Abstract
Three putative alkaline phosphatase genes, phoA, phoC and phoD, were identified in the genome of Streptomyces coelicolor by homology with the amino acid sequence obtained from the PhoA protein of Streptomyces griseus. PhoA and PhoC correspond to broad-spectrum alkaline phosphatases whereas PhoD is similar to a Ca(2+)-dependent phospholipase D of Streptomyces chromofuscus. The phoA and phoD genes were efficiently expressed in R5 medium under phosphate-limited conditions, as shown by studies using the xylE reporter gene, whereas phoC was poorly transcribed under the same conditions. Expression of phoA was clearly PhoP-dependent since it was not transcribed in the S. coelicolor DeltaphoP mutant and was strongly activated under low phosphate concentrations. Similarly, expression of phoD was PhoP-dependent and highly sensitive to phosphate availability. By contrast, expression of phoC was not PhoP-dependent. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays showed that PhoP binds to the phoA and phoD promoters, but not to that of phoC. Footprinting studies with GST-PhoP revealed the presence of a PHO box (two direct 11 nt repeats) in the phoA promoter and two PHO boxes in the promoter of phoD. The transcription start points of the three promoters were identified by primer extension. The transcription start point of phoD coincides with the G of its translation start codon, indicating that this gene is transcribed as a leaderless mRNA. The deduced -10 and -35 regions of phoD (but not those of phoA) overlapped with the PHO boxes in this promoter, suggesting that an excess of PhoP interferes with binding of the RNA polymerase to this promoter. In summary, the three promoters showed clear differences in the modulation of their expression by PhoP.

Abstract
Phospholipase D from Streptomyces chromofuscus (scPLD) hydrolyzes phosphatidylcholines (PC) to produce choline and phosphatidic acid (PA), a lipid messenger molecule within biological membranes. To scrutinize the influence of membrane structure on scPLD activity, three different substrate-containing monolayers are used as model systems: pure dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) as well as equimolar mixtures of DPPC/n-hexadecanol (C(16)OH) and DPPC/dipalmitoylglycerol (DPG). The activity of scPLD toward these monolayers is tested by infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy and exhibits different dependencies on surface pressure. For pure DPPC, the catalytic turnover drastically drops above 20 mN/m. On addition of C(16)OH, this strong decrease starts at 5 mN/m. For the DPPC/DPG system, the reaction yield linearly decreases between 5 and 25 mN/m. The difference in scPLD activity is correlated to the phase state of the monolayers as examined by x-ray diffraction, Brewster angle microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. Because the additives C(16)OH and DPG mediate the miscibility of PC and PA, only a basal activity of scPLD is observed toward the mixed systems at higher surface pressures. At pure DPPC monolayers, scPLD is activated after the segregation of initially formed PA. Furthermore, scPLD is inhibited when the lipids in the PA-rich domains adopt an upright orientation. This phenomenon offers a self-regulating mechanism for the concentration of the second messenger PA within biological membranes.

Abstract
The chronicity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients is characterized by overproduction of the exopolysaccharide alginate, in which biofilm bacteria are embedded. Alginate apparently contributes to the antibiotic resistance of bacteria in this form by acting as a diffusion barrier to positively charged antimicrobial agents. We have been investigating cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAPs) (prototypic sequence: KKAAAXAAAAAXAAWAAXAAAKKKK-NH(2), where X is any of the 20 commonly occurring amino acids) that were originally designed as transmembrane mimetic peptides. Peptides of this group above a specific hydrophobicity threshold insert spontaneously into membranes and have antibacterial activity at micromolar concentrations. While investigating the molecular basis of biofilm resistance to peptides, we found that the anionic alginate polysaccharide induces conformational changes in the most hydrophobic of these peptides typically associated with insertion of such peptides into membrane environments [Chan et al., J. Biol. Chem. (2004) vol. 279, pp. 38749-38754]. Through a combination of experiments measuring release of the fluorescent dye calcein from phospholipid vesicles, peptide interactions with vesicles in the presence and absence of alginate, and affinity of peptides for alginate as a function of net peptide core hydrophobicity, we show here that alginate offers a microenvironment that provides a protective mechanism for the encased bacteria by both binding and promoting the self-association of the CAPs. The overall results indicate that hydrophilic alginate polymers contain a significant hydrophobic compartment, and behave as an 'auxiliary membrane' for bacteria, thus identifying a unique protective role for biofilm exopolysaccharide matrices.

