Phospholipase D1 and Phosphatidic Acid are required for MVE Fusion and Exosome Secretion

Melodie T. Nguyen, Broderick L. Bills, André Allen…·Michelle K. Knowles

This study shows that phospholipase D1 (PLD1) and phosphatidic acid (PA) regulate MVE fusion and exosome release by promoting docking-to-fusion transition and correlating with exosome release rate.

Phospholipase D1 Produces Phosphatidic Acid at Sites of Secretory Vesicle Docking and Fusion

Broderick L. Bills, Megan L. Hulser, Michelle K. Knowles

This study shows PLD1 produces phosphatidic acid (PA) at secretory vesicle docking and fusion sites, with PA levels decreasing during fusion when PLD1 is inhibited.
