  • A substrate specificity of cabbage phospholipase D (PLD) was studied using the synthetic phospholipids having different head groups. The phospholipids were synthesized from phosphatidylcholine and appropriate bases by transphosphatidylation of PLD. The bases used were ethanolamine, serine, ethanol and γ-hydroxybutyric acid. The phosphatidic acid, the product of PLD, was separated in TLC and measured densitometrically. The kinetic parameters were estimated for each substrate and the effects of pH, SDS, Ca2+ and other metal ions were examined. Vmax values found were 3.75, 2.36, 5.59, 1.63, 2.30 nmol/min/μg protein for phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylethanol, and phosphatidylburytic acid, respectively. These results indicate a broad specificity of cabbage PLD toward phospholipids with different head groups. Particularly phosphatidylserine was most easily hydrolyzed by PLD and its activity did not depend on Ca2+.

  • In order to screen microorganisms producing phopholipase D (PLD) had high transphosphatidylation activity, about 1,000 Actinomycetes strains were isolated from the 63 soil samples, collected over 6 local area in Korea. When the hydrolytic activity in the supernatant was determined, 131 strains produced PLD more than 0.3U/$m\ell$. Among 131 culture broths tested, 23 ones had transphosphatidylation activity higher than 20% and finally one strain (Actinomycetes KF923), which had highest hydrolytic and transphophadylation activity, was selected. Actinomycetes KF923 showed the highest hydrolytic activity (13U/$m\ell$) and phosphatidylation activity (95%) after 48 h fermentation using the P medium (yeast extract 1%, peptone 1%, glucose 1.5%, glycerol 1%, $CaCO_3$ 0.4%, pH 7.2). PLD was purified from the culture broth of Actinomycetes KF923 and the specific activity of purified PLD was 567U/mg. The molecular weight of PLD was about 55kD and the optimum pH and temperature were pH 6.0 and $60^{\circ}C$, respectively. The stability of PLD toward pH and temperature were high around pH 8.0 and below $40^{\circ}C$ Special metal ions were not necessary to the PLD activity.

  • Phospholipase D is a ubiquitous enzyme that plays an important role in various lipid mediated cellular signaling pathways and produces rare phospholipids, phosphatidylethanol or phosphatidylbutanol, instead of phosphatidic acid with unique catalytic activity transphosphatidylation in the presence of primary alcohols. The reaction products, phosphatidylethanol or phosphatidylbutanol are used as markers of in vitro phospholipase D activity in many studies. For the sensitive detection of the phospholipase D products, we developed an advanced lipid extraction method that facilitates recovery of the compounds. With the new method, the activity change of phosaholipase D by agonists could be detected more easily and the recovery rate was also increased. The increase of detected enzyme activity change was about double fold compared to the conventional lipid extraction method. This method provides selective force for the phospholipase D products in the extraction procedure.

  • By using guinea pig lung mast cells, this study aimed to examine the effects of Aloe component(NY945) on the mediator releases caused by mast cell activation, and also aimed to assess the effects of NY945 on the mechanism of mediator releases in the mast cell activation. We partially purified mast cells from guinea pig lung tissues by using the enzyme digestion, the rough and the discontinuous density percoll gradient method. Mast cells were sensitized with $IgG_1$ (anti-OA) and challenged with ovalbumin. Histamine was assayed by fluorometric analyzer, leukotrienes by radioimmunoassay The phospholipase D activity was assessed more directly by the production of labeled phosphatidylethanol or phosphatidylbutanol which was produced by phospholipase D-mediated transphosphatidylation in the presence of ethanol or butanol. The amount of mass 1,2-diacylglycerol was measured by the [$^3H$]1,2-diacylgycerol produced when prelabeled with [$^3H$]myristic acid. In the mast cells prelabeled with L-[$^3H$]methyl methionine the phospholipid methylation was assessed by measuring the incorporation of the [$^3H$]methyl moiety into phospholipids. Pretreatment of NY945(10$\mu$g) significantly decreased histamine and leukotrienes releases during mast cell activation. The decrease of histamine release was stronger than that of leukotrienes during mast cell activation. The phospholipase D activity increased by the mast cell activation was decreased by the dose-dependent manner in the pretreatment of NY945. The amount of mass 1,2-diacylglycerol produced by activation of mast cells were decreased in the pretreatment of NY945. NY945 pretreatment strongly inhibited the incorporation of the [$^3H$]methyl moiety into phospholipids. The data suggest that NY945 purified from Aloe inhibits in part an increase of 1,2-diacylglycerol which is produced by activating mast cells with antigen-antibody complexes which is mediated via phosphatidylcholine-phospholipise D and phosphatidylinositole-phospholipise C systems, and then followed by the inhibition of histamine release. Furthermore, NY945 reduces the phosphatidylcholine production by inhibiting the methyltransfsrase I and II, which decrease the conversion of phosphatidylcholine into arachidonic acid and inhibits the production of leukotrines.

