Previously, ceramide-1-phosphate (C1P) was demonstrated to be a potent and specific activator of group IV cytosolic phospholipase A2
(cPLA2
) via interaction with the C2 domain. In this study, we hypothesized that the specific interaction site for C1P was localized to the cationic
-groove (Arg57, Lys58, Arg59) of the C2 domain of cPLA2
. In this regard, mutants of this region of cPLA2
were generated (R57A/K58A/R59A, R57A/R59A, K58A/R59A, R57A/K58A, R57A, K58A, and R59A) and examined for C1P affinity by surface plasmon resonance. The triple mutants (R57A/K58A/R59A), the double mutants (R57A/R59A, K58A/R59A, and R57A/K58A), and the single mutant (R59A) demonstrated significantly reduced affinity for C1P-containing vesicles as compared with wild-type cPLA2
. Examining these mutants for enzymatic activity demonstrated that these five mutants of cPLA2
also showed a significant reduction in the ability of C1P to: 1) increase the Vmax of the reaction; and 2) significantly decrease the dissociation constant (K As) of the reaction as compared with the wild-type enzyme. The mutational effect was specific for C1P as all of the cationic mutants of cPLA2
demonstrated normal basal activity as well as normal affinities for phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate as compared with wild-type cPLA2
. This study, for the first time, demonstrates a novel C1P interaction site mapped to the cationic
-groove of the C2 domain of cPLA2
.
