Abstract
Lipid droplets (LDs) are dynamic organelles that undergo dynamic changes in response to changing cellular conditions. During nutrient depletion, LD numbers increase to protect cells against toxic fatty acids generated through autophagy and provide fuel for beta-oxidation. However, the precise mechanisms through which these changes are regulated have remained unclear. Here, we show that the small GTPase RalA acts downstream of autophagy to directly facilitate LD growth during nutrient depletion. Mechanistically, RalA performs this function through phospholipase D1 (PLD1), an enzyme that converts phosphatidylcholine (PC) to phosphatidic acid (PA) and that is recruited to lysosomes during nutrient stress in a RalA-dependent fashion. RalA inhibition prevents recruitment of the LD-associated protein perilipin 3, which is required for LD growth. Our data support a model in which RalA recruits PLD1 to lysosomes during nutrient deprivation to promote the localized production of PA and the recruitment of perilipin 3 to expanding LDs.

Abstract
The Hippo pathway plays a crucial role in organ size control and tumor suppression, but its precise regulation is not fully understood. In this study, we discovered that phosphatidic acid (PA)-related lipid signaling is a key regulator of the Hippo pathway. Supplementing PA in various Hippo-activating conditions activates YAP. This PA-related lipid signaling is involved in Rho-mediated YAP activation. Mechanistically, PA directly interacts with Hippo components LATS and NF2 to disrupt LATS-MOB1 complex formation and NF2-mediated LATS membrane translocation and activation, respectively. Inhibition of phospholipase D (PLD)-dependent PA production suppresses YAP oncogenic activities. PLD1 is highly expressed in breast cancer and positively correlates with YAP activation, suggesting their pathological relevance in breast cancer development. Taken together, our study not only reveals a role of PLD-PA lipid signaling in regulating the Hippo pathway but also indicates that the PLD-PA-YAP axis is a potential therapeutic target for cancer treatment.

The US3 Protein of Pseudorabies Virus Drives Viral Passage across the Basement Membrane in Porcine Respiratory Mucosa Explants. J Virol 2016; 90:10945-10950.

Abstract
Passage of the basement membrane (BM), which forms a barrier between the epithelium and the underlying lamina propria, represents an important step in the early pathogenesis of different alphaherpesviruses. Rho GTPase signaling plays an important role in transmigration of cells across the BM during physiological and pathological processes. We reported earlier that the US3 protein kinase of the alphaherpesvirus pseudorabies virus (PRV) interferes with Rho GTPase signaling and causes a reorganization of the host cell cytoskeleton, which as a consequence, enhances viral cell-to-cell spread in epithelial cell cultures. Here, using an ex vivo system of porcine nasal respiratory mucosa explants that allows to study PRV invasion through the BM, we found that a PRV strain that lacks US3 expression (ΔUS3 PRV) showed a reduced spread in mucosal epithelium and was virtually unable to breach the BM, in contrast to isogenic wild-type (WT) or US3 rescue PRV strains. Interestingly, addition of IPA3, an inhibitor of p21-activated kinases that blocks the effects of US3 on the cytoskeleton, suppressed the ability of WT PRV to spread across the BM. In addition, artificial suppression of RhoA signaling using CPC3 (cell-permeable C3 transferase) to mimic the effects of US3 on Rho GTPase signaling, significantly increased passage of ΔUS3 PRV through the BM, whereas it did not significantly affect BM passage of WT or US3 rescue PRV. In conclusion, these data indicate that US3 plays an important role in PRV mucosal invasion across the BM, which involves its interference with Rho GTPase signaling. This is the first report describing an alphaherpesvirus protein that drives viral BM passage. IMPORTANCE Many viruses, including alphaherpesviruses, primarily replicate in epithelial cells of surface mucosae, such as the respiratory mucosa. Some of these viruses breach the basement membrane underlying these epithelial cells to reach underlying connective tissue and blood vessels and invade the host. Hence, epithelial spread and basement membrane passage represent crucial but still poorly understood early steps in (alphaherpes)virus pathogenesis. Here, using ex vivo porcine respiratory mucosa explants, we show that the conserved US3 protein of the porcine alphaherpesvirus pseudorabies virus (PRV) is critical for passage of PRV across the basement membrane and contributes to efficient viral epithelial spread. In addition, we show that US3-mediated viral epithelial spread and passage across the basement membrane depend at least in part on the ability of this viral protein to modulate cellular Rho GTPase signaling. This is the first report that identifies an alphaherpesvirus protein that drives viral basement membrane passage.

Abstract
Phospholipase D is a ubiquitous class of enzymes that generates phosphatidic acid as an intracellular signaling species. The phospholipase D superfamily plays a central role in a variety of functions in prokaryotes, viruses, yeast, fungi, plants, and eukaryotic species. In mammalian cells, the pathways modulating catalytic activity involve a variety of cellular signaling components, including G protein-coupled receptors, receptor tyrosine kinases, polyphosphatidylinositol lipids, Ras/Rho/ADP-ribosylation factor GTPases, and conventional isoforms of protein kinase C, among others. Recent findings have shown that phosphatidic acid generated by phospholipase D plays roles in numerous essential cellular functions, such as vesicular trafficking, exocytosis, autophagy, regulation of cellular metabolism, and tumorigenesis. Many of these cellular events are modulated by the actions of phosphatidic acid, and identification of two targets (mammalian target of rapamycin and Akt kinase) has especially highlighted a role for phospholipase D in the regulation of cellular metabolism. Phospholipase D is a regulator of intercellular signaling and metabolic pathways, particularly in cells that are under stress conditions. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the regulation of phospholipase D activity and its modulation of cellular signaling pathways and functions.

