Exp Mol Med 2024; 56:1479-1487. [PMID: 38945955 PMCID: PMC11297275 DOI: 10.1038/s12276-024-01260-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2023] [Revised: 03/04/2024] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/02/2024] Open
Abstract
The development of chemoresistance is a major challenge in the treatment of several types of cancers in clinical settings. Stemness and chemoresistance are the chief causes of poor clinical outcomes. In this context, we hypothesized that understanding the signaling pathways responsible for chemoresistance in cancers is crucial for the development of novel targeted therapies to overcome drug resistance. Among the aberrantly activated pathways, the PI3K-Akt/Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is clinically implicated in malignancies such as colorectal cancer (CRC) and glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Aberrant dysregulation of phospholipase D (PLD) has been implicated in several malignancies, and oncogenic activation of this pathway facilitates tumor proliferation, stemness, and chemoresistance. Crosstalk involving the PLD and Wnt/β-catenin pathways promotes the progression of CRC and GBM and reduces the sensitivity of cancer cells to standard therapies. Notably, both pathways are tightly regulated and connected at multiple levels by upstream and downstream effectors. Thus, gaining deeper insights into the interactions between these pathways would help researchers discover unique therapeutic targets for the management of drug-resistant cancers. Here, we review the molecular mechanisms by which PLD signaling stimulates stemness and chemoresistance in CRC and GBM. Thus, the current review aims to address the importance of PLD as a central player coordinating cross-talk between the PI3K/Akt and Wnt/β-catenin pathways and proposes the possibility of targeting these pathways to improve cancer therapy and overcome drug resistance.

Structural and mechanistic insights into disease-associated endolysosomal exonucleases PLD3 and PLD4. Structure 2024; 32:766-779.e7. [PMID: 38537643 PMCID: PMC11162324 DOI: 10.1016/j.str.2024.02.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 02/12/2024] [Accepted: 02/29/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024]
Abstract
Endolysosomal exonucleases PLD3 and PLD4 (phospholipases D3 and D4) are associated with autoinflammatory and autoimmune diseases. We report structures of these enzymes, and the molecular basis of their catalysis. The structures reveal an intra-chain dimer topology forming a basic active site at the interface. Like other PLD superfamily members, PLD3 and PLD4 carry HxKxxxxD/E motifs and participate in phosphodiester-bond cleavage. The enzymes digest ssDNA and ssRNA in a 5'-to-3' manner and are blocked by 5'-phosphorylation. We captured structures in apo, intermediate, and product states and revealed a "link-and-release" two-step catalysis. We also unexpectedly demonstrated phosphatase activity via a covalent 3-phosphohistidine intermediate. PLD4 contains an extra hydrophobic clamp that stabilizes substrate and could affect oligonucleotide substrate preference and product release. Biochemical and structural analysis of disease-associated mutants of PLD3/4 demonstrated reduced enzyme activity or thermostability and the possible basis for disease association. Furthermore, these findings provide insight into therapeutic design.