Abstract
Streptomyces chromofuscus phospholipase D (PLD) is secreted by the bacterium and proteolytically cleaved to a more active form (PLD(37/18)) where the two parts of the molecule are still tightly associated. Based on previous sequencing results of authentic PLD(37/18), we have constructed a vector consisting of separate ORFs for the N-terminal and C-terminal portions of S. chromofuscus PLD and overexpressed active heterodimeric PLD. Neither fragment cloned separately folded properly. The identity of each peptide was confirmed by peptide-mass fingerprinting with MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The recombinant complex had a specific activity about six times higher than that of the recombinant intact PLD enzyme and was no longer activated by phosphatidic acid (PA). Phosphotransferase activity, binding affinity to phospholipid vesicles, loss of product activation, pH profile and pH-related Ca(2+) activation and inhibition were comparable to authentic PLD(37/18) purified from S. chromofuscus growth medium. PLD(37) alone could also be isolated; the enzyme was active but not as stable as PLD(37/18). These experimental results strongly support the hypothesis that the C-terminal peptide is necessary for correct folding and insertion of catalytic metal ions. However, they suggest the ligands involved in Fe(3+) coordination must be altered upon cleavage of the protein. Asp389, in the C-terminal fragment, whose replacement impairs Fe(3+) binding to the protein, must be replaced by another ligand, since the N-terminal fragment, once folded, is active. In the process of cloning the two peptides, the complete signal sequence for this protein was also determined. The signal peptide of S. chromofuscus PLD enzyme contained a twin arginine motif suggesting that S. chromofuscus PLD, like Bacillus subtilis phoD, is most likely secreted by the TAT translocation pathway under the transcriptional control of the pho regulon.

Abstract
Monolayers of mixtures of 1,2-dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) as the substrate and 1,2-dipalmitoylphosphatidic acid (DPPA) as the product of the hydrolysis reaction catalyzed by phospholipase D (PLD) were investigated in the presence of Ca2+. The miscibility behavior and the microstructure of mixed domains have been studied by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD), Brewster angle microscopy and film balance measurements. The phase diagram reveals partial miscibility on both sides and a wide miscibility gap, which becomes narrower at high pressure. At low pressure, the segregation of condensed DPPA-rich domains in a fluid-like DPPC matrix was detected already at small DPPA concentrations and their structure was determined. A small amount of DPPC mixed into the segregated DPPA domains induces the transformation from rectangular to an oblique unit cell and increases the tilt angle in the condensed domains. At high pressure, two types of condensed phase domains were found: DPPC-rich and DPPA-rich. A drastic reduction of the tilt angle in the DPPC-rich domains with increasing amount of DPPA was observed. The decrease of the tilt angle must be connected with a change of the head group conformation of DPPC in such mixed domains.

