title: Role for phospholipase D in receptor-mediated endocytosis.
abstract: In response to epidermal growth factor (EGF), the EGF receptor is endocytosed and degraded. A substantial lag period exists between endocytosis and degradation, suggesting that endocytosis is more than a simple negative feedback. Phospholipase D (PLD), which has been implicated in vesicle formation in the Golgi, is activated in response to EGF and other growth factors. We report here that EGF receptor endocytosis is dependent upon PLD and the PLD1 regulators, protein kinase C alpha and RalA. EGF-induced receptor degradation is accelerated by overexpression of either wild-type PLD1 or PLD2 and retarded by overexpression of catalytically inactive mutants of either PLD1 or PLD2. EGF-induced activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase, which is dependent upon receptor endocytosis, is also dependent upon PLD. These data suggest a role for PLD in signaling that facilitates receptor endocytosis.
