Abstract
Cytosolic phosphatidic acid phospholipase A1 interacts with COPII protein family members and is required for the anterograde trafficking of GPCRs. The coat protein II (COPII)–coated vesicular system transports newly synthesized secretory and membrane proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi complex. Recruitment of cargo into COPII vesicles requires an interaction of COPII proteins either with the cargo molecules directly or with cargo receptors for anterograde trafficking. We show that cytosolic phosphatidic acid phospholipase A1 (PAPLA1) interacts with COPII protein family members and is required for the transport of Rh1 (rhodopsin 1), an N-glycosylated G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR), from the ER to the Golgi complex. In papla1 mutants, in the absence of transport to the Golgi, Rh1 is aberrantly glycosylated and is mislocalized. These defects lead to decreased levels of the protein and decreased sensitivity of the photoreceptors to light. Several GPCRs, including other rhodopsins and Bride of sevenless, are similarly affected. Our findings show that a cytosolic protein is necessary for transit of selective transmembrane receptor cargo by the COPII coat for anterograde trafficking.

Abstract
The triglyceride lipase gene subfamily plays a central role in lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. There are three members of this subfamily: lipoprotein lipase, hepatic lipase, and endothelial lipase. Although these lipases are implicated in the pathophysiology of hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis, their structures have not been fully solved. In the current study, we established homology models of these three lipases, and carried out analysis of their activity sites. In addition, we investigated the kinetic characteristics for the catalytic residues using a molecular dynamics simulation strategy. To elucidate the molecular interactions and determine potential key residues involved in the binding to lipase inhibitors, we analyzed the binding pockets and binding poses of known inhibitors of the three lipases. We identified the spatial consensus catalytic triad “Ser-Asp-His”, a characteristic motif in all three lipases. Furthermore, we found that the spatial characteristics of the binding pockets of the lipase molecules play a key role in ligand recognition, binding poses, and affinities. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report that systematically builds homology models of all the triglyceride lipase gene subfamily members. Our data provide novel insights into the molecular structures of lipases and their structure-function relationship, and thus provides groundwork for functional probe design towards lipase-based therapeutic inhibitors for the treatment of hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis.

Abstract
The effect of lipoprotein electrostatic properties on the catalytic regulation of hepatic lipase (HL) was investigated. Enrichment of serum or very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) with oleic acid increased lipoprotein negative charge and stimulated lipid hydrolysis by HL. Similarly, enrichment of serum or isolated lipoproteins with the anionic phospholipids phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidic acid, or phosphatidylserine also increased lipoprotein negative charge and stimulated hydrolysis by HL. Anionic lipids had a small effect on phospholipid hydrolysis, but significantly stimulated triacylglyceride (TG) hydrolysis. High density lipoprotein (HDL) charge appears to have a specific effect on lipolysis. Enrichment of HDL with PI significantly stimulated VLDL-TG hydrolysis by HL. To determine whether HDL charge affects the association of HL with HDL and VLDL, HL-lipoprotein interactions were probed immunochemically. Under normal circumstances, HL associates with HDL particles, and only small amounts bind to VLDL. PI enrichment of HDL blocked the binding of HL with HDL. These data indicate that increasing the negative charge of HDL stimulates VLDL-TG hydrolysis by reducing the association of HL with HDL. Therefore, HDL controls the hydrolysis of VLDL by affecting the interlipoprotein association of HL. Lipoprotein electrostatic properties regulate lipase association and are an important regulator of the binding and activity of lipolytic enzymes.