Abstract
Biological membranes in eukaryotes contain a large variety of proteins and lipids often distributed in domains in plasma membrane and endomembranes. Molecular mechanisms responsible for the transport and the organization of these membrane domains along the secretory pathway still remain elusive. Here we show that vesicular SNARE TI-VAMP/VAMP7 plays a major role in membrane domains composition and transport. We found that the transport of exogenous and endogenous GPI-anchored proteins was altered in fibroblasts isolated from VAMP7-knockout mice. Furthermore, disassembly and reformation of the Golgi apparatus induced by Brefeldin A treatment and washout were impaired in VAMP7-depleted cells, suggesting that loss of VAMP7 expression alters biochemical properties and dynamics of the Golgi apparatus. In addition, lipid profiles from these knockout cells indicated a defect in glycosphingolipids homeostasis. We conclude that VAMP7 is required for effective transport of GPI–anchored proteins to cell surface and that VAMP7-dependent transport contributes to both sphingolipids and Golgi homeostasis.

Abstract
Three theories of regeneration dominate neuroscience today, all purporting to explain why the adult central nervous system (CNS) cannot regenerate. One theory proposes that Nogo, a molecule expressed by myelin, prevents axonal growth. The second theory emphasizes the role of glial scars. The third theory proposes that chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) prevent axon growth. Blockade of Nogo, CSPG, and their receptors indeed can stop axon growth in vitro and improve functional recovery in animal spinal cord injury (SCI) models. These therapies also increase sprouting of surviving axons and plasticity. However, many investigators have reported regenerating spinal tracts without eliminating Nogo, glial scar, or CSPG. For example, many motor and sensory axons grow spontaneously in contused spinal cords, crossing gliotic tissue and white matter surrounding the injury site. Sensory axons grow long distances in injured dorsal columns after peripheral nerve lesions. Cell transplants and treatments that increase cAMP and neurotrophins stimulate motor and sensory axons to cross glial scars and to grow long distances in white matter. Genetic studies deleting all members of the Nogo family and even the Nogo receptor do not always improve regeneration in mice. A recent study reported that suppressing the phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) gene promotes prolific corticospinal tract regeneration. These findings cannot be explained by the current theories proposing that Nogo and glial scars prevent regeneration. Spinal axons clearly can and will grow through glial scars and Nogo-expressing tissue under some circumstances. The observation that deleting PTEN allows corticospinal tract regeneration indicates that the PTEN/AKT/mTOR pathway regulates axonal growth. Finally, many other factors stimulate spinal axonal growth, including conditioning lesions, cAMP, glycogen synthetase kinase inhibition, and neurotrophins. To explain these disparate regenerative phenomena, I propose that the spinal cord has evolved regenerative mechanisms that are normally suppressed by multiple extrinsic and intrinsic factors but can be activated by injury, mediated by the PTEN/AKT/mTOR, cAMP, and GSK3b pathways, to stimulate neural growth and proliferation.

Abstract
Over-expression of phosphoprotein enriched in diabetes/phosphoprotein enriched in astrocytes (PED/PEA-15) causes insulin resistance by interacting with the D4 domain of phospholipase D1 (PLD1). Indeed, the disruption of this association restores insulin sensitivity in cultured cells over-expressing PED/PEA-15. Whether the displacement of PLD1 from PED/PEA-15 improves insulin sensitivity in vivo has not been explored yet. In this work we show that treatment with a recombinant adenoviral vector containing the human D4 cDNA (Ad-D4) restores normal glucose homeostasis in transgenic mice overexpressing PED/PEA-15 (Tg ped/pea-15) by improving both insulin sensitivity and secretion. In skeletal muscle of these mice, D4 over-expression inhibited PED/PEA-15-PLD1 interaction, decreased Protein Kinase C alpha activation and restored insulin induced Protein Kinase C zeta activation, leading to amelioration of insulin-dependent glucose uptake. Interestingly, Ad-D4 administration improved insulin sensitivity also in high-fat diet treated obese C57Bl/6 mice. We conclude that PED/PEA-15-PLD1 interaction may represent a novel target for interventions aiming at improving glucose tolerance.

Abstract
All bacterial toxins, which globally are hydrophilic proteins, interact first with their target cells by recognizing a surface receptor, which is either a lipid or a lipid derivative, or another compound but in a lipid environment. Intracellular active toxins follow various trafficking pathways, the sorting of which is greatly dependent on the nature of the receptor, notably lipidic receptor or receptor embedded into a distinct environment such as lipid microdomains. Numerous other toxins act locally on cell membrane. Indeed, phospholipase activity is a common mechanism shared by several membrane-damaging toxins. In addition, many toxins active intracellularly or on cell membrane modulate host cell phospholipid pathways. Unusually, a few bacterial toxins require a lipid post-translational modification to be active. Thereby, lipids are obligate partners of bacterial toxins.

Abstract
This paper elucidates the effect of different polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) on the phospholipase D (PLD) activity in soluble and particulate fractions of rat renal proximal tubular culture cells. Treatment with Aroclor 1248 (a commercial PCB mixture) caused a marked increase in the activity of PLD in intact renal tubular cells. The PLD activity was increased by Aroclor 1248 in the particulate fraction while the enzyme activity was unaffected in the soluble fraction. This work also shows that PCB 153 (2,2',4,4',5,5'-hexachlorobiphenyl, a di-ortho-substituted nonplanar congener) can increase the activity of PLD only in the particulate fraction. The exposure of cell cultures to PCB 77 (3,3',4,4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl, a non-ortho-substituted planar congener) does not alter PLD activity. These results suggest that PCB effects are structure dependent. Therefore, in order to clarify the molecular mechanism of activation of PLD by PCBs, the contents of immunoreactive PLD were examined by immunoblot analysis. Renal tubular cells expressed a PLD protein of 120 kDa corresponding with the PLD1 mammalian isoform in both the particulate and the soluble fraction. Aroclor 1248, PCB 153, and PCB 77 do not induce changes in the levels of PLD protein. These data indicate that PCBs, particularly nonplanar congeners, increase PLD activity. Moreover, these changes could not be demonstrated in the enzyme content in rat renal tubular cell cultures.

Abstract
Rho proteins are master regulators of a large array of cellular functions, including control of cell morphology, cell migration and polarity, transcriptional activation, and cell cycle progression. They are the eukaryotic targets of various bacterial protein toxins and effectors, which activate or inactivate the GTPases. Here Rho-inactivating toxins and effectors are reviewed, including the families of large clostridial cytotoxins and C3-like transferases, which inactivate Rho GTPases by glucosylation and ADP-ribosylation, respectively.

