Hormone-sensitive lipase and cholesterol ester hydrolase of chicken adipose tissue were markedly activated by adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase (on the average, 235 to 275%; occasionally as much as 1000%). Diglyceride and monoglyceride hydrolases were also activated, but to a lesser extent (60 to 87%). The activation of all four hydrolases was inhibited by protein kinase inhibitor and reversed by the addition of exogenous protein kinase. Following activation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, all four hydrolases were deactivated in a Mg2+-dependent reaction and then reactivated to or near initial levels on incubation with cAMP and Mg2+-ATP. The reversible deactivation is assumed to reflect activity of one or more protein phosphatases. The maximum activation obtainable for the four hydrolases decreased when the tissue had been previously exposed to glucagon, indicating that the glucagon-induced activation was probably similar to or identical with the activation demonstrated in cell-free preparations. The pH optima for the four hydrolase activities were similar (7.13 to 7.38). Although the absolute activities and relative degrees of kinase activation differed according to the particular emulsified substrates used, the results do not rule out the possibility that all four hydrolase activities are referable to a single hormone-sensitive hydrolase. Hormone-sensitive acyl hydrolases were separated from lipoprotein lipase by heparin-Sepharose affinity chromatography. Lipoprotein lipase was active against triolein, diolein, and monoolein, but not cholesterol oleate. Incubation of lipoprotein lipase with exogenous protein kinase, cAMP, and Mg2+ATP had no effect on any of the three hydrolase activities. Lipoprotein lipase was further purified to homogeneity and used to prepare antiserum in rabbits. The immunoglobin G fraction from these antisera completely inhibited lipoprotein lipase eluted from heparin-Sepharose columns. However, the hormone-sensitive hydrolase activities (not retained on heparin-Sepharose affinity chromatography) were not inhibited by anti-lipoprotein lipase immunoglobin G, and anti-lopoprotein lipase immunoglobin G did not affect the activation process in crude fractions. Thus, hormone-sensitive lipase and lipoprotein lipase, functionally distinct enzymes, have been physically resolved and immunochemically distinguished. Apparently lipoprotein lipase activity is not regulated, at least directly, by cAMP-dependent protein kinase.

A triglyceride lipase was extracted from defatted pig adipose tissue powder with dilute ammonia and purified about 230-fold by a combination of ammonium sulfate fractionation, heparin-Sepharose 4B, DEAE-cellulose, and Sephadex G-150 column chromatographies and isoelectrofocusing electrophoresis. The enzyme was distinguishable in physical and kinetic properties from the two previously defined lipases in adipose tissue, lipoprotein lipase, and hormone-sensitive lipase. The purified enzyme was fully active in the absence of serum lipoprotein and was not stimulated by adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase. In marked contrast to the already defined lipases, the enzyme was strongly inhibited by serum albumin. The enzyme had a molecular weigt of about 43,000, a pI of 5.2, and pH optimum of 7.0. The enzyme hydrolyzed triolein to oleic acid and glycerol, and did not exhibit esterase activity. The apparent Km for triolein was 0.05 mM. Physiological roles of this new species of lipase remained to be explored.

A new assay procedure for triglyceride lipase [EC 3.1.1.3] was developed in which radioactive triolein was dissolved in ethanol and directly added to the reaction mixture in the absence of serum and albumin. In the rat adipose tissue there appeared to be a triglyceride lipase measurable with this assay in addition to the two previously defined lipases, lipoprotein lipase [EC 3.1.1.34] and hormone-sensitive lipase. The enzyme was active in the absence of serum and was strongly inhibited by albumin. The molecular weight was estimated to be about 42,000. Adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase [EC 2.7.1.27] was unable to activate the enzyme. The three species of lipases mentioned above behaved differently upon chromatography on a Sepharose 4B column, and were distinguishable from each other in their physical and kinetic properties. The physiological roles of the new species of lipase remain to be explored.