Abstract
Recent developments in understanding the biochemical and molecular nature of the CE hydrolases and their impact on cellular cholesterol trafficking have further defined the enzyme's mechanism of action with reasonable clarity. The availability of the cDNA probe for the human lysosomal acid lipase/CE hydrolase and the hormone-sensitive lipase now makes it possible to study CE hydrolase gene regulation and expression in human tissue; and it can now be stated with more assurance that the cytoplasmic CE hydrolase (NCEH) is most likely activated through phosphorylation by the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. Evidence also shows that the NCEH is most likely identical to the hormone-sensitive lipase and that it plays an important role in cholesterol efflux properties of the cell. Recent advances in the discovery of the role of the eicosanoid/cytokine network in the regulation of CE hydrolysis, highlighted in Figure 10, further emphasize the interesting but complex nature of the cholesterol trafficking processes in cells, particularly under pathophysiological conditions such as cell injury, repair, and inflammation. It can be speculated that in several years, when the crystal structure of the CE hydrolase is known, the structure-function properties of this enzyme's catalytic domain, as it relates to the physical state of the CE substrates, should further clarify the precise role of this enzyme in intracellular cholesterol mobilization and trafficking under a variety of cellular conditions.

Abstract
Human hepatic lipase (hHL) mainly exists cell surface bound, whereas mouse HL (mHL) circulates in the blood stream. Studies have suggested that the carboxyl terminus of HL mediates cell surface binding. We prepared recombinant hHL, mHL, and chimeric proteins (hHLmt and mHLht) in which the carboxyl terminal 70 amino acids of hHL were exchanged with the corresponding sequence from mHL. The hHL, mHL, and hHLmt proteins were catalytically active using triolein and tributyrin as substrates. In transfected cells, the majority of hHLs bound to the cell surface, with only 4% of total extracellular hHL released into heparin-free media, whereas under the same conditions, 61% of total extracellular mHLs were released. Like mHL, hHLmt showed decreased cell surface binding, with 68% of total extracellular hHLmt released. To determine the precise amino acid residues involved in cell surface binding, we prepared a truncated hHL mutant (hHL471) by deleting the carboxyl terminal five residues (KRKIR). The hHL471 also retained hydrolytic activity with triolein and tributyrin, and showed decreased cell surface binding, with 40% of total extracellular protein released into the heparin-free media. These data suggest that the determinants of cell surface binding exist within the carboxyl terminal 70 amino acids of hHL, of which the last five residues play an important role.

Abstract
Development of the lipase gene family spans the change in science that witnessed the birth of contemporary techniques of molecular biology. Amino acid sequencing of enzymes gave way to cDNA cloning and gene organization, augmented by in vitro expression systems and crystallization. This review traces the origins and highlights the functional significance of the lipase gene family, overlaid on the background of this technical revolution. The gene family initially consisted of three mammalian lipases [pancreatic lipase (PL), lipoprotein lipase, and hepatic lipase] based on amino acid sequence similarity and gene organization. Family size increased when several proteins were subsequently added based on amino acid homology, including PL-related proteins 1 and 2, phosphatidylserine phospholipase A1, and endothelial lipase. The physiological function of each of the members is discussed as well as the region responsible for lipase properties such as enzymatic activity, substrate binding, heparin binding, and cofactor interaction. Crystallization of several lipase gene family members established that the family belongs to a superfamily of enzymes, which includes esterases and thioesterases. This superfamily is related by tertiary structure, rather than amino acid sequence, and represents one of the most populous families found in nature.