Abstract
The RhoA GTPase controls many cellular functions, including gene transcription and actin polymerization. Several lines of evidence suggest that Rho GTPases are required for B cell receptor (BCR) signaling, but whether RhoA is necessary has not been investigated. Here, we show that RhoA is activated, downstream of PI3K, in response to BCR stimulation and is important for BCR-dependent calcium flux and cell proliferation. A RhoA dominant-negative mutant strongly inhibited BCR-dependent calcium mobilization. The RhoA-specific inhibitor, C3 toxin, inhibited both BCR-dependent calcium flux and cell proliferation. RhoA is important for BCR-dependent synthesis of IP(3) by PLCgamma2, but is not required for tyrosine phosphorylation of PLCgamma2. BCR-dependent synthesis of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns-4,5-P(2)) is inhibited in the absence of RhoA function. Providing exogenous PtdIns-4,5-P(2) restores BCR-dependent calcium flux in cells lacking functional RhoA. Our findings support a function for RhoA in BCR-dependent PtdIns-4,5-P(2) synthesis, PLCgamma2 activation, calcium mobilization, and cell proliferation.

Abstract
Phospholipase D catalyses the hydrolysis of the phosphodiester bond of glycerophospholipids to generate phosphatidic acid and a free headgroup. Phospholipase D activities have been detected in simple to complex organisms from viruses and bacteria to yeast, plants, and mammals. Although enzymes with broader selectivity are found in some of the lower organisms, the plant, yeast, and mammalian enzymes are selective for phosphatidylcholine. The two mammalian phospholipase D isoforms are regulated by protein kinases and GTP binding proteins of the ADP-ribosylation and Rho families. Mammalian and yeast phospholipases D are also potently stimulated by phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. This review discusses the identification, characterization, structure, and regulation of phospholipase D. Genetic and pharmacological approaches implicate phospholipase D in a diverse range of cellular processes that include receptor signaling, control of intracellular membrane transport, and reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. Most ideas about phospholipase D function consider that the phosphatidic acid product is an intracellular lipid messenger. Candidate targets for phospholipase-D-generated phosphatidic acid include phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinases and the raf protein kinase. Phosphatidic acid can also be converted to two other lipid mediators, diacylglycerol and lyso phosphatidic acid. Coordinated activation of these phospholipase-D-dependent pathways likely accounts for the pleitropic roles for these enzymes in many aspects of cell regulation.

Abstract
C3-like exoenzymes comprise a family of seven bacterial ADP-ribosyltransferases, which selectively modify RhoA, B, and C at asparagine-41. Crystal structures of C3 exoenzymes are available, allowing novel insights into the structure-function relationships of these exoenzymes. Because ADP-ribosylation specifically inhibits the biological functions of the low-molecular mass GTPases, C3 exoenzymes are established pharmacological tools to study the cellular functions of Rho GTPases. Recent studies, however, indicate that the functional consequences of C3-induced ADP-ribosylation are more complex than previously suggested. In the present review the basic properties of C3 exoenzymes are briefly summarized and new findings are reviewed.

Abstract
The inhibition of formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP)-induced superoxide anion (O2(.-)) generation by 2-benzyloxybenzaldehyde (CCY1a) was investigated in rat neutrophils, and the underlying mechanism of this inhibition was assessed. CCY1a concentration-dependently inhibited O2(.-) generation (IC(50)=18.5+/-4.3 microM). In cell-free systems, CCY1a failed to alter O2(.-) generation during dihydroxyfumaric acid autoxidation, in phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-activated neutrophil particulate NADPH oxidase preparations, or during arachidonic acid-induced NADPH oxidase activation. CCY1a increased cellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels in a time- and concentration-dependent manner, and this cAMP-elevating effect was inhibited by the adenylyl cyclase inhibitor 9-(tetrahydro-2'-furyl)adenine (SQ22536), adenosine deaminase (ADA), and the adenosine receptor antagonist 8-(p-sulfophenyl)theophylline. In neutrophils, inhibition of O2(.-) generation by CCY1a was partially reversed by the protein kinase A inhibitor (9R,10S,12S)-2,3,9,10,11,12-hexahydro-10-hydroxy-9-methyl-1-oxo-9,12-epoxy-1H-diindolo[1,2,3-fg:3',2',1'-kl]pyrrolo[3,4-l][1,6]benzodiazocine-10-carboxylic acid, hexyl ester (KT5720). CCY1a did not affect fMLP-induced p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphorylation, but concentration-dependently attenuated the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and Akt (IC(50) about 31.3 and 19.4 microM, respectively). The plateau phase, but not the initial spike, of fMLP-induced [Ca2+](i) changes was inhibited by CCY1a in a concentration-dependent manner. CCY1a inhibition of Ca2+ entry, ERK, and Akt phosphorylation was not prevented by SQ22536 or ADA. fMLP-induced phospholipase D (PLD) activation was inhibited by CCY1a (IC(50)=13.9+/-2.0 microM). ADA and KT5720 did not prevent the inhibition of PLD activation by CCY1a. Collectively, these results indicate that the inhibition by CCY1a of fMLP-induced O2(.-) generation in rat neutrophils can probably be attributed to the increase in cAMP levels, and to the blockade of Ca2+ entry, suppression of Akt, and PLD activation via cAMP-independent mechanisms.

Abstract
Rho is a member of the Ras-related family of small molecular weight GTP-binding proteins, and Rho works as a molecular switch by shuttling between the GDP-bound inactive form and the GTP-bound active form. Rho is involved in cell motility, cell adhesion, and cytokinesis through the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. In addition to this, Rho also regulates Ras-induced transformation, transcriptional activation and cell cycle progression. These actions through the Rho signaling are mediated by downstream Rho effectors. Several putative Rho effectors including ROCK and mDia have been isolated on the basis of their selective binding to the GTP-bound form of Rho. Among them, the ROCK family of Rho-associated serine/threonine protein kinases inactivates myosin phosphatase and actin depolymerizing factor (cofilin/Destrin) to induce stabilization of filamentous actin and increase in the actomyosin-based contractility. mDia binds profilin likely to promote actin polymerization. Thus, these effectors are supposed to work in organization of the actin cytoskeleton. Furthermore, analyses using a ROCK specific inhibitor Y-27632 have suggested that the Rho-ROCK pathway works in contractions of vascular smooth muscles and is involved in malignant cell transformation and tumor invasion and metastasis.

