植物PLC-DGK/PA途径介导的渗透胁迫应答反应

肌醇磷脂依赖的磷脂酶C(PLC)是经典肌醇磷脂信号系统的重要组分,它分解二磷酸磷脂酰肌醇分子(PIP2)产生双信使IP3和DAG分子。动物细胞中DAG激活蛋白激酶C(PKC)参与调节多种细胞功能。植物基因组中缺乏PKC的同源序列,DAG被二酰甘油激酶(DGK)进一步磷酸化形成磷脂酸(PA),形成新的植物特有的第二信使分子。酶蛋白PLC和DGK及其作用的底物和产物形成植物特色的信号途径,该信号途径在植物对非生物和生物胁迫的反应中发挥重要作用。该文从蛋白信号分子的表达特征和脂质信号分子的含量变化等两个方面综述了植物特色的肌醇信号途径PLC-DGK/PA在应答渗透胁迫反应中的作用。除了PLC-DG活性外,PA也可由磷脂酶D(PLD)产生。该文还对两种途径产生的PA进行了讨论。

儿茶素是一种可以短时间内杀死植物细胞的植物毒素,由于具有强的植物毒性,儿茶素是开发除草剂的理想化合物,它可以诱导植物根系统的死亡.为了研究植物根细胞膜脂对化学胁迫的响应规律,我们运用高通量的脂类组学方法检测了拟南芥根中膜脂分子的组成,比较了儿茶素处理下拟南芥野生型(WS)及磷脂酶Dδ缺失突变体( PLDδ-KO)根中膜脂分子的组成情况、膜脂含量、双键指数及碳链长度值.结果发现,儿茶素处理拟南芥根90 min后,二半乳糖基二酰甘油(DGDG)、单半乳糖基二酰甘油(MGDG)、磷脂酰甘油(PG)、磷脂酰胆碱(PC)及磷脂酰肌醇(PI)的总含量在WS与PLDδ-KO植株根中都显著下降,磷脂酰乙醇胺(PE)和磷脂酰丝氨酸(PS)在WS中下降,在PLDδ-KO中上升.儿茶素处理导致PLDδ-KO植株的PC/PE比值显著下降,WS植株PS碳链长度显著增加.上述结果说明儿茶素处理后,磷脂酶Dδ缺失突变体膜不稳定性增加,PLDδ-KO植株对儿茶素胁迫更加敏感.     

佛波酯诱导一种新的磷脂酶D酶解产物的生成

在人肺癌表面细胞株A－549中检测到佛波酯诱导的丁醇化鞘脂分子的产生。用[^3H]－丝氨酸标记细胞,其放射性在磷脂酰胆碱、磷脂酰丝氨酸、磷脂酰乙醇胺极性头部的分布很容易被检测到,而在磷脂酸及其直接代谢衍生物中并不存在,提示这种磷脂酶D的酶解产物来源于鞘脂分子的水解,而不同于以甘油磷脂为底物的磷脂酶D的酶解产物。蛋白激酶C的抑制剂或通过佛波酯长时间处理下调细胞内蛋白激酶C水平,可抑制佛波酯诱导的丁酯化鞘脂分子的产生,表明导致这种磷脂酶D的活化需要蛋白激酶C的参与。

Phospholipase D regulation and localisation is dependent upon a phosphatidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate-specific PH domain

The signalling pathway leading, for example, to actin cytoskeletal reorganisation, secretion or superoxide generation involves phospholipase D (PLD)-catalysed hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine to generate phosphatidic acid, which appears to mediate the messenger functions of this pathway. Two PLD genes (PLD1 and PLD2) with similar domain structures have been doned and progress has been made in identifying the protein regulators of PLD1 activation, for example Arf and Rho family members. The activities of both PLD isoforms are dependent on phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) and our sequence analysis suggested the presence of a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain in PLD1, although its absence has also been daimed. Investigation of the inositide dependence showed that a bis-phosphorylated lipid with a vicinal pair of phosphates was required for PLD1 activity. Furthermore, PLD1 bound specifically and with high affinity to lipid surfaces containing PI(4,5)P2 independently of the substrate phosphatidylcholine, suggesting a key role for the PH domain in PLD function. Importantly, a glutathione-S-transferase (GST) fusion protein comprising GST and the PH domain of PLD1 (GST-PLD1-PH) also bound specifically to supported lipid monolayers containing PI(4,5)P2. Point mutations within the PLD1 PH domain inhibited enzyme activity, whereas deletion of the domain both inhibited enzyme activity and disrupted normal PLD1 localisation. Thus, the functional PH domain regulates PLD by mediating its interaction with polyphosphoinositide-containing membranes; this might also induce a conformational change, thereby regulating catalytic activity.     