  • 본 연구에서는 토끼신장 근위세뇨관 일차배양세포에서 브라디키닌의 생리작용이 phospholipase D (PLD)에 의해 매개되는지를 살펴 보기위해 PLD 효소반응의 특이한 성질인 transphosphatidylation 반응의 생성물인 phosphatidylethanol (PEth) 의 세포내 양을 측정함으로 PLD 효소의 관련성을 규명할 수 있었다. 시간경과에 따른 phosphatidic acid (PA) 및 diacylglycerol (DAG) 의 생성을 살펴본 결과 PA가 DAG보다 먼저 생성되어 최고치 (30초)에 도달하였고 DAG는 1분이후부터 5분까지 서서히 생성되는 양상을 나타내었다. 또한 0.5에서 5%까지의 에탄올 존재하에 PA 및 PE소 생성량을 비교해본 결과 에탄올량이 증가함에 따라 PA는 감소하는 반민 PEth 의 생성은 계속 증가하였다. 한편 브라디키닌 농도 변화 실험에서는 브라디키닌농도가 증가함에 따라 PA 및 PEth 둘다 생성이 증가되었다. 이러한 결과로부터 토끼신장 근위세뇨관 세포막에 존재하는 브라디키닌수용체는 브라디키닌에 의해 activation 시 PLD를 직접적으로 활성화시켜 그들의 작용을 세포내로 전달한다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 또한 PLD 효소활성의 activator로 수용체효능 제외에 칼슘이온, protein kinase C (PKC) 등이 몇몇 다른 실험에 의해 밝혀져 있고, G protein 역시 PLD 효소 활성을 조절하는 역할이 있음이 알려졌다. calcium ionophore 및 칼슘채널길항제인 verapamil을 이용한 실험에서 우리는 브라디키닌의 PLD 활성화는 칼슘이온에 의존적인 경로 및 비의존적인 경로가 같이 존재함을 알수 있었다. 또한 브라디키닌의 PLD 활성화기전이 PKC 의존적인지를 살펴보기위해 PKC activator(PMA) 및 inhibitor (staurosporine)를 이용한 실험에서 브라디키닌은 신장세포에서 PKC를 통하여 PLD를 활성화시킴으로 신호전달을 하는 것으로 추측되었다. 마지막으로 가수분해안되는 G protein 유도체인 GTPrS 및 G protein 활성물질 NaF, 백일해독소등을 이용한 실험에서 G protein 의 PLD 조절활성을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • We report the existence of new type of phosphatidylcholine-hydrolyzing phospholipase D (PLD), which has been characterized and partially purified in the scuticociliate, Uronema marinum. The enzyme from partial purification showed that it was existed in membrane fraction and was a neutral PLD, which catalyzed both transphosphatidylation and hydrolysis reaction. The activity of partially purified membrane-bound PLD was also found to be optimal at pH 7.0-7.5 for 2 hours at 37℃ and depended strictly on the presence of Ca2+ (2.5 mM) and Mg2+ (1.6 mM). Immunoblot analysis indicated that the enzyme was distinct from hPLD1 (human PLD1) and hPLD2 (human PLD2) because it was not recognized by a polyclonal antibody raised to the 12 terminal amino acid of these enzymes. We also found that the membrane-bound PLD is a PIP2-dependent PLD and that GTP-binding proteins are not implicated in the regulation of this enzyme: This enzyme activity is markedly stimulated by phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) but not by the small G-protein Arf and GTPrS. In addition, this enzyme was capable of hydrolyzing phosphatidylcholine (PC) but not phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), implying that PC was a preferred substrate.

  • In the present study, phosphatidylcholine (PC) hydrolyzing enzyme had been isolated from membrane of flounder liver. PC hydrolyzing enzyme solubilized in 1% Triton X -100 from membrane was partially purified by sequential chromatography on Heparin Sepharose CL-6B and Heparin-5PW columns. The products by membrane-bound hydrolyzing enzyme were identified as phosphatidic acid and choline, but in the presence of primary alcohol, phosphatidylethanol was produced at the expense of phosphatidic acid. These data suggest that membrane-bound enzyme may be a PC-phosphoipase D (PLD) type. The enzyme had pH optimum at below 6.0 and temperature optimum at $37^\circ{C}$. The activity of PC-PLD was dose-dependently increased by $Ca^{2+}$ but not $Mg^{2+}$. The activity of PC-PLD was stimulate by PC, PIP2 and PE.