Abstract
Lower esophageal sphincter (LES) tone depends on PGF(2alpha) and thromboxane A(2) acting on receptors linked to G(i3) and G(q) to activate phospholipases and produce second messengers resulting in muscle contraction. We therefore examined PGF(2alpha) signal transduction in circular smooth muscle cells isolated by enzymatic digestion from cat esophagus (Eso) and LES. In Eso, PGF(2alpha)-induced contraction was inhibited by antibodies against the alpha-subunit of G(13) and the monomeric G proteins RhoA and ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF)1 and by the C3 exoenzyme of Clostridium botulinum. A [(35)S]GTPgammaS-binding assay confirmed that G(13), RhoA, and ARF1 were activated by PGF(2alpha). Contraction of Eso was reduced by propranolol, a phospholipase D (PLD) pathway inhibitor and by chelerythrine, a PKC inhibitor. In LES, PGF(2alpha)-induced contraction was inhibited by antibodies against the alpha-subunit of G(q) and G(i3), and a [(35)S]GTPgammaS-binding assay confirmed that G(q) and G(i3) were activated by PGF(2alpha). PGF(2alpha)-induced contraction of LES was reduced by U-73122 and D609 and unaffected by propranolol. At low PGF(2alpha) concentration, contraction was blocked by chelerythrine, whereas at high concentration, contraction was blocked by chelerythrine and CGS9343B. Thus, in Eso, PGF(2alpha) activates a PLD- and protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent pathway through G(13), RhoA, and ARF1. In LES, PGF(2alpha) receptors are coupled to G(q) and G(i3), activating phosphatidylinositol- and phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C. At low concentrations, PGF(2alpha) activates PKC. At high concentration, it activates both a PKC- and a calmodulin-dependent pathway.

Abstract
3-(5'-Hydroxymethyl-2'-furyl)-1-benzyl indazole (YC-1), a soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) activator, inhibited formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP)-induced superoxide anion (O(2)*(-)) generation and O(2) consumption in rat neutrophils (IC(50) values of 12.7+/-3.1 and 17.7+/-6.9 microM, respectively). Inhibition of O(2)*(-) generation by YC-1 was partially reversed by the cyclic GMP-lowering agent 6-anilinoquinoline-5,8-quinone (LY83583) and by the Rp isomer of 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)guanosine-3',5'-monophosphorothioate (Rp-8-pCPT-cGMPS), a cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor. In cell-free systems, YC-1 failed to alter O(2)*(-) generation during dihydroxyfumaric acid autoxidation, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-activated neutrophil particulate NADPH oxidase preparation, and arachidonic acid-induced NADPH oxidase activation. YC-1 increased cellular cyclic GMP levels through the activation of sGC and the inhibition of cyclic GMP-hydrolyzing phosphodiesterase activity. The plateau phase, but not the initial spike, of fMLP-induced [Ca(2+)](i) changes was inhibited by YC-1 (IC(50) about 15 microM). fMLP- but not PMA-induced phospholipase D activation was inhibited by YC-1 (IC(50) about 28 microM). Membrane-associated ADP-ribosylation factor and Rho A in cell activation was also reduced by YC-1 at a similar concentration range. Neither cytosolic protein kinase C (PKC) activity nor PKC membrane translocation was altered by YC-1. YC-1 did not affect either fMLP-induced phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activation or p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphorylation, but slightly attenuated the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase. Collectively, these results indicate that the inhibition of the fMLP-induced respiratory burst by YC-1 is mediated by cyclic GMP-dependent and -independent signaling mechanisms.

Abstract
A 66-kDa molecular weight protein with phospholipase D activity was solubilized and partially purified from rat liver plasma membrane. The activity and regulation of this phospholipase D have been characterized. Immunoblot analyses indicated that the enzyme was distinct from hPLD1 and PLD2, but was recognized by an antibody to the 12 terminal amino acids of PLD1. PLD activity was stimulated by 1-100 microM Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) and displayed a pH optimum of 7.5. Activity was inhibited by both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. This PLD was activated in an ATP-independent manner by the PKC isozymes alpha and betaII but not activated by other PKC isozymes. It was also stimulated by the small G-proteins RhoA and ARF. RhoA stimulated the greatest activation, followed by ARF and PKC(alpha). This enzyme was further activated in a synergistic manner when combinations of PKC(alpha) and RhoA or ARF were used. This enzyme displayed a greater response activation by RhoA than to activation by ARF. While a potential breakdown product of PLD1, activation by RhoA indicates that the PLD characterized here is distinct from the other PLDs cloned or isolated to date.

Abstract
The Ras superfamily of low-molecular-weight GTPases are proteins that, in response to diverse stimuli, control key cellular processes such as cell growth and development, apoptosis, lipid metabolism, cytoarchitecture, membrane trafficking, and transcriptional regulation. More than 100 genes of this superfamily grouped in six subfamilies have been described so far, pointing to the complexities and specificities of their cellular functions. Dysregulation of members of at least two of these families (the Ras and the Rho families) is involved in the events that lead to the uncontrolled proliferation and invasiveness of human tumors. In recent years, the cloning and characterization of downstream effectors for Ras and Rho proteins have given crucial clues to the specific pathways that lead to aberrant cellular growth and ultimately to tumorigenesis. A direct link between the functions of some of these effectors with the appearance of transformed cells and their ability to proliferate and invade surrounding tissues has been made. Accordingly, drugs that specifically alter their functions display antineoplasic properties, and some of these drugs are already under clinical trials. In this review, we survey the progress made in understanding the underlying molecular connections between carcinogenesis and the specific cellular functions elicited by some of these effectors. We also discuss new drugs with antineoplastic or antimetastatic activity that are targeted to specific effectors for Ras or Rho proteins.

