Abstract
The study was conducted to investigate the expression and activity of key lipolytic enzymes during the ontogenetic development of Clarias magur. After partial characterization, the messenger RNA (mRNA) expression analysis of lipoprotein lipase (LPL), pancreatic triacylglycerol lipase (PL), and bile salt-activated lipase (BAL) genes along with the specific lipase activity were performed in larvae from Day 1 after hatching till 34-day posthatch (dph). Heterogeneous patterns of mRNA expression were shown by the important lipolytic enzymes and were detected before first exogenous feeding during the yolk-sac stage. LPL started increasing from 13 dph and peaked at 16 dph followed by a declining trend till 34 dph. However, the PL observed to be peaking at 9, 22, and 30 dph. Similarly, BAL showed an increasing trend from 11 to 22 dph with a significantly high level of mRNA expression at 16 dph. Later, the specific lipase activity was evaluated which appears at Day 1 after hatching with a progressive increase from 7 to 16 dph and a further declining trend afterwards with a peak at 22 dph. The results indicated the development of exocrine pancreas at 16 dph. Furthermore, the transcript levels and the activity of lipases were regulated with the age. Hence, the present study can be helpful in devising different strategies containing optimum lipid levels at a suitable stage of development for improving the survival during larval rearing. Furthermore, the study could be a baseline for elucidating the optimized dietary lipid levels of this catfish during its larval rearing.

Abstract
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL), which consists of an N-terminal catalytic domain and a C-terminal binding domain, is a crucial enzyme in the metabolism of lipids. Binding in the presence of cofactors or receptors on the cell surface, LPL catalyses the hydrolysis of triglycerides in the lipoprotein. To investigate the correlation between the LPL gene and adipose traits, single nucleotide polymorphisms in the exons of LPL in two breeds, Tibet chicken and E-white recessive rock (EWRR) chicken were investigated. The two breeds have significantly different levels of obesity. They were screened with single-strand conformation polymorphism and its effect on adipose traits was analysed. The results showed that a missense mutation G–C in the seventh exon of LPL changed alanine 377 to proline at the C-terminal binding domain, which is involved in the binding activity of LPL. Association analysis showed that the intermuscular adipose tissue width of Tibet chicken with the CC genotype decreased significantly (P < 0.05), while abdominal adipose weight of EWRR chicken of the CC genotype increased markedly (P < 0.05) compared with the individuals of other genotypes. Although the mutation correlated with very low-density lipoprotein in Tibet chicken, it did not demonstrate significant association with the lipoprotein in EWRR chicken (P > 0.05). Neither the glucose or triglyceride levels of chickens with different genotypes differed significantly (P > 0.05). As very low-density lipoprotein content and fat mass were upregulated by LPL, we concluded that the A377P mutation may enhance the binding activity of the LPL C-terminal domain to very low-density lipoprotein receptors, which promoted triglyceride metabolism in very low-density lipoprotein.

Abstract
As a member of the G0/G1 switch genes, G0/G1 switch gene 2 (G0S2) is related to many regulatory processes in the human and mouse. For example, it interacts directly with adipose triglyceride lipase to active its triglyceride hydrolysis activities. In this study, G0S2 gene cDNA of the chicken (522 bp), zebra finch (420 bp), sparrow (417 bp), pigeon (417 bp), and Bengalese finch (416 bp) were cloned, and each of them was encoded as a protein of 99 amino acids. The expression of G0S2 mRNA was determined by real-time reverse-transcription PCR analysis in 20 tested tissues of 21- and 91-d-old chickens. The highest mRNA level was found in abdominal fat and subcutaneous fat in both stages. Considerable G0S2 mRNA was also observed in chicken heart and muscle tissues. Expression of the chicken G0S2 gene varied at different stages and sexes. The abundance of G0S2 mRNA on d 21 was far higher than that on d 91. The abundance in female chickens was higher than that in males at both stages. In the coding region, we found 4 SNP, among which only G197A led to a change in the amino acids (Arg66Gln); the rest were synonymous substitutions. Association analysis showed that both G102A and G255A were significantly associated with head width (P < 0.05) and were highly significantly associated with leg muscle color (P < 0.01). The G102A was significantly associated with shank diameter at 63 d (P < 0.05). The SNP G197A was significantly associated with shank diameter at 49 d; CP content of leg muscle; total weights of the heart, liver, gizzard, and glandular stomach; and small intestine length (P < 0.05). In conclusion, much higher G0S2 mRNA was detected in both male and female chickens at 21 d of age than at 91 d of age, and 3 SNP (G102A, G197, and G255A) were associated with chicken production traits.

