Abstract/OtherAbstract:
In the present study, we propose a continuous assay for the screening of sn-2 lipases by using triacylglycerols (TAGs) from Aleurites fordii seed (tung oil) and a synthetic TAG containing the α-eleostearic acid at sn-2 position and the oleic acid at sn-1 and sn-3 positions (sn-OEO). Each TAG was coated into microplate well and the lipase activity was measured by optical density increase at 272 nm due to transition of α-eleostearic acid from the adsorbed to the soluble state. sn-1,3-regioselective lipases (human pancreatic lipase (HPL) and LIP2 from Yarrowia lipolytica (YLLIP2) and a known sn-2 lipase (Candida antarctica lipase A, CALA) were used to validate this method. Thin layer chromatography analysis of lipolysis products showed that the lipases tested were able to hydrolyze the sn-OEO and the tung oil TAGs, but only CALA hydrolyzed the sn-2 position. The ratio of initial velocities on sn-OEO and tung oil TAGs was used to estimate the sn-2 preference of lipases. CALA was the enzyme with the highest ratio (0.220±015), while HPL and YLLIP2 showed a much lower ratio (0.072±0.026 and 0.038±0.016, respectively). This continuous sn-2 lipase assay is compatible with a high sample throughput and thus can be applied to the screening of sn-2 lipases.
