Abstract
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Tgl2 protein shows sequence homology to Pseudomonas triacylglycerol (TAG) lipases, but its role in the yeast lipid metabolism is not known. Using hemagglutinin-tagged Tgl2p purified from yeast, we report that this protein carries a significant lipolytic activity toward long-chain TAG. Importantly, mutant hemagglutinin-Tgl2p(S144A), which contains alanine 144 in place of serine 144 in the lipase consensus sequence (G/A)XSXG exhibits no such activity. Although cellular TAG hydrolysis is reduced in the tgl2 deletion mutant, overproduction of Tgl2p in this mutant leads to an increase in TAG degradation in the presence of fatty acid synthesis inhibitor cerulenin, but that of Tgl2p(S144A) does not. This result demonstrates the lipolytic function of Tgl2p in yeast. Although other yeast TAG lipases are localized to lipid particles, Tgl2p is enriched in the mitochondria. The mitochondrial fraction purified from the TGL2-overexpressing yeast shows a strong lipolytic activity, which was absent in the tgl2 deletion mutant. Therefore, we conclude that Tgl2p is a functional lipase of the yeast mitochondria. By analyzing phenotypic effects of TGL2-deficient yeast, we also find that lipolysis-competent Tgl2p is required for the viability of cells treated with antimitotic drug. The addition of oleic acid, the product of Tgl2p-catalyzed lipolysis, fully complements the antimitotic drug sensitivity of the tgl2 null mutation. Thus, we propose that the mitochondrial Tgl2p-dependent lipolysis is crucial for the survival of cells under antimitotic drug treatment.

Abstract
Previous work from our laboratory (Athenstaedt, K., Zweytick, D., Jandrositz, A., Kohlwein, S. D., and Daum, G. (1999) J. Bacteriol. 181, 6441-6448) showed that the gene product of YMR313c (named Tgl3p) is a component of yeast lipid particles, and deletion of this gene led to an increase in the cellular level of triacylglycerols (TAG). These observations suggested that TGL3 may encode a TAG lipase of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here we demonstrate by cell fractionation and by microscopic inspection of a strain bearing a Tgl3p-GFP hybrid that this polypeptide is highly enriched in the lipid particle fraction but virtually absent from other organelles. The entire TAG lipase activity of lipid particles is attributed to Tgl3p, because the activity in this organelle is completely absent in a Deltatgl3 deletion mutant, whereas it is significantly enhanced in a strain overexpressing Tgl3p. A His6-tagged Tgl3p hybrid purified close to homogeneity from a yeast strain overexpressing this fusion protein exhibited high TAG lipase activity. Most importantly, experiments in vivo using the fatty acid synthesis inhibitor cerulenin demonstrated that deletion of TGL3 resulted in a decreased mobilization of TAG from lipid particles. The amino acid sequence deduced from the open reading frame YMR313c contains the consensus sequence motif GXSXG typical for lipolytic enzymes. Otherwise, Tgl3p has no significant sequence homology to other lipases identified so far. In summary, our data identified Tgl3p as a novel yeast TAG lipase at the molecular level and by function in vivo and in vitro.

Abstract
An extracellular esterase was isolated from the brewer's yeast, Saccharomyces carlsbergensis. Inhibition by diisopropyl fluorophosphate shows that the enzyme has a serine active site. By mass spectrometry, the molecular weight of the enzyme was 16.9 kDa. The optimal pH for activity was in the range of four to five. Esterase activity was found in beer before pasteurization, and a low level of activity was still present after pasteurization. Caprylic acid, which is present in beer, competitively inhibited the esterase. The substrate preference towards esters of p-nitrophenol indicated that the enzyme prefers esters of fatty acids from four to 16 carbon atoms. The esterase has lipolytical activity; olive oil (C-18:1), which is a classical substrate for lipase, was hydrolysed. N-terminal sequence analysis of the esterase yielded a sequence which was identical to the deduced amino acid sequence of the S. cerevisiae TIP1 gene. The esterase preparation did not appear to contain significant amounts of other proteins than Tip1p, indicating that the TIP1 gene is the structural gene for the esterase.

Abstract
So far, reviews that have appeared on fungal lipids present data mainly on the lipid composition of these organisms and the influence of lipids on their physiology. These reviews provide little information about the enzymes of lipid metabolism in these organisms and it is assumed, by most workers, that lipid synthesis in all fungi takes place as in Saccharomyces cervesiae, the only fungus in which the complete pathways of phospholipid biosynthesis have been worked out. During the last few years, literature has accumulated on lipid metabolic enzymes of other fungi, as investigators became increasingly interested in this area of research. The present review, after an introduction, will be divided into different sections and each section will deal, comparatively, with various aspects of fungal lipid metabolism and physiology. This review will, therefore, bring out the differences or similarities of lipid metabolism in diverse fungal species.

