It has been established that protein kinase C{zeta} (PKC{zeta}) participates in diverse signaling pathways and cellular functions in a wide variety of cells, exhibiting properties relevant to cellular survival and proliferation. Currently, however, the regulation mechanism of PKC{zeta} remains elusive. Here, for the first time, we determine that phospholipase D2 (PLD2) enhances PKC{zeta} activity through direct interaction in a lipase activity-independent manner. This interaction of the PLD2-Phox homology (PX) domain with the PKC{zeta}-kinase domain also induces the activation loop phosphorylation of PKC{zeta} and downstream signal stimulation, as measured by p70 S6 kinase phosphorylation. Furthermore, only the PLD2-PX domain directly stimulates PKC{zeta} activity in vitro, and it is necessary for the formation of the ternary complex with phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1 and PKC{zeta}. The mutant that substitutes the triple lysine residues (Lys101, Lys102, and Lys103) within the PLD2-PX domain with alanine abolishes interaction with the PKC{zeta}-kinase domain and activation of PKC{zeta}. Moreover, breast cancer cell viability is significantly affected by PLD2 silencing. Taken together, these results suggest that the PLD2-mediated PKC{zeta} activation is induced by its PX domain performing both direct activation of PKC{zeta} and assistance of activation loop phosphorylation. Furthermore, we find it is an important factor in the survival of breast cancer cells.
