3T3-L1 adipocytes in culture incorporated [35S]methionine into a protein which could be immunoprecipitated with chicken antiserum to bovine lipoprotein lipase. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed this protein had an Mr of 55,000, similar to that of bovine lipoprotein lipase, and accounted for 0.1-0.5% of total protein synthesis in the adipocytes. Lipoprotein lipase protein was present in small amounts in confluent 3T3-L1 fibroblasts, and the amount increased many-fold as the cells differentiated into adipocytes. This increase was accompanied by parallel increases in cellular lipase activity and secretion. When cells were grown with [35S]methionine, the amount of label incorporated into lipoprotein lipase increased for 2 h and then leveled off. Pulse-chase experiments showed that half-life of newly synthesized lipase was about 1 h. Turnover of lipoprotein lipase in control cells involved both release to the medium and intracellular degradation. When N-linked glycosylation was blocked by tunicamycin, the cells synthesized a form of lipase that had a smaller Mr (48,000), was catalytically inactive, and was not released to the medium. Radioimmunoassay demonstrated that 3T3-L1 adipocytes contained an unexpectedly large amount of lipoprotein lipase protein. 55% of the enzyme protein in acetone/ether powder of the cells was insoluble in 50 mM NH3/NH4Cl at pH 8.1, a solution commonly used to extract lipoprotein lipase; 27% of the lipase protein was soluble but did not bind to heparin-Sepharose and had very low lipase activity; and the remaining 13% was soluble, bound to heparin-Sepharose, and had high lipolytic activity. About one-half of the lipase released spontaneously to the medium was inactive, and lipase inactivation proceeded in the medium with little loss of enzyme protein. Lipoprotein lipase released heparin, in contrast, was fully active and more stable. When protein synthesis was blocked by cycloheximide, the level of lipoprotein lipase activity in adipocytes decreased more rapidly than the amount of lipase protein in the cells. Most of the inactive lipoprotein lipase in adipocytes probably results from dissociation of active dimeric lipase, but some could be a precursor of active enzyme.  相似文献

Heparin decreases the degradation rate of lipoprotein lipase in adipocytes   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
The mechanism responsible for the stimulation of secretion of lipoprotein lipase by heparin in cultured cells was studied with avian adipocytes in culture. Immunoprecipitation followed by electrophoresis and fluorography were used to isolate and quantitate the radiolabeled enzyme, whereas total lipoprotein lipase was quantitated by radioimmunoassay. Rates of synthesis of lipoprotein lipase were not different for control or heparin treatments as judged by incorporation of L-[35S]methionine counts into lipoprotein lipase during a 20-min pulse. This observation was corroborated in pulse-chase experiments where the calculation of total lipoprotein lipase synthesis, based on the rate of change in enzyme-specific activity during the chase, showed no difference between control (8.13 +/- 3.1) and heparin treatments (9.1 +/- 5.3 ng/h/60-mm dish). Secretion rates of enzyme were calculated from measurements of the radioactivity of the secreted enzyme and the cellular enzyme-specific activity. Degradation rates were calculated by difference between synthesis and secretion rates of enzyme. In control cells 76% of the synthesized enzyme was degraded. Addition of heparin to the culture medium reduced the degradation rate to 21% of the synthetic rate. The presence of heparin in cell media resulted in a decrease in apparent intracellular retention half-time for secreted enzyme from 160 +/- 44 min to 25 +/- 1 min. The above data demonstrate that the increase in lipoprotein lipase protein secretion, observed upon addition of heparin to cultured adipocytes, is due to a decreased degradation rate with no change in synthetic rate. Finally, newly synthesized lipoprotein lipase in cultured adipocytes is secreted constitutively and there is no evidence that it is stored in an intracellular pool.  相似文献

Summary Heparin (5 U/ml) induced the release of LPL into the incubation medium of cardiac myocytes isolated from adult rat hearts. The secretion of LPL occurred in two phases: a rapid release (5–10 min of incubation with heparin) that was independent of protein synthesis followed by a slower rate of release that was inhibited by cycloheximide. The rapid release of LPL induced by heparin likely occurs from sites that are at or near the cell surface. LPL secretion could also be stimulated by heparan sulfate and dermatan sulfate, but not by hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate or keratan sulfate. Heparin-releasable LPL activity measured in short-term incubations represented a large fraction (40–50%) of the initial LPL activity associated with myocytes, but the fall in cellular LPL activity following heparin was less than the amount of LPL activity secreted into the incubation medium. This discrepancy was not due to latency of LPL in the pre-heparin cell homogenates, but in part could be due to a three-fold greater affinity of the heparin-released enzyme for substrate as compared to LPL in post-heparin myocyte homogenates.Abbreviations LPL lipoprotein lipase  相似文献

