    Abstract

    Background: Phospholipase D (PLD)-derived phosphatidic acid (PA) is suggested to function in exocytosis. Results: PLD activity on the plasma membrane was higher than on vesicles. PLD inhibitors suppressed some fusion parameters, but blockade of PA did not affect fusion. Conclusion: PLD-derived PA has modulatory rather than direct effects on fusion. Significance: Identifying critical mechanistic components may enable interventions to target diseases affecting exocytosis.
