SummaryAlthough lipid signaling has been shown to serve crucial roles in mammals and plants, little is known about this process in filamentous fungi. Here we analyse the contribution of phospholipase D (PLD) and its product phosphatidic acid (PA) in hyphal morphogenesis and growth of Epichloë festucae and Neurospora crassa, and in the establishment of a symbiotic interaction between E. festucae and Lolium perenne. Growth of E. festucae and N. crassa PLD deletion strains in axenic culture, and for E. festucae in association with L. perenne, were analysed by light-, confocal- and electron microscopy. Changes in PA distribution were analysed in E. festucae using a PA biosensor and the impact of these changes on endocytic recycling and superoxide production investigated. We found that E. festucae PldB and the N. crassa ortholog, PLA-7, are required for polarized growth, cell fusion and ascospore development, whereas PldA/PLA-8 are dispensable for these functions. Exogenous addition of PA rescues the cell-fusion phenotype in E. festucae. PldB is also crucial for E. festucae to establish a symbiotic association with L. perenne. This study identifies a new component of the cell-cell communication and cell fusion signaling network that controls hyphal morphogenesis and growth in filamentous fungi.

Human erythroleukaemia (HEL) cells were exposed to thrombin and other platelet-activating stimuli, and changes in radiolabelled phospholipid metabolism were measured. Thrombin caused a transient fall in PtdInsP and PtdInsP2 levels, accompanied by a rise in diacylglycerol and phosphatidic acid, indicative of a classical phospholipase C/diacylglycerol kinase pathway. However, the rise in phosphatidic acid preceded that of diacylglycerol, which is inconsistent with phospholipase C/diacylglycerol kinase being the sole source of phosphatidic acid. In the presence of ethanol, thrombin and other agonists (platelet-activating factor, adrenaline and ADP, as well as fetal-calf serum) stimulated the appearance of phosphatidylethanol, an indicator of phospholipase D activity. The Ca2+ ionophore A23187 and the protein kinase C activator phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) also elicited phosphatidylethanol formation, although A23187 was at least 5-fold more effective than PMA. Phosphatidylethanol production stimulated by agonists or A23187 was Ca2(+)-dependent, whereas that with PMA was not. These result suggest that phosphatidic acid is generated in agonist-stimulated HEL cells by two routes: phospholipase C/diacylglycerol kinase and phospholipase D. Activation of the HEL-cell phospholipase D in response to agonists may be mediated by a rise in intracellular Ca2+.

The effects of phorbol esters on phospholipase D activity were studied in C-6 glioma cells. The cell lipids were prelabelled with [3H]-glycerol or [14C]-arachidonic acid. Phosphatidylethanol was formed during stimulation with 100nM 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), when ethanol was present in the culture medium. After 30 minutes of stimulation, phosphatidylethanol constituted 2.6% of the [3H]-glycerol-labelled lipids. Stimulating the cells with TPA in the absence of ethanol caused a significant increase in labelled phosphatidic acid. This increase was inhibited by ethanol. The present findings demonstrate that TPA stimulates phospholipase D activity in cultured C-6 glioma cells.

1. The activity of phospholipase D (phosphatidylcholine phosphatidohydrolase, EC 3.1.4.4) towards ultrasonically treated phosphatidylcholine or large phosphatidylcholine particles activated with ether was maximal near pH5, and there was little activity above pH6. 2. When the enzyme was activated by the addition of phosphatidic acid to large phosphatidylcholine particles the pH optimum was shifted to pH6·5 irrespective of the amount of activator added. 3. When the enzyme was activated with low concentrations of dodecyl sulphate the pH optimum was 5·5 with little activity above pH6. With higher concentrations of dodecyl sulphate the pH–activity profile was shifted upwards towards a pH optimum of 6·5–6·6, the magnitude of the shift depending on the extent of the hydrolysis. 4. The shifts in the pH–activity profiles cannot be correlated with changes in the ‘surface pH’ of the substrate particles calculated from the measurement of their ζ-potentials (electrophoretic mobilities).

Mammalian cells contain different phospholipase D enzymes (PLDs) whose distinct physiological roles are poorly understood and whose products have not been characterized. The development of porcine aortic endothelial (PAE) cell lines able to overexpress PLD-1b or −2a under the control of an inducible promoter has enabled us to characterize both the substrate specificity and the phosphatidic acid (PtdOH) product of these enzymes under controlled conditions. Liquid chromatography–MS analysis showed that PLD1b- and PLD2a-transfected PAE cells, as well as COS7 and Rat1 cells, generate similar PtdOH and, in the presence of butan-1-ol, phosphatidylbutanol (PtdBut) profiles, enriched in mono- and di-unsaturated species, in particular 16:0/18:1. Although PtdBut mass increased, the species profile did not change in cells stimulated with ATP or PMA. Overexpression of PLD made little difference to basal or stimulated PtdBut formation, indicating that activity is tightly regulated in vivo and that factors other than just PLD protein levels limit hydrolytic function. In vitro assays using PLD-enriched lysates showed that the enzyme could utilize both phosphatidylcholine and, much less efficiently, phosphatidylethanolamine, with slight selectivity towards mono- and di-unsaturated species. Phosphatidylinositol was not a substrate. Thus PLD1b and PLD2a hydrolyse a structurally similar substrate pool to generate an identical PtdOH product enriched in mono- and di-unsaturated species that we propose to function as the intracellular messenger forms of this lipid.