Abstract
Bacillus thuringiensis phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC), a bacterial model for the catalytic domain of mammalian PI-PLC enzymes, was cross-linked by 1-ethyl-3-[3-dimethylaminopropyl]carbodiimide hydrochloride to probe for the aggregation and/or conformational changes of PI-PLC when bound to activating phosphatidylcholine (PC) interfaces. Dimers and higher order multimers (up to 31% of the total protein when cross-linked at pH 7) were observed when the enzyme was cross-linked in the presence of PC vesicles. Aggregates were also detected with PI-PLC bound to diheptanoyl-PC (diC(7)PC) micelles, although the fraction of cross-linked multimers (19% at pH 7) was lower than when the enzyme was cross-linked in the presence of vesicles. PI-PLC cross-linked in the presence of a diC(7)PC interface exhibited an enhanced specific activity for PI cleavage. The extent of this cross-linking-enhanced activation was reduced in PI-PLC mutants lacking either tryptophan in the rim (W47A and W242A) of this (betaalpha)(8)-barrel protein. The higher activity of the native protein cross-linked in the presence of diC(7)PC correlated with an increased affinity of the protein for two diC(7)PC molecules as detected by matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. In contrast to wild type protein, W47A and W242A had only a single diC(7)PC tightly associated when cross-linked in the presence of that activator molecule. These results indicate that (i) each rim tryptophan residue is involved in binding a PC molecule at interfaces, (ii) the affinity of the enzyme for an activating PC molecule is enhanced when the protein is bound to a surface, and (iii) this conformation of the enzyme with at least two PC bound that is stabilized by chemical cross-linking interacts more effectively with activating interfaces, leading to higher observed specific activities for the phosphotransferase reaction.

Abstract
The phospholipase D from Streptomyces chromofuscus (PLDSc) is a soluble enzyme that interacts with membranes to catalyse phosphatidylcholine (PC) transformation. In this work, we focused on the interaction between PLDSc and two lipid activators: a neutral lipid, diacylglycerol (DAG), and an anionic one, phosphatidic acid (PA). DAG is a naturally occurring alcohol, so it is a potent nucleophile for the transphosphatidylation reaction catalysed by PLD. Concerning PA, it is a widely described activator of PLDSc-catalysed hydrolysis of PC. The monolayer technique allowed us to define PLDSc interaction with DAG and PA. In the case of DAG, the results suggest an insertion of PLDSc within the acyl chains of the lipid with an exclusion pressure of approximately 45 mN/m. PLDSc-DAG interaction seemed to occur preferentially with the lipid in the liquid-expanded (LE) phase. PLDSc interaction with PA was found to be more effective at high surface pressures. The overall results obtained with PA show a preferential interaction of the protein with condensed PA domains. No exclusion pressure could be found for PLDSc-PA interaction indicating only superficial interaction with the polar head of this lipid. Brewster angle microscopy (BAM) images were acquired in order to confirm these results and to visualise the patterns induced by PLDSc adsorption.

Abstract
Phospholipase D from Streptomyces chromofuscus (sc-PLD) is a member of the diverse family of metallo-phosphodiesterase/phosphatase enzymes that also includes purple acid phosphatases, protein phosphatases, and nucleotide phosphodiesterases. Whereas iron is an essential cofactor for scPLD activity, Mn2+ is also found in the enzyme. A third metal ion, Ca2+, has been shown to enhance scPLD catalytic activity although it is not an essential cofactor. Sequence alignment of scPLD with known phosphodiesterases and phosphatases requiring metal ions suggested that His-212, Glu-213, and Asp-389 could be involved in Mn2+ binding. H212A, E213A, and D389A were prepared to test this hypothesis. These three mutant enzymes and wild type scPLD show similar metal content but considerably different catalytic properties, suggesting different roles for each residue. His-212 appears involved in binding the phosphate group of substrates, whereas Glu-213 acts as a ligand for Ca2+. D389A showed a greatly reduced phosphodiesterase activity but almost unaltered ability to hydrolyze the phosphate group in p-nitrophenyl phosphate suggesting it had a critical role in aligning groups at the active site to control phosphodiesterase versus phosphatase activities. We propose a model for substrate and cofactor binding to the catalytic site of scPLD based on these results and on sequence alignment to purple acid phosphatases of known structure.