Cells isolated from newborn rat hearts were cultured for 10-14 days, and lipoprotein lipase activity was present in an intracellular and heparin-releasable pool. Treatment of the cultures with 10(-7) M isoproterenol for 3 min resulted in a 3-fold increase in heparin-releasable lipoprotein lipase and a concomitant decrease in residual cellular enzyme activity. Similar results were obtained by treatment with dibutyryl cAMP. Treatment with isoproterenol or dibutyryl cAMP for 2 h affected glycosylation of immunoadsorbable lipoprotein lipase, so that the ratio of [3H]galactose to [14C]mannose in the heparin-releasable enzyme increased from 3.8 (control) to 13.0 (isoproterenol-treated). The change in the ratio of the sugars in the cellular fraction of the enzyme was from 3.1 to 9.9. 2 h treatment with isoproterenol did not enhance new enzyme synthesis, as determined by incorporation of [3H]leucine into immunoadsorbable lipoprotein lipase. 24 h after addition of either isoproterenol or dibutyryl cAMP to the culture medium, stimulation of enzyme synthesis was demonstrated. The present results permit three effects of isoproterenol on lipoprotein lipase to be distinguished: stimulation of translocation from a cellular to heparin-releasable pool; enhanced processing of mannose residues and terminal glycosylation; stimulation of synthesis of enzyme protein.  相似文献

Lipoprotein lipase synthesized by cultured rat preadipocytes is present in three compartments: an intracellular, a surface-related 3-min heparin-releasable, and that secreted into the culture medium. 30 min after addition of 6 microM monensin, the lipoprotein lipase activity in the heparin-releasable compartment starts to decrease; by 4 h of monensin treatment the lipoprotein lipase activity in the heparin-releasable pool and in the culture medium is about 10% of that found in control dishes. The intracellular activity, which had been identified as lipoprotein lipase by an antiserum to lipoprotein lipase, increases slowly and doubles by 24 h. However, since the cellular compartment accounts for 10-25% of total activity, this increase does not account for the missing enzyme activity. To determine whether this enzyme molecule is synthesized but is not active, incorporation of labeled leucine, mannose and galactose into immunoadsorbable lipoprotein lipase was studied in control, monensin- or tunicamycin-treated cells. Addition of tunicamycin (5 micrograms/ml) for 24 h caused a 30-50% reduction in immunoadsorbable lipoprotein lipase, but the enzyme activity was reduced by 90%. On the other hand, 4 h monensin treatment reduced both incorporation of [3H]leucine into immunoadsorbable lipoprotein lipase and heparin-releasable and medium lipoprotein lipase activity by 57 to 77%. The immunoadsorbable lipoprotein lipase in the intracellular compartment has a [14C]mannose to [3H]galactose ratio of 0.15 and this ratio increased 6-fold in monensin-treated cells. The intracellular lipoprotein lipase in monensin-treated cells had the same affinity for both the native and synthetic substrate as the lipoprotein lipase in control cells, yet its spontaneous secretion into the culture medium and its release by 3 min heparin treatment was markedly decreased. The present results indicate that: the presence of asparagine-linked oligosaccharide (formation of which is inhibited by tunicamycin) is mandatory for the expression of lipoprotein lipase activity; lipoprotein lipase is active also in a high mannose form; and terminal glycosylation and oligosaccharide processing, which is inhibited by monensin, may be important for the appearance of heparin-releasable lipoprotein lipase and secretion of lipoprotein lipase into the medium.  相似文献

