Abstract
The factors regulating the activity of cellular phospholipase D (PLD) have been well characterized; however, the cellular distribution of specific PLD isoforms and the factors defining localization are less clear. Two specific PLD1 isoforms, PLD1a and PLD1b, are shown in the present study to be localized in endosomal compartments with early endosomal autoantigen 1, internalizing epidermal growth factor receptor (ErbB1) and lysobisphosphatidic acid. Novel C-terminal splice variants of PLD1, PLD1a2 and PLD1b2, do not exhibit this endosomal localization. Studies using catalytically inactive and C-terminal deletion mutants of the four PLD1 isoforms led to the conclusion that the C-terminus plays an important part in the catalytic activity of PLD1, but that the endosomal localization of PLD1a and PLD1b is defined by the C-terminus and not catalytic activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment of many cell types with phorbol esters stimulates phospholipase D (PLD) activity implying regulation of the enzyme by protein kinase C. Studies of the effects of several protein-tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitors have suggested that PTK(s) play some roles in the phorbol ester-induced PLD activation, but it remains unclear how and which PTK(s) is involved in this pathway. In this study, we investigated the roles of Syk and other PTKs for the phorbol esters, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA)-induced PLD activation in K562 and DT40 cells. RESULTS TPA-induced PLD activation was remarkably reduced in both Syk dominant negative mutant K562 cells and Syk deficient DT40 B cells. Mutational analysis further indicated that two major autophosphorylation sites (Tyr-518 and Tyr-519) of Syk are critical for PLD activation. Similarly, TPA-induced PLD activation was reduced in Btk deficient cells, but unaffected in Lyn deficient cells. Finally, in cells deficient in the PLC-gamma2, one of the phosphorylated substrates regulated by Syk and Btk, TPA-induced PLD activation, as well as phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) hydrolysis was remarkably reduced. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated that the Syk, Btk and PLC-gamma2 pathways are required for TPA-induced PLD activation in DT40 cells.

Abstract
Rat brain phospholipase D1 (rPLD1) has two highly conserved motifs (HXKX(4)D), denoted HKD, located in the N- and C-terminal halves, which are required for phospholipase D activity. The two halves of rPLD1 can associate in vivo, and the association is essential for catalytic activity and Ser/Thr phosphorylation of the enzyme. In this study, we found that this association is also required for palmitoylation of rPLD1, which occurs on cysteines 240 and 241. In addition, palmitoylation of rPLD1 requires the N-terminal sequence but not the conserved C-terminal sequence, since rPLD1 that lacks the first 168 amino acids is not palmitoylated in vivo, while the inactive C-terminal deletion mutant is. Palmitoylation of rPLD1 is not necessary for catalytic activity, since N-terminal truncation mutants lacking the first 168 or 319 amino acids exhibit high basal activity although they cannot be stimulated by protein kinase C (PKC). The lack of response to PKC is not due to the lack of palmitoylation, since mutation of both Cys(240) and Cys(241) to alanine in full-length rPLD1 abolishes palmitoylation, but the mutant still retains basal activity and responds to PKC. Palmitoylation-deficient rPLD1 can associate with crude membranes; however, the association is weakened. Wild type rPLD1 remains membrane-associated when extracted with 1 m NaCl or Na(2)CO(3) (pH 11), while rPLD1 mutants that lack palmitoylation are partially released. In addition, we found that palmitoylation-deficient mutants are much less modified by Ser/Thr phosphorylation compared with wild type rPLD1. Characterization of the other cysteine mutations of rPLD1 showed that mutation of cysteine 310 or 612 to alanine increased basal phospholipase D activity 2- and 4-fold, respectively. In summary, palmitoylation of rPLD1 requires interdomain association and the presence of the N-terminal 168 amino acids. Mutations of cysteines 240 and 241 to alanine abolish the extensive Ser/Thr phosphorylation of the enzyme and weaken its association with membranes.

