Diacylglycerol lipase and kinase activities were measured in particulate and soluble fractions from rabbit aorta (intima-media) and coronary microvessels. With rabbit aorta, the hydrolysis at the sn-1 position of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycerol had a pH optimum of 5-6 and was greater than hydrolysis at the sn-2 position (pH optimum of 6.5). Only the 2-monoacylglycerol accumulated during incubations at pH 5 and 6.5. These results are consistent with an ordered two-step reaction sequence where the fatty acid at the sn-1 position is released first, followed by the hydrolysis of the fatty acid from the 2-monoacylglycerol by a monoacylglycerol lipase with a neutral pH optimum. Lipase activity (sn-2 hydrolysis) at pH 6.5 was greater than kinase activity at all substrate concentrations. The presence of arachidonate at the sn-2 position of the diacylglycerol increased kinase activity but had little effect on lipase activity. Kinase activity was mainly particulate, whereas 50-60% of diacylglycerol lipase and 50% of monoacylglycerol lipase activity were soluble. Diacylglycerol lipase and kinase were also present in coronary microvessel preparations. Diacylglycerol lipase (sn-2 hydrolysis) activity in coronary microvessels was not enhanced by preincubation of the enzyme preparation with cAMP-dependent protein kinase.

The biochemical events initiated by mitogen in T lymphocytes are the subject of this paper. Following interaction of the mitogen with its receptors, a transmembrane 'trigger-type' signal is propagated which has both positive and negative correlates. The negative signal occurs with high mitogen concentrations and is associated with membrane freezing, microtubular aggregation, receptor capping, adenylate cyclase activation, and cellular cyclic AMP increases. The positive signal occurs with optimal mitogen concentrations and is associated with changes in membrane permeability and transport with influx of calcium and potassium ion and efflux of sodium, in transport processes for glucose, amino acids, and nucleosides, and in a collected series of early membrane lipid changes which can be considered essential for the positive signal. These lipid changes include the uptake of arachidonic acid and other fatty acids, choline, phosphate and other molecules, their incorporation into membrane phospholipids, particularly phosphatidylinositol (PI), and a turnover of PI with the production of inositol triphosphate, which can be related to calcium mobilization and diacylglycerol which activates a cytoplasmic protein kinase C. A key event associated with mitogen action is arachidonic acid release. Arachidonic acid may give rise to prostaglandins and thromboxanes as part of negative components of the signal through effects on the adenylate cyclase/cyclic AMP system. Arachidonic acid gives rise to eicosanoids like 5-, 11-, possibly 12- and 15-hydroxyperoxy and hydroxy eicosatetraenoic acids and leukotrienes B4 and C4. The activation of the 5-lipoxygenase, a critical calcium-dependent step, leads via the production of 5-HPETE and 5-HETE to the activation of membrane and soluble guanylate cyclase and the production of cyclic GMP. Cyclic GMP appears to be essential for mitogen activation and is associated with cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase activation and the phosphorylation of a number of substrates. Calcium ion influx is clearly central to mitogen action. Calcium through its influx and mobilization from cellular stores is thought to contribute directly and indirectly through the action of calmodulin and protein kinase C to the activation of a number of enzymatic processes involved in the positive signal including phospholipase C, diglyceride kinase and lipase, 5-lipoxygenase, and guanylate cyclase. Cyclic GMP and calcium ion both participate in nuclear processes leading to RNA and protein synthesis. Interleukin 2 is associated with midcycle increases in cyclic GMP and entry into DNA synthesis.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Three TG lipases have been identified in muscle (i.e., acid, neutral, and alkaline), but as yet we do not know which enzyme is responsible for tissue TG hydrolysis. Over the past 8 yr, work in our laboratory has focused on intracellular lipoprotein lipase (LPL). The results show that this lipase is regulated by the classical cAMP cascade and that the activity of this enzyme is inversely related to endogenous TG concentration. Using these results as a foundation we plan to examine molecular mechanisms involved in the synthesis, compartmentalization, and transport of the alkaline TG lipase. Further, the evidence suggests that this enzyme may be regulated by protein phosphorylation mediated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. We plan to test this possibility.