Abstract
1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D(3), thought to be a physiological regulator of epidermal keratinocyte growth and differentiation, also elicits the complete differentiative program in vitro, with expression of various genes/proteins characteristic of both early and late differentiation. 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D(3) functions by interacting with an intracellular receptor that binds to DNA at vitamin D response elements (VDRE) thereby affecting transcription. 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D(3) has been demonstrated to alter the expression of several enzymes involved in signal transduction, and presumably this is the mechanism through which the hormone regulates differentiation. It has recently been shown that 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) specifically increases the expression/activity of phospholipase D-1, an enzyme that hydrolyzes phospholipids to generate lipid messengers, such as diacylglycerol (DAG). DAG, in turn, is known to activate several members of the protein kinase C (PKC) family. It has been proposed that this signaling pathway mediates late differentiation events in epidermal keratinocytes. In this article the data supporting a role for PKC and phospholipase D in keratinocyte differentiation, as well as in the pathogenesis of skin diseases, are reviewed and a model is proposed for the signaling pathways that regulate this process upon exposure to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3).

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
Trio is a complex protein containing two guanine nucleotide exchange factor domains each with associated pleckstrin homology domains, a serine/threonine kinase domain, two SH3 domains, an immunoglobulin-like domain, and spectrin-like repeats. Trio was originally identified as a LAR tyrosine phosphatase-binding protein and is involved in actin remodeling, cell migration, and cell growth. Herein we provide evidence that Trio not only activates RhoA but is also a RhoA target. The RhoA-binding site was mapped to the Trio immunoglobulin-like domain. RhoA isoprenylation is necessary for the RhoA-Trio interaction, because mutation of the RhoA carboxyl-terminal cysteine residue blocked binding. The existence of an intramolecular functional link between RhoA activation and RhoA binding is suggested by the finding that Trio exchange activity enhanced RhoA binding to Trio. Furthermore, immunofluorescence studies of HeLa cells showed that although ectopically expressed Trio was evenly distributed within the cell, co-expression of Trio with RhoA resulted in relocalization of Trio into punctate structures. Relocalization was not observed with Trio constructs lacking the immunoglobulin-like domain, indicating that RhoA acts to regulate Trio localization via binding to the immunoglobulin-like domain. We propose that Trio-mediated RhoA activation and subsequent RhoA-mediated relocalization of Trio functions to modulate and coordinate Trio signaling.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides are localized in various intracellular compartments and can regulate a number of intracellular functions, such as cytoskeletal dynamics and membrane trafficking. Phospholipase Ds (PLDs) are regulated enzymes that hydrolyse phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) to generate the putative second messenger phosphatidic acid (PtdOH). In vitro, PLDs have an absolute requirement for higher phosphorylated inositides, such as phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P(2)]. Whether this lipid is able to regulate the activity of PLD in vivo is contentious. To examine this hypothesis we studied the relationship between PLD and an enzyme critical for the intracellular synthesis of PtdIns(4,5)P(2): phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase alpha (Type Ialpha PIPkinase). We find that both PLD1 and PLD2 interact with the Type Ialpha PIPkinase and that PLD2 activity in vivo can be regulated solely by the expression of this lipid kinase. Moreover, PLD2 is able to recruit the Type Ialpha PIPkinase to its intracellular location. We show that the physiological requirement of PLD enzymes for PtdIns(4,5)P(2) is critical and that PLD2 activity can be regulated solely by the levels of this key intracellular lipid.

Abstract
The importance of post-translational geranylgeranylation of the GTPase RhoA for its ability to induce cellular proliferation and malignant transformation is not well understood. In this manuscript we demonstrate that geranylgeranylation is required for the proper cellular localization of V14RhoA and for its ability to induce actin stress fiber and focal adhesion formation. Furthermore, V14RhoA geranylgeranylation was also required for suppressing p21(WAF) transcription, promoting cell cycle progression and cellular proliferation. The ability of V14RhoA to induce focus formation and enhance plating efficiency and oncogenic Ras anchorage-dependent growth was also dependent on its geranylgeranylation. The only biological activity of V14RhoA that was not dependent on its prenylation was its ability to induce serum response element transcriptional activity. Furthermore, we demonstrate that a farnesylated form of V14RhoA was also able to bind RhoGDI-1, was able to induce cytoskeleton organization, proliferation, and transformation, and was just as potent as geranylgeranylated V14RhoA at suppressing p21(WAF) transcriptional activity. These results demonstrate that RhoA geranylgeranylation is required for its biological activity and that the nature of the lipid modification is not critical.

Abstract
Members of the Rho family of small Ras-like GTPases--including RhoA, -B, and -C, Rac1 and -2, and Cdc42--exhibit guanine nucleotide-binding activity and function as molecular switches, cycling between an inactive GDP-bound state and an active GTP-bound state. The Rho family GTPases participate in regulation of the actin cytoskeleton and cell adhesion through specific targets. Identification and characterization of these targets have begun to clarify how the Rho family GTPases act to regulate cytoskeletal structure and cell-cell and cell-substratum contacts in mammalian cells. The Rho family GTPases are also involved in regulation of smooth muscle contraction, cell morphology, cell motility, neurite retraction, and cytokinesis. However, the molecular mechanisms by which the Rho family GTPases participate in the regulation of such processes are not well established.

Abstract
Local anesthetics impair certain functions of neutrophils, and phospholipase D (PLD) is considered to play an important role in the regulation of these functions. To understand the mechanisms by which local anesthetics suppress the functions of neutrophils, we examined the effects of local anesthetics on PLD in neutrophil-like differentiated human promyelocytic leukemic HL60 cells. Tetracaine, a local anesthetic, inhibited formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP)- and 4beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-induced PLD activation, but potentiated fMLP-stimulated phospholipase C activity. All four local anesthetics tested suppressed PMA-induced PLD activation to different extents, and the order of their potency was tetracaine > bupivacaine > lidocaine > procaine. In a cell-free system, tetracaine suppressed guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTPgammaS)-induced PLD activation as well as PMA-induced PLD activation. Western blot analysis revealed that tetracaine prevented the membrane translocation of PLD-activating factors, ADP-ribosylation factor, RhoA, and protein kinase Calpha. Tetracaine also inhibited the activity of recombinant hPLD1a in vitro. These results suggest that local anesthetics suppress PLD activation in differentiated HL60 cells by preventing the membrane translocation of PLD-activating factors, and/or by directly inhibiting the enzyme per se. Therefore, it could be assumed that local anesthetics would suppress the functions of neutrophils by inhibition of PLD activation.