Abstract
The activity of phospholipase D (PLD) is regulated by a variety of hormonal stimuli and provides a mechanistic pathway for response of cells to extracellular stimuli. The two identified mammalian PLD enzymes possess highly homologous C termini, which are required for catalytic activity. Mutational analysis of PLD1 and PLD2 reveals that modification of as little as the C-terminal threonine or the addition of a single alanine attenuates activity of the enzyme. Protein folding appears to be intact because mutant enzymes express to similar levels in Sf9 cells and addition of peptides representing the C-terminal amino acids, including the simple hexamer PMEVWT, restores partial activity to several of the mutants. Analysis of several mutants suggests a requirement for the hydrophobic reside at the -2-position but not an absolute requirement for the hydroxyl side chain of threonine at the C terminus. The inability of peptides amidated at their C termini to effect restoration of activity indicates the involvement of the C-terminal alpha carboxyl group in functional activity of these enzymes. The ability of peptides to restore activity to PLD enzymes mutated at the C terminus suggests a flexible interaction of this portion of the molecule with a catalytic core constructed on conserved HKD motifs. Participation of these C termini residues in either stabilization of the catalytic site or the enzymatic reaction itself remains to be determined. This requirement for the C terminus provides an excellent potential site for interaction with regulatory proteins that may either enhance or down-regulate the activity of these enzymes in vitro.

Abstract
In human neutrophils, the activation of phospholipase D and the Tyr phosphorylation of proteins are early signaling events upon cell stimulation. We found that the pretreatment of neutrophils with ethanol (0.8%) or 1-butanol (0.3%), which results in the accumulation of phosphatidylalcohol at the expense of phosphatidic acid (PA), decreased the phorbol myristate acetate-stimulated Tyr phosphorylation of endogenous proteins (42, 115 kDa). When neutrophil cytosol was incubated in the presence or absence of PA, these and other endogenous proteins became Tyr-phosphorylated in a PA-dependent manner. In contrast, phosphatidylalcohols exhibited only 25% (phosphatidylethanol) or 5% (phosphatidylbutanol) of the ability of PA to stimulate Tyr phosphorylation in the cell-free assay. Similarly, other phospholipids (phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylinositol, polyphosphoinositides, and sphingosine 1-phosphate) showed little ability to stimulate Tyr phosphorylation. These data suggest that PA can function as an intracellular regulator of Tyr phosphorylating activity. Gel filtration chromatography of leukocyte cytosol revealed a peak of PA-dependent Tyr phosphorylating activity distinct from a previously described PA-dependent phosphorylating activity (Waite, K. A., Wallin, R., Qualliotine-Mann, D., and McPhail, L. C. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 15569-15578). Among the protein Tyr kinases expressed in neutrophils, only Fgr eluted exclusively in the peak of PA-dependent Tyr phosphorylating activity. Importantly, Fgr isolated from unstimulated neutrophil lysates showed increased activity in the presence of PA but not phosphatidylbutanol. Moreover, the pretreatment of neutrophils with 1-butanol decreased Fgr activity in cells stimulated with formyl-methionyl-leucyl phenylalanine plus dihydrocytochalasin B. Together, these results suggest a new second messenger role for PA in the regulation of Tyr phosphorylation.

Abstract
Treatment of [3H]-choline- or [14C]-ethanolamine-labelled undifferentiated bipolar and differentiated multipolar CG-4 line oligodendrocytes with 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) to activate protein kinase C stimulated the release of choline or ethanolamine metabolites to the medium over controls. Ro31-8220, a PKC inhibitor, reduced TPA-stimulated release of choline- and ethanolamine-metabolites to basal levels. TPA treatment of both bipolar and multipolar cells caused rapid contraction of processes leaving rounded up cells: this effect was blocked by Ro31-8220. After 12-15 h exposure to TPA, bipolar undifferentiated CG-4 line cells extended short processes again and the cells became multipolar. Nocodozole, an agent which disrupts microtubules and caused CG-4 line cells to round up, caused increased choline or ethanolamine-metabolite release to the medium over basal levels suggesting that some release during TPA-treatment might occur due to process fragmentation. However, the transphosphatidylation reaction confirmed that phospholipase D was active in these cells. Exposure of bipolar undifferentiated CG-4 line cells to TPA resulted in down-regulatation of PKC-alpha and PKC-beta which could not be detected by Western blotting after a few hours; PKC-epsilon was down-regulated much more slowly but PKCs delta, zeta and iota were not influenced by 48 h exposure of cells to TPA. Formation of phosphatidylethanol in the transphosphatidylation reaction was markedly reduced in TPA down-regulated cells indicating a role for PKCs alpha and beta in phospholipase D activation in CG-4 line oligodendrocytes.