Abstract
High density lipoprotein (HDL) particles and HDL cholesteryl esters are taken up by both receptor-mediated and non-receptor-mediated pathways. Here we show that cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) participate in hepatic lipase (HL)- and apolipoprotein (apo) E-mediated binding and uptake of mouse and human HDL by cultured hepatocytes. The HL secreted by HL-transfected McA-RH7777 cells enhanced both HDL binding at 4 degrees C (approximately 2-4-fold) and HDL uptake at 37 degrees C (approximately 2-5-fold). The enhanced binding and uptake of HDL were partially inhibited by the 39-kDa protein, an inhibitor of low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP), but were almost totally blocked by heparinase, which removes the sulfated glycosaminoglycan chains from HSPG. Therefore, HL may mediate the uptake of HDL by two pathways: an HSPG-dependent LRP pathway and an HSPG-dependent but LRP-independent pathway. The HL-mediated binding and uptake of HDL were only minimally reduced when catalytically inactive HL or LRP binding-defective HL was substituted for wild-type HL, indicating that much of the HDL uptake required neither HL binding to the LRP nor lipolytic processing. To study the role of HL in facilitating the selective uptake of cholesteryl esters, we used HDL into which radiolabeled cholesteryl ether had been incorporated. HL increased the selective uptake of HDL cholesteryl ether; this enhanced uptake was reduced by more than 80% by heparinase but was unaffected by the 39-kDa protein. Like HL, apoE enhanced the binding and uptake of HDL (approximately 2-fold) but had little effect on the selective uptake of HDL cholesteryl ether. In the presence of HL, apoE did not further increase the uptake of HDL, and at a high concentration apoE impaired or decreased the HL-mediated uptake of HDL. Therefore, HL and apoE may utilize similar (but not identical) binding sites to mediate HDL uptake. Although the relative importance of cell surface HSPG in the overall metabolism of HDL in vivo remains to be determined, cultured hepatocytes clearly displayed an HSPG-dependent pathway that mediates the binding and uptake of HDL. This study also demonstrates the importance of HL in enhancing the binding and uptake of remnant and low density lipoproteins via an HSPG-dependent pathway.

Abstract
We have cloned and sequenced a region encoding a lipase operon and a putative, previously uncharacterized metalloprotease of Vibrio cholerae O1. These lie downstream of hlyA and hlyB, which encode the El Tor hemolysin and methyl-accepting chemotactic factor, respectively. Previous reports identified the hlyC gene downstream of hlyAB, encoding an 18.3-kDa protein. However, we now show that this open reading frame (ORF) encodes a 33-kDa protein, and since the amino acid sequence is highly homologous to the triacylglyceride-specific lipase of Pseudomonas spp., hlyC has been renamed lipA. LipA contains the highly conserved pentapeptide and catalytic triad amino acid regions of the catalytic sites of other lipases. The region downstream of lipA has been sequenced and has revealed ORFs lipB and prtV. The amino acid sequence of lipB is homologous to those of the accessory lipase proteins (lipase-specific foldase) required by Pseudomonas and various other bacterial species for the production of mature active lipase, and in agreement with this, we show that both lipA and lipB are required to restore a lipase-deficient lipA null mutant of V. cholerae. The intergenic stop codon for lipA overlaps the ribosome-binding site for lipB, and a stem-loop resembling a rho-independent terminator is present immediately downstream from lipB, suggesting that lipA and lipB form a lipase operon in V. cholerae. prtV lies downstream of lipAB but is transcribed in the opposite direction and is predicted to share the same putative transcriptional terminator with lipAB. The zinc-binding and catalytic domains conserved among many metalloproteases are present in PrtV, which is highly homologous to the immune inhibitor A (InA) metalloprotease of Bacillus thuringiensis. PrtV was visualized as approximately 102 kDa, which is consistent with the coding capacity of the gene. The genetic organization of this region suggests that it is possibly part of a pathogenicity island, encoding products capable of damaging host cells and/or involved in nutrient acquisition by V. cholerae. However, neither lipA nor prtV null mutants were attenuated in the infant mouse model, nor did they exhibit reduced colonization potential compared with wild type in competition experiments.