Abstract
It is now well-established that phospholipase D is transiently stimulated upon activation by G-protein-coupled and receptor tyrosine kinase cell surface receptors in mammalian cells. Over the last 5 years, a tremendous effort has gone to identify the major intracellular regulators of mammalian phospholipase D and to the cloning of two mammalian phospholipase D enzymes (phospholipase D1 and D2). In this chapter, we review the physiological function of mammalian phospholipase D1 that is synergistically stimulated by ADP ribosylation factor, Rho and protein kinase Calpha. We discuss the function of this enzyme in membrane traffic, emphasising the possible integrated relationships between consumption of vesicles in regulated exocytosis, membrane delivery and constitutive membrane traffic.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) is a widely distributed enzyme that is under elaborate control by hormones, neurotransmitters, growth factors and cytokines in mammalian cells. Protein kinase C (PKC) plays a major role in the regulation of the PLD1 isozyme through interaction with its N-terminus. PKC activates this isozyme by a non-phosphorylation mechanism in vitro, but phosphorylation plays a role in the action of PKC on the enzyme in vivo. Although PLD1 can be phosphorylated by PKC in vitro, it is unclear that this occurs in vivo. Small GTPases of the ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) and Rho families directly activate PLD1 in vitro and there is evidence that Rho proteins are involved in agonist regulation of PLD1 in vivo. ARF proteins stimulate PLD activity in the Golgi apparatus, but the role of these proteins in agonist regulation of the enzyme is less clear. PLD1 undergoes tyrosine phosphorylation in response to H(2)O(2) treatment of cells. The functional consequence of this phosphorylation and soluble tyrosine kinase(s) involved are presently unknown.

Abstract
The activation of PLD is believed to play an important role in the regulation of cell function and cell fate by extracellular signal molecules. Multiple PLD activities have been characterized in mammalian cells and, more recently, several PLD genes have been cloned. Current evidence indicates that diverse PLD activities are localized in most, if not all, cellular organelles, where they are likely to subserve different functions in signal transduction, membrane vesicle trafficking and cytoskeletal dynamics.

Abstract
Mammalian phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase D1 (PLD1) is a signal transduction-activated enzyme thought to function in multiple cell biological settings including the regulation of membrane vesicular trafficking. PLD1 is activated by the small G proteins, ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) and RhoA, and by protein kinase C-alpha (PKC-alpha). This stimulation has been proposed to involve direct interaction and to take place at a distinct site in PLD1 for each activator. In the present study, we employed the yeast two-hybrid system to attempt to identify these sites. Successful interaction of ARF and PKC-alpha with PLD1 was not achieved, but a C-terminal fragment of human PLD1 (denoted "D4") interacted with the active mutant of RhoA, RhoAVal-14. Deletion of the CAAX box from RhoAVal-14 decreased the strength of the interaction, suggesting that lipid modification of RhoA is important for efficient binding to PLD1. The specificity of the interaction was validated by showing that the PLD1 D4 fragment interacts with glutathione S-transferase-RhoA in vitro in a GTP-dependent manner and that it associates with RhoAVal-14 in COS-7 cells, whereas the N-terminal two-thirds of PLD1 does not. Finally, we show that recombinant D4 peptide inhibits RhoA-stimulated PLD1 activation but not ARF- or PKC-alpha-stimulated PLD1 activation. These results conclusively demonstrate that the C-terminal region of PLD1 contains the RhoA-binding site and suggest that the ARF and PKC interactions occur elsewhere in the protein.

Abstract
The effect of ligating the alpha2-macroglobulin signaling receptor (alpha2MSR) with receptor-recognized forms of alpha2M (alpha2M*) was studied with respect to phospholipase D (PLD) activity in murine macrophages, their plasma membranes, and nuclei. PLD activity in plasma membranes and nuclei increased linearly up to a ligand concentration of about 100 pM of either alpha2M* or a cloned and expressed receptor binding fragment (RBF). The RBF binding site mutant K1370A, which binds with high affinity to alpha2MSR, also increased nuclear PLD activity comparable to RBF and alpha2M*. Phorbol dibutyrate caused a two- to threefold stimulation of membrane and nuclear PLD activity, whereas PLD activity was nearly abolished by downregulation of protein kinase C; prior treatment with staurosporin, genestein, cyclosporin A, actinomycin D; or chelation of intracellular Ca2+. In permeabilized macrophages, isolated plasma membranes, and nuclei, GTP-gamma-S increased alpha2M*-stimulated PLD activity via a pertussis toxin-insensitive G protein and this effect was abolished on preincubation with GDP-beta-S. Incubation of plasma membranes with polyclonal antibody against sARFII, or the addition of cytosol which was immunoprecipitated with antibody against sARFII, greatly reduced alpha2M*-stimulated PLD activity in the presence of GTP-gamma-S. Preincubation of plasma membranes with GDP-beta-S prior to the addition of GTP-gamma-S and recombinant ARF1 significantly inhibited alpha2M*-stimulation of PLD activity. Nuclear PLD activity was maximally stimulated in the presence of both GTP-gamma-S and rARF1, whereas plasma membrane PLD activity was maximally stimulated in the presence of rARF1, GTP-gamma-S, RhoA, and ATP. In contrast, nuclear PLD activity was not affected by RhoA either alone or in combination with GTP-gamma-S or ATP.

