Abstract: Phospholipase D-mediated hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine is stimulated by PKC and the monomeric G-proteins Arf, RhoA, Cdc42 and Rac1, resulting in complex regulation of this enzyme. Using purified proteins, we have identified a novel inhibitor of phospholipase D activity, G
subunits of heterotrimeric G-proteins. GPCR activation alters affinity between G
and G
subunits, allowing subsequent interaction with distinct effectors. G
1
1 inhibited phospholipase D1 and phospholipase D2 activity, and both G
1
1 and G
1
2 inhibited stimulated phospholipase D1 activity in a dose-dependent manner in reconstitution assays. Reconstitution assays suggest this interaction occurs through the amino terminus of phospholipase D, as G
1
1 is unable to inhibit an amino-terminally truncated phospholipase D construct, PLD1.d311, which like full-length phospholipase D isoforms, requires PIP2 for activity. Furthermore, a truncated protein consisting of the amino terminal region of phospholipase D containing the PX/PH domains was found to interact with G
1
1, unlike the PLD1.d311 recombinant protein which lacks this domain. In vivo, expressed recombinant G
1
2 was also found to inhibit phospholipase D activity under basal and stimulated conditions in MDA-MB-231 cells, which natively express both phospholipase D1 and phospholipase D2. These data demonstrate that G
directly regulates phospholipase D activity in vitro, and suggest a novel mechanism to negatively regulate phospholipase D signaling in vivo.