Abstract
Bile salt-dependent lipase (BSDL, E.C. 3.1.1.-) is a digestive enzyme secreted by the pancreatic acinar cell. Once in the duodenum, the enzyme, upon activation by primary bile salts, hydrolyzes dietary lipid esters such as cholesteryl esters and lipid-soluble vitamin esters. This enzyme is partially transferred from the duodenum or pancreas to the circulation where it has been postulated to exert a systemic action on atheroma-generating oxidized-low density lipoprotein (LDL). In the present study, sera from 40 healthy normolipidemic volunteers were used to investigate the possible linkage between circulating BSDL, lipids, and lipoproteins. We showed, firstly, that pancreatic-like BSDL activity can be detected in these serums. Secondly, BSDL activity increased significantly with the level of LDL-cholesterol and was also positively linked to the serum concentration of Apo B100 and Apo A-I. Thirdly, we also established that BSDL was associated with LDL, in part by a specific interaction with Apo B100, while no interaction was found with Apo A-I. No linkage with other recorded parameters (triglycerides, phospholipids, and high density lipoprotein-cholesterol) was detected. Because an increase in LDL-cholesterol represents an important risk factor for atheroma, the concomitant increase in BSDL, which can metabolize atherogenic LDL, suggests for the first time that this circulating enzyme may exert a positive effect against atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Utilization of genetic engineering techniques to create novel functional lipases has increased knowledge of structure-function relationships in this important class of enzymes. The examples of engineered lipases presented in this chapter addressed the investigation of domain-specific properties, heparin binding, and subunit orientation. Conclusions reached are credible because the designed lipases retained catalytic activity, implying native, or near-native, conformation. This approach has demonstrated vigor by determining the domain location of several important enzyme functions and by providing the first evidence that LPL subunits are arranged in a head-to-tail orientation. In conjunction with physical techniques, such as crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, the engineered lipase approach could reveal new insights into the mechanism by which lipolysis is accomplished. The studies described here represent only the first attempts to explore that subject; more sophisticated lipase engineering will be used in future as a window into structure-function relationships.

Abstract
Chinese hamster ovary cells were stably transfected with a human hepatic lipase (HL) cDNA. The recombinant enzyme was purified from culture medium in milligram quantities and shown to have a molecular weight, specific activity, and heparin affinity equivalent to HL present in human post-heparin plasma. The techniques of intensity light scattering, sedimentation equilibrium, and radiation inactivation were employed to assess the subunit structure of HL. For intensity light scattering, purified enzyme was subjected to size exclusion chromatography coupled to three detectors in series: an ultraviolet absorbance monitor, a differential refractometer, and a light scattering photometer. The polypeptide molecular weight (without carbohydrate contributions) was calculated using the measurements from the three detectors combined with the extinction coefficient of human HL. A single protein peak containing HL activity was identified and calculated to have a molecular mass of 107,000 in excellent agreement with the expected value for a dimer of HL (106.8 kDa). In addition, sedimentation equilibrium studies revealed that HL had a molecular mass (with carbohydrate contributions) of 121 kDa. Finally, to determine the smallest structural unit required for lipolytic activity, HL was subjected to radiation inactivation. Purified HL was exposed to various doses of high energy electrons at -135 degrees C; lipase activity decreased as a single exponential function of the radiation dose to less than 0.01% remaining activity. The target size of functional HL was calculated to be 109 kDa, whereas the size of the structural unit was determined to be 63 kDa. These data indicate that two HL monomer subunits are required for lipolytic activity, consistent with an HL homodimer. A model for active dimeric hepatic lipase is presented with implications for physiological function.

Abstract
Phenylboronates are competitive inhibitors of serine. hydrolases including lipases. We studied the effect of m-aminophenylboronate on triglyceride-hydrolyzing activity of hepatic lipase (EC 3.1,1.3). m-Aminophenylboronate inhibited hepatic lipase activity with a Ki value of 55 microM. Furthermore, m-aminophenylboronate protected hepatic lipase activity from inhibition by di-isopropyl fluorophosphate, an irreversible active site inhibitor of serine hydrolases. Inhibition of hepatic lipase activity by m-aminophenylboronate was pH-dependent. The inhibition was maximal at pH 7.5, while at pH 10 it was almost non-existent. These data were used to develop a purification procedure for postheparin plasma hepatic lipase and lipoprotein lipase. The method is a combination of m-aminophenylboronate and heparin-Sepharose affinity chromatographies. Hepatic lipase was purified to homogeneity as analyzed on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The specific activity of purified hepatic lipase was 5.46 mmol free fatty acids h-1 mg-1 protein with a total purification factor of 14,400 and a final recovery of approximately 20%. The recovery of hepatic lipase activity in m-aminophenylboronate affinity chromatography step was 95%. The purified lipoprotein lipase was a homogeneous protein with a specific activity of 8.27 mmol free fatty acids h-1 mg-1. The purification factor was 23,400 and the final recovery approximately 20%. The recovery of lipoprotein lipase activity in the m-aminophenylboronate affinity chromatography step was 87%. The phenylboronate affinity chromatography step can be used for purification of serine hydrolases which interact with boronates.

