Mammalian phospholipase D (PLD) activity becomes up-regulated when cells are stimulated by a variety of hormones, growth factors, and other extracellular signals. Two distinct PLDs, PLD1 and PLD2, have been identified. The mechanism through which each PLD is activated, however, is poorly understood. Using transiently transfected human embryonic kidney fibroblasts (HEK293), we demonstrate here that PLD1 activity, and to a lesser extent PLD2 activity, is stimulated in response to epidermal growth factor (EGF). PLD2, but not PLD1, associates with the EGF receptor in a ligand-independent manner and becomes tyrosine-phosphorylated upon EGF receptor activation. Tyrosine 11 (Tyr-11) of PLD2 was identified as the specific phosphorylation site. Mutation of this residue to phenylalanine enhanced basal activity almost 2-fold, but did not alter the magnitude of the EGF-mediated increase in PLD2 activity. In conclusion, we show here for the first time agonist-stimulated activation of both PLD1 and PLD2 in vivo and provide evidence of a distinct type of interaction for each isoform with the EGF receptor. Moreover, our results suggest that agonist-induced tyrosine phosphorylation plays a role in PLD2 regulation.