Abstract
Independent of their nutritional condition, Pekin ducks always exhibit higher i.m. fat content than Muscovy ducks. To understand this difference between species, the expression level of genes involved in lipid metabolism was analyzed in the pectoralis major muscle of Pekin and Muscovy ducks ad libitum-fed or overfed. The lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene expression was not different between species and not influenced by overfeeding. The protein content for LPL was higher in Pekin ducks than in Muscovy ducks when birds were ad libitum-fed, whereas in overfed ducks, we found no difference between species. Adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein (A-FABP) gene expression and protein content were higher in Pekin ducks than in Muscovy ducks for each nutritional condition (suggesting a higher intracellular transport within i.m. adipocytes of fatty acids mainly provided by liver for this species). Overfeeding did not affect the expression of genes involved in oxidation [carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1A (CPT1A), cytochrome-c oxidase 4 (COX4), succinyl-coenzyme A:3-ketoacid coenzyme A transferase (SCOT)] but increased the expression of fatty acid synthase (FAS) involved in lipogenesis. For all nutritional conditions, Pekin duck exhibited higher expression levels of CPT1A, COX4, SCOT, and FAS than Muscovy ducks. Results for mRNA SCOT suggested that the muscles of Pekin ducks use ketone bodies as an energy source. In conclusion, i.m. lipogenesis could contribute to the i.m. fat, particularly in Pekin ducks.

Abstract
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a multifunctional enzyme produced by many tissues, including adipose tissue, cardiac and skeletal muscle, islets, and macrophages. LPL is the rate-limiting enzyme for the hydrolysis of the triglyceride (TG) core of circulating TG-rich lipoproteins, chylomicrons, and very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL). LPL-catalyzed reaction products, fatty acids, and monoacylglycerol are in part taken up by the tissues locally and processed differentially; e.g., they are stored as neutral lipids in adipose tissue, oxidized, or stored in skeletal and cardiac muscle or as cholesteryl ester and TG in macrophages. LPL is regulated at transcriptional, posttranscriptional, and posttranslational levels in a tissue-specific manner. Nutrient states and hormonal levels all have divergent effects on the regulation of LPL, and a variety of proteins that interact with LPL to regulate its tissue-specific activity have also been identified. To examine this divergent regulation further, transgenic and knockout murine models of tissue-specific LPL expression have been developed. Mice with overexpression of LPL in skeletal muscle accumulate TG in muscle, develop insulin resistance, are protected from excessive weight gain, and increase their metabolic rate in the cold. Mice with LPL deletion in skeletal muscle have reduced TG accumulation and increased insulin action on glucose transport in muscle. Ultimately, this leads to increased lipid partitioning to other tissues, insulin resistance, and obesity. Mice with LPL deletion in the heart develop hypertriglyceridemia and cardiac dysfunction. The fact that the heart depends increasingly on glucose implies that free fatty acids are not a sufficient fuel for optimal cardiac function. Overall, LPL is a fascinating enzyme that contributes in a pronounced way to normal lipoprotein metabolism, tissue-specific substrate delivery and utilization, and the many aspects of obesity and other metabolic disorders that relate to energy balance, insulin action, and body weight regulation.

