Recently, the cloning of a novel Ca2+-independent phospholipase A(2) (iPLA(2)) from Chinese hamster ovary cells as well as from mouse and rat sources containing a C-terminal lipase motif and eight N-terminal ankyrin repeats has been described. In this report we describe the cloning of the human iPLA(2) cDNA and its expression in B-cells and show that the iPLA(2) gene undergoes extensive alternative splicing generating multiple isoforms that contribute to a novel mechanism to control iPLA(2) activity. The full-length cDNA clone encodes a 806-amino acid protein with a calculated molecular mass of 88 kDa, The protein contains a lipase motif, GXSXG, and ankyrin repeats, as described for the hamster and rodent forms of the enzyme but has an additional 54-amino acid proline rich insertion in the last of the eight ankyrin repeats (residues 395-449). Furthermore, at least three additional isoforms most likely due to alternative splicing were identified. One that is present as a partial cDNA in the expressed sequence tag data base is similar to iPLA(2) but terminates just after the lipase active site, and two other-isoforms contain only the iPLA(2) ankyrin repeat sequence (ankyrin-iPLA(2)-1 and -2), Ankyrin repeats are involved in protein-protein interactions and because the purified iPLA(2) enzyme exists as a multimeric complex of 270-350 kDa, the expression of just the ankyrin-iPLA(2) sequence suggested that these may also interact with the iPLA(2) oligomeric complexes and perhaps modulate PLA(2) activity. Transfection of the human iPLA(2) cDNA into COS cells resulted in a substantial increase in calcium-independent PLA(2) activity in cell lysate, No activity above background was observed following ankyrin-iPLA(2)-1 cDNA transfection. However, co-transfection of the ankyrin-iPLA(2)-1 and the iPLA(2) cDNAs resulted in a 2-fold reduction in activity compared with iPLA(2) alone, A similar co-transfection of ankyrin-iPLA(2)-1 cDNA with the cPLA(2) cDNA had no effect on PLA(2) activity, These results suggest that the ankyrin-iPLA(2) sequence can function as a negative regulator of iPLA(2) activity and that the alternative splicing of the iPLA(2) gene can have a direct effect on the attenuation of enzyme activity.
