Autoclaved Escherichia coli labelled with [1-14C]oleate in the 2-acyl position have been used extensively to measure phospholipase A2 activity in vitro. The present study demonstrates that this membranous substrate is also useful for the measurement of in vitro phospholipase D activity. Phospholipase D from Streptomyces chromofuscus catalyzed the hydrolysis of [1-14C]oleate labelled, autoclaved E. coli optimally at pH 7.0-8.0 to generate [14C]phosphatidic acid in the presence of 5 mM added Ca2+. Other divalent cations would not substitute for Ca2+. Activity was linear with time and protein up to 30% of the hydrolysis of substrate. Phospholipase D activity was stimulated in a dose-dependent manner by the addition of Triton X-100. The activity was increased 5.5-fold with 0.05% Triton, a concentration that totally inhibited hydrolysis of E. coli by human synovial fluid phospholipase A2. Accumulation of [14C]diglyceride was observed after 10 min of incubation. This accumulation was inhibited by NaF (IC50 = 18 microM) or propanolol (IC50 = 180 microM) suggesting the S. chromofuscus phospholipase D was contaminated with phosphatidate phosphohydrolase. Phosphatidic acid released by the action of cabbage phospholipase D was converted to phosphatidylethanol in an ethanol concentration dependent manner. These results demonstrate that [1-14C]oleate labelled, autoclaved E. coli can be used to measure phospholipase D activity by monitoring accumulation of either [14C]phosphatidic acid or [14C]phosphatidylethanol.
