== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/PLCE1_RAT PLCE1_RAT] The production of the second messenger molecules diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) is mediated by activated phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C enzymes. PLCE1 is a bifunctional enzyme which also regulates small GTPases of the Ras superfamily through its Ras guanine-exchange factor (RasGEF) activity. As an effector of heterotrimeric and small G-protein, it may play a role in cell survival, cell growth, actin organization and T-cell activation. In podocytes, is involved in the regulation of lamellipodia formation. Acts downtream of AVIL to allow ARP2/3 complex assembly (By similarity).[UniProtKB:Q9P212]<ref>PMID:12721365</ref> <ref>PMID:16314422</ref> <ref>PMID:17086182</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Phospholipase Cepsilon (PLCepsilon) generates lipid-derived second messengers at the plasma and perinuclear membranes in the cardiovascular system. It is activated in response to a wide variety of signals, such as those conveyed by Rap1A and Ras, through a mechanism that involves its C-terminal Ras association (RA) domains (RA1 and RA2). However, the complexity and size of PLCepsilon has hindered its structural and functional analysis. Herein, we report the 2.7 A crystal structure of the minimal fragment of PLCepsilon that retains basal activity. This structure includes the RA1 domain, which forms extensive interactions with other core domains. A conserved amphipathic helix in the autoregulatory X-Y linker of PLCepsilon is also revealed, which we show modulates activity in vitro and in cells. The studies provide the structural framework for the core of this critical cardiovascular enzyme that will allow for a better understanding of its regulation and roles in disease.