Cultured Chinese-hamster ovary cells (CHO cells) were found to produce and secrete a lipase, which was identified as a lipoprotein lipase by the following criteria. Its activity was stimulated by serum and apolipoprotein CII, and was inhibited by high salt concentration. The lipase bound to heparin-agarose and co-eluted with 125I-labelled bovine lipoprotein lipase in a salt gradient. A chicken antiserum to bovine lipoprotein lipase inhibited the activity and precipitated a labelled protein of the same apparent size as bovine lipoprotein lipase from media of CHO cells labelled with [35S]methionine. The lipase activity and secretion were similar in growing cells and in cells that had reached confluency. Hence, lipoprotein lipase appears to be expressed constitutively in CHO cells and is not linked to certain growth conditions, as in pre-adipocyte and macrophage cell lines. At 37 degrees C, but not at 4 degrees C, heparin increased the release of lipase to the medium 2-4-fold. This increased release occurred without depletion of cell-associated lipase activity, suggesting that heparin enhanced release of newly synthesized lipase.  相似文献

The regulation of avian lipoprotein lipase by dibutyryl cyclic AMP in cultured adipocytes was studied with quantitative and specific methods for the measurements of enzyme catalytic activity, enzyme protein mass, and immunoadsorption of labeled enzyme. Incubation of adipocytes in 0.5 mM dibutyryl cyclic AMP plus 0.5 mM theophylline results in a time-dependent decrease in cell lipoprotein lipase catalytic activity. The activity is decreased by 70% in 4 h and over 90% by 12 h. The decrease in cellular catalytic activity is due to a decrease in both enzyme content and enzyme catalytic efficiency. 4 h after exposure of adipocytes to cAMP, enzyme protein was decreased from 3.58 +/- 0.5 to 1.92 +/- 0.1 ng/dish and specific activity from 15.1 +/- 2.1 to 8.4 +/- 1.1 nmol/ng. In the presence of 0.5 mM theophylline, the dibutyryl cyclic AMP-mediated decrease in lipoprotein lipase activity was half-maximal at less than 25 microM dibutyryl cyclic AMP. The rate of lipoprotein lipase synthesis was estimated by measuring the incorporation of L-[35S]methionine into enzyme protein during 30 min. A method for the quantitative immunoadsorption of lipoprotein lipase from cell lysates was developed. Utilizing this immunoadsorption technique, the rate of incorporation of L-[35S]methionine into lipoprotein lipase was 0.0026 +/- 0.002%, when expressed as a percentage of that incorporated into total trichloroacetic acid-precipitable counts. By 2 h after exposure of adipocytes to 0.5 mM dibutyryl cAMP, the relative synthesis rate had already decreased to 64 +/- 4% of the control rate. After 16 h the synthesis rate was 43.2 +/- 13.8% of the control rate. The observed decreased synthesis rate could account for most of the decreased cellular enzyme content and diminished enzyme secretion rate.  相似文献

In avian-cultured adipocytes 76% of the newly synthesized lipoprotein lipase is degraded before release into the medium (Cupp, M., Bensadoun, A., and Melford, K. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 6383-6388). The same group (Cisar, L. A., Hoogewerf, A. J., Cupp, M., Rapport, C. A., and Bensadoun, A. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 1767-1774) has proposed that the interaction of lipoprotein lipase with a class of cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans is necessary for degradation to occur. To test further this hypothesis, the binding capacity of the plasma membrane for the lipase was decreased by inhibiting the sulfation of glycosaminoglycans with sodium chlorate, an inhibitor of sulfate adenyltransferase. Chlorate decreased sulfate incorporation into trypsin-releasable heparan sulfate proteoglycans to 20% of control levels. The amount of uronic acid in the trypsin-releasable heparan sulfate proteoglycans remained constant. Therefore, chlorate decreased sulfation density on heparan sulfate chains by approximately 5-fold. In the same fractions, chlorate increased the median heparan sulfate Mr measured on Sephacryl S-300. Chlorate decreased the maximum binding of 125I-lipoprotein lipase to adipocytes by 4-fold, but no significant effects on the affinity constants were observed. Chlorate increased lipoprotein lipase secretion in a dose-dependent relationship up to 30 mM. Utilizing a pulse-chase protocol, it was shown that lipase synthesis in control and chlorate-treated cells was not significantly different and that the increased secretion could be accounted for by a decreased lipoprotein lipase degradation rate. In control cells 77 +/- 11% of the synthesized enzyme was degraded whereas in chlorate-treated cells degradation was reduced to 42 +/- 9% of the synthesized amount. The present study shows that decreased sulfation of heparan sulfate proteoglycans decreases the maximum binding of the lipase for the adipocyte cell surface. Consistent with the model that binding of lipoprotein lipase to cell surface heparan sulfate is required for lipase degradation, degradation is reduced in chlorate-treated cultures. In this report it is also shown that chlorate inhibits lipoprotein lipase sulfation and that desulfation of the enzyme has no effect on its catalytic efficiency or on its binding to cultured adipocytes.  相似文献