Abstract
Several different binding mechanisms appear to be involved in the binding of beta 2-glycoprotein I to biological membranes. One of these mechanisms is a hydrophilic interaction between negatively-charged phospholipids in the membrane and histidine residues in beta 2-glycoprotein I. This mechanism seems to be involved in binding of the protein to mitochondria but not to platelets. Another mechanism may involve a site on beta 2-glycoprotein I, which binds to the steroid ring system particularly to such steroids not having a 7-hydroxy group. This type of binding may be involved in the interaction between beta 2-glycoprotein I and platelets as well as mitochondria.

Abstract
An acidic cholesteryl ester hydrolase (EC 3.1.1.13) from rat liver lysosomes was purified approximately 120-fold with 5% recovery of the original homogenate activity. The sequential steps were: digitonin solubilization, agarose gel filtration, DEAE-agarose and CM-agarose column chromatography. The enzyme was at least 90% pure as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. It exhibited a molecular weight of about 60 000 as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide electrophoresis and gel filtration. The soluble enzyme required substrate which was incorporated into phospholipid vehicles for optimal activity. On the contrary, aggregates of the enzyme required a substrate preparation that involved the direct addition of cholesteryl ester in acetone. The enzyme also catalyzed the hydrolysis of emulsions of triacylglycerol. The ratio of the two activities remained almost constant during purification suggesting that the two activities (EC 3.1.1.13 and EC 3.1.1.3, respectively) may be the result of the broad specificity of one enzyme. The effects of some inhibitors and some properties of the enzyme have been studied and discussed.

Abstract
The acylglycerol content of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been examined during cellular growth. The cells maintained a constant amount of phospholipid and diacylglycerol throughout growth. Triacylglycerol content fell in the early exponential phase of growth and then increased sharply upon entry of the culture into the stationary growth phase. Pulse-chase experiments with [1-14C]oleic acid and [2-3H]- and [1-14C]glycerol indicated that the triacylglycerol molecule was utilized for phospholipid synthesis in early exponential phase probably through a diacylglycerol intermediate. A substantial turnover of phospholipid during growth was also apparent. No role for the triacylglycerol could be found in regulating the fatty acid species of the phospholipid nor in the storage of fatty acid for energy metabolism.

Abstract
A serum protein named agglutinin is able to induce mitochondria to agglutinate. The protein has been purified from human serum by chromatography on DE-52. Sephadex G-200 and immunoglobulin-Sepharose 4B columns. Agglutinin is a glycoprotein that migrates electrophoretically as a gamma-globulin. Its molecular weight was determined to be 50,000 on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Monospecific antiserum prepared against the agglutinin was found to be identical with anti-beta 2-glycoprotein I and agglutinating activity could be adsorbed on anti-beta 2-glycoprotein I-Sepharose 4B columns. Thus, the agglutinin has been identified as beta 2-glycoprotein I. The reaction between mitochondria and agglutinin shows positive cooperativity, which is independent on the stage of purification of agglutinin. The agglutinating activity could be diminished (inhibited) by acidic non-soluble lipids such as oleic acid, phosphatidic acid, phosphatidyl serine and phosphatidyl inositol.

Abstract
After exposure to serum, an agglutination of mitochondria from yeast, liver, heart and kidney was observed. The degree of agglutination was dependent on the ratio between the amount of serum proteins and mitochondrial protein. The serum protein which induced agglutination was bound irreversibly to the mitochondria, was heat stable and partly resistant to acidification. Maximal agglutination was observed at an ionic strength equal to 40 mM Tris, at pH 6.0-7.5. Preincubation of mitochondria with calcium ions at slightly acidic pH prevented the agglutination. Neuraminidase treatment of either serum or mitochondria had no effect upon the agglutination.

Abstract
Triacylglycerol synthesis has been studied in a lipid particle preparation of baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), and compared with the synthesis in other subcellular fractions. Fatty acid-CoA ligase (AMP) (EC 6.2.1.3) activity and sn-glycerol 3-phosphate acyltransferase activity (EC 2.3.1.15) were present in all the subcellular fractions tested but the highest specific activities of both enzymes were observed with the lipid particle fraction. The products of the glycerol 3-phosphate acylation indicate that triacyglycerol synthesis proceeds through the phosphatidic acid pathway. However, only a small and nearly constant amount of lysophosphatidic acid was found with the lipid particle fraction while the other subcellular fraction produced lysophosphatidic and phosphatidic acid with a more pronounced precursor/product relationship. Triacylglycerol synthesis from endogenous diacylglycerol present in the lipid particle was also demonstrated.