Abstract
Porcine lipoprotein lipase (LPL) cDNA has been cloned and sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequence shows a high degree of identity to LPL from other species, and contains the Ser/His/Asp triade characteristic of serine proteases and esterases. A repetitive element is present in the 3'-untranslated region of the cDNA. A partial cDNA covering the coding region of LPL detects three restriction fragment length polymorphisms with HindIII. This represents the first marker assigned to porcine chromosome 14.

Abstract
Adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) is an important triglyceride-specific lipase that catalyzes the initial step in triglyceride hydrolysis. In this study, cloning, sequencing, and mRNA real-time analyses were employed to characterize the chicken ATGL gene. We obtained a total of 1,528-bp long chicken ATGL cDNA fragment including 51-bp 5'UTR, 1,452-bp open reading frame (ORF), and 25-bp 3'UTR. The predicted chicken ATGL had 483 amino acids and a molecular weight of 53.5 kDa, giving rise to identities of 66.5%, 67.3%, 68.2%, 64.8%, and 66.5% with that of human, mouse, rat, pig, and cattle, respectively. The chicken ATGL gene spanned over 30,197 bp and comprised of nine exons and eight introns, in which the intron 1 (21,146 bp) was far longer than others. It predominantly expressed in subcutaneous fat and abdominal fat and then in kidney and lung. Very low but detectable mRNA level was also observed in other 15 tissues. However, no mRNA was detected in spleen. A total of 15 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified in its complete cDNA sequences with an average of one SNP in every 102 bp and a summarized nucleotide diversity of 3.02 x 10(-3). Seven of the 15 SNPs were non-synonymous. All SNPs had allelic frequencies over 5% and could be considered as candidate markers for future marker-trait association analysis.

Abstract
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) was cloned and sequenced using a RT-PCR approach completed by 3' and 5'RACE assays. The nucleotide sequence covered 1669 bp with an open reading frame of 525 amino acids, including a putative signal peptide of 23 amino acids long. Sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis revealed a high degree of conservation among most fish and higher vertebrates, retaining the consensus sequence the polypeptide "lid", the catalytic triad and eight cysteine residues at the N-terminal region. A tissue-specific regulation of LPL was also found on the basis of changes in season and nutritional condition as a result of different dietary protein sources. First, the expression of LPL in mesenteric adipose tissue was several times higher than in liver and skeletal muscle. Secondly, the spring up-regulation of LPL expression in the mesenteric adipose tissue was coincident with a pronounced increase of whole body fat content. Thirdly, the highest expression of LPL in the skeletal muscle was found in summer, which may serve to cover the increased energy demands for muscle growth and protein accretion. Further, in fish fed plant-protein-based diets, hepatic LPL expression was up-regulated whereas an opposite trend was found in the mesenteric adipose tissue, which may contribute to drive dietary lipids towards liver fat storage. Finally, it is of interest that changes in circulating triglyceride (TG) levels support the key role of LPL in the clearance of TG-rich lipoproteins. This study is the first report in fish of a co-regulated expression of LPL in oxidative and fat storage tissues under different physiological conditions.

Abstract
Previously we found lipase activity with characteristics similar to lipoprotein lipase (LPL) in tissues from rainbow trout [Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1255 (1995) 205], whereas no equivalent to the related hepatic lipase could be found. An equivalent to apolipoprotein CII was also identified and characterized [Gene 254 (2000) 189]. We present here the full nucleotide sequence for LPL from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and have investigated some properties of the enzyme. In contrast to what has been found in mammals, LPL mRNA was expressed in livers of adult trout. This indicates that trout LPL carries out functions that hepatic lipase has evolved to take over in mammals. Trout LPL was unstable at 37 degrees C compared with bovine and human LPL. Two sequence differences that may relate to the instability are that trout LPL lacks the disulfide bridge in the C-terminal domain and lacks Pro(258). This residue is conserved in LPL from all mammals and has been shown to be critical for enzyme stability at 37 degrees C. On chromatography on heparin-Sepharose trout and chicken LPL eluted at higher salt concentration than bovine (or other mammalian) LPL. The C-terminal end of LPL has been implied in heparin binding and the higher heparin affinity of the trout and chicken enzymes may be because they have 17 and 15 extra amino acid residues at the C-terminal end, of which three residues are positively charged.