Abstract
The function of lipoprotein lipase (LpL) and hepatic lipase (HL) has been related to atherogenesis by several authors in the past, but convincing experimental and epidemiological evidence to support this hypothesis has been obtained only in the last years. For both enzymes, next to their role in the hydrolysis of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, a second important function has been described recently. Both lipases can mediate the binding and subsequent uptake of lipoproteins into cells. Although this function has been clearly demonstrated in vitro for various cell types, the physiological or pathophysiological relevance remains hypothetical until final elucidation in vivo.

Abstract
Hepatic lipase (HL) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) are key enzymes that mediate the hydrolysis of triglycerides (TG) and phospholipids (PL) present in circulating plasma lipoproteins. Relative to triacylglycerol hydrolysis, HL displays higher phospholipase activity than LPL. The structural basis for this difference in substrate specificity has not been definitively established. We recently demonstrated that the 22-amino acid loops ("lids") covering the catalytic sites of LPL and HL are critical for the interaction with lipid substrate (Dugi, K.A., Dichek, H.L., Talley, G.D., Brewer, H.B., Jr., and Santamarina-Fojo, S. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 25086-25091). To determine whether the lipase lid plays a role in conferring the different substrate specificities of HL and LPL, we have generated four chimeric lipases. Characterization of these chimeric enzymes using TG (triolein and tributyrin) or PL (dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) vesicles, DOPC proteoliposomes, and DOPC-mixed liposomes) substrates demonstrated marked differences between their relative PL/TG hydrolyzing activities. Chimeric LPL containing the lid of HL had reduced triolein hydrolyzing activity (49% of the wild type), but increased phospholipase activity in DOPC vesicle, DOPC proteoliposome, and DOPC-mixed liposome assay systems (443, 628, and 327% of wild-type LPL, respectively). In contrast, chimeric HL containing the LPL lid was more active against triolein (123% of the wild type) and less active against DOPC (23, 0, and 30%, respectively) than normal HL. Similar results were obtained when the lipase lids were exchanged in chimeric enzymes containing the NH2-terminal end of LPL and the COOH-terminal domain of HL. Exchange of the LPL and HL lids resulted in a reversal of the phospholipase/neutral lipase ratio, establishing the important role of this region in mediating substrate specificity. In summary, the lid covering the catalytic domains in LPL and HL plays a crucial role in determining lipase substrate specificity. The lid of LPL confers preferential triglyceride hydrolysis, whereas the lid of HL augments phospholipase activity. This study provides new insight into the structural basis for the observed in vivo differences in LPL and HL function.