Abstract
The hormone 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) elicits the programmed pattern of differentiation in epidermal keratinocytes. Based on data indicating a potential role of phospholipase D (PLD) in mediating keratinocyte differentiation, we investigated the effect of 1,25(OH)2D3 on PLD expression. A 24-h exposure to 1, 25(OH)2D3 stimulated PLD-1, but not PLD-2, mRNA expression. This 1, 25(OH)2D3-enhanced expression was accompanied by increased total PLD and PLD-1 activity. Time course studies indicated that 1,25(OH)2D3 induced PLD-1 expression by 8 h, with a maximal increase at 20-24 h. Exposure to 1,25(OH)2D3 inhibited proliferation over the same time period with similar kinetics. Expression of the early (spinous) differentiation marker keratin 1 decreased in response to 1, 25(OH)2D3 over 12-24 h. Treatment with 1,25(OH)2D3 enhanced the activity of transglutaminase, a late (granular) differentiation marker, by 12 h with a maximal increase after 24 h. In situ hybridization studies demonstrated that the highest levels of PLD-1 expression are in the more differentiated (spinous and granular) layers of the epidermis, with little expression in basal keratinocytes. Our results suggest a role for PLD expression/activity during keratinocyte differentiation.

Abstract
Recently, Escherichia coli cytotoxic necrotizing factor 1 (CNF1) was shown to activate the low-molecular-mass GTPase RhoA by deamidation of Gln63, thereby inhibiting intrinsic and GTPase-activating protein (GAP)-stimulated GTPase activities (G. Schmidt, P. Sehr, M. Wilm, J. Selzer, M. Mann, and K. Aktories, Nature 387:725-729, 1997; G. Flatau, E. Lemichez, M. Gauthier, P. Chardin, S. Paris, C. Fiorentini, and P. Boquet, Nature 387:729-733, 1997). Here we report that in addition to RhoA, Cdc42 and Rac also are targets for CNF1 in vitro and in intact cells. Treatment of HeLa cells with CNF1 induced a transient formation of microspikes and formation of membrane ruffles. CNF1 caused a transient 10- to 50-fold increase in the activity of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase. Tryptic peptides of Cdc42 obtained from CNF1-treated cells by immunoprecipitation exhibited an increase in mass of 1 Da compared to control peptides, indicating the deamidation of glutamine 61 by the toxin. The same increase in mass was observed with the respective peptides obtained from CNF1-modified recombinant Cdc42 and Rac1. Modification of recombinant Cdc42 and Rac1 by CNF1 inhibited intrinsic and GAP-stimulated GTPase activities and retarded binding of 2'(3')-O-(N-methylanthraniloyl)GDP. The data suggest that recombinant as well as cellular Cdc42 and Rac are substrates for CNF1.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) regulates cytoskeletal-dependent antimicrobial responses of myeloid leukocytes, including phagocytosis and oxidant generation. However, the mechanisms responsible for this association between PLD activity and the actin cytoskeleton are unknown. We utilized a cell-free system from U937 promonocytes to test the hypothesis that stimulation of PLD results in stable association of the activated lipase with the detergent-insoluble membrane skeleton. Plasma membrane and cytosol were incubated +/- guanosine 5'-3-O-(thio)triphosphate (GTPgammaS), followed by re-isolation and extraction of the washed membranes with octyl glucoside. The detergent-insoluble fraction derived from membranes incubated with GTPgammaS (DIFGTPgammaS) exhibited 22-fold greater PLD activity than that derived from control membranes (DIF0), when both were assayed in the presence of GTPgammaS. The DIF contained PLD1, RhoA, and ARF, and the level of each was increased by GTPgammaS in a dose-dependent manner. The DIF also contained F-actin, vinculin, talin, paxillin, and alpha-actinin, consistent with its identification as the membrane skeleton. The physiologic relevance of these findings was demonstrated by a similar increase in DIF-associated PLD activity after stimulation of intact U937 cells with opsonized zymosan. These results indicate that stimulation of PLD1 is accompanied by stable association of the activated lipase, RhoA, and ADP-ribosylation factor with the actin-based membrane skeleton.

Abstract
Focal adhesion assembly and actin stress fiber formation were studied in serum-starved Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts permeabilized with streptolysin-O. Permeabilization in the presence of GTPgammaS stimulated rho-dependent formation of stress fibers, and the redistribution of vinculin and paxillin from a perinuclear location to focal adhesions. Addition of GTPgammaS at 8 min after permeabilization still induced paxillin recruitment to focal adhesion-like structures at the ends of stress fibers, but vinculin remained in the perinuclear region, indicating that the distributions of these two proteins are regulated by different mechanisms. Paxillin recruitment was largely rho-independent, but could be evoked using constitutively active Q71L ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF1), and blocked by NH2-terminally truncated Delta17ARF1. Moreover, leakage of endogenous ARF from cells was coincident with loss of GTPgammaS- induced redistribution of paxillin to focal adhesions, and the response was recovered by addition of ARF1. The ability of ARF1 to regulate paxillin recruitment to focal adhesions was confirmed by microinjection of Q71LARF1 and Delta17ARF1 into intact cells. Interestingly, these experiments showed that V14RhoA- induced assembly of actin stress fibers was potentiated by Q71LARF1. We conclude that rho and ARF1 activate complimentary pathways that together lead to the formation of paxillin-rich focal adhesions at the ends of prominent actin stress fibers.

Abstract
Rho family GTP-binding proteins have been demonstrated to play a role in the regulation of phospholipase D (PLD) activity. In the present study, we examined the role of Rho proteins in PLD activation in differentiated HL-60 cells using C3 exoenzyme from Clostridium botulinum, which ADP-ribosylates and inactivates Rho proteins. Introduction of C3 exoenzyme into differentiated HL-60 cells by electroporation resulted in complete inhibition of PLD activity stimulated by formyl methionine-leucine-phenylalanine (fMLP) and ATP, two receptor agonists. Phorbol myristate acetate-induced PLD activation was also inhibited in C3 exoenzyme-treated cells, but the inhibition was only partial. GTPgammaS-dependent activation of PLD, measured in the absence or presence of ATP in permeabilized cells, was also partially affected by C3 exoenzyme treatment. Thus, these results indicate that Rho proteins play a key role in receptor-mediated PLD regulation in differentiated HL-60 cells, but play a partial role in the in vivo action of PMA and in vitro action of GTPgammaS on PLD. ATP produced a significant enhancement of the in vitro effect of GTPgammaS on PLD activity, but the effect of ATP was not altered by inhibitors of serine/threonine and tyrosine kinases. However, it was markedly reduced by neomycin and accompanied by an increase in phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdInsP2) synthesis. These data indicate that in permeabilized HL-60 cells, the stimulatory effect of ATP on PLD does not involve protein phosphorylation but is due to an increase in PtdInsP2.