Abstract
The phospholipase D (PLD) family is comprised of enzymes bearing phospholipase activity towards lipids or endo- and exonuclease activity towards nucleic acids. PLD3 is synthesized as a type II transmembrane protein and proteolytically cleaved in lysosomes, yielding a soluble active form. The deficiency of PLD3 leads to the slowed degradation of nucleic acids in lysosomes and chronic activation of nucleic acid-specific intracellular toll-like receptors. While the mechanism of PLD phospholipase activity has been extensively characterized, not much is known about how PLDs bind and hydrolyze nucleic acids. Here, we determined the high-resolution crystal structure of the luminal N-glycosylated domain of human PLD3 in its apo- and single-stranded DNA-bound forms. PLD3 has a typical phospholipase fold and forms homodimers with two independent catalytic centers via a newly identified dimerization interface. The structure of PLD3 in complex with an ssDNA-derived thymidine product in the catalytic center provides insights into the substrate binding mode of nucleic acids in the PLD family. Our structural data suggest a mechanism for substrate binding and nuclease activity in the PLD family and provide the structural basis to design immunomodulatory drugs targeting PLD3.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) hydrolyses phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) to produce free choline and the critically important lipid signaling molecule phosphatidic acid (PtdOH). Since the initial discovery of PLD activities in plants and bacteria, PLDs have been identified in a diverse range of organisms spanning the taxa. While widespread interest in these proteins grew following the discovery of mammalian isoforms, research into the PLDs of non-mammalian organisms has revealed a fascinating array of functions ranging from roles in microbial pathogenesis, to the stress responses of plants and the developmental patterning of flies. Furthermore, studies in non-mammalian model systems have aided our understanding of the entire PLD superfamily, with translational relevance to human biology and health. Increasingly, the promise for utilization of non-mammalian PLDs in biotechnology is also being recognized, with widespread potential applications ranging from roles in lipid synthesis, to their exploitation for agricultural and pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract
It is axiomatic in medicinal chemistry that optimization of the potency of a small molecule at a macromolecular target requires complementarity between the ligand and target. In order to minimize the conformational penalty on binding, both enthalpically and entropically, it is therefore preferred to have the ligand preorganized in the bound conformation. In this Perspective, we highlight the role of allylic strain in controlling conformational preferences. Allylic strain was originally described for carbon-based allylic systems, but the same principles apply to other types of structure with sp2 or pseudo-sp2 arrangements. These systems include benzylic (including heteroaryl methyl) positions, amides, N-aryl groups, aryl ethers, and nucleotides. We have derived torsion profiles from small molecule X-ray structures for these systems. Through multiple examples, we show how these effects have been applied in drug discovery and how they can be used prospectively to influence conformation in the design process.

Abstract
Non-specific phospholipase C (NPC) hydrolyzes major membrane phospholipids to release diacylglycerol (DAG), a potent lipid-derived messenger regulating cell functions. Despite extensive studies on NPCs reveal their fundamental roles in plant growth and development, the mechanistic understanding of phospholipid-hydrolyzing by NPCs, remains largely unknown. Here we report the crystal structure of Arabidopsis NPC4 at a resolution of 2.1 Å. NPC4 is divided into a phosphoesterase domain (PD) and a C-terminal domain (CTD), and is structurally distinct from other characterized phospholipases. The previously uncharacterized CTD is indispensable for the full activity of NPC4. Mechanistically, CTD contributes NPC4 activity mainly via CTDα1-PD interaction, which ultimately stabilizes the catalytic pocket in PD. Together with a series of structure-guided biochemical studies, our work elucidates the structural basis and provides molecular mechanism of phospholipid hydrolysis by NPC4, and adds new insights into the members of phospholipase family.

Structural insights into PA3488-mediated inactivation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PldA. Nat Commun 2022; 13:5979.

Abstract
PldA, a phospholipase D (PLD) effector, catalyzes hydrolysis of the phosphodiester bonds of glycerophospholipids-the main component of cell membranes-and assists the invasion of the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. As a cognate immunity protein, PA3488 can inhibit the activity of PldA to avoid self-toxicity. However, the precise inhibitory mechanism remains elusive. We determine the crystal structures of full-length and truncated PldA and the cryogenic electron microscopy structure of the PldA-PA3488 complex. Structural analysis reveals that there are different intermediates of PldA between the "open" and "closed" states of the catalytic pocket, accompanied by significant conformational changes in the "lid" region and the peripheral helical domain. Through structure-based mutational analysis, we identify the key residues responsible for the enzymatic activity of PldA. Together, these data provide an insight into the molecular mechanisms of PldA invasion and its neutralization by PA3488, aiding future design of PLD-targeted inhibitors and drugs.