Abstract
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL)-catalyzed hydrolysis of plasma lipoproteins is a rate-limiting step in the transport of lipids into the peripheral tissues of broiler chickens. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether LPL mRNA expression in adipose tissue is affected by age or nutritional treatments, with a view to reducing fat accumulation in broiler chickens. The study found that chicken LPL mRNA expression in abdominal adipose tissue did not differ significantly between chickens aged 4, 6, and 8 wk, but there was less expression of LPL mRNA in 2-wk-old chickens. In nutritional modulation, LPL mRNA levels in abdominal adipose tissues were not modified by 48-h feed deprivation or by subsequent refeeding for 48 h. In addition, expression of LPL mRNA was not significantly altered in chickens fed for 7 d on diets containing 8% olive oil (triolein rich), safflower oil (trilinolein rich), or linseed oil (trilinolenin rich). On the other hand, adipose LPL mRNA expression in chickens force-fed for 12 h with a trilinolenin (18:3) emulsion after 48-h feed deprivation was significantly decreased when compared to that in chickens force-fed with a triolein (18:1) or trilinolein (18:2) emulsion. Changes to LPL immunoreactive protein levels in chicken abdominal adipose tissues brought about by aging and nutritional manipulations were similar to those observed in relation to mRNA expression. These findings suggest that LPL mRNA expression in growing chickens is less responsive to aging and nutritional manipulation than in mammals, thereby indicating specificity of physiological response on broiler chicken LPL.

Abstract
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a key enzyme of lipid deposition and metabolism. To investigate the mechanism of lipid deposition in fish, as a first step, we have characterized the LPL gene of a marine teleost red sea bream Pagrus major by cDNA and genomic structure analysis. The red sea bream LPL gene encodes 511 amino acids and spans approximately 6.3 kb of the genome. The coding region is organized into ten exons and nine introns. In comparison with the LPL of other animals, the deduced amino acid sequence shows a high degree of similarity with a conservation of functional domains, e.g. catalytic triad, N-glycosylation sites, lipid and heparin binding regions. The 1.1 kb of 5' flanking region contains two CCAAT, sequences homologous to Oct-I site and response elements for hormones including glucocorticoid, insulin and thyroid hormone. The results of the present study will facilitate further study of the function and regulation of the LPL in non-mammalian vertebrates.

Abstract
The effects of feeding condition and dietary lipid level on lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene expression in the liver and visceral adipose tissue of red sea bream Pagrus major were investigated by competitive polymerase chain reaction. Not only visceral adipose tissue but also liver of red sea bream showed substantial LPL gene expression. In the liver, starvation (at 48 h post-feeding) drastically stimulated LPL gene expression in the fish-fed low lipid diet, but had no effect in the fish fed high lipid diet. Dietary lipid level did not significantly affect the liver LPL mRNA level under fed condition (at 5 h post-feeding). In the visceral adipose tissue, LPL mRNA number per tissue weight was significantly higher in the fed condition than in the starved condition, irrespective of the dietary lipid levels. Dietary lipid levels did not affect the visceral adipose tissue LPL mRNA levels under fed or starved conditions. Our results demonstrate that both feeding conditions and dietary lipid levels alter the liver LPL mRNA levels, while only the feeding conditions but not dietary lipid levels cause changes in the visceral adipose LPL mRNA level. It was concluded that the liver and visceral adipose LPL gene expression of red sea bream seems to be regulated in a tissue-specific fashion by the nutritional state.

