A molecular model of human pancreatic lipase (Winkler, F. K., D'Arcy, A., and Hunziker, W. (1990) Nature 343, 771-774) is used to explain the possible structural effects of the amino acid mutations identified to date in the human lipoprotein and hepatic lipase genes. A sequence homology profile was used to evaluate the alignment of the amino acid sequences of all three lipolytic enzymes (Kirchgessner, T. G., Chuat, J.-C., Heinzmann, C., Etienne, J., Guilhot, S., Svenson, K., Ameis, D., Pilon, C., D'Auriol, L., Andalibi, A., Schotz, M. C., Galibert, F., and Lusis, A. J. (1989) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 86, 9647-9651) with respect to the secondary structure elements identified in the pancreatic lipase. As expected, maximum homology is observed in internal regions namely the hydrophobic strands of the central beta-pleated sheet. This observation strongly supports the hypothesis that all three molecules exhibit a very similar three-dimensional structure, particularly in the N-terminal catalytic domain. There is considerable variation in some of the surface loops connecting the individual strands, whereas others are conserved. It is hypothesized that the most conserved loops located around the active site are responsible for the catalytic function (similar for all three enzymes), whereas those that markedly differ are involved in the regulation at the molecular level, namely the binding of colipase (pancreatic enzyme) and apolipoprotein CII (lipoprotein lipase). The currently available library of hepatic and lipoprotein gene mutations seems to indicate that the majority of mutants disrupt the folding of the polypeptide chain, rather than affect specific constellations in and around the catalytic site or regulatory loops. |
