Cloning of Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-Specific Phospholipase D cDNA from Human Bone Marrow Stromal Cells

To explore the structure and function of human glycosylphosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase D(GPI-PLD) cDNA, a GPI-PLD cDNA with the size of approximately 2.6 kb was cloned from human bone marrow stromal cells using RT-PCR. This target gene had a complete open reading frame coding a signal peptide of 23 amino acids and a mature peptide of 817 amino acids. Its nucleotide sequence analysis showed nearly 100% identity of nucleotide sequence to the reported human pancreatic sequence, and 95% identity of nucleotide sequence to the reported human liver sequence. Analysis of deduced amino acid sequence showed 94% identity of amino acid sequence to the reported human liver sequence. Moreover, the three human GPI-PLD cDNA sequences represented products of the same genomic gene which covered about 80 kb on chromosome 6.The comparative analysis showed that the genomic gene encoding GPI-PLD comprised of 25 exons. To observe the function of GPI-PLD cDNA, the cloned gene was ligated into the eukaryotic expression plasmid, pcDNA3.1(+), and the resulting plasmid, pcDNA3.1(+)/GPI-PLD, was introduced into G 9 cells which contained GPI-anchored PLAP but no GPI-PLD activity by liposome transfection. The results showed that nearly no GPI-PLD activity was detected in control groups whose PLAP activity was mainly distributed in the cell pellets, whereas high levels of GPI-PLD activity were discovered in the cells transfected with pcDNA3.1(+)/GPI-PLD. Furthermore, the majority of GPI-PLD activity was secreted into the culture supernatants with the remainder being associated with the cell pellets. A significant increase was observed in the amount of PLAP activity released into culture supernatants. The results suggested that the cloned GPI-PLD cDNA was biologically active which could release GPI-anchored proteins on the cell surface.
