Lipoprotein lipase cofactor activity of a carboxyl-terminal peptide of apolipoprotein C-II.
Apolipoprotein C-II (apoC-II) is a small protein found associated with the plasma lipoproteins. It serves a unique function in the activation of the enzyme lipoprotein lipase (triacylglycerol acyl-hydrolase, EC 3.1.1.3). ApoC-II contains a single arginine residue, permitting tryptic cleavage into two peptides after succinylation of the native protein. The succinylated amino-terminal peptide, ap...
متن کاملReduction of plasma triglycerides in apolipoprotein C-II transgenic mice overexpressing lipoprotein lipase in muscle.
LPL and its specific physiological activator, apolipoprotein C-II (apoC-II), regulate the hydrolysis of triglycerides (TGs) from circulating TG-rich lipoproteins. Previously, we developed a skeletal muscle-specific LPL transgenic mouse that had lower plasma TG levels. ApoC-II transgenic mice develop hypertriglyceridemia attributed to delayed clearance. To investigate whether overexpression of L...
متن کاملMolecular basis of familial chylomicronemia: mutations in the lipoprotein lipase and apolipoprotein C-II genes.
The molecular basis of familial chylomicronemia (type I hyperlipoproteinemia), a rare autosomal recessive trait, was investigated in six unrelated individuals (five of Spanish descent and one of Northern European extraction). DNA amplification by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis allowed rapid identification of the underlying mut...
متن کاملActivation of Lipoprotein Lipase
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) from rat heart acetone powders has been reported to depend on the presence of NH4 + , calcium, or other divalent cations for optimal activity. In addition, the enzyme will not hydrolyze an artificial triglyceride emulsion unless it is converted to an active substrate by the addition of very low density lipoproteins, high density lipoproteins (HDL), or certain peptides c...
متن کاملActivation of lipoprotein lipase by lipoprotein fractions of human serum.
Triglycerides in fat emulsions are hydrolyzed by lipoprotein lipase only when they are "activated" by serum lipoproteins. The contribution of different lipoprotein fractions to hydrolysis of triglycerides in soybean oil emulsion was assessed by determining the quantity of lipoprotein fraction required to give half-maximal hydrolysis. Most of the activator property of whole serum from normolipid...