Mechanisms for turnover of lipoprotein lipase in guinea pig adipocytes   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
Guinea-pig adipocytes released lipoprotein lipase activity to the medium without depletion of cell-associated lipoprotein lipase activity. Heparin caused immediate release of 20-25% of the lipase activity to the medium, and also enhanced the continued release. After addition of cycloheximide, cell-associated lipoprotein lipase activity decreased rapidly. Release of lipase activity to the medium continued unabated for about 30 min, but there was little release thereafter. The release accounted for only about 25% of the initial lipoprotein lipase activity in the absence and about 50% in the presence of heparin. In pulse-chase experiments with [35S]methionine, labeled lipoprotein lipase appeared in the medium within 40 min, and most of the release occurred during the first h of chase. In a 4-h chase the total (cells + medium) amount of labeled lipase decreased to 34%. Thus, degradation was a main fate of the lipase. Heparin markedly increased the amount of labeled lipase that was released to the medium and decreased the amount that was degraded. Heparin did not change the time-course for the release, and the amount of labeled lipase degraded was proportional to the amount not released to the medium, indicating that the effect of heparin was primarily on release, not on degradation as such. This study demonstrates that adipocytes synthesize lipoprotein lipase in excess of what is being released, and that the excess is rapidly degraded.  相似文献

Equilibrium-binding data of highly purified 125I-labeled avian lipoprotein lipase to cultured avian adipocytes demonstrate the presence of a class of high affinity binding sites. Analysis of the binding function yielded an association constant of 0.62 x 10(8)M-1 and a maximum binding capacity of 2.1 micrograms/60-mm dish. From a time course of dissociation of 125I-lipoprotein lipase from adipocytes at 4 degrees C, a dissociation rate constant of 6.1 x 10(-5)s-1 was obtained. Pretreatment of cells with heparinase and heparitinase resulted in a quantitative suppression of the high affinity binding component, establishing that lipoprotein lipase is bound to cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans. At 37 degrees C, cell surface-bound 125I-lipoprotein lipase is internalized and either degraded or recycled to the medium. The degradation rate constant for 125I-lipoprotein lipase was estimated to be 0.78 h-1. The degradation rate constant was reduced 6-fold when cells were exposed to 100 microM chloroquine, indicating that most of the degradation occurs within the lysosomal compartment. By using cells that had been pulsed with Trans35S-label for 1 h, it was demonstrated that acute treatment with endoglycosidases for up to 1 h resulted in a new lipoprotein lipase secretion rate which was 6-fold higher than that of control cells. Degradation of newly synthesized lipoprotein lipase was essentially blocked 30 min after the initiation of the chase. In other studies it was observed that there were no additive effects of chloroquine and either endoglycosidase or heparin treatment on total lipoprotein lipase levels (intracellular, cell surface, and medium) in adipocyte cultures. These experiments support the hypothesis that the release of lipoprotein lipase from its receptor prevents its internalization and degradation and enhances enzyme efflux from the adipocyte. A new model of lipoprotein lipase secretion in cultured adipocytes is proposed: Newly synthesized lipoprotein lipase is transported to the cell surface where it binds to specific heparan sulfate proteoglycan receptors. The enzyme is either released to the medium or internalized via the receptor, in which case the enzyme is degraded or recycled to the cell surface. Major determinants of enzyme efflux from the cell surface include the number and integrity of receptors, the association constant of the enzyme-receptor complex, and the presence in the medium of competing molecules with high affinity for lipoprotein lipase. In this model, modulation of lipoprotein lipase degradation rate may be a significant mechanism for acute regulation of enzyme efflux independent of changes in the rate of enzyme synthesis.  相似文献