Interactome Analysis of Human Phospholipase D and Phosphatidic Acid-Associated Protein Network

Mammalian phospholipase D (PLD) enzyme family consists of six members. Among them, PLD1/2/6 catalyzes phosphatidic acid (PA) production, while PLD3/4/5 has no catalytic activities. Deregulation of the PLD-PA lipid signaling has been associated with various human diseases including cancer. However, a comprehensive analysis of the regulators and effectors for this crucial lipid metabolic pathway has not been fully achieved. Using a proteomic approach, we defined the protein interaction network for the human PLD family of enzymes and PA and revealed diverse cellular signaling events involving them. Through it, we identified PJA2 as a novel E3 ubiquitin ligase for PLD1 involved in control of the PLD1-mediated mammalian target of rapamycin signaling. Additionally, we showed that PA interacted with and positively regulated sphingosine kinase 1. Taken together, our study not only generates a rich interactome resource for further characterizing the human PLD-PA lipid signaling but also connects this important metabolic pathway with numerous biological processes.     

Suppression of phospholipase Dγs confers increased aluminum resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana

Aluminum (Al) toxicity is the major stress in acidic soil that comprises about 50% of the world's arable land. The complex molecular mechanisms of Al toxicity have yet to be fully determined. As a barrier to Al entrance, plant cell membranes play essential roles in plant interaction with Al, and lipid composition and membrane integrity change significantly under Al stress. Here, we show that phospholipase Dγs (PLDγs) are induced by Al stress and contribute to Al-induced membrane lipid alterations. RNAi suppression of PLDγ resulted in a decrease in both PLDγ1 and PLDγ2 expression and an increase in Al resistance. Genetic disruption of PLDγ1 also led to an increased tolerance to Al while knockout of PLDγ2 did not. Both RNAi-suppressed and pldγ1-1 mutants displayed better root growth than wild-type under Al stress conditions, and PLDγ1-deficient plants had less accumulation of callose, less oxidative damage, and less lipid peroxidation compared to wild-type plants. Most phospholipids and glycolipids were altered in response to Al treatment of wild-type plants, whereas fewer changes in lipids occurred in response to Al stress in PLDγ mutant lines. Our results suggest that PLDγs play a role in membrane lipid modulation under Al stress and that high activities of PLDγs negatively modulate plant tolerance to Al.

Interaction of the type Ialpha PIPkinase with phospholipase D: a role for the local generation of phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate in the regulation of PLD2 activity

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.     

Disruption of lipid rafts stimulates phospholipase d activity in human lymphocytes: implication in the regulation of immune function

Recent evidence suggests that phospholipase D (PLD) can be regulated through its association/dissociation to lipid rafts. We show here that modifying lipid rafts either by cholesterol depletion using methyl-beta-cyclodextrin and filipin or by conversion of sphingomyelin to ceramide with exogenous bacterial sphingomyelinase (bSMase) markedly activated the PLD of human PBMC. bSMase was the most potent PLD activator, giving maximal 6- to 7-fold increase in PLD activity. Triton X-100-treated lysates prepared from control PBMC and from bSMase-treated cells were fractionated by centrifugation on sucrose density gradient. We observed that bSMase treatment of the cells induced a larger ceramide increase in raft than in nonraft membranes and displaced both the Src kinase Lck and PLD1 out of the raft fractions. In addition, the three raft-modifying agents markedly inhibited the lymphoproliferative response to mitogenic lectin. To examine further the potential role of PLD activation in the control of lymphocyte responses, we transiently overexpressed either of the PLD1 and PLD2 isoforms in Jurkat cells and analyzed the phorbol ester plus ionomycin-induced expression of IL-2 mRNA, which is one of the early responses of lymphocyte to activation. We observed a 43% decrease of IL-2 mRNA level in Jurkat cells overexpressing PLD1 as compared with mock- or PLD2-transfected cells, which indicates that elevated PLD1, but not PLD2, activity impairs lymphocyte activation. Altogether, the present results support the hypothesis that PLD1 is activated by exclusion from lipid rafts and that this activation conveys antiproliferative signals in lymphoid cells.     

Dynamics and function of phospholipase D and phosphatidic acid during phagocytosis

Phospholipase D (PLD) produces phosphatidic acid (PA), an established intracellular signalling lipid that has been also implicated in vesicular trafficking, and as such, PLD could play multiple roles during phagocytosis. Using an RNA interference strategy, we show that endogenous PLD1 and PLD2 are necessary for efficient phagocytosis in murine macrophages, in line with results obtained with wild-type constructs and catalytically inactive PLD mutants which, respectively, enhance and inhibit phagocytosis. Furthermore, we found that PA is transiently produced at sites of phagosome formation. Macrophage PLD1 and PLD2 differ in their subcellular distributions. PLD1 is associated with cytoplasmic vesicles, identified as a late endosomal/lysosomal compartment, whereas PLD2 localizes at the plasma membrane. In living cells undergoing phagocytosis, PLD1 vesicles are recruited to nascent and internalized phagosomes, whereas PLD2 is only observed on nascent phagosomes. These results provide evidence that both PLD isoforms are required for phagosome formation, but only PLD1 seems to be implicated in later stages of phagocytosis occurring after phagosomal internalization.