Abstract
The phospholipase D (PLD) from Streptomyces chromofuscus belongs to the superfamily of PLDs. All the enzymes included in this superfamily are able to catalyze both hydrolysis and transphosphatidylation activities. However, S. chromofuscus PLD is calcium dependent and is often described as an enzyme with weak transphosphatidylation activity. S. chromofuscus PLD-catalyzed hydrolysis of phospholipids in aqueous medium leads to the formation of phosphatidic acid. Previous studies have shown that phosphatidic acid-calcium complexes are activators for the hydrolysis activity of this bacterial PLD. In this work, we investigated the influence of diacylglycerols (naturally occurring alcohols) as candidates for the transphosphatidylation reaction. Our results indicate that the transphosphatidylation reaction may occur using diacylglycerols as a substrate and that the phosphatidylalcohol produced can be directly hydrolyzed by PLD. We also focused on the surface pressure dependency of PLD-catalyzed hydrolysis of phospholipids. These experiments provided new information about PLD activity at a water-lipid interface. Our findings showed that classical phospholipid hydrolysis is influenced by surface pressure. In contrast, phosphatidylalcohol hydrolysis was found to be independent of surface pressure. This latter result was thought to be related to headgroup hydrophobicity. This work also highlights the physiological significance of phosphatidylalcohol production for bacterial infection of eukaryotic cells.

Abstract
A kinetic comparison of the hydrolase and transferase activities of two bacterial phospholipase D (PLD) enzymes with little sequence homology provides insights into mechanistic differences and also the more general role of Ca(2+) in modulating PLD reactions. Although the two PLDs exhibit similar substrate specificity (phosphatidylcholine preferred), sensitivity to substrate aggregation or Ca(2+), and pH optima are quite distinct. Streptomyces sp. PMF PLD, a member of the PLD superfamily, generates both hydrolase and transferase products in parallel, consistent with a mechanism that proceeds through a covalent phosphatidylhistidyl intermediate where the rate-limiting step is formation of the covalent intermediate. For Streptomyces chromofuscus PLD, the two reactions exhibit different pH profiles, a result consistent with a mechanism likely to involve direct attack of water or an alcohol on the phosphorus. Ca(2+), not required for monomer or micelle hydrolysis, can activate both PLDs for hydrolysis of PC unilamellar vesicles. In the case of Streptomyces sp. PMF PLD, Ca(2+) relieves product inhibition by interactions with the phosphatidic acid (PA). A similar rate enhancement could occur with other HxKx(4)D-motif PLDs as well. For S. chromofuscus PLD, Ca(2+) is absolutely critical for binding of the enzyme to PC vesicles and for PA activation. That the Ca(2+)-PA activation involves a discreet site on the protein is suggested by the observation that the identity of the C-terminal residue in S. chromofuscus PLD can modulate the extent of product activation.

Abstract
The interactions of PI-PLC with nonsubstrate zwitterionic [phosphatidylcholine (PC)] and anionic [phosphatidylmethanol (PMe), phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylglycerol, and phosphatidic acid] interfaces that affect the catalytic activity of PI-PLC have been examined. PI-PLC binding is strongly coupled to vesicle curvature and is tighter at acidic pH for all of the phospholipids examined. PI-PLC binds to small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs) of anionic lipids with much higher affinity (K(d) is 0.01-0.07 microM for a site consisting of n = 100 +/- 25 lipids when analyzed with a Langmuir adsorption isotherm) than to zwitterionic PC SUVs (K(d) is 5-20 microM and n = 8 +/- 3). The binding to PC surfaces is dominated by hydrophobic interactions, while binding to anionic surfaces is dominated by electrostatic interactions. The contributions of specific cationic side chains and hydrophobic groups at the rim of the alpha beta-barrel to zwitterionic and anionic vesicle binding have been assessed with mutagenesis. The results are used to explain how PC activates the enzyme for both phosphotransferase and cyclic phosphodiesterase activities.

