Inhibition of lipoprotein lipase by benzene boronic acid. Effect of apolipoprotein C-II. 1982

P Vainio, and J A Virtanen, and P K Kinnunen

The catalytic mechanism of triacylglycerol hydrolysis by lipoprotein lipase was studied. We found lipoprotein lipase to be inhibited by benzene boronic acid, with an apparent Ki of 8.9 micro M at pH 7.4. This indicates the presence of serine and histidine in the active site of the enzyme. Inhibition of lipoprotein lipase by benzene boronic acid is likely to be due to the formation of an inhibitor-enzyme complex having analogous bonding to the active site histidine and serine as the transition-state complex which precedes the formation of an obligatory acyl-enzyme intermediate. The presence of apolipoprotein C-II, the apolipoprotein activator of lipoprotein lipase, partly reverses the inhibition of lipoprotein lipase by benzene boronic acid. This reversal by apolipoprotein C-II has a distinct pH optimum in the range of 8-9.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007700	Kinetics	The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008071	Lipoprotein Lipase	An enzyme of the hydrolase class that catalyzes the reaction of triacylglycerol and water to yield diacylglycerol and a fatty acid anion. The enzyme hydrolyzes triacylglycerols in chylomicrons, very-low-density lipoproteins, low-density lipoproteins, and diacylglycerols. It occurs on capillary endothelial surfaces, especially in mammary, muscle, and adipose tissue. Genetic deficiency of the enzyme causes familial hyperlipoproteinemia Type I.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001053	Apolipoproteins	Protein components on the surface of LIPOPROTEINS. They form a layer surrounding the hydrophobic lipid core. There are several classes of apolipoproteins with each playing a different role in lipid transport and LIPID METABOLISM. These proteins are synthesized mainly in the LIVER and the INTESTINES.	Apolipoprotein
D001056	Apolipoproteins C	A group of apolipoproteins that can readily exchange among the various classes of lipoproteins (HDL; VLDL; CHYLOMICRONS). After lipolysis of TRIGLYCERIDES on VLDL and chylomicrons, Apo-C proteins are normally transferred to HDL. The subtypes can modulate remnant binding to receptors, LECITHIN CHOLESTEROL ACYLTRANSFERASE, or LIPOPROTEIN LIPASE.	Apo-C,Apo C,ApoC,Apoprotein (C),Apoproteins C
