Several publications have described biological roles for human patatin-like phospholipases (PNPLA) in the regulation of adipocyte differentiation. Here we report on the characterisation and expression profiling of ten human patatin-like phospholipases. A variety of Bioinformatics approaches were used to identify and characterise all patatin-like phospholipases encoded by the human genome. The genes described represent a divergent family, most with a highly conserved orthologue in several mammalian species. In silico characterisation predicts that two of the genes function as integral membrane proteins and are regulated by cAMP/cGMP. A structurally-guided protein alignment of the patatin-like domain identifies a number of conserved residues in all family members. Quantitative PCR was utilised to determine the expression profile of each family member. Affymetrix-based profiling of a human pre-adipocyte cell line identified several members that are differentially regulated during cell differentiation. Cumulative data suggests that patatin-like genes normally expressed at very low levels are induced in response to environmental signals. Given the observed conservation of the patatin fold and lipase motif in all human patatin-like phospholipases, a single nomenclature to describe a PNPLA family is proposed.
