The effect of phospholipid composition in cholesteryl ester (CE)-micellar substrates on neutral cholesterol esterase (N-CEase) activity was examined. N-CEase preparation was incubated with micelles composed of cholesteryl-[1-14C]-oleate, sodium taurocholate, and phosphatidylcholine (PC)/phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) at varying ratios (%PE:0 = PC only, 17, 33, 50, 66, 83). The activity increased dependently with the increase in PE content; the activity with the micelles containing the highest ratio of PE was 2.5-fold compared with the micelles consisting of PC only. Vmax with the micelles of 83, 66, and 50% PE was 3.1-, 2.7-, and 1.9-fold, respectively, compared with the micelles of PC only. Each micellar preparation was chromatographed through a Superose 6 column by the FPLC system. In 66 and 83% PE-containing micelles, PC, PE, CE, and part of sodium taurocholate eluted completely together in a single peak, whereas in micelles with 33 and 50% PE they eluted loosely together. The micelles with PC only or 17% PE formed PC-micelles without including CE and PE. It is concluded that PE plays a critical role in the formation of CE micelles with PC, and in the interaction with N-CEase. The CE-micelles with 66-83% PE serve as substrates for sensitive and reproducible N-CEase assay.