Abstract
A new phospholipase D from marine Moritella sp. JT01 (MsPLD) was recombinantly expressed and biochemically characterized. The optimal reaction temperature and pH of MsPLD were determined to be 35 °C and 8.0. MsPLD was stable at a temperature lower than 35 °C, and the t1/2 at 4 °C was 41 days. The crystal structure of apo-MsPLD was resolved and the functions of a unique extra loop segment on the enzyme activity were characterized. The results indicated that a direct deletion or fastening of the extra loop segment by introducing disulfide bonds both resulted in a complete loss of its activity. The results of the maximum insertion pressure indicated that the deletion of the extra loop segment significantly decreased MsPLD’s interfacial binding properties to phospholipid monolayers. Finally, MsPLD was applied to the synthesis of phosphatidic acid by using a biphasic reaction system. Under optimal reaction conditions, the conversion rate of phosphatidic acid reached 86%. The present research provides a foundation for revealing the structural–functional relationship of this enzyme.

Inhibition of phospholipase D1 induces immunogenic cell death and potentiates cancer immunotherapy in colorectal cancer. EXPERIMENTAL & MOLECULAR MEDICINE 2022; 54:1563-1576.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) is a potential therapeutic target against cancer. However, the contribution of PLD inhibition to the antitumor response remains unknown. We developed a potent and selective PLD1 inhibitor based on computer-aided drug design. The inhibitor enhanced apoptosis in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells but not in normal colonic cells, and in vitro cardiotoxicity was not observed. The inhibitor downregulated the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and reduced the migration, invasion, and self-renewal capacity of CRC cells. In cancer, therapeutic engagement of immunogenic cell death (ICD) leads to more effective responses by eliciting the antitumor immunity of T cells. The CRC cells treated with the inhibitor showed hallmarks of ICD, including downregulation of “do not eat-me” signals (CD24, CD47, programmed cell death ligand 1 [PD-L1]), upregulation of “eat-me” signal (calreticulin), release of high-mobility group Box 1, and ATP. PLD1 inhibition subsequently enhanced the phagocytosis of cancer cells by macrophages through the surface expression of costimulatory molecules; as a result, the cancer cells were more susceptible to cytotoxic T-cell-mediated killing. Moreover, PLD1 inhibition attenuated colitis-associated CRC and orthotopically injected tumors, probably by controlling multiple pathways, including Wnt signaling, phagocytosis checkpoints, and immune signaling. Furthermore, combination therapy with a PLD1 inhibitor and an anti-PD-L1 antibody further enhanced tumor regression via immune activation in the tumor environment. Collectively, in this study, PLD1 was identified as a critical regulator of the tumor microenvironment in colorectal cancer, suggesting the potential of PLD1 inhibitors for cancer immunotherapy based on ICD and immune activation. PLD1 inhibitors may act as promising immune modulators in antitumor treatment via ICD. A novel drug that can inhibit an enzyme involved in colorectal cancer progression shows promise in trials on mouse models. The phospholipase D1 (PLD1) enzyme reinforces a critical signaling pathway that promotes cancer progression and drug resistance. Using computer-aided drug design, South Korean researchers led by Do Sik Min and Gyoonhee Han at Yonsei University in Incheon and Seoul, respectively, have developed a drug that specifically binds to and inhibits PLD1. In trials, the researchers observed downregulation of PLD1’s associated signaling pathway, and reductions in the ability of colorectal cancer cells to migrate, invade and replicate. The drug suppressed the cancer cells’ “don’t-eat-me” signals and upregulated “eat-me” signals, triggering improved responses from the immune system. The drug was even more effective when used in combination with an immunotherapy agent.

