B, CpCH10-1C, CpCH10-1D and CpCH10-2G are independent, hygromycin-resistant cell lines transfected with pCH10, a plasmid containing the human Type IV PLA.sub.2 cDNA; CpRASF-2B is a hygromycin-resistant cell line transfected with pMCH6, a plasmid containing the known Type II PLA.sub.2 gene. CpR8-3' is a hygromycin-resistant cell line transfected with pR8-3', a plasmid containing the rat Type III PLA.sub.2 cDNA. These cell lines are tested two months after their stable transfection. Each has been maintained and subcloned in hygromycin-containing medium. For this experiment, exponentially growing cells are plated at 4.times.10.sup.5 cells per ml. Medium samples are taken 24, 48 and 72 hours after plating. 20 .mu.l of each medium sample is assayed under standard conditions, see Elsbach, P. et al.: Methods in Enzymology, 197:24-31 (1991) for PLA.sub.2 activity. Activity is expressed as a fraction of autoclaved [1-.sup.14 C]oleic acid labeled E. coli Y1090 incubated alone. See FIG. 21.
EXAMPLE IV
Searching for Human cDNA and Genomic DNA Secquences homologous to RPLA.sub.2 -8
Two primers, clo8-4 and clo8-5, synthesized according the published human h8 presumptive exon II sequence, Seilhamer, J. J.: J. of Cellular Biochemistry, 39:327-329 (1989), are used in a PCR amplification screen of human child brain, adult brain, liver, heart, and various white cell cDNA libraries. No PCR amplification is obtained from any of them. Two overlapping human genomic DNA clones, clone 8 and walk 9, containing 10 kb of DNA 5' of h8 exon II and 16 kb of DNA 3' of h8 exon II, respectively, are then analyzed. Southern blot analysis using the PCR fragment containing the RPLA.sub.2 -8 open reading frame DNA sequence as a probe identified two EcoRI fragments, one in clone 8 and one in walk 9. These two fragments are subcloned into pUC19 and sequenced. DNA sequence homology between these sequences and the RPLA.sub.2 -8 cDNA indicated that one fragment contains a region homologous to RPLA.sub.2 -8 exons I and II, and that the other fragment contains a region homologous to RPLA.sub.2 -8 exon IV. See FIG. 16. In order to search for exon III of a human RPLA.sub.2 -8 homologue, the entire region between exon II and exon IV is sequenced. No region homologous to RPLA.sub.2 -8 coding exon III is found by computer analysis of this sequence. To determine if the HPLA.sub.2 -8 sequence is transcribed, two primers, one in coding exon II and one in exon IV, are used to do RT-PCR of human brain and lymphoblast total RNA. No PCR amplification signal is obtained.

Phospholipase A.sub.2 Assay using Auto-claved Labeled Bacterium as a Substrate
Autoclaved [1-.sup.14 C]oleic acid-labeled E.coli 1-.sup.14 C 109 is prepared according to the methods described by Elsbach: P. et al.: Methods in Enzymology, 197:24-31 (1991) for use as the PLA.sub.2 substrate. Commercial porcine pancreatic PLA.sub.2 (Sigma) is used for the standand assay. Simply, the serialy diluted PLA.sub.2 solutions are incubated for 15 minutes at 37.degree. C. with E.coli substrate (a mix of 2.5.times.10.sup.8 labeled and unlabled bacteria to provide 10,000 cpm) in a total volume of 250 ul (40mM Tris/HCl, pH 7.8, 10 mM Ca.sup.+2). The reaction is stopped by the addition of 250 ul ice cold 0.5% (W/V) fatty acid-poor BSA (USB). After incubatation on ice for 5 minutes, the samples are centrifuged at 10,000.times.g for 2 minutes, and 250 .mu.l of the supernatant containing released [.sup.1-1.sup.4 C]oleic acid is counted in a scintillation counter.
