We recently identified a cytosolic phospholipase A(1) activity in bovine brain and testis that preferentially hydrolyzes phosphatidic acid substrates. We also showed that the enzyme displays sigmoidal kinetics toward phosphatidic acid substrates in a Triton X-100 mixed micelle assay system (Higgs, H. N., and Glomset, J. A. (1994) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 91, 9574-9578), In the present work we purified the bovine testis enzyme 14,000 fold and used a combination of size exclusion chromatography, labeling with the phospholipase A inhibitor, methyl arachidonyl fluorophosphonate, and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to provide evidence that it is a homotetramer of 110-kDa subunits. Studies of the molecular basis of the enzyme reaction in Triton micelles revealed that (a) a nonhydrolyzable sn-1-alkyl-2-oleoyl analogue of phosphatidic acid activated the enzyme 30-fold in a sigmoidal fashion (Hill coefficient 3.2, EC(50) 4 mol %) without substantially affecting its preference for specific diacyl phosphoglyceride substrates, (b) the activator promoted tight binding of the enzyme to micelles, and (c) the enzyme's activity toward unsaturated phosphatidic acid substrates was affected by the location and nature of the fatty acyl chain double bonds.
