Structural analysis of PLD3 reveals insights into the mechanism of lysosomal 5' exonuclease-mediated nucleic acid degradation

ABSTRACT: The phospholipase D (PLD) family is comprised of enzymes bearing phospholipase activity towards lipids or endo- and exonuclease activity towards nucleic acids. PLD3 is synthesized as a type II transmembrane protein and proteolytically cleaved in lysosomes yielding a soluble active form. The deficiency of PLD3 leads to the slowed degradation of nucleic acids in lysosomes and chronic activation of nucleic acid-specific intracellular toll-like receptors. While the mechanism of PLD phospholipase activity has been extensively characterized, not much is known about how PLDs bind and hydrolyze nucleic acids. Here, we determined the high-resolution crystal structure of the luminal N-glycosylated domain of human PLD3 in its apo- and single-stranded DNA-bound forms. PLD3 has a typical phospholipase fold and forms homodimers with two independent catalytic centers via a newly identified dimerization interface. The structure of PLD3 in complex with an ssDNA-derived thymidine product in the catalytic center provides insights into the substrate binding mode of nucleic acids in the PLD family. Our structural data suggest a mechanism for substrate binding and nuclease activity in the PLD family and provide the structural basis to design immunomodulatory drugs targeting PLD3.

Project description:A time course of the effect of overexpressing GPI-PLD on global gene expression in HepG2 cells was compared to control virus. Experiment Overall Design: This experiment compares the global gene expression in HepG2 cells that were either transduced with an adenovirus expressing GPI-phospholipase D or an adenovirus expressing beta galactosidase as a control. Treatment was for 6 or 12 hrs. Four replicates for each condition were used. 10 micrograms of total RNA was assayed per genechip using standard Affymetrix protocols. CONTEXT: Recent studies demonstrated that de novo lipogenesis is increased in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Patients with NAFLD also have plasma lipid abnormalities. These lipid abnormalities may in part be related to insulin resistance, which is common in patients with NAFLD. Insulin resistance is associated with alterations in proteins involved in lipid metabolism including glycosylphosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase D (GPI-PLD), which is involved in triglyceride metabolism. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to determine whether alterations in serum and hepatic levels of GPI-PLD occur in patients with NAFLD. DESIGN AND PATIENTS: We examined the following: 1) levels of serum GPI-PLD in nondiabetics with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, compared with matched controls; 2) hepatic expression of GPI-PLD mRNA in patients with normal liver or NAFLD; and 3) effect of overexpressing GPI-PLD vs. beta-galactosidase (control) on global gene expression in a human hepatoma cell line. RESULTS: The serum levels of GPI-PLD were significantly higher in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis than in matched controls (119 +/- 24 vs.105 +/- 15 microg/ml, P = 0.047). The hepatic expression of GPI-PLD mRNA was increased nearly 3-fold in NAFLD patients, compared with patients with normal liver (3.1 +/- 2.6 vs. 1.1 +/- 1.0 arbitrary units per microgram total RNA, P = 0.026). Finally, overexpressing GPI-PLD was associated with an increase in de novo lipogenesis genes. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with NAFLD have elevated serum levels and hepatic expression of GPI-PLD, and its overexpression in vitro is associated with increased expression of de novo lipogenesis genes. These results suggest that GPI-PLD may play a role in the pathogenesis of NAFLD and/or its metabolic features and warrants further investigation.