Abstract
O-(n-alkyl)-N-(N,N'-dimethylethyl)phosphoramidates (n=6, 8, and 10; CnPNC) were synthesized and characterized as inhibitors of phospholipase D (PLD) activity toward phosphatidylcholine presented as monomers, micelles, and bilayers. Detailed studies with recombinant Streptomyces chromofuscus PLD, a Ca(2+)-activated enzyme that does not show large changes in catalytic activity toward the same substrate as a monomer or micelle, showed that the longer the inhibitor chain length, the more potent CnPNC is as a competitive inhibitor toward all the substrates. However, the physical state of the inhibitor did affect the maximum inhibition attainable. For a fixed concentration of diC4PC (monomer substrate), CnPNC inhibition reached a maximum around the CMC of the inhibitor; the inhibition was reduced at higher inhibitor concentrations, in part caused by the lower solubility of the aggregated inhibitor. With diC4PC as the substrate and using concentrations of C10PNC that were below its CMC, the Ki for C10PNC was 0.030+/-0.003 mM, approximately 13-fold less than the Km for substrate. Aggregated substrates showed significant inhibition of PLD by CnPNC, although as the substrate chain length increased, inhibition by a given CnPNC was diminished. With POPC vesicles, the apparent Ki for C10PNC was 0.030 of the apparent Km. The availability of these inhibitors allowed us to show that PC analogues can bind to the active site of S. chromofuscus PLD in the absence of Ca2+. Once bound at the active site, the inhibitor does not significantly affect the divalent ion-dependent partitioning of the enzyme to PC surfaces. Of the two other PLD enzymes examined, cabbage PLD, but not Streptomyces sp. PMF, was able to catalyze the cleavage of the P-N bond. Differential susceptibility of PLDs to these phosphoramidates may eventually be useful in studying PLD isozymes in cells.

Abstract
The phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C from Bacillus thuringiensis can be activated by nonsubstrate interfaces such as phosphatidylcholine micelles or bilayers. This activation corresponds with partial insertion into the interface of two tryptophans, Trp-47 in helix B and Trp-242 in a loop, in the rim of the alphabeta-barrel. Both W47A and W242A have much weaker binding to interfaces and considerably lower kinetic interfacial activation. Tryptophan rescue mutagenesis, reinsertion of a tryptophan at a different place in helix B in the W47A mutant or in the loop (residues 232-244) of the W242A mutant, has been used to determine the importance and orientation of a tryptophan in these two structural features. Phosphotransferase and phosphodiesterase assays, and binding to phosphatidylcholine vesicles were used to assess both orientation and position of tryptophans needed for interfacial activity. Of the helix B double mutants, only one mutant, I43W/W47A, has tryptophan in the same orientation as Trp-47. I43W/W47A shows recovery of phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PC) activation of d-myo-inositol 1,2-cyclic phosphate hydrolysis. However, the specific activity toward phosphatidylinositol is still lower than wild type enzyme and high activity with phosphatidylinositol solubilized in 30% isopropyl alcohol (a hallmark of the native enzyme) is lost. Reinserting a tryptophan at several positions in the loop composed of residues 232-244 partially recovers PC activation and affinity of the enzyme for lipid interfaces as well as activation by isopropyl alcohol. G238W/W242A shows an enhanced activation and affinity for PC interfaces above that of wild type. These results provide constraints on how this bacterial phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C binds to activating PC interfaces.