In the mammalian myocardium, an active triglyceride synthesis pathway is operating, (re)esterifying activated fatty acids from endogenous or exogenous sources, with the glycolytically derived three-carbon intermediates dihydroxyacetone-phosphate and glycerol-3-phosphate by the so-called Kennedy pathway. The seven enzymes of triglyceride synthesis are membrane bound and located at the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The first enzyme in the glycerol-3-phosphate pathway, glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase, is proposed to be rate limiting for triglyceride formation. This microsomal enzyme is regulated by phosphorylation (inactiycation)-dephosphorylation (activation) coupled to the beta-receptor--adenyl cyclase--protein kinase system. Additional regulatory steps in triglyceride formation are the reactions catalyzed by the microsomal phosphatidic acid phosphatase and diglyceride acyltransferase. Intracellular triglycerides occur as free floating cytosolic droplets, membrane-bound particles and lipid-filled lysosomes. No consensus exists about the metabolically active portion of myocardial triglycerides. Various lipases have been proposed to be involved in endogenous lipolysis: the lysosomal acid, microsomal and soluble neutral triglyceride, intracellular lipoprotein lipases and the microsomal di- and monoglyceridase. It has been acknowledged that the bulk of the intracellular neutral lipase represents the precursor of vascular lipoprotein lipase. The presence of a neutral lipase, as distinct from lipoprotein lipase, in the rat heart was recently advocated. Endogenous lipolysis is a hormone-sensitive process. Hormone-sensitivity may involve direct alteration of enzyme activity by protein phosphorylation-dephosphorylation but is also dependent on the removal rate of product fatty acids, since feedback inhibition is a common property of all lipases in the heart.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Hormone-sensitive lipase has been purified to near homogeneity from bovine perirenal adipose tissue. The purification method involves isoelectric precipitation at pH 5.0, followed by partial solubilisation in Triton N-101 and ion-exchange chromatography on DE-52. After additional solubilisation, the enzyme is further purified by chromatography on phenyl-Sepharose and heparin-Sepharose. This procedure can be completed within three working days and yields approx. 30 units of enzyme with a specific activity of 30 U/mg. The enzyme has been identified as a polypeptide of Mr 84 000 by affinity labelling with [3H]diisopropyl fluorophosphate. This polypeptide comprises approx. 60-80% of the protein in the final preparation, as judged by scanning densitometry of SDS-polyacrylamide gels stained with silver or with Coomassie blue R. The polypeptide of Mr 84 000 serves as a substrate for cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, phosphorylation correlating with activation of the lipase. Polyclonal antibody to the lipase has been raised in a rabbit and shown to specifically cross-react with the Mr 84 000 subunit.

Evidence is presented that all lipase activities present in the vascular and myocardial tissue from rat heart are regulated by product inhibition. Lipoprotein lipase activity, which plays a role in the uptake of circulating triglycerides, is determined by its reaction products, e.g. fatty acids and, predominantly, monoglycerides. Tissue acid and neutral lipase activities are regulated by product fatty acids and their coenzyme A (CoA) and carnitine ester derivatives. The order of potency is palmitoyl CoA approximately palmitoyl carnitine greater than palmitate for neutral lipase and palmitoyl carnitine greater than palmitoyl CoA palmitate for acid lipase activity. Product inhibition of extracellular and intracellular lipolytic processes warrants a close coupling between the supply of substrate fatty acids and the rate of fatty acid oxidation as determined by cardiac contractile activity. None of the lipases studied was directly affected by catabolic hormones (norepinephrine, glucagon) or their intracellular second messengers (cyclic AMP, protein kinase, Ca2+, calmodulin).

Brief incubation of partially purified preparations of hormone-sensitive lipase from rat epididymal fat pads with ATP, Mg(++), cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate and rabbit muscle protein kinase (phosphorylase b kinase kinase) resulted in enhancement of lipolytic activity (44-93%). Little or no activation was observed when either the cofactor mixture or the protein kinase was omitted. When the fat pads were incubated with epinephrine prior to homogenization, addition of kinase and cofactors to the soluble supernatant fraction caused no activation whereas good activation was obtained in preparations from paired fat pads not exposed to epinephrine. The results indicate that the cyclic AMP-mediated activation of hormone-sensitive lipase in adipose tissue involves a protein phosphorylation step. Whether the lipase itself is phosphorylated and thus activated or whether the protein kinase is activating a mediating enzyme, in analogy with its action in the glycogen phosphorylase system, remains to be determined.