Abstract
Rat brain phospholipase D1 (rPLD1) has two highly conserved motifs [H(X)K(X)4D, denoted HKD] located at the N-terminal and C-terminal halves, which are required for activity. Association of the two halves is essential for rPLD1 activity, which probably brings the two HKD domains together to form a catalytic center. In the present study, we find that an intact C-terminus is also essential for the catalytic activity of rPLD1. Serial deletion of the last four amino acids, EVWT, which are conserved in all mammalian PLD isoforms, abolished the catalytic activity of rPLD1. This loss of catalytic activity was not due to a lack of association of the N-terminal and C-terminal halves. Mutations of the last three amino acids showed that substitutions with charged or less hydrophobic amino acids all reduced PLD activity. For example, mutations of Thr1036 and Val1034 to Asp or Lys caused marked inactivation, whereas mutation to other amino acids had less effect. Mutation of Trp1035 to Leu, Ala, His or Tyr caused complete inactivation, whereas mutation of Glu1033 to Ala enhanced activity. The size of the amino acids at the C-terminus also affected the catalytic activity of PLD, reduced activity being observed with conservative mutations within the EVWT sequence (such as T/S, V/L or W/F). The enzyme was also inactivated by the addition of Ala or Val to the C-terminus of this sequence. Interestingly, the inactive C-terminal mutants could be complemented by cotransfection with a wild-type C-terminal half to restore PLD activity in vivo. These data demonstrate that the integrity of the C-terminus of rPLD1 is essential for its catalytic activity. Important features are the hydrophobicity, charge and size of the four conserved C-terminal amino acids. It is proposed that these play important roles in maintaining a functional catalytic structure by interacting with a specific domain within rPLD1.

Abstract
Both protein kinase C and protein tyrosine kinases have been shown to be involved in phospholipase D (PLD) activation in intact rat myometrium [Le Stunff, Dokhac and Harbon (2000) J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 292, 629-637]. In this study we assessed the involvement of monomeric G-proteins in PLD activation in a cell-free system derived from myometrial tissue. Both the PLD1 and PLD2 isoforms were detected. Two forms of PLD activity, essentially membrane-bound, were found in myometrial preparations. One form was stimulated by oleate and insensitive to guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio] triphosphate (GTP[S]). The second required ammonium sulphate to be detected and was stimulated by GTP[S]. ADP-ribosylation factors (ARF1 and ARF6) and RhoA were immunodetected in myometrial preparations. ARF1 and RhoA were present in the membrane and cytosolic fractions whereas ARF6 was detected exclusively in the membrane fraction. A synthetic myristoylated peptide corresponding to the N-terminal domain of ARF6 [myrARF6((2-13))] totally abolished PLD activation in the presence of ammonium sulphate and GTP[S], whereas myrARF1((2-17)) and the inhibitory GDP/GTP-exchange factor, Rho GDI, did not. These data are consistent with a membrane-bound ARF6-regulated PLD activity. Finally, the stimulation of PLD by ARF6 was inhibited by AlF(-)(4) and this inhibition was counteracted by the fusion protein glutathione S-transferase-beta-adrenergic receptor kinase 1 (495-689) and by the QEHA peptide (from adenylate cyclase ACII), which act as G-protein betagamma-subunit scavengers. It is concluded that G-protein subunits betagamma are involved in a pathway modulating PLD activation by ARF6, illustrating cross-talk between heterotrimeric and monomeric G-proteins.