Abstract
We investigated the interaction of ADP-ribosylation factor (Arf) with the secretory granules in rat parotid acinar cells. The 20. 5-kDa small-molecular-mass GTP-binding protein in the cytosolic fraction of rat parotid acinar cells was identified as ADP-ribosylation factor1 by using a pan-Arf monoclonal antibody and isotype-specific polyclonal antibodies for Arf proteins 1, 3, 5, and 6. Incubation of the cytosolic fraction with isolated secretory granule membranes in the presence of GTPgammaS resulted in the translocation of Arf1 from the cytosolic fraction to the secretory granule membranes. The translocation was not observed in the presence of GDPbetaS in place of GTPgammaS, indicating that the process is GTP-dependent. The immunoelectron microscopy experiment confirmed Arf1 is translocated to the secretory granules. A prior treatment of the granule membranes with trypsin inhibited the translocation of Arf1 at 2 mM Mg2+, but had no effect in the absence of Mg2+ (condition of spontaneous conversion of Arf-GDP to Arf-GTP). Thus, the trypsin-sensitive nucleotide exchange activity for Arf1 is probably associated with the secretory granule membranes. These results demonstrate Arf1 translocates to the secretory granules in rat parotid acinar cells.

Abstract
Phospholipase D1 (PLD1) is known to be activated by ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (ARF1). We report here that ARF1 co-immunoprecipitates with PLD1 and that the ARF1-dependent PLD activation is induced by the direct interaction between ARF1 and PLD1. We found that RalA, another member of the small GTP-binding proteins, synergistically enhances the ARF1-dependent PLD activity with an EC50 of about 30 nM. Using in vitro binding assay, we show that ARF1 and RalA directly interact with different sites of PLD1. The results suggest that the independent interactions of RalA and ARF1 with PLD1 are responsible for the synergistic activation.

Abstract
Activation of intact human neutrophils by fMLP stimulates phospholipase D (PLD) by an unknown signaling pathway. The small GTPase, ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF), and Rho proteins regulate the activity of PLD1 directly. Cell permeabilization with streptolysin O leads to loss of cytosolic proteins including ARF but not Rho proteins from the human neutrophils. PLD activation by fMLP is refractory in these cytosol-depleted cells. Readdition of myr-ARF1 but not non-myr-ARF1 restores fMLP-stimulated PLD activity. C3 toxin, which inactivates Rho proteins, reduces the ARF-reconstituted PLD activity, illustrating that although Rho alone does not stimulate PLD activity, it synergizes with ARF. To identify the signaling pathway to ARF and Rho activation by fMLP, we used pertussis toxin and wortmannin to examine the requirement for heterotrimeric G proteins of the Gi family and for phosphoinositide 3-kinase, respectively. PLD activity in both intact cells and the ARF-restored response in cytosol-depleted cells is inhibited by pertussis toxin, indicating a requirement for Gi2/Gi3 protein. In contrast, wortmannin inhibited only fMLP-stimulated PLD activity in intact neutrophils, but it has no effect on myr-ARF1-reconstituted activity. fMLP-stimulated translocation of ARF and Rho proteins to membranes is not inhibited by wortmannin. It is concluded that activation of Gi proteins is obligatory for ARF/Rho activation by fMLP, but activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase is not required.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) has been implicated in a variety of cellular processes including vesicular transport, the respiratory burst, and mitogenesis. PLD1, first cloned from human, is activated by small GTPases such as ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) and RhoA. Rodent PLD2, which is approximately 50% identical to PLD1 has recently been cloned from mouse embryo (Colley, W., Sung, T., Roll, R., Jenco, J., Hammond, S., Altshuller, Y., Bar-Sagi, D., Morris, A., and Frohman, M. (1997) Curr. Biol. 7, 191-201) and rat brain (Kodaki, T., and Yamashita, S. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 11408-11413). We describe herein the cloning from a B cell library and expression of human PLD2 (hPLD2). The open reading frame is predicted to encode a 933-amino acid protein (Mr of 105,995); this corresponds to the size of the protein expressed in insect cells using recombinant baculovirus. The deduced amino acid sequence shows 53 and 90% identity to hPLD1 and rodent PLD2, respectively. The mRNA for PLD2 was widely distributed in various tissues including peripheral blood leukocytes, and the distribution was distinctly different from that of hPLD1. hPLD1 and hPLD2 both showed a requirement for phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. Both isoforms showed optimal activity at 10-20 mol % phosphatidylcholine in a mixed lipid vesicle system and showed comparable basal activities in the presence of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. Unexpectedly, ARF-1 stimulated the activity of hPLD2 expressed in insect cells about 2-fold, compared with a 20-fold stimulation of hPLD1 activity. Thus, not only PLD1 but also hPLD2 activity can be positively regulated by both phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and ARF.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) has been identified as a target of small G proteins of the Rho family. The present study was directed at defining the interaction sites of RhoA with rat brain PLD in vitro using chimeric proteins between RhoA and Ha-Ras or Cdc42Hs and point mutations. The switch I region of RhoA, which is the common effector domain of Ras-like G proteins, was a crucial interaction site for PLD. Mutations in conserved amino acids (Tyr34, Thr37, Phe39) totally abolished PLD activation, while mutations in Val38 or Tyr42 caused partial loss. Two additional sites were responsible for the differential PLD activation ability between RhoA and Cdc42Hs. Changing Asp76 in the switch II region of RhoA to the corresponding amino acid in Cdc42Hs led to partial loss of PLD activation. A chimeric protein with the N-terminal third of Cdc42Hs changed to RhoA showed enhanced PLD activation. Analysis of other Rho/Ha-Ras chimeric proteins and mutations indicated that Gln52 adjacent to the switch II region is responsible for this gain of function. In conclusion, the present study shows that conserved amino acids in the switch I region of RhoA are major PLD interaction sites and that residues in the switch II and internal regions are responsible for the differential activation of PLD by RhoA and Cdc42Hs.