A partially purified hormone-sensitive triglyceride lipase of human adipose tissue was found to be activated twofold by the addition of cyclic 3',5'-AMP, ATP, and magnesium ions. Lipase activities against diolein and monoolein were not affected. Addition of protein kinase inhibitor at zero time completely inhibited activation, and this inhibition was prevented by prior addition of an excess of exogenous protein kinase (from rabbit skeletal muscle). Addition of protein kinase inhibitor during the activation step blocked the activation process without a time lag, suggesting that protein kinase operates directly on hormone-sensitive lipase. Further purification yielded a fraction free of protein kinase, and lipase activation in this fraction depended absolutely on addition of exogenous kinase. Incubation of human fat with epinephrine or isoproterenol stimulated lipolysis and caused conversion of nonactivated hormone-sensitive lipase to its activated form, as indicated by a decrease in the activation subsequently obtainable in fractions prepared from such hormone-treated tissues. These findings strongly suggest that the stimulation of lipolysis by hormonal treatment is the consequence of the activation of hormone-sensitive triglyceride lipase by cyclic 3',5'-AMP-dependent protein kinase.

Hormone-sensitive lipase partially purified from adipose tissue of laying hens was markedly activated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. Activation was approximately 4-fold (ranging up to as great as 10-fold) compared with the much lower degree of activation obtained with analogous preparations from rat and human adipose tissues (59 and 86%, respectively). The partially purified preparations contained adequate endogenous protein kinase activity to effect complete activation with addition of cyclic AMP, ATP, and Mg(2+). Activation was blocked by protein kinase inhibitor (from rabbit skeletal muscle) but could be restored fully by addition of excess exogenous protein kinase (from bovine skeletal muscle). The fully activated lipase was slowly deactivated by dialysis at 4 degrees C and then rapidly and almost fully reactivated by addition of cyclic AMP and ATP-Mg(2+). Reactivation was blocked by protein kinase inhibitor. This deactivation-reactivation cycle was rapid at 23 degrees C with dialysis against charcoal and could be demonstrated repeatedly using a single preparation. The reversible deactivation of protein kinase-activated enzyme is presumed to reflect the action of a lipase phosphatase. Lipase prepared from tissue previously exposed to glucagon yielded a much smaller degree of activation than lipase prepared from tissue not exposed to the lipolytic hormone, indicating that the physiological hormone-induced activation is probably similar to or identical with the protein kinase activation demonstrated in the cell-free preparations. Under the conditions of assay used, the partially purified lipase fraction contained diglyceride, monoglyceride, and lipoprotein lipase activities. However, treatment with cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase had virtually no effect on these lipase activities.

3T3-L1 cells have been a useful model system for studying adipocyte differentiation and metabolism. They acquire a hormone-sensitive lipase during differentiation (Kawamura, M., et al. 1981. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 78: 732-735). In the present study the control of lipolysis in these cells was investigated. Basal glycerol release from cell monolayers was 437 nmol/mg protein per hr, and could be stimulated approximately 6-fold by exposure to 1 microM isoproterenol. Subcellular fractionation of stimulated cells revealed a redistribution of triglyceride lipase activity: loss from the infranatant fraction and increase in the pellet fraction. The redistribution was dosage-dependent and reversible. Treatment of intact cells with 8-bromoadenosine 3':5' cyclic monophosphate elicited similar redistribution of the lipase activity; however, disruption and incubation of untreated cells in the presence of ATP and either cyclic AMP or the catalytic subunit from cAMP-dependent protein kinase did not. The lipase activity in the pellet fraction was increased 3- to 4-fold after maximal lipolytic stimulation of intact cells, whereas phosphorylation of the enzyme in vitro yielded 1.4- to 1.6-fold stimulation in all subcellular fractions from untreated cells. The lipase found in the particulate fraction has the same properties as the previously characterized infranatant enzyme. It is suggested that interaction of the lipase with substrate and associated intracellular membranes may be a novel feature of the regulation of lipolysis.
