Lipid phosphate phosphatase-1 dephosphorylates exogenous lysophosphatidate and thereby attenuates its effects on cell signalling
The serum-derived phospholipid growth factor, lysophosphatidate (LPA), activates cells through a family of G-protein-coupled EDG receptors. The present article examines the role of lipid phosphate phosphatase-1 (LPP-1, or phosphatidate phosphate 2A) in regulating cell activation by LPA. Over-express...

Summary: | The serum-derived phospholipid growth factor, lysophosphatidate (LPA), activates cells through a family of G-protein-coupled EDG receptors. The present article examines the role of lipid phosphate phosphatase-1 (LPP-1, or phosphatidate phosphate 2A) in regulating cell activation by LPA. Over-expressing LPP-1 approximately doubled the rate of dephosphorylation of exogenous LPA by Rat2 fibroblasts. The amount of LPA dephosphorylation was restricted to less than 10% of the total exogenous LPA. Over-expression of LPP-1 attenuated cell activation as indicated by diminished responses including cAMP, Ca
2+, activation of phospholipase D and ERK, DNA synthesis and cell division. LPP-1 therefore provides a novel level of regulation for controlling cell signalling by exogenous LPA. |