Abstract
We previously demonstrated that TSH activates phospholipase D (PLD) in Fischer rat thyroid line (FRTL)-5 cells. To date, two types of mammalian phosphatidylcholine-specific PLD cDNAs, designated as PLD-1 and PLD-2, have been cloned. The present study determined the PLD isoform composition in FRTL-5 thyroid cells and which isoform is regulated by TSH. PLD-1 is activated by small molecular weight G-proteins, such as ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) and RhoA family members, while PLD-2 is relatively independent of such stimuli. We established the presence of PLD-1 and PLD-2 by Western blot analysis and compared PLD activity in cytosol, membranes and combined fractions in the presence and absence of GTPgammaS. The membrane fraction showed very little activity in the absence of GTPgammaS, but this activity increased approximately 5-fold (P<0.05, ANOVA) in the presence of GTPgammaS. Maximal PLD activity was seen with the combination of membrane plus cytosolic fractions (which contained ARF and RhoA) where the addition of GTPgammaS increased PLD activity approximately 8-fold (P<0.05, ANOVA). To determine the relative activities of PLD-1 and PLD-2 in FRTL-5 thyroid cells, cell-free PLD assays were performed in the presence of GTPgammaS or GDPbetaS with varying concentrations of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)). PLD-2 contributed only approximately 19% of the total amount of PLD activity in the membranes and PLD-1 was the predominant PLD isoform. TSH stimulated PLD-1 activity by up to 2. 3-fold over control values (P<0.01, ANOVA). To establish the dependence of PLD-1 on small molecular weight G-proteins, the translocations of ARF and RhoA to the membrane fractions was determined after stimulation by TSH. Both ARF and RhoA were maximally translocated to the membrane fraction after 10 min incubation with 100 microU/ml TSH by approximately 1.7- and 2.3-fold over control values, respectively (P<0.02 and P<0.03, ANOVA). It is concluded that TSH stimulates PLD-1 activity in FRTL-5 thyroid cells and this is accompanied by the translocation of ARF and RhoA to the membrane fraction.

Abstract
Rat brain phospholipase D1 (rPLD1) belongs to a superfamily defined by the highly conserved catalytic motif (H(X)K(X)(4)D, denoted HKD. rPLD1 contains two HKD domains, located in the N- and C-terminal regions. The integrity of the two HKD domains is essential for enzymatic activity. Our previous studies showed that the N-terminal half of rPLD1 containing one HKD motif can associate with the C-terminal half containing the other HKD domain to reconstruct wild type PLD activity (Xie, Z., Ho, W.-T. and Exton, J. H. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 34679-34682). In the present study, we have shown by mutagenesis that conserved amino acids in the HKD domains are important for both the catalytic activity and the association between the two halves of rPLD1. Furthermore, we found that rPLD1 could be modified by Ser/Thr phosphorylation. The modification occurred at the N-terminal half of the enzyme, however, the association of the N-terminal domain with the C-terminal domain was required for the modification. The phosphorylation of the enzyme was not required for its catalytic activity or response to PKCalpha and small G proteins in vitro, although the phosphorylated form of rPLD1 was localized exclusively in the crude membrane fraction. In addition, we found that the individually expressed N- and C-terminal fragments did not interact when mixed in vitro and were unable to reconstruct PLD activity under these conditions. It is concluded that the association of the N- and C-terminal halves of rPLD1 requires their co-expression in vivo and depends on conserved residues in the HKD domains. The association is also required for Ser/Thr phosphorylation of the enzyme.

Abstract
Myocardial phospholipase D (PLD) has been implicated in the regulation of Ca(2+) mobilization and contractile performance in the heart. However, the molecular identity of this myocardial PLD and the mechanisms that regulate it are not well understood. Using subcellular fractionation and Western blot analysis, we found that PLD2 is the major myocardial PLD and that it localizes primarily to sarcolemmal membranes. A 100-kDa PLD2-interacting cardiac protein was detected using a protein overlay assay employing purified PLD2 and then identified as alpha-actinin using peptide-mass fingerprinting with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectroscopy. The direct association between PLD2 and alpha-actinin was confirmed using an in vitro binding assay and localized to PLD2's N-terminal 185 amino acids. Purified alpha-actinin potently inhibits PLD2 activity (IC(50) = 80 nm) in an interaction-dependent and ADP-ribosylation factor-reversible manner. Finally, alpha-actinin co-localizes with actin and with PLD2 in the detergent-insoluble fraction from sarcolemmal membranes. These results suggest that PLD2 is reciprocally regulated in sarcolemmal membranes by alpha-actinin and ARF1 and accordingly that a major role for PLD2 in cardiac function may involve reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton.

