Receptor-regulated phospholipase D (PLD) is a key signaling pathway implicated in the control of fundamental biological processes. Here evidence is presented that in addition to protein kinase C (PKC) and Rho GTPases, Ca(2+) response evoked by sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) also participates to the enzyme regulation. Ca(2+) was found critical for PKC(alpha)-mediated PLD activation. Moreover, S1P-induced PLD activity resulted diminished by calmodulin inhibitors such as W-7 and CGS9343B implicating its involvement in the process. A plausible candidate for Ca(2+)-dependent PLD regulation by S1P was represented by calcineurin, in view of the observed reduction of the stimulatory effect by cyclosporin A. In contrast, monomeric GTP-binding protein Ral was translocated to membranes by S1P in a Ca(2+)-independent manner, ruling out its possible role in agonist-mediated regulation of PLD.
受体调节型磷脂酶D(PLD)是参与控制基本生物学过程的关键信号通路。本文提供的证据表明,除蛋白激酶C(PKC)和Rho GTP酶外,1-磷酸鞘氨醇(S1P)引发的Ca(2+)反应也参与该酶的调节。发现Ca(2+)对PKC(α)介导的PLD激活至关重要。此外,诸如W-7和CGS9343B等钙调蛋白抑制剂使S1P诱导的PLD活性降低,这表明其参与了该过程。鉴于观察到环孢菌素A可降低刺激作用,钙调神经磷酸酶可能是S1P对Ca(2+)依赖性PLD调节的一个合理候选者。相反,单体GTP结合蛋白Ral以不依赖Ca(2+)的方式被S1P转运至细胞膜,排除了其在激动剂介导的PLD调节中的可能作用。