Cell suspensions prepared from rat hearts were separated by replating into F1, F2 and M cultures, and cultured for 3--11 days. Lipoprotein lipase activity was highest in the F1 cultures which consisted mainly of non-beating, mesenchymal cells. The enzyme activity was released into the medium only after addition of heparin. The release occurred by an initial rapid phase and a continuous slow phase. Both the rapid and the slow release of enzyme activity by heparin were inhibited by about 70% after a 4 h pretreatment with colchicine. Thus, it seems that the vesicular transport is responsible for the translocation of lipoprotein lipase to the cell surface also during the slow process of release. The residual activity in the colchicine treated cultures was higher than in the controls indicating that no inhibition of enzyme synthesis occurred. The slow phase of enzyme release continued also after removal of heparin from the medium but was reduced markedly when protein synthesis was inhibited by cycloheximide. Thus the increase in total enzyme activity encountered after exposure to heparin resulted from stimulation of new enzyme synthesis. The half-time of lipoprotein lipase in the F1 cultures was 35 min and full restoration of enzyme activity was found 60 min after complete removal of cycloheximide from the system. These data indicate that the culture system can be used to study regulation of new enzyme synthesis and its turnover.  相似文献

Multiple effects of tumor necrosis factor on lipoprotein lipase in vivo   总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13  
A single dose of recombinant murine tumor necrosis factor (TNF) suppressed lipoprotein lipase activity in adipose tissue of fed rats, mice, and guinea pigs for 48 h, even though TNF itself is rapidly metabolized in vivo. Immunoprecipitation of [35S]lipoprotein lipase from fat pads pulse-labeled with [35S]methionine showed a decrease in relative synthesis of the enzyme, which correlated to the decrease in activity. There was no decrease in general protein synthesis and no change in distribution of the enzyme between adipocytes and extracellular locations in the tissue. This is in contrast to fasting in which case there is redistribution of the enzyme within the tissue, decrease in general protein synthesis, but no change in relative synthesis of lipoprotein lipase. TNF did not decrease lipoprotein lipase activity in any tissue other than the adipose but increased the activity in several cases, most markedly in the liver. No [35S]methionine was incorporated into lipoprotein lipase by liver slices from normal or TNF-treated animals. Thus, the increased activity can not be ascribed to enhanced hepatic synthesis of the enzyme. There was an increase in lipoprotein lipase activity in plasma, which correlated to the increase in liver. Thus, TNF suppresses lipoprotein lipase synthesis in adipocytes, but not in other tissues, and has some as yet undefined effect on lipoprotein lipase turnover in extrahepatic tissues, which results in increased transport of active lipase through plasma to the liver.  相似文献

The mechanism of heparin stimulation of rat adipocyte lipoprotein lipase   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Free fat cells and stromal-vascular cells were prepared from rat adipose tissue by incubation with collagenase. NH(4)OH-NH(4)Cl extracts of acetone-ether powders prepared from fat cells contained lipoprotein lipase activity but extracts of stromal-vascular cells did not. Intact fat cells released lipoprotein lipase activity into incubation medium, but intact stromal-vascular cells did not. The lipoprotein lipase activity of the medium was increased when fat cells were incubated with heparin, and this was accompanied by a corresponding decrease in the activity of subsequently prepared fat cell extracts. Heparin did not release lipoprotein lipase activity from stromal-vascular cells. The lipoprotein lipase activity of NH(4)OH-NH(4)Cl extracts of fat cell acetone powders is increased by the presence of heparin during the assay. This increase is not due to preservation of enzyme activity, but to increased binding of lipoprotein lipase to chylomicrons. Protamine sulfate and sodium chloride have little effect on the binding of lipoprotein lipase to chylomicrons, but they inhibit enzyme activity after binding to substrate has occurred. These inhibitors do, however, inhibit the stimulatory effect of heparin on enzyme-substrate binding.  相似文献

