Signalling role for ARF and phospholipase D in mast cell exocytosis stimulated by crosslinking of the high affinity FcepsilonR1 receptor.
Phospholipase D (PLD) catalyses the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine to generate the lipid second messenger, phosphatidate (PA). Two mammalian phospholipase Ds (PLD1 and PLD2) have been cloned and both are present in RBL-2H3 mast cells. PLD1 is localised to secretory granules whilst PLD2 is localised to the plasma membrane, and the activity of both enzymes is increased upon antigen stimulation. Primary alcohols specifically interfere with the production of PLD-derived PA and are found to be potent inhibitors of antigen-stimulated exocytosis. One major intracellular regulator for PLD activity and exocytosis is ARF proteins, as depletion by permeabilisation leads to loss of both antigen-mediated PLD activation and exocytosis. Both responses can be restored in depleted cells by re-addition of ARF1 or ARF6. ARF proteins and PLD-derived PA synergistically regulate the activity of a Type I PIP 5-kinasealpha. It is suggested that ARF, by activating PLD and PIP 5-kinase activities regulate PA and PI(4,5)P(2) levels, and both are critical components of the exocytosis machinery in mast cells.

Continual production of phosphatidic acid by phospholipase D is essential for antigen-stimulated membrane ruffling in cultured mast cells.
Phospholipase Ds (PLDs) are regulated enzymes that generate phosphatidic acid (PA), a putative second messenger implicated in the regulation of vesicular trafficking and cytoskeletal reorganization. Mast cells, when stimulated with antigen, show a dramatic alteration in their cytoskeleton and also release their secretory granules by exocytosis. Butan-1-ol, which diverts the production of PA generated by PLD to the corresponding phosphatidylalcohol, was found to inhibit membrane ruffling when added together with antigen or when added after antigen. Inhibition by butan-1-ol was completely reversible because removal of butan-1-ol restored membrane ruffling. Measurements of PLD activation by antigen indicate a requirement for continual PA production during membrane ruffling, which was maintained for at least 30 min. PLD1 and PLD2 are both expressed in mast cells and green fluorescent protein-tagged proteins were used to identify PLD2 localizing to membrane ruffles of antigen-stimulated mast cells together with endogenous ADP ribosylation factor 6 (ARF6). In contrast, green fluorescent protein-PLD1 localized to intracellular vesicles and remained in this location after stimulation with antigen. Membrane ruffling was independent of exocytosis of secretory granules because phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate increased membrane ruffling in the absence of exocytosis. Antigen or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate stimulation increased both PLD1 and PLD2 activity when expressed individually in RBL-2H3 cells. Although basal activity of PLD2-overexpressing cells is very high, membrane ruffling was still dependent on antigen stimulation. In permeabilized cells, antigen-stimulated phosphatidylinositol(4,5)bisphosphate synthesis was dependent on both ARF6 and PA generated from PLD. We conclude that both activation of ARF6 by antigen and a continual PLD2 activity are essential for local phosphatidylinositol(4,5)bisphosphate generation that regulates dynamic actin cytoskeletal rearrangements.

Mechanism of ADP ribosylation factor-stimulated phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate synthesis in HL60 cells.
Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P(2)) is required both as a substrate for the generation of lipid-derived second messengers as well as an intact lipid for many aspects of cell signaling, endo- and exocytosis, and reorganization of the cytoskeleton. ADP ribosylation factor (ARF) proteins regulate PI(4,5)P(2) synthesis, and here we have examined whether this is due to direct activation of Type I phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PIP) 5-kinase or indirectly by phosphatidate (PA) derived from phospholipase D (PLD) in HL60 cells. ARF1 and ARF6 are both expressed in HL60 cells and can be depleted from the cells by permeabilization. Both ARFs increased the levels of PIP(2) (PI(4,5)P(2), PI(3,5)P(2), or PI(3,4)P(2) isomers) at the expense of PIP when added back to permeabilized cells. The PIP(2) could be hydrolyzed by phospholipase C, identifying it as PI(4,5)P(2). However, the ARF1-stimulated pool of PI(4,5)P(2) was accessible to the phospholipase C more efficiently in the presence of phosphatidylinositol transfer protein-alpha. To examine the role of PLD in the regulation of PI(4,5)P(2) synthesis, we used butanol to diminish the PLD-derived PA. PI(4,5)P(2) synthesis stimulated by ARF1 was not blocked by 0.5% butanol but could be blocked by 1.5% butanol. Although 0.5% butanol was optimal for maximal transphosphatidylation, PA production was still detectable. In contrast, 1.5% butanol was found to inhibit the activation of PLD by ARF1 and also decrease PIP levels by 50%. Thus the toxicity of 1.5% butanol prevented us from concluding whether PA was an important factor in raising PI(4,5)P(2) levels. To circumvent the use of alcohols, an ARF1 point mutant was identified (N52R-ARF1) that could selectively activate PIP 5-kinase alpha activity but not PLD activity. N52R-ARF1 was still able to increase PI(4,5)P(2) levels but at reduced efficiency. We therefore conclude that both PA derived from the PLD pathway and ARF proteins, by directly activating PIP 5-kinase, contribute to the regulation of PI(4,5)P(2) synthesis at the plasma membrane in HL60 cells.