Abstract
While conducting a purification protocol of phospholipase D (PLD) from human granulocytes, we observed that PLD activity was inhibited by a commonly-used protease inhibitor cocktail. Of the six inhibitors present in the cocktail, the serine protease inhibitor, 4-(2-aminoethyl)-benezensulfonyl fluoride (AEBSF), was found to be the sole inhibitor of PLD. AEBSF caused a loss of neutrophil and purified plant PLD activities in vitro, but not in intact cells at the concentrations used, nor did it affect the related phospholipases A(2) and C, that were utilized as specificity controls. The compound AEBSNH(2), which has the fluoride replaced by an -NH(2) group, failed to affect PLD activity as did other compounds structurally related to AEBSF with known protease inhibitory capabilities. Finally, basal- and agonist-stimulated PLD activity was inhibited in phosphatidylcholine-specific anti-PLD immunoprecipitates (IC(50) = 75 microM). These results suggest that AEBSF, in an effect probably unrelated to its anti-proteolytic ability, directly interferes with PLD enzymatic activity, making it a significant compound to begin analyzing the role of PLD in mammalian cell signaling.

Abstract
A flow cytometric procedure was used to follow the effect of bicarbonate, a key inducer of sperm capacitation in vitro, on the transbilayer behavior of C6NBD-phospholipids in the plasma membrane of living acrosome-intact boar spermatozoa under physiological conditions. In the absence of bicarbonate, 97% of C6NBD-phosphatidylserine and 78% of C6NBD-phosphatidylethanolamine was rapidly translocated from the outer leaflet to the inner, whereas relatively little C6NBD-phosphatidylcholine and C6NBD-sphingomyelin was translocated (15% and 5%, respectively). Inclusion of 15 mM bicarbonate/5%CO(2) markedly slowed down the rates of translocation of the aminophospholipids without altering their final distribution, whereas it increased the proportions of C6NBD-phosphatidylcholine and C6NBD-sphingomyelin translocated (30% and 20%, respectively). Bicarbonate activated very markedly the outward translocation of all four phospholipid classes. The changes in C6NBD-phospholipid behavior were accompanied by increased membrane lipid disorder as detected by merocyanine 540, and also by increased potential for phospholipase catabolism of the C6NBD-phospholipid probes. All three changes were mediated via a cAMP-dependent protein phosphorylation pathway. We suspect that the changes result from an activation of the non- specific bidirectional translocase ('scramblase'). They have important implications with respect to sperm fertilizing function.

Abstract
Based on recent studies showing that phospholipase D (PLD)1 is associated with intracellular membranes and promotes membrane budding from the trans-Golgi, we tested its possible role in the membrane trafficking of GLUT4 glucose transporters. Using immunofluorescence confocal microscopy, expressed Myc epitope-tagged PLD1 was found to associate with intracellular vesicular structures by a mechanism that requires its N-terminal pleckstrin homology domain. Partial co-localization with expressed GLUT4 fused to green fluorescent protein in both 3T3-L1 adipocytes and Chinese hamster ovary cells was evident. Furthermore, microinjection of purified PLD into cultured adipocytes markedly potentiated the effect of a submaximal concentration of insulin to stimulate GLUT4 translocation to cell surface membranes. Insulin stimulated PLD activity in cells expressing high levels of insulin receptors but no such insulin effect was detected in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Taken together, these results are consistent with the hypothesis that PLD1 associated with GLUT4-containing membranes acts in a constitutive manner to promote the mechanism of GLUT4 translocation by insulin.

Abstract
Phospholipase D has been implicated in membrane traffic in the secretory pathway of yeast and of some mammalian cell lines. Here we investigated the involvement of phospholipase D in protein transport at various steps of the secretory pathway of mammary epithelial cells. Treatment of rabbit mammary explants with butanol, which blocks the formation of phosphatidic acid, decreased the secretion of caseins and to a lesser extent that of whey acidic protein. Butanol interfered with both the endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi complex transport of the caseins and secretory vesicle formation from the trans-Golgi network. In contrast, the transport of whey acidic protein to the Golgi was less affected. Activation of protein kinase C enhanced the overall secretion of both markers and interestingly, this stimulation of secretion was maintained for whey acidic protein in the presence of butanol. Transphosphatidylation assays demonstrated the existence of a constitutive phospholipase D activity which was stimulated by the activation of protein kinase C. We conclude that phospholipase D plays a role in casein transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi and in the secretory vesicle formation from the trans-Golgi network. Moreover, our results suggest a differential requirement for phospholipase D in the secretion of caseins and that of whey acidic protein.
