Chimeras of Hepatic Lipase and Lipoprotein Lipase
Chimeric molecules between human lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and rat hepatic lipase (HL) were used to identify structural elements responsible for functional differences. Based on the close sequence homology with pancreatic lipase, both LPL and HL are believed to have a two-domain structure composed of an aminoterminal (NHz-terminal) domain containing the catalytic Ser-His-Asp triad and a smaller ...
متن کاملLipoprotein lipase, hepatic lipase, and carnitine in premature infants.
Twenty six preterm infants were studied at the age of 2, 7, and 26 days. The activities of lipoprotein and hepatic lipase in plasma taken 15 minutes after a heparin bolus of 100 IU/kg had been given and the concentrations of carnitine in serum and urine were measured. The mean gestational age was 31 weeks (range 26-35 weeks) and birth weight 1580 g (range 840-2280 g). Thirteen infants weighed u...
متن کاملFunctional characterization of a chimeric lipase genetically engineered from human lipoprotein lipase and human hepatic lipase.
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hepatic lipase (HL) mediate the hydrolysis of triglycerides and phospholipids present in circulating lipoprotein particles and are essential for normal lipid metabolism. Both enzymes have a similar primary amino acid structure and share requirements for intact catalytic, lipid binding, and heparin binding domains. However, LPL and HL exhibit different substrate spec...
متن کاملSubstrate specificity of lipoprotein lipase and endothelial lipase: studies of lid chimeras.
The triglyceride (TG) lipase gene subfamily, consisting of LPL, HL, and endothelial lipase (EL), plays a central role in plasma lipoprotein metabolism. Compared with LPL and HL, EL is relatively more active as a phospholipase than as a TG lipase. The amino acid loop or "lid" covering the catalytic site has been implicated as the basis for the difference in substrate specificity between HL and L...
متن کاملHepatic lipase, lipoprotein metabolism, and atherogenesis.
The role of hepatic lipase as a multifunctional protein that modulates lipoprotein metabolism and atherosclerosis has been extensively documented over the last decade. Hepatic lipase functions as a lipolytic enzyme that hydrolyzes triglycerides and phospholipids present in circulating plasma lipoproteins. Hepatic lipase also serves as a ligand that facilitates lipoprotein uptake by cell surface...