Regulation of the secretion of lipoprotein lipase by mouse macrophages   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
The regulation of the secretion of lipoprotein lipase was studied in primary cultures of mouse peritoneal macrophages and in the murine macrophage cell line J774. As previously reported, both cell types secrete a lipase with the characteristics of lipoprotein lipase. Incubation of macrophages with insulin, insulin-like growth factor, and L-thyroxine had no effect on lipoprotein lipase secretion. Incubation with dexamethasone and with several agents which increase intracellular cyclic AMP led to a decrease in lipoprotein lipase secretion by mouse peritoneal macrophages. These results suggest that the hormonal regulation of lipoprotein lipase in macrophages is different from that in adipose tissue and heart muscle. Incubation of the macrophages with heparin caused a marked increase in the secretion of lipoprotein lipase. Short incubations with heparin (5 min) caused a release of the enzyme into the media, while longer incubations caused a 2-8-fold increase in net lipoprotein lipase secretion which was maximal after 2-16 h depending on cell type, and persisted for 24 h. The effect of heparin was dose-dependent and specific (it was not duplicated by other glycosaminoglycans). The mechanism of heparin-induced increase in lipoprotein lipase secretion was explored. The increase was not caused by the release of a presynthesized intracellular pool of lipoprotein lipase or by the stabilization of lipoprotein lipase by heparin after secretion. The heparin-induced increase in lipoprotein lipase secretion was dependent on protein synthesis. The secretion of lipoprotein lipase by macrophages in response to low levels of heparin may be a significant factor in the formation of atherosclerotic lesions.  相似文献

We investigated the mechanism by which the endotoxin-induced macrophage secretory protein cachectin is able to suppress the activity of lipoprotein lipase in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The loss in activity results from an effect on the synthesis of the enzyme, as determined by a decreased incorporation of [35S]methionine into immunoprecipitable lipoprotein lipase. The results were nearly identical whether crude conditioned medium or a highly purified preparation was utilized as a source of cachectin. [35S]Methionine incorporation into acid-precipitable protein was minimally affected by purified cachectin, suggesting that the suppression of the lipoprotein lipase was not due to a general suppression of protein synthesis. These results, taken together with our previous work, provide additional evidence that cachectin and tumour necrosis factor are functionally identical.  相似文献

1. Liver contains a lipase which catalyzes in vitro the hydrolysis of esters of short-chain normal primary alcohols and fatty acids. It is shown that this enzymatic activity can be measured by using intact liver cells as source of enzyme. During short-term incubations of suspensions of cells isolated from rat liver, the lipase acts as a membrane-bound enzyme and readily attacks [3H] oleoylethanol added as an emulsion into the bathing medium. The lipolytic reaction proceeds linearly for at least 20 min at 37 degrees C, at the pH optimum of 8.5. [3H] Oleic acid, a reaction product, is mostly retained in the medium and is used to monitor the lipolytic process. 2. In the presence of heparin, the bound lipase is released in the medium in amounts representing one-third to one half the total activity contained in the cells. This release is very rapid and associated in all cases with a concomitant release of lactate dehydrogenase activity. Such effects are consistent with the interpretation that heparin, at concentrations comprised between 10 and 100 mug per ml, causes alterations of the plasma membrane of the isolated cells, resulting in the dispersion of membrane-bound and cytoplasmtic material. This action of heparin is totally blocked by protamine sulfate (1 mg/ml). No specific effect of heparin directed towards the selective release of lipase could be demonstrated under these conditions. 3. During incubations in the presence of heparin, it was observed that the release of monoester lipase was quantitatively related to a simultaneous decrease in membrane-bound as well as in total monoester lipase activity measureable in the cells after homogenization. This, along with the reappearance of membrane-bound activity immediately after heparin withdrawal, suggest that under the experimental conditions, the membrane-bound enzyme is replaced from inside the cell in proportion of its release by heparin.  相似文献

