This is a PLD-like domain mainly found in Cardiolipin synthases. These enzymes catalyse the reversible phosphatidyl group transfer from one phosphatidylglycerol molecule to another to form cardiolipin (CL) (diphosphatidylglycerol) and glycerol [1]. Mitochondrial cardiolipin hydrolase (PLD6) from mammals has phospholipase and nuclease activities, depending on the different physiological conditions [2] and it plays a key role in mitochondrial fusion and fission via its phospholipase activity [3].

Phosphatidylcholine-hydrolysing phospholipase D (PLD) isoforms are activated by ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs). PLD produces phosphatidic acid from phosphatidylcholine, which may be essential for the formation of certain types of transport vesicles or may be constitutive vesicular transport to signal transduction pathways. PC-hydrolysing PLD is a homologue of cardiolipin synthase, phosphatidylserine synthase, bacterial PLDs, and viral proteins. Each of these appears to possess a domain duplication which is apparent by the presence of two motifs containing well-conserved histidine, lysine, and/or asparagine residues which may contribute to the active site [1-5].