Abstract
Recombinant phospholipase D (PLD) from Streptomyces chromofuscus (scPLD) has been characterized using colorimetric assays, spectroscopic investigations, and site-directed mutagenesis. scPLD, which shows phosphodiesterase activity toward a wide variety of phospholipids and phosphatase activity toward p-nitrophenyl phosphate, exhibits a visible absorption band with lambda(max) at 570 nm. Metal ion analysis performed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy shows the presence of approximately 1 equivalent of iron, 0.27 equivalent of manganese, and 0.1 equivalent of zinc per mole of protein as isolated. The metal ion content coupled with the visible absorption feature is compatible with the presence of Fe(3+)-tyrosinate coordination. When scPLD was dialyzed against solutions containing Mn(2+), Zn(2+) or EDTA, the Fe(3+) content was reduced to variable extents, and the residual specific activity correlated well with the residual iron content. Sequence homology with metal ion binding motifs in known alkaline phosphatases and purple acid phosphatase from red kidney bean shows that most of the residues involved in metal ion coordination are conserved among all the sequences considered. Mutation of some of these conserved residues (C123A, D151A, Y154F, and H391A) produced enzymes lacking iron with dramatically reduced PLD activity but little change in secondary structure or ability to bind to small unilamellar vesicles of phosphatidylcholine (with Ba(2+)) or phosphatidic acid. We suggest that scPLD is a member of a family of phosphodiesterase/phosphatases with structural and mechanistic similarity to iron-dependent purple acid phosphatases.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD), an important enzyme involved in signal transduction in mammals, is also secreted by many microorganisms. A highly conserved HKD motif has been identified in most PLD homologs in the PLD superfamily. However, the Ca(2+)-dependent PLD from Streptomyces chromofuscus exhibits little homology to other PLDs. We have cloned (using DNA isolated from the ATCC type strain), overexpressed in Escherichia coli (two expression systems, pET-23a(+) and pTYB11), and purified the S. chromofuscus PLD. Based on attempts at sequence alignment with other known Ca(2+)-independent PLD enzymes from Streptomyces species, we mutated five histidine residues (His72, His171, His187, His200, His226) that could be part of variants of an HKD motif. Only H187A and H200A showed dramatically reduced activity. However, mutation of these histidine residues to alanine also significantly altered the secondary structure of PLD. Asparagine replacements at these positions yielded enzymes with structure and activity similar to the recombinant wild-type PLD. The extent of phosphatidic acid (PA) activation of PC hydrolysis by the recombinant PLD enzymes differed in magnitude from PLD purified from S. chromofuscus culture medium (a 2-fold activation rather than 4-5-fold). One of the His mutants, H226A, showed a 12-fold enhancement by PA, suggesting this residue is involved in the kinetic activation. Another notable difference of this bacterial PLD from others is that it has a single cysteine (Cys123); other Streptomyces Ca(2+)-independent PLDs have eight Cys involved in intramolecular disulfide bonds. Both C123A and C123S, with secondary structure and stability similar to recombinant wild-type PLD, exhibited specific activity reduced by 10(-5) and 10(-4). The Cys mutants still bound Ca(2+), so that it is likely that this residue is part of the active site of the Ca(2+)-dependent PLD. This would suggest that S. chromofuscus PLD is a member of a new class of PLD enzymes.

Abstract
The phospholipase D (PLD) from Streptomyces chromofuscus is a soluble enzyme known to be activated by the phosphatidic acid-calcium complexes. PLD-catalyzed hydrolysis of phospholipids in aqueous medium leads to the formation of phosphatidic acid (PA). Previous studies concluded on an allosteric activation of PLD by the PA-calcium complexes. In this work, the role of PA and calcium was investigated in terms of membrane structure and dynamics. The role of calcium in PLD partitioning between the soluble phase and the water-lipid interface was tested. The monomolecular film technique was used to measure both membrane dynamics and PLD activity. These experiments provided information on PLD activity at a water-lipid interface. Moreover, the ability of PA to enhance PLD activity toward phosphatidylcholine was correlated to the physical properties of PA itself, affecting the rheology of the membrane. The effect of calcium was investigated on PLD binding to lipids and on the catalytic process by competition experiments between a soluble and a vesicular substrate. These experiments confirmed the absolute PLD requirement for calcium and pointed out the importance of calcium for PLD catalytic process and for the enzyme location at the water-lipid interface.

