Abstract

Glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterases (GDPDs) hydrolyze glycerophosphodiesters, phospholipid metabolites generated by acyl hydrolases. We analyzed the function of the two related proteins GDPD5 and GDPD6 from Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), which are expressed during phosphate starvation and in flower organs. Heterologously expressed GDPD5 and GDPD6 hydrolyzed glycerophosphocholine and othe…
