Phosphatidylethanol is formed by ‘transphosphatidylation’ of phospholipids with ethanol catalysed by phospholipase D and can be accumulated in the plasma membrane of mammalian cells after treatment of animals with ethanol. In the present work we show that phosphatidylalcohols, such as phosphatidylethanol and phosphatidylbutanol, produced a twofold stimulation of the Ca2+-ATPase activity of human erythrocytes. This stimulation occurs with the purified, solubilized enzyme as well as with ghost preparations, where the enzyme is in its natural lipidic environment and is different to that obtained with other acidic phospholipids such as phosphatidylserine. Addition of either phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylethanol or phosphatidylbutanol to the purified Ca2+-ATPase, or to ghosts preparations, increased the affinity of the enzyme for Ca2+ and the maximal velocity of the reaction as compared with controls in the absence of acidic phospholipids. However, in contrast with what occurs with phosphatidylserine, simultaneous addition of phosphatidylalcohols and calmodulin increased the affinity of the enzyme for Ca2+ to a greater extent than each added separately. When ethanol was added to either the purified erythrocyte Ca2+-ATPase or to erythrocyte-ghost preparations in the presence of acidic phospholipids, an additive effect was observed. There was an increase in the affinity for Ca2+ and in the maximal velocity of the reaction, well above the values obtained with ethanol or with the acidic phospholipids tested separately. These findings could have pharmacological importance. It is conceivable that the decrease in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration that has been reported in erythrocytes as a result of ethanol intoxication could be due to the stimulation of the Ca2+-ATPase by the accumulated phosphatidylethanol, to a direct effect of ethanol on the enzyme or to an additive combination of both.

In primary bovine adrenal glomerulosa cells, the signaling enzyme phospholipase D (PLD) is suggested to mediate priming, the enhancement of aldosterone secretion after pretreatment with and removal of angiotensin II (AngII), via the formation of persistently elevated diacylglycerol (DAG). To further explore PLD’s role in priming, glomerulosa cells were pretreated with an exogenous bacterial PLD. Using this approach, phosphatidic acid (PA) is generated on the outer, rather than the inner, leaflet of the plasma membrane. Although PA is not readily internalized, the PA is nonetheless rapidly hydrolyzed by cell-surface PA phosphatases to DAG, which efficiently flips to the inner leaflet and accesses the cell interior. Pretreatment with bacterial PLD resulted in priming upon subsequent AngII exposure, supporting a role of DAG in this process, because the increase in DAG persisted after exogenous PLD removal. To determine the PLD isoform mediating aldosterone secretion, and presumably priming, primary glomerulosa cells were infected with adenoviruses expressing GFP, PLD1, PLD2, or lipase-inactive mutants. Overexpressed PLD2 increased aldosterone secretion by approximately 3-fold over the GFP-infected control under basal conditions, with a significant enhancement to about 16-fold over the basal value upon AngII stimulation. PLD activity was also increased basally and upon stimulation with AngII. In contrast, PLD1 overexpression had little effect on aldosterone secretion, despite the fact that PLD activity was enhanced. In both cases, the lipase-inactive PLD mutants showed essentially no effect on PLD activity or aldosterone secretion. Our results suggest that PLD2 is the isoform that mediates aldosterone secretion and likely priming.

Treatment of red blood cells with calcium and ionomycin causes activation of the lipid scramblase, a putative membrane protein catalysing flip-flop of (phospho)lipids. Various fluorescent 1-oleoyl-2-[6(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)amino] caproyl (C6-NBD) analogues were tested for transbilayer movement across the plasma membrane of red blood cells. Among these phospholipid analogues were phosphatidylgalactose, phosphatidylmaltose and phosphatidylmaltotriose, which were obtained from C6-NBD-phosphatidylcholine by phospholipase D-catalysed transphosphatidylation. The inward movement after the onset of scrambling was monitored by extraction of the non-internalized probe with BSA. We demonstrate that both the amino group and the size of the headgroup determine the kinetics of lipid scrambling, and that lipids with a ceramide backbone migrate much more slowly than glycerophospholipids with the same headgroup.

Small GTPase Rac is a crucial regulator of actin cytoskeletal rearrangement, and it plays an important role in cell spreading, migration, mitogenesis, phagocytosis, superoxide generation, and axonal growth. It is generally accepted that Rac activity is regulated by the guanosine triphosphate (GTP)/guanosine diphosphate (GDP) cycle. But, it is suggested that in addition to Rac-GTP loading, membrane localization is required for the initiation of downstream effector signaling. However, the molecular mechanisms that control the targeting of GTP-Rac to the plasma membrane remain largely unknown. Here, we have uncovered a signaling pathway linking phospholipase D (PLD) to the localized functions of Rac1. We show that PLD product phosphatidic acid (PA) acts as a membrane anchor of Rac1. The C-terminal polybasic motif of Rac1 is responsible for direct interaction with PA, and Rac1 mutated in this region is incapable of translocating to the plasma membrane and of activating downstream target p21-activated kinase upon integrin activation. Finally, we show that PA induces dissociation of Rho-guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor from Rac1 and that PA-mediated Rac1 localization is important for integrin-mediated lamellipodia formation, cell spreading, and migration. These results provide a novel molecular mechanism for the GTP-Rac1 localization through the elevating PLD activity, and they suggest a general mechanism for diverse cellular functions that is required localized Rac activation.

Phospholipase D (PLD) is responsible for the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine to produce phosphatidic acid and choline. Human neutrophils contain PLD activity which is regulated by the small GTPases, ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) and Rho proteins. In this study we have examined the subcellular localization of the ARF-regulated PLD activity in non-activated neutrophils and cells ‘primed‘ with N-formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMetLeuPhe). We report that PLD activity is localized at the secretory vesicles in control cells and is mobilized to the plasma membrane upon stimulation with fMetLeuPhe. We conclude that the ARF-regulated PLD activity is translocated to the plasma membrane by secretory vesicles upon stimulation of neutrophils with fMetLeuPhe in inflammatory/priming doses. We propose that this relocalization of PLD is important for the subsequent events occurring during neutrophil activation.