Abstract
In order to gain better understanding of the function of hepatic lipase (HL) in vivo, we have generated mice that lack HL using gene targeting in embryonic stem cells. No mRNA for HL was detected in the liver of homozygous mutants, and no HL activity was detected in their plasma. Total cholesterol levels in plasma of mutant mice were increased by about 30% compared with wild type animals. Plasma phospholipids and high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol were also increased, but plasma levels of triglycerides were not altered. Analysis of density fractions of plasma lipoproteins revealed that HDL1 (d = 1.02-1.04) was increased in homozygous mutants fed regular chow. In response to a diet containing high fat and high cholesterol, HDL cholesterol was doubled in the mutants, but was slightly decreased in the wild type mice. These results clearly demonstrate the importance of HL in HDL remodeling and metabolism in vivo. Various earlier studies suggested a role of HL in metabolism of triglyceride-rich particles, but the mutant mice appear to have no impairment in clearing them; the mutants clear exogenously introduced chylomicrons from plasma at a normal rate, and they tolerate acute fat loading as well as normal animals unless the loading is extreme. These differences may reflect species differences. However, it is also possible that the consequence of absence of HL as in our mutants is different from the consequence when nonfunctional HL protein is present as in the human HL-deficient patients and in rats treated with HL antibodies. We hypothesize that absence of HL in mutant mice allows other lipases to bind to the sites in the liver normally occupied by HL and facilitate the clearance of triglyceride-rich particles in these mice.

Abstract
The consensus pentapeptide GXSXG is found in virtually all lipases/esterases and generally contains the active site serine. The primary sequence of hormone-sensitive lipase contains a single copy of this pentapeptide, surrounding Ser-423. We have analyzed the catalytic role of Ser-423 by site-directed mutagenesis and expression of the mutant hormone-sensitive lipase in COS cells. Substitution of Ser-423 by several different amino acids resulted in the complete abolition of both lipase and esterase activity, whereas mutation of other conserved serine residues had no effect on the catalytic activity. These results strongly suggest that Ser-423 is the active site serine of hormone-sensitive lipase.

Abstract
Lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) is a hydrolase essential for the intracellular degradation of cholesteryl esters and triacylglycerols. This report describes a multi-step procedure for the purification of LAL from human liver. After solubilization with non-ionic detergent, acid hydrolase activity was purified 17000-fold to apparent homogeneity by sequential chromatography on Concanavalin A Sepharose, carboxymethyl-cellulose, phenyl Superose, Mono S cation exchange and Superose 12 gel-filtration columns. This procedure yielded two silver-staining protein bands of 56 kDa and 41 kDa on SDS/PAGE. Size-exclusion chromatography of the 41-kDa protein indicated that the enzyme was catalytically competent as a monomer of approximately 38 kDa. When assayed in the presence of cholesteryl oleate or trioleoylglycerol, purified acid lipase had Vmax values of 4390 nmol fatty acid.min-1.mg protein and 4756 nmol fatty acid.min-1.mg protein-1, and apparent Km values of 0.142 mM and 0.138 mM, respectively. The purified enzyme was most active at low pH (4.5-5.0) and required non-ionic detergent and ethylene glycol for optimal stability. Incubation of the 41-kDa acid lipase with endoglucosaminidase H reduced the molecular mass by 4-6 kDa, demonstrating Asn-linked glycosylation with high-mannose oligosaccharides. Deglycosylation did not affect enzymic activity, indicating that carbohydrates are not required for LAL activity. Based on partial peptide sequence, an oligonucleotide was synthesized and utilized to isolate LAL cDNA clones from a human liver cDNA library. A full-length LAL cDNA contained 2626 nucleotides and coded for a predicted protein of 372 amino acids, preceded by a 27 residue hydrophobic signal peptide. Hepatic LAL differed from fibroblast acid lipase at the N-terminus and revealed extensive similarities with human gastric lipase and rat lingual lipase, confirming a gene family of acid lipases. Northern hybridization using the complete LAL cDNA as a radiolabeled probe indicated striking differences in mRNA expression among human tissues. LAL mRNA was most abundant in brain, lung, kidney and mammary gland. Placenta and HeLa cells expressed intermediate amounts of LAL mRNA, while RNA extracted from liver and heart showed low levels of expression.

Abstract
We have purified and characterized two isoenzymes from a commercial lipase preparation of Candida cylindracea. The purification procedure includes ethanol precipitation and DEAE-Sephacel and Sephacryl HR 100 chromatographies. Lipase A and lipase B were purified 11-fold with a 5% and 21% recovery in activity, respectively. The enzymes have similar amino acid content, N-terminal sequence and molecular weight, but differ on neutral sugar content, hydrophobicity, presence of isoforms and stability to pH and temperature. They also show some differences in the substrate specificity.

