Phospholipase D (PLD) is a lipolytic enzyme involved in signal transduction, vesicle trafficking and membrane
metabolism. It catalyzes the hydrolysis and transphosphatidylation of glycerophospholipids at the terminal
phosphodiester bond. The presence of a PLD in the latex of Carica papaya (CpPLD1) was demonstrated
by transphosphatidylation of phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) in the presence of 2% ethanol. Although the protein
could not be purified to homogeneity due to its presence in high molecular mass aggregates, a protein
band was separated by SDS-PAGE after SDS/chloroform–methanol/TCA–acetone extraction of the latex insoluble
fraction. This material was digested with trypsin and the amino acid sequences of the tryptic peptides
were determined by micro-LC/ESI/MS/MS. These sequences were used to identify a partial cDNA (723 bp)
from expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of C. papaya. Based upon EST sequences, a full-length gene was identified
in the genome of C. papaya, with an open reading frame of 2424 bp encoding a protein of 808 amino acid
residues, with a theoretical molecular mass of 92.05 kDa. From sequence analysis, CpPLD1 was identified as a
PLD belonging to the plant phosphatidylcholine phosphatidohydrolase family.