Abstract
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a nosocomial opportunistic pathogen that can cause pneumonia, liver abscesses, and infections of the bloodstream. The resistance and pathogenicity of K. pneumoniae pose major challenges to clinical practice. However, the ecology and pathogenic mechanisms of K. pneumoniae have not been fully elucidated. Among these mechanisms, the secretion systems encoded by strains of the bacteria confer adaptive advantages depending on the niche occupied. The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a multi-protein complex that delivers effector proteins to the extracellular environment or directly to eukaryotic or prokaryotic cells. T6SSs are widely distributed in Gram-negative bacteria and play an important role in bacterial virulence and the interactions between bacteria and other microorganisms or the environment. This study aimed to enhance the understanding of the characteristics of T6SSs in K. pneumoniae through an in-depth comparative genomic analysis of the T6SS in 241 sequenced strains of K. pneumoniae. We identified the T6SS loci, the synteny of the loci in different species, as well as the effectors and core T6SS-related genes in K. pneumoniae. The presence of a T6SS was a common occurrence in K. pneumoniae, and two T6SS clusters are the most prevalent. The variable region downstream of the gene vgrG usually encodes effector proteins. Conserved domain analysis indicated that the identified putative effectors in K. pneumoniae had the functions of lipase, ribonuclease, deoxyribonuclease, and polysaccharide hydrolase. However, some effectors did not contain predicted functional domains, and their specific functions have yet to be elucidated. This in silico study represents a detailed analysis of T6SS-associated genes in K. pneumoniae and provides a foundation for future studies on the mechanism(s) of T6SSs, especially effectors, which may generate new insights into pathogenicity and lead to the identification of proteins with novel antimicrobial properties.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) is a phospholipase enzyme responsible for hydrolyzing phosphatidylcholine into the lipid signaling molecule, phosphatidic acid, and choline. From a therapeutic perspective, PLD has been implicated in human cancer progression as well as a target for neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's. Moreover, knockdown of PLD rescues the ALS phenotype in multiple Drosophila models of ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and displays modest motor benefits in an SOD1 ALS mouse model. To further validate whether inhibiting PLD is beneficial for the treatment of ALS, a brain penetrant small molecule inhibitor with suitable PK properties to test in an ALS animal model is needed. Using a combination of ligand-based drug discovery and structure-based design, a dual PLD1/PLD2 inhibitor was discovered that is single digit nanomolar in the Calu-1 cell assay and has suitable PK properties for in vivo studies. To capture the in vivo measurement of PLD inhibition, a transphosphatidylation pharmacodynamic LC-MS assay was developed, in which a dual PLD1/PLD2 inhibitor was found to reduce PLD activity by 15-20-fold.

Abstract
The simple structure of phosphatidic acid (PA) belies its complex biological functions as both a key phospholipid biosynthetic intermediate and a potent signaling molecule. In the latter role, PA controls processes including vesicle trafficking, actin dynamics, cell growth, and migration. However, experimental methods to decode the pleiotropy of PA are sorely lacking. Because PA metabolism and trafficking are rapid, approaches to accurately visualize and manipulate its levels require high spatiotemporal precision. Here, we describe recent efforts to create a suite of chemical tools that enable imaging and perturbation of PA signaling. First, we describe techniques to visualize PA production by phospholipase D (PLD) enzymes, which are major producers of PA, called Imaging Phospholipase D Activity with Clickable Alcohols via Transphosphatidylation (IMPACT). IMPACT harnesses the ability of endogenous PLD enzymes to accept bioorthogonally tagged alcohols in transphosphatidylation reactions to generate functionalized reporter lipids that are subsequently fluorescently tagged via click chemistry. Second, we describe two light-controlled approaches for precisely manipulating PA signaling. Optogenetic PLDs use light-mediated heterodimerization to recruit a bacterial PLD to desired organelle membranes, and photoswitchable PA analogs contain azobenzene photoswitches in their acyl tails, enabling molecular shape and bioactivity to be controlled by light. We highlight select applications of these tools for studying GPCR-Gq signaling, discovering regulators of PLD signaling, tracking intracellular lipid transport pathways, and elucidating new oncogenic signaling roles for PA. We envision that these chemical tools hold promise for revealing many new insights into lipid signaling pathways.

