Regulation and function of PLDs in yeast

Biochim Biophys Acta. 1999 Jul 30;1439(2):167-74. doi: 10.1016/s1388-1981(99)00092-x.

Abstract

While yeast contain multiple phospholipase D activities, only one, encoded by SPO14, appears to be a member of the phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase D gene family. Genetic analyses have revealed a role for this enzyme in regulated membrane trafficking events.