Abstract
The nutritional and physiological modifications that occur during the weaning period induce adaptations of tissue metabolism in all mammal species. Among the adaptations due to weaning in ruminants, the regulation of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity, one of the rate-limiting steps of fatty acid utilization by tissues, was still unknown. The present study aimed at comparing LPL activity and gene expression in the heart, seven skeletal muscles and three adipose tissue sites between two groups of seven preruminant (PR) or ruminant (R) calves having a similar age (170 d), similar empty body weight (194 kg) at slaughter, and similar net energy intake from birth onwards. Triacylglycerol content of adipose tissues was 16 % lower in R than in PR calves, This could be partly the result from a lower LPL activity (-57 %, ). LPL mRNA levels were also lower in R calves (-48 % to -68 %, ) suggesting a pretranslational regulation of LPL activity. Activity and mRNA levels of LPL did not differ significantly in the heart and skeletal muscles except in the masseter in which LPL activity and mRNA levels were higher (+50 % and +120 % respectively, ) in the R calves. Regulation of LPL in masseter could be explained by the high contractile activity of this muscle after weaning due to solid food chewing. In conclusion, weaning in the calf affects LPL activity and expression in adipose tissues, but not in skeletal muscles except the masseter.

Abstract
Relative quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (rqRT-PCR), which allows an accurate quantification of the amount of mRNA in samples potentially differing in the quality of their RNA preparation, was used to quantify lipoprotein lipase (LPL) mRNA in ovine adipose tissue. A comparative evaluation of four rqRT-PCR procedures was carried out. The amount of LPL mRNA was assayed relative to either that of gamma-actin (ACT) or cyclophilin (CYC) mRNA, used as endogenous standard. Independent (INACT and INCYC procedures) or simultaneous (COACT and COCYC procedures) amplifications have been compared. Fluorescently labelled primers yielded PCR products which were quantitatively analysed using an automated DNA sequencer. After optimizing the PCR cycle number and verifying that the amounts of ACT and CYC mRNA varied only weakly according to the nutritional conditions studied, we have tested the ability of the four procedures to quantify specific variations in LPL mRNA. The repeatability of each step and the overall assay reproducibility were also examined. The COACT and INCYC procedures were finally retained to accurately quantify LPL mRNA in AT from nine underfed or refed ewes, and gave highly correlated results (r=0.98, p<0.01). In addition, significant correlations (r=0.83, p<0.01 and r=0.92, p<0.01 for COACT and INCYC, respectively) were observed with the LPL activity in AT.

Abstract
Previous studies in rodents have shown that the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) regulation is complex and often opposite in adipose tissue (AT) and muscle in response to the same nutritional treatment. However, neither LPL responses nor the molecular mechanisms involved in the nutritional regulation have been studied in both AT and muscle of ruminant species. To explore this, we measured the LPL activity and mRNA levels in perirenal AT and cardiac muscle (CM) of control, 7-d-underfed or 14-d-refed ewes. Underfeeding decreased (P < 0.01) LPL activity both in AT (-59%) and CM (-31%), and these activities were restored (P < 0.01) by refeeding (AT, +248%; CM, +34%). Variations of LPL mRNA level measured by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction or by Northern blot followed variations of LPL activity: underfeeding decreased AT- and CM-LPL mRNA levels (-58 and -53%, respectively), and refeeding restored (P < 0.01) them in CM (+117%) and increased them over the baseline in AT (+640%). Quantification of either 3.4- or 3.8-kb LPL mRNA levels revealed a predominant (P < 0.001) expression of the 3.4-kb mRNA in AT (60%) and of the 3.8-kb mRNA in CM (56%), without any preferential regulation of one of these mRNA species by the nutritional status. This work reveals a tissue-specific expression pattern of the ovine LPL gene and a pretranslational nutritional regulation of its expression, which is achieved in the same direction in perirenal AT and CM. The different regulation of CM-LPL between ewes and rats probably arises from peculiarities of ruminant species for nutrient digestion and absorption and liver lipogenesis.