Abstract
In homogenates of resting rapeseeds no lipase activity (glycerolester hydrolase, EC 3.1.1.3) could be detected using a titrimetric assay procedure. Following a 30-h lag-phase after imbibition, lipase activity increased sharply, reaching its maximum at day 4 after sowing. Simultaneously triglyceride content of the cotyledons decreased sharply. At any time during the 11-day period of seedling growth examined, only an alkaline lipase activity with a pH optimum around 9 was present. White light had essentially no effect on the development of lipase activity. However, the disappearance of lipase activity from the cotyledons after fat utilization was found to depend on nitrogen nutrition of the seedlings. The activities of the glyoxysomal enzymes catalase and malate synthetase showed the usual rise and fall patterns with peak activities at day 4 after sowing, independently of the mineral nutrition of the seedlings.About 90% of the lipase activity was associated with a microsomal membrane fraction. Resolution of this fraction by sucrose density gradient centrifugation (62,000 g for 14 h) yielded three distinct membrane fractions. Maximum activities of membrane marker enzymes were recovered from the gradients at following densities: The major portion of microsomal protein and lipase activity at 1.085 kg/l; microsomal malate synthetase and phosphorylcholineglyceride transferase at 1.116 kg/l; NADH-cytochrome c reductase and phosphorylcholinecytidyl transferase at 1.133 kg/l. Evidently in rapeseed cotyledons lipase activity is associated only with a discrete microsomal membrane fraction which sediments differently from membrane fractions of the endoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract
A mixture of small (0.43-mum diameter) and large (0.62-mum diameter) low-density vesicles from spheroplasts of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was fractionated by rate centrifugation in a gradient of 0 to 8% (wt/vol) Ficoll to yield fractions rich (90 to 95%) in small or large vesicles. The large, but not small, vesicles swelled when diluted into mannitol solutions containing less than 0.4 M mannitol. The pH-electrophoretic mobility curve of the large vesicles showed that they are probably enclosed in a phospholipid-protein membrane. The dyes neutral red and toluidine blue, accumulated into large vesicles by intact cells and spheroplasts, were largely lost from large vesicles when these were separated from stained spheroplasts. Sudan black III stained small and large vesicles, both classes of vesicle retaining the stain on separation. Fractions rich in large vesicles contained proportionately more phospholipid and less free sterols, diacylglycerols, and free fatty acids compared with those enriched in small vesicles. The two classes of vesicles contained about the same proportions of esterified sterols and triacylglycerols. The free fatty acids in both small and large vesicles were free from unsaturated fatty-acyl residues; diacylglycerols and triacylglycerols contained appreciable proportions of unsaturated fatty-acyl residues. Small vesicles were richer in lipase activity, whereas the larger vesicles contained greater beta-glucanase and alpha-mannosidase activities. Phospholipase activity could not be detected in any of the fractions.

Abstract
A triacylglycerol lipase in a mitochondrial fraction isolated from yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) has been characterized and the hydrolysis studied kinetically using an insoluble artificial triacylglycerol suspension. 1. The triacylglycerol was hydrolyzed almost completely to fatty acids and glycerol. The lipase activity was inhibited by potassium fluoride and the sodium salts of -chloride, -glycocholate and -pyrophosphate as well as by protamine sulfate but at concentrations much too high to indicate that the lipase is a non specific esterase or a lipoprotein lipase. Also parachloromercuribenzoate inhibited the lipase activity. Inhibitory effect of fatty acid was observed at concentrations above 1mM. This inhibition may provide a regulatory mechanism of the lipase in vivo. 2. On the day of isolation the lipase activity of intact mitochondria at pH 7.5 and 30 degrees C was 400 nmol free fatty acid -h-1 - mg-1 at a triacylglycerol concentration of 9.0 mM. Sonication of the mitochondria increased the activity 2-3 fold. Freezing of the mitochondria also activated the lipase and this activation was dependent upon the freezing method, the concentration of mitochondrial protein and the presence of bovine serum albumin. 3. The particulate nature of the assay system was illustrated by the observation that the apparent Km value of the lipase increased with the concentration of mitochondrial protein. For each protein concentration the lipase had two apparent Km values when the activity was assayed with intact mitochondria, but only one when assayed with submitochondrial particles. At the same protein concentration the Km value for the latter was identical with the "low affinity" Km for the lipase in intact mitochondria.