  • Inflammatory diseases, allergic and asthmatic disorders are caused by the mediator release from the activation of the phospholipase C (PLC), phospholipase D (PLD), methyltransferase or adenylate cyclase etc. during IgG or IgE cross-linking of high affinity receptors on mast cells or basophil surface. One important enzyme activated after IgG or IgE receptor cross-linking is PLD, the enzyme which converts phosphatidylcholine (PC) to phosphatidic acid (PA). Under the hypothesis that these may be some differences in mediator release according to the difference in PLD activity, we attempted to confirm the ginseng saponin effects on the PLD activity. We examined the PLD activity during the passively sensitized mast cell activation in the presence of single component of ginsenosides $(Rc,\;Rg_1,\;Rg_2,\;Rg_3)$. We also measured the amount of mediators (histamine and leukotrienes) released by stimulating with ovalbumin (OA) or calcium ionophore (CaI), Guinea Pig lung mast cells were purified using enzyme digestion, count current elutriation, and discontinuous Percoll density gradient. In purified mast cells prelabeled with $[^3H]$ arachidonic acid or $[^3H]$ palmitic acid, PLD activity was assessed more directly by the production of labeled PEt by PLD-mediated transphosphatidylation in the presence of ethanol. Histanine release was determined by Spectrophotofluorometry, and leukotrienes by radioimmunoassay. The PLD activity during the passively sensitized mast cell activation is increased up to $3{\sim}5times$. The PLD activity during the passively sensitized mast cell activation in the presence of all ginsenosides is decreased up to $4{\sim}11$ times. $Rg_l\;and\;Rg_2$ ginsenoside pretreatment decreased histamine and leukotrienes by 50% in the OA-induced or by 40% in the Cal-induced mast cell after passively sensitization. Rc pretreatment poorly decreased histamine but leukotrienes decreased by 70% in the OA-induced or by 35% in the Cal-induced mast cell. $Rg_3$ ginsenoside pretreatment increased histamine release without challenging OA or Cal but leukotrienes decreased. These observations indicate that single unit of ginsenosldes may be an important contributor to inhibit the release of histamine and leukotrienes in the guinea pig lung mast cells, that inhibits the PLD-mediated formation of DAG evoked by mast cell activation.

  • We previously reported that some components of ginsenosides decreased mediator releases evoked by the activation of mast cells with specific antigen-antibody reactions. This study aimed to assess the effects of ginsenosides ($Rb_2$, Re) on the mechanism of histamine release in the mast cell activation. We partially purified guinea pig lung mast cells by using enzyme digestion, the rough and the discontinuous percoll density gradient method. Mast cells were sensitized with $IgG_1$ and challenged with ovalbumin (OA). Histamine was assayed by fluorometric analyzer, leukotrienes by radioimmunoassay. Phospholipase D (PLD) activity was assessed more directly by the production of $[^3H]phosphatidylbutanol$ (PBut) which was produced by PLD-mediated transphosphatidylation in the presence of butanol. The amount of 1,2- diacylglycerol (DAG) were measured by the $[^3H]DAG$ labeled with $[^3H]palmitic$ acid or $[^3H]myristic$ acid. Pretreatment of $Rb_2$ ($300\;{\mu}g$) significantly decreased histamine release by 60%, but Re ($300\;{\mu}g$) increased histamine release by 34%. Leukotrienes release in $Rb_2$ was decreased by 40%, Re was not affected in the leukotrienes release during mast cell activations. An increasing PLD activity during mast cell activation was decreased by the dose-dependent manner in the pretreatment of $Rb_2$, but Re pretreatment facilitated the increased PLD activity during mast cell activation. The amount of DAG produced by phospholipase C (PLC) activity was decreased by $Rb_2$ pretreatment, but Re pretreatment was not affected. The amount of mass DAG was decreased by $Rb_2$ and Re pretreatment during mast cell activation. The data suggest that $Rb_2$ purified from Korean Red Ginseng Radix inhibits the DAG which is produced by the activation of mast cells with antigen-antibody reactions via both phosphatidylinositide-PLC and phosphatidylcholine-PLD systems, and then followed by the inhibition of histamine release. However, Re increases histamine release by stimulation of DAG production, which is mediated by phosphatidylcholine-PLD system rather than by phosphatidylinositide-PLC system, but inhibits the mass DAG production. Thus, it could be inferred that other mechanisms play a role in the increase of histamine release during mast cell activation.