Abstract
Owing to their numerous nutritional and bioactive functions, phospholipids (PLs), which are major components of biological membranes in all living organisms, have been widely applied as nutraceuticals, food supplements, and cosmetic ingredients. To date, PLs are extracted solely from soybean or egg yolk, despite the diverse market demands and high cost, owing to a tedious and inefficient manufacturing process. A microbial-based manufacturing process, specifically phospholipase D (PLD)-based biocatalysis and biotransformation process for PLs, has the potential to address several challenges associated with the soybean- or egg yolk-based supply chain. However, poor enzyme properties and inefficient microbial expression systems for PLD limit their wide industrial dissemination. Therefore, sourcing new enzyme variants with improved properties and developing advanced PLD expression systems are important. In the present review, we systematically summarize recent achievements and trends in the discovery, their structural properties, catalytic mechanisms, expression strategies for enhancing PLD production, and its multiple applications in the context of PLs. This review is expected to assist researchers to understand current advances in this field and provide insights for further molecular engineering efforts toward PLD-mediated bioprocessing.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) generates the signaling lipid phosphatidic acid (PA) and has been known to mediate proliferation signal in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). However, it remains unclear how PLD contributes to vascular diseases. VSMC proliferation directly contributes to the development and progression of cardiovascular disease, such as atherosclerosis and restenosis after angioplasty. Using the mouse carotid artery ligation model, we find that deletion of Pld1 gene inhibits neointima formation of the injuried blood vessels. PLD1 deficiency reduces the proliferation of VSMCs in both injured artery and primary cultures through the inhibition of ERK1/2 and AKT signals. Immunohistochemical staining of injured artery and flow cytometry analysis of VSMCs shows a reduction of the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in Pld1-/- VSMCs. An increase of intracellular ROS by hydrogen peroxide stimulation restored the reduced activities of ERK and AKT in Pld1-/- VSMCs, whereas a reduction of ROS by N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) scavenger lowered their activity in wild-type VSMCs. These results indicate that PLD1 plays a critical role in neointima, and that PLD1 mediates VSMC proliferation signal through promoting the production of ROS. Therefore, inhibition of PLD1 may be used as a therapeutic approach to suppress neointimal formation in atherosclerosis and restenosis after angioplasty.

Abstract
Phospholipases D (PLDs) play important roles in different organisms and in vitro phospholipid modifications, which attract strong interests for investigation. However, the lack of PLD structural information has seriously hampered both the understanding of their structure-function relationships and the structure-based bioengineering of this enzyme. Herein, we presented the crystal structure of a PLD from the plant-associated bacteria Serratia plymuthica strain AS9 (SpPLD) at a resolution of 1.79 Å. Two classical HxKxxxxD (HKD) motifs were found in SpPLD and have shown high structural consistence with several PLDs in the same family. While comparing the structure of SpPLD with the previous resolved PLDs from the same family, several unique conformations on the C-terminus of the HKD motif were demonstrated to participate in the arrangement of the catalytic pocket of SpPLD. In SpPLD, an extented loop conformation between β9 and α9 (aa228-246) was found. Moreover, electrostatic surface potential showed that this loop region in SpPLD was positively charged while the corresponding loops in the two Streptomyces originated PLDs (PDB ID: 1F0I, 2ZE4/2ZE9) were neutral. The shortened loop between α10 and α11 (aa272-275) made the SpPLD unable to form the gate-like structure which existed specically in the two Streptomyces originated PLDs (PDB ID: 1F0I, 2ZE4/2ZE9) and functioned to stabilize the substrates. In contrast, the shortened loop conformation at this corresponding segment was more alike to several nucleases (Nuc, Zuc, mZuc, NucT) within the same family. Moreover, the loop composition between β11 and β12 was also different from the two Streptomyces originated PLDs (PDB ID: 1F0I, 2ZE4/2ZE9), which formed the entrance of the catalytic pocket and were closely related to substrate recognition. So far, SpPLD was the only structurally characterized PLD enzyme from Serratia. The structural information derived here not only helps for the understanding of the biological function of this enzyme in plant protection, but also helps for the understanding of the rational design of the mutant, with potential application in phospholipid modification.