Abstract
The lipA gene encoding the extracellular lipase produced by Pseudomonas glumae PG1 was cloned and characterized. A sequence analysis revealed an open reading frame of 358 codons encoding the mature lipase (319 amino acids) preceded by a rather long signal sequence of 39 amino acids. As a first step in structure-function analysis, we determined the Ser-Asp-His triad which makes up the catalytic site of this lipase. On the basis of primary sequence homology with other known Pseudomonas lipases, a number of putative active site residues located in conserved areas were found. To determine the residues actually involved in catalysis, we constructed a number of substitution mutants for conserved Ser, Asp, and His residues. These mutant lipases were produced by using P. glumae PG3, from which the wild-type lipase gene was deleted by gene replacement. By following this approach, we showed that Ser-87, Asp-241, and His-285 make up the catalytic triad of the P. glumae lipase. This knowledge, together with information on the catalytic mechanism and on the three-dimensional structure, should facilitate the selection of specific modifications for tailoring this lipase for specific industrial applications.

Abstract
An extracellular lipase secreted by Pseudomonas aeruginosa TE3285 was purified. A genomic library of this strain was constructed in lambda EMBL3, and a DNA fragment 2.7 kb long containing the lipase gene, lipA, was isolated with an oligonucleotide probe synthesized on the basis of the partial amino acid sequence of a purified preparation of the enzyme. Nucleotide sequence analysis showed an open reading frame of 933 bases, and the deduced amino acid sequence agreed well with the molecular mass and partial amino acid sequences of mature lipase. The results of alignment of the amino acid sequences of five lipases from Pseudomonas species considered together with the published crystal structure studied with human pancreatic lipase showed that Ser82, His251, and Asp209 were catalytic residues and that a surface loop from residues 172 to 204 was responsible for the substrate specificity. About 50 bases downstream of lipA, there was another gene, lipB. The sequence of lipB was highly homologous to that of putative modulators of the production of active lipases in other Pseudomonas species. Expression plasmids encoding lipA followed by the complete or incomplete lipB gene downstream of the lac promoter of pUC18 were constructed. lipA was expressed in Escherichia coli 1100 only in the presence of the complete lipB gene.

Abstract
The gene coding for an extracellular lipase of Bacillus subtilis 168 was cloned and found to be expressed in Escherichia coli. Enzyme activity measurements showed no fatty acid chain length preference. A set of Tn5 insertions which inactivate the gene were localized and used to initiate its sequencing. The nucleotide sequence was determined on two independent clones expressed in E. coli. In one of these clones, the sequence revealed a frameshift, due to the presence of an additional adenine in the N-terminal region, which caused the interruption of the open reading frame, probably allowing translation to initiate at a second ATG codon. The sequence of the wild-type lip gene from B. subtilis was confirmed on the chromosomal fragment amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). When compared to other lipases sequenced to date, the enzyme described here lacks the conserved pentapeptide Gly-X-Ser-X-Gly supposed to be essential for catalysis. However, alignments of several microbial lipase sequences suggest that the pentapeptide Ala-X-Ser-X-Gly present in the lipase B. subtilis may function as the catalytic site. Homologies were found in the N-terminal protein region with lipases from different Pseudomonas species. The predicted M(r) and isoelectric point for the mature protein are 19,348 and 9.7 respectively.

Abstract
The functions of serine residues at positions 181 and 216 of human plasma lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase have been studied by site-directed mutagenesis. The serine residue at either site was replaced by alanine, glycine, or threonine in LCAT secreted from stably transfected CHO cells. All substitutions at position 181 gave rise to an enzyme product that was normally secreted but had no detectable catalytic activity. On the other hand, all substitutions at position 216 gave active products, whose activity was fully inhibitable by the serine esterase inhibitor diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP). A secondary (although not direct) role for serine-216 was indicated by a 14-fold increase in catalytic rate when this residue was substituted by alanine. Sequence comparison with other lipases suggests that serine-216 may be at or near the hinge of a helical flap displaced following substrate binding. These data strengthen the structural-functional relationship between LCAT and other lipases.