Abstract
The phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) from Bacillus thuringiensis exhibits several types of interfacial activation. In the crystal structure of the closely related Bacillus cereus PI-PLC, the rim of the active site is flanked by a short helix B and a loop that show an unusual clustering of hydrophobic amino acids. Two of the seven tryptophans in PI-PLC are among the exposed residues. To test the importance of these residues in substrate and activator binding, we prepared several mutants of Trp-47 (in helix B) and Trp-242 (in the loop). Two other tryptophans, Trp-178 and Trp-280, which are not near the rim, were mutated as controls. Kinetic (both phosphotransferase and cyclic phosphodiesterase activities), fluorescence, and vesicle binding analyses showed that both Trp-47 and Trp-242 residues are important for the enzyme to bind to interfaces, both activating zwitterionic and substrate anionic surfaces. Partitioning of the enzyme to vesicles is decreased more than 10-fold for either W47A or W242A, and removal of both tryptophans (W47A/W242A) yields enzyme with virtually no affinity for phospholipid surfaces. Replacement of either tryptophan with phenylalanine or isoleucine has moderate effects on enzyme affinity for surfaces but yields a fully active enzyme. These results are used to describe how the enzyme is activated by interfaces.

Abstract
The stimulation of cells with many extracellular agonists leads to the activation of phospholipase (PL)D. PLD metabolizes phosphatidylcholine to generate phosphatidic acid (PA). Neither the mechanism through which cell surface receptors regulate PLD activation nor the functional consequences of PLD activity in mitogenic signaling are completely understood. PLD is activated by protein kinase C, phospholipids, and small GTPases of the ADP-ribosylation factor and Rho families, but the mechanisms linking cell surface receptors to the activation of PLD still require detailed analysis. Furthermore, the latest data on the functional consequences of the generation of cellular PA suggest an important role for this lipid in the regulation of membrane traffic and on the activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade. This review addresses these issues, examining some novel models for the physiological role of PLD and PA and discussing their potential usefulness as specific targets for the development of new therapies.

Abstract
Ca(2+)-dependent phospholipase D is secreted from Streptomyces chromofuscus as an intact enzyme of 57 kDa (PLD(57)). Under certain growth conditions, PLD is proteolytically cleaved and activated to form PLD(42/20) (named for the apparent size of the peptides). The PLD(42) catalytic core and 20 kDa C-terminal domain remain tightly associated through noncovalent interactions. In the presence of Ba(2+) (to enhance protein binding to zwitterionic vesicles without hydrolysis of substrate), PLD(42/20), but not PLD(57), induces POPC vesicle leakiness as measured by entrapped CF leakage. PLD(42/20) also induces vesicle fusion (as measured by light scattering, fluorescence quenching, and cryo-TEM) under these conditions (1 mM POPC, 5 mM Ba(2+)); neither PLD(42) nor PLD(20) alone can act as a fusogen. For intact PLD(57) to cause CF leakiness, the soluble activator diC(4)PA must be present. However, even with diC(4)PA, PLD(57) does not induce significant vesicle fusion. In the absence of metal ions, all PLD forms bind to PC vesicles doped with 10 mol % PA. Again, only PLD(42/20) is fusogenic and causes aggregation and fusion on a rapid time scale. Taken together, these data suggest that activated PLD(42/20) inserts more readily into the lipid bilayer than other PLD forms and creates structures that allow bilayers to fuse. Cleavage of the PLD(57) by a secreted protease to generate PLD(42/20) occurs in the late stages of S. chromofuscus cell cultures. Production of this more active and fusogenic enzyme may play a role in nutrient scavenging in stationary phase cultures.

Abstract
The hydrolysis of 1,2-dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) catalyzed by Streptomyces chromofuscus phospholipase D (PLD) has been investigated using monolayer techniques and polarization-modulated infrared absorption reflection spectroscopy. The spectroscopic analysis of the phosphate groups provides a quantitative estimation of the hydrolysis yield. The hydrolysis kinetics was investigated in dependence on the phase state of the lipid monolayer. It was found that PLD exhibits maximum activity in the liquid-expanded phase, whereas PLA2 has its activity maximum in the two-phase region. A lag phase was observed in all experiments indicating that small amounts of the hydrolysis product 1,2-dipalmitoylphosphatidic acid (DPPA) are needed for initiating the fast hydrolysis reaction. Higher concentrations of DPPA inhibit the hydrolysis. The critical inhibition concentration of DPPA is a function of the monolayer pressure.
