Identification of a phosphoinositide binding motif that mediates activation of mammalian and yeast phospholipase D isoenzymes.

چکیده
Phosphoinositides are both substrates for second messenger-generating enzymes and spatially localized membrane signals that mediate vital steps in signal transduction, cytoskeletal regulation and membrane trafficking. Phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase D (PLD) activity is stimulated by phosphoinositides, but the mechanism and physiological requirement for such stimulation to promote PLD-dependent cellular processes is not known. To address these issues, we have identified a site at which phosphoinositides interact with PLD and have assessed the role of this region in PLD function. This interacting motif contains critical basic amino acid residues that are required for stimulation of PLD activity by phosphoinositides. Although PLD alleles mutated at this site fail to bind to phosphoinositides in vitro, they are membrane-associated and properly localized within the cell but are inactive against cellular lipid substrates. Analogous mutations of this site in yeast PLD, Spo14p, result in enzymes that localize normally, but with catalytic activity that has dramatically reduced responsiveness to phosphoinositides. The level of responsiveness to phosphoinositides in vitro correlated with the ability of PLD to function in vivo. Taken together, these results provide the first evidence that phosphoinositide regulation of PLD activity observed in vitro is physiologically important in cellular processes in vivo including membrane trafficking and secretion.

Dual role for phosphoinositides in regulation of yeast and mammalian phospholipase D enzymes
Phospholipase D (PLD) generates lipid signals that coordinate membrane trafficking with cellular signaling. PLD activity in vitro and in vivo is dependent on phosphoinositides with a vicinal 4,5-phosphate pair. Yeast and mammalian PLDs contain an NH2-terminal pleckstrin homology (PH) domain that has been speculated to specify both subcellular localization and regulation of PLD activity through ...

Generation of PA (phosphatidic acid) by PLD (phospholipase D)-catalysed hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine plays a pivotal role in cellular signalling pathways that regulate organization of the actin cytoskeleton, vesicular transport and exocytosis and stimulation of cell growth and survival. PLD regulation and function are intimately linked with phosphoinositide metabolism. Phosphatidyl 4-phosp...
متن کاملRole of phospholipases during sperm acrosomal exocytosis.
During fertilization the spermatozoon undergoes a process of regulated exocytosis triggered by oocyte-associated agonists. An early response generated by agonist-receptor interaction in spermatozoa is the activation of mechanisms leading to Ca2+ influx, this ion being essential for the activation of phospholipases and for the fusion of the plasma membrane with the outer acrosomal membrane. Both...
متن کاملIdentification of PLC210, a Caenorhabditis elegans phospholipase C, as a putative effector of Ras.
Mammalian Ras proteins regulate multiple effectors including Raf, Ral guanine nucleotide dissociation stimulator (RalGDS), and phosphoinositide 3-kinase. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, LIN-45 Raf has been identified by genetic analyses as an effector of LET-60 Ras. To search for other effectors in C. elegans, we performed a yeast two-hybrid screening for LET-60-binding proteins. The sc...
متن کاملPhosphoinositide 3-kinase-dependent regulation of phospholipase Cgamma.
Activation of the enzyme PLC (phospholipase C) leads to the formation of second messengers Ins(1,4,5)P(3) and diacylglycerol. RTKs (receptor tyrosine kinases) activate this reaction through PLCgamma isoenzymes. It has been shown that PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase) may regulate PLCgamma activity through the interaction of PI3K product PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) and the PLCgamma PH domain (pleckstrin ho...