Abstract
A cDNA coding for the mouse hepatic triglyceride lipase has been isolated from a mouse liver cDNA library. The nucleotide sequence of the cDNA shows an open reading frame encoding a polypeptide of 510 amino acids that is 91.5% and 86% homologous to rat and human hepatic lipase, respectively. The most drastic protein sequence divergence is found at the carboxyterminal end which was speculated to harbour one heparin-binding site. By in vitro translation of cRNA in the presence of pancreatic membranes the hepatic lipase was shown to be glycosylated and to have an electrophoretic mobility of 53 kDa.

Abstract
A gene (mdlA) encoding mono- and diacylglycerol lipase (MDGL) from Penicillium camembertii U-150 has been cloned using a 0.9-kb DNA fragment, generated by mixed oligodeoxyribonucleotide (oligo)-primed polymerase chain reaction (PCR), as a probe. Comparison of the nucleotide sequence of the gene and its cDNA clone, obtained by PCR, revealed the presence of two short introns (56 and 53 bp). Two transcription start points (tsp) were localized by primer extension analysis at 37 and 30 bp upstream from the ATG start codon and were preceded by the canonical TATAAA and CAAT sequences. The deduced amino acid (aa) sequence corresponds to 305 aa including a putative signal peptide of 26 aa. Despite significant differences in substrate specificity, the primary structure of the mature region shows homology (29% and 40%) to the triacylglycerol lipases from Mucor miehei and Humicola lanuginosa. Furthermore, the three residues presumed to form the catalytic site, serine, aspartic acid and histidine, are conserved. Primary structure comparisons of MDGL and triacylglycerol lipases are shown.

Abstract
The lip2 gene from the antarctic psychotroph Moraxella TA144 was sequenced. The primary structure of the Lip2 preprotein deduced from the nucleotide sequence is composed of 433 amino acids with a predicted Mr of 47,222. This enzyme contains a Ser-centered consensus sequence and a conserved His-Gly dipeptide found in most lipase amino-terminal domains. These sequences are involved in the lipase active site conformation since substitution of the conserved Ser or His residues by Ala and Gln, respectively, results in the loss of both lipase and esterase activities. Structural factors that would allow proper enzyme flexibility at low temperatures are discussed. It is suggested that only subtle changes in the primary structure of these psychrotrophic enzymes can account for their ability to catalyze lipolysis at temperatures close to 0 degrees C.

Abstract
cDNA clones coding for mouse hepatic triacylglycerol lipase (HL) were isolated from a mouse liver cDNA library with a human HL cDNA as a probe. The cloned HL cDNA of 1652 nucleotides predicts a mature protein of 488 amino acids preceded by a signal peptide of 22 amino acids. Two potential sites for N-glycosylation are identified, which are both conserved in rat and human HL. Combined lipase deficiency (cld) is a recessive mutation in mice, which causes the functional deficiency of HL and lipoprotein lipase, the isolated cDNA was used to study the expression of HL gene in cld/cld mice. Northern blot analysis of total cellular RNA from livers of cld/cld and normal mice showed that there are two mRNA species for HL with the sizes of 1.8 and 1.9 kilobases in both groups. However, the mRNA for HL was more abundant in cld/cld than in normal mice. RNase A protection assay of HL mRNA suggested that the multiple mRNA species for HL in cld/cld and normal mice are generated by differential utilization of polyadenylation signals and that there is no mutation in the structural gene for HL in cld/cld mice. The present study supports our hypothesis that the defect of HL activity in cld/cld mice is caused by abnormal post translational modification or processing of the lipase.