Some physiologic aspects of the mobilization and fate of free fatty acids are reviewed. The molecular mechanism of the activation of hormone-sensitive lipase in adipose tissue is then discussed. Recent evidence established that hormone-sensitive lipase, concerned with fat mobilization, is both functionally and immunochemically distinct from lipoprotein lipase, concerned with uptake of plasma triglycerides. Lipoprotein lipase activity is not altered by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. The latter enzyme enhances not only triglyceride hydrolase but also monoglyceride, diglyceride and cholesterol ester hydrolase activities in chicken adipose tissue. Finally, it is shown that the activation of all four acyl hydrolases is reversible, the deactivation being magnesium-dependent. Protein phosphatase fractions from heart and liver active against phosphorylase a can reversibly deactivate adipose tissue hormone-sensitive lipase, implying a low degree of substrate specificity for lipase phosphatase.

Starvation did not cause increase of hormone-sensitive lipase in rat epididymal adipose tissue. Adrenaline did not activate lipase in the fat cells, although it accelerated the release of free fatty acids from the cells. The results suggest that the mechanism of the stimulation of lipolysis by adrenaline is different from that in the cyclic AMP theory. Adrenaline-sensitive fat globules were prepared by hypotonic treatment of fat cells. Lipolysis in the fat globules was stimulated by adrenaline. It was shown that adrenaline-induced lipolysis in the fat globules was not due to activation of lipase but to initiation of a reaction between lipase and triglyceride. It is well known that calcium ions are essential for ACTH-induced lipolysis and that the hormone stimulates calcium uptake into adipose tissue. It was demonstrated that calcium ions accelerated formation of a complex between fat and lipase. The mechanism of the actions of adrenaline and ACTH are discussed on the basis of these results.

The reversible deactivation of chicken adipose tissue hormone-sensitive lipase alpha(previously activated with Mg2+ ATP and adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate) required Mg2+ and was inhibited by phosphate. These results are consistent with the assumption that deactivation of the protein kinase-activated enzyme is catalyzed by a lipase phosphatase. Cholesterol ester is catalyzed by a lipase phosphatase. Cholesterol ester hydrolase similarly was activated and reversibly deactivated. The activity of endogenous lipase phosphatase in pH 5.2 precipitate fractions was reduced, and in some cases eliminated, by incubation at 50 degrees for 20 min in buffer containing 20% glycerol. Heating at 50 degrees greatly increased the apparent percentage activation of triglyceride and cholesterol ester hydrolases but this was due to a selective decrease in basal (nonactivated) hydrolase activities. Essentially all endogenous lipase phosphatase could be removed by treatment of the pH 5.2 precipitate fraction with ATP-Sepharose affinity gel. The addition of a partially purified preparation of rat liver phosphorylase phosphatase deactivated triglyceride and cholesterol ester hydrolases. The deactivation process was concentration, 5 mM) and was inhibited by 5 mM phosphate and by phosphorylase alpha. Reversible deactivation of hormone-sensitive lipase alpha was also observed with crude prepa- and by phosphorylase alpha. Reversible deactivation of hormone-sensitive lipas alpha was also observed with crude preparations of phosphoprotein phosphatases from rat and turkey hearts, and from rat epididymal fat pads. Thus, hormone-sensitive lipase is deactivated by a variety of phosphoprotein phosphatases from different tissues and different species, implying a low degree of specificity for the deactivating system.

Cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase, purified to homogeneity from bovine lung, was shown to activate hormone-sensitive lipase partially purified from chicken adipose tissue. The degree of activation was the same as that effected by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase although higher concentrations of the cyclic GMP-dependent enzyme were required (relative activities expressed in terms of histone H2b phosphorylation units). Activation by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase was completely blocked by the heat-stable protein kinase inhibitor protein from skeletal muscle but activation by the cyclic GMP enzyme was not inhibited. Lipase fully activated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase showed no further change in activity when treated with cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase. Lipase activated by cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase was reversibly deactivated by purified phosphorylase phosphatase (from bovine heart); full activity was restored by reincubation with cyclic GMP and cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase. Cholesterol esterase activity in the chicken adipose tissue fraction, previously shown to be activated along with the triglyceride lipase by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, was also activated by cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase. Crude preparations of hormone-sensitive triglyceride lipase from human or rat adipose tissue and cholesterol esterase from rat adrenal were also activated by cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase. Purified phosphorylase kinase (rabbit skeletal muscle) was also shown to be activated by cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase. The present results, together with those of other workers on histone phosphorylation, suggest that the substrate specificities of cyclic GMP-dependent and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase may be similar. This is discussed in the light of a model recently proposed with regard to the relationship between the subunit structures of the two kinases. The physiologic significance of the findings remains to be established.

A lipoprotein lipase in the bovine arterial wall has been identified and partially characterized. The enzyme has a Km apparent of 1 mM for triolein in a phosphatidylcholine stabilized emulsion. The lipase was stimulated 20- to 30-fold by the addition of heated rat plasma to the assay medium. The activity exhibited a pH optimum at 8.6. Protamine sulfate (1.0 mg/ml) inhibited the activity by 50%, whereas 1.4 M sodium chloride inhibited by 85%. Sodium fluoride, an inhibitor of the hormone-sensitive lipase, had no effect on the activity. Additions of low concentrations of heparin or Ca-2+ to the enzyme caused a slight stimulation of the lipolytic activity. A crude sectioning of the aorta revealed specific activity of lipoprotein lipase to be highest at the endothelial side of the artery.

Whole homogenates prepared from tissue previously exposed to epinephrine displayed a 3-fold increased rate of lipolysis of endogenous substrate. When the aqueous infranatant phase of such homogenates was collected by centrifugation and assayed against exogenous triolein emulsions, no hormone effect could be demonstrated. Treatment of such infranatants with cAMP-dependent protein kinase prepared from muscle increased their lipase activity against exogenous triolein by 80%. Employing [3H]triolein emulsions as exogenous substrate, rates of lipolysis of both endogenous and exogenous glycerides were measured simultaneously in whole tissue homogenates. Prior treatment of the tissue with epinephrine increased the rate of lipolysis of endogenous glycerides an average of 3-fold but had no effect on the hydrolysis of exogenous triolein. By contrast, treatment of whole homogenates with protein kinase accelerated lipolysis of exogenous triolein without altering the rate of hydrolysis of endogenous glycerides. The data suggest that a second pathway of lipolysis activation occurs in response to epinephrine in addition to that involving a cAMP-mediated increase in the state of phosphorylation of the hormone-sensitive lipase.

Lipase activity in homogenates of guinea-pig adrenals was studied under conditions which exclude the hormone-sensitive lipase/cholesterol ester hydrolase. Antibody inhibition and chromatography on heparin-Sepharose showed that most of the activity was due to lipoprotein lipase (LPL), and that there was only a small amount of hepatic lipase activity. Northern blot analysis of total RNA demonstrated the same three adrenal LPL mRNA species (1.8, 3.1 and 3.5 kb) as were found in adipose tissue and heart. Hence, at least part of the LPL activity in adrenals is due to enzyme synthesized within the tissue. Immunolocalization showed that LPL was associated with the endothelium of blood vessels throughout the gland. In addition, there was cytoplasmic immunoreaction, suggesting that lipase was synthesized in a subpopulation of cells in the transitional zone between the fasciculata and reticularis layer of the cortex, particularly over lipid-filled cells. There was also intense immunofluorescence over scattered cells in the adrenal medulla. Treatment with an ACTH analogue depot (20 IU, i.m.) for 11 days induced a 12-fold increase in serum cortisol and increased adrenal weight 2.2-fold. The treatment induced increases in LPL mRNA (about twofold), LPL activity and in the number of cells in the adrenal cortex which gave an immunoreaction for LPL.