The kinetics of inhibition of the esterase and lipase activities of bovine milk lipoprotein lipase (LPL) were compared. The esterase LPL activity against emulsified tributyrylglycerol was not affected by the enzyme activator apolipoprotein C-II (C-II) and amounted to about 15% of the "plus activator" lipase enzyme activity. Heparin at concentrations of 20 micrograms/ml inhibited 25% of the esterase activity. The reaction followed Henri-Michaelis-Menten kinetics and the inhibition by heparin followed a linear, intersecting, noncompetitive kinetic model. On the other hand, the basal lipase activity of LPL against emulsified trioleoylglycerol (TG) was very sensitive to inhibition by heparin: 1 microgram/ml inhibited about 80% of the reaction and 3 micrograms/ml drove the reaction to zero. The velocity curve for the uninhibited basal LPL activity was sigmoidal with an apparent nH(TG) of 2.94. Heparin inhibited the lipase activity competitively: heparin decreased nH(TG) and increased[TG]0.5 6.4-fold, while TG decreased the nH(Heparin) from 2.14 to 0.95 and caused a 3-fold increase in [Heparin]0.5. C-II, at concentrations lower than 2.5 X 10(-8) M (i.e., lower than KA), countered the inhibitory effects of heparin: at constant inhibitor concentrations, C-II increased nH(TG) from 1.78 to 2.52 and decreased [TG]0.5 about 10-fold; it also increased the apparent Vmax. At the lower C-II concentrations, nH(C-II) was approximately equal to 1.0 and increasing the TG concentrations decreased [C-II]0.5 from 3.8 X 10(-8) to 8.5 X 10(-9) M, with no effect on the nH(C-II). At the higher C-II concentrations, nH(C-II) was 2.5 and TG decreased [C-II]0.5 about 2-fold with no effect on the nH(C-II). In the absence of heparin, C-II had no effect on nH(TG) nor on [TG]0.5, but it increased the apparent Vmax. On the other hand, TG had no effect on nH(C-II) nor on [C-II]0.5, but at any given C-II concentration, the reaction velocity increased with increasing TG concentrations. It is concluded that TG and heparin as well as C-II and heparin are mutually exclusive and that lipoprotein lipase is a multisite enzyme, possibly a tetramer, with three high-affinity catalytic sites, and an equal number of sites for C-II and heparin per oligomer. However, LPL differs from classical allosteric enzymes in that its activator has no effect on substrate cooperativity nor on [S]0.5; its only effect is to increase Vmax by increasing the catalytic rate constant kp by inducing conformational changes in the enzyme.  相似文献

Endothelial lipase (EL) is a new member of the triglyceride lipase gene family, which includes lipoprotein lipase (LpL) and hepatic lipase (HL). Enzymatic activity of EL has been studied before. Here we characterized the ability of EL to bridge lipoproteins to the cell surface. Expression of EL in wild-type Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1 but not in heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG)-deficient CHO-677 cells resulted in 3-4.4-fold increases of 125I-low density lipoprotein (LDL) and 125I-high density lipoprotein 3 binding (HDL3). Inhibition of proteoglycan sulfation by sodium chlorate or incubation of cells with labeled lipoproteins in the presence of heparin (100 microg/ml) abolished bridging effects of EL. An enzymatically inactive EL, EL-S149A, was equally effective in facilitating lipoprotein bridging as native EL. Processing of LDL and HDL differed notably after initial binding via EL to the cell surface. More than 90% of the surface-bound 125I-LDL was destined for internalization and degradation, whereas about 70% of the surface-bound 125I-HDL3 was released back into the medium. These differences were significantly attenuated after HDL clustering was promoted using antibody against apolipoprotein A-I. At equal protein concentration of added lipoproteins the ratio of HDL3 to VLDL bridging via EL was 0.092 compared with 0.174 via HL and 0.002 via LpL. In summary, EL mediates binding and uptake of plasma lipoproteins via a process that is independent of its enzymatic activity, requires cellular heparan sulfate proteoglycans, and is regulated by ligand clustering.  相似文献

When fully differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes were exposed to purified, recombinant murine interleukin 1 (rIL-1), a dose-dependent suppression of lipoprotein lipase activity was observed. The loss of activity reached a maximum of 60-70% of control and appeared to be due to an effect on the synthesis of the enzyme as judged by a suppression of the ability to incorporate [35S]methionine into immunoprecipitable lipoprotein lipase. There was no general effect on protein synthesis as determined by radiolabel incorporation into acid precipitable protein; however, after a 17 h exposure of the 3T3-L1 cells to recombinant interleukin 1, the synthesis of two proteins (molecular weights, 19,400 and 165,000 daltons) was enhanced several-fold. When the effect of Il-1 on the major metabolic pathways of the adipocyte was investigated, lipolysis as measured by glycerol release from the cells was markedly enhanced after a 17 h incubation with the hormone, while no effect was observed on de novo fatty acid synthesis. These effects on the metabolism of the adipocytes occur at concentration on a basis of molecules per cell, similar (only a 3-fold difference) to those required for stimulation of [3H]thymidine incorporation into mouse thymocyte DNA, suggesting that IL-1 may be a physiologically significant effector of adipocyte metabolism.  相似文献
