General Information

General Information Comment Organism
additional information establishing enzyme activity in lipid vesicles, method development, overview. Both lipase activities are sensitive to vesicle size, but in opposite ways: while phospholipase C is higher with larger vesicles, sphingomyelinase activity is lower Clostridium perfringens
physiological function alpha-toxin, a major determinant of Clostridium perfringens toxicity, exhibits both phospholipase C and sphingomyelinase, EC 3.1.4.12, activities with distinct, but partially overlapping and interacting active sites Clostridium perfringens
physiological function the lipase activity serves the bacteriumto generate lipid signals in the host eukaryotic cell, and ultimately to degrade the host cellmembranes, and is the main virulence factor for gas gangrene in humans Clostridium perfringens