Abstract
Mammalian phospholipase D (PLD) generates phosphatidic acid, a dynamic lipid secondary messenger involved with a broad spectrum of cellular functions including but not limited to metabolism, migration, and exocytosis. As a promising pharmaceutical target, the biochemical properties of PLD have been well characterized. This has led to the recent crystal structures of human PLD1 and PLD2, the development of PLD specific pharmacological inhibitors, and the identification of cellular regulators of PLD. In this review, we discuss the PLD1 and PLD2 structures, PLD inhibition by small molecules, and the regulation of PLD activity by effector proteins and lipids.

Abstract
Human tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1) belongs to the phospholipase D superfamily, whose members contain paired catalytic histidine and lysine residues within two conserved motifs and hydrolyze phosphodiester bonds. TDP1 is a DNA repair enzyme that processes 3′ DNA end blocking lesions and a wide range of synthetic DNA adducts as a substrate. TDP1 hydrolyzes DNA-adducts via two coordinated SN2 nucleophilic attacks mediated by the action of two histidine residues and leads to the formation of the covalent intermediate. Hydrolysis of this intermediate is proposed to be carried out by a water molecule that is activated by the His493 residue acting as a general base. It was known that phospholipase D enzymes are able to catalyze not only hydrolysis but also a transphosphatidylation reaction in the presence of primary alcohols in which they transfer the substrate to the alcohol instead of water. Here, we first demonstrated that TDP1 is able to undergo a “transphosphooligonucleotidation” reaction, transferring the substrate residue to the alcohol, thus inducing the formation of covalent DNA adducts with different primary alcohol residues. Such adducts can be accumulated in the conditions of high concentration of alcohol. We demonstrated that glycerol residue was efficiently cleaved from the 3′-end by TDP1 but not by its mutant form associated with the disease spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy. Therefore, the second reaction step can be carried out not only by a water molecule but also by the other small nucleophilic molecules, e.g., glycerol and ethanol. Thus, in some cases, TDP1 can be regarded not only as a repair enzyme but also as a source of DNA damage especially in the case of mutation. Such damages can make a negative contribution to the stability of cell vitality.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) and its metabolic active product phosphatidic acid (PA) engage in a wide range of physiopathologic processes in the cell. PLDs have been considered as a potential and promising drug target. Recently, the crystal structures of PLDs in mammalian and plant have been solved at atomic resolution. These achievements allow us to understand the structural differences among different species of PLDs and the functions of their key domains. In this review, we summarize the sequence and structure of different species of PLD isoforms, and discuss the structural mechanisms for PLD interactions with their binding partners and the functions of each key domain in the regulation of PLDs activation and catalytic reaction.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) is a ubiquitous enzyme that cleaves the distal phosphoester bond of phospholipids generating phosphatidic acid (PA). In plants, PA is involved in numerous cell responses triggered by stress. Similarly, in mammals, PA is also a second messenger involved in tumorigenesis. PLD is nowadays considered as a therapeutic target and blocking its activity with specific inhibitors constitutes a promising strategy to treat cancers. Starting from already described PLD inhibitors, this study aims to investigate the effect of their structural modifications on the enzyme's activity, as well as identifying new potent inhibitors of eukaryotic PLDs. Being able to purify the plant PLD from Vigna unguiculata (VuPLD), we obtained a SAXS model of its structure. We then used a fluorescence-based test suitable for high-throughput screening to review the effect of eukaryotic PLD inhibitors described in the literature. In this regard, we found that only few molecules were in fact able to inhibit VuPLD and we confirmed that vanadate is the most potent of all with an IC50 around 58 μM. Moreover, the small-scale screening of a chemical library of 3120 compounds allowed us to optimize the different screening's steps and paved the way towards the discovery of new potent inhibitors.