Abstract
We have sequenced the first fish (zebrafish, Brachydanio rerio) lipoprotein lipase (LPL) cDNA clone. Similarities were found in mammalian LPL cDNA, but the codon spanning the last two exons (which is thus split by the last intron) is AGA (Arg) as opposed to TGA in mammals. Exon 10 is thus partially translated. These results were confirmed with rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). We also investigated whether mammal TGA coded for selenocystein (SeCys), the 21st amino acid, but found that this was not the case: TGA does not encode SeCys but is a stop codon. It thus appears that the sense codon AGA (fish) has been transformed into a stop codon TGA (human) during the course of evolution. It remains to be determined if the "loss" of the C-terminal end of mammalian LPL protein has conferred an advantage in terms of LPL activity or, on the contrary, a disadvantage (e.g., susceptibility to diabetes or atherosclerosis).

Abstract
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL; E.C. 3.1.1.34) is a key enzyme in the metabolism of lipids. Many diseases, including obesity, coronary heart disease, chylomicronemia (pancreatitis), and atherosclerosis, appear to be directly or indirectly related to abnormalities in LPL function. Human LPL is a member of a superfamily of lipases that includes hepatic lipase and pancreatic lipase. These lipases are characterized by extensive homology, both at the level of the gene and the mature protein, suggesting that they have a common evolutionary origin. A large number of natural mutations have been discovered in the human LPL gene, which are located at different sites in the gene and affect different functions of the mature protein. There is a high prevalence of two of these mutations (207 and 188) in the Province of Québec, and one of them (207) is almost exclusive to the French-Canadian population. A study of these and other naturally occurring mutant LPL molecules, as well as those created in vitro by site-directed mutagenesis, indicate that the sequence of LPL is organized into multiple structural and functional units that act in concert in the normal enzyme. In this review, we discuss the interrelationships of LPL structure and its function, the molecular etiology of abnormal LPL in humans, and the clinical and therapeutic aspects of LPL deficiency.

Abstract
By aligning nucleotide and amino acid sequences of lipoprotein lipase in eight species (man, pig, cow, sheep, mouse, rat, guinea-pig and chicken), we found that the main domains (catalytic, N-glycosylation and putative heparin binding sites) are well conserved. The longest identical amino acid chain was encoded by a sequence between the end of exon 2 and the beginning of exon 3, emphasizing the importance of this region which encodes the beta 5-loop of the active site, among other domains. Exon 10 is entirely untranslated in the seven mammals studied here and contains species-characteristic deletions, insertions or elements rich in A or A + T. In chicken, the beginning of exon 10 is translated. These eight previously unreported alignments could be a useful tool for further studies on LPL function.

Abstract
Lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase are members of a gene family which also contains pancreatic lipase. High activity of lipoprotein lipase is present in extrahepatic tissues in all mammals studied and also in birds. The activity of hepatic lipase varies more. To investigate the evolutionary relationship, lipase activities in tissues of some lower vertebrates were measured. In fish and in frog, low activities with the characteristics of lipoprotein lipase were found. Serum from frog and from fish, and plasma from chicken, stimulated lipoprotein lipase in vitro, indicating that these species contain analogues to human apolipoprotein C-II. Little or no hepatic lipase-like activity was found in post-heparin plasma or in liver homogenates of chickens. In fish liver, lipase activity with an apparent heparin affinity similar to, or even higher than lipoprotein lipase was found. Frog liver contained a small amount of lipase activity with high heparin affinity. This activity was inhibited both by apolipoprotein C-II and by 1 M NaCl. It is not clear whether the low lipase activities in livers from fish and from frog are variants of hepatic lipase. Since lipoprotein lipase and apolipoprotein C-II are already present in fish, this lipase probably evolved before hepatic lipase.

Abstract
Lipoprotein lipases (LPL) isolated from rat cardiac muscle and bovine milk were each used as immunogens to produce polyclonal anti-LPL sera and two anti-LPL monoclonal antibodies. The immunological reactivities of these antibody sources with LPL purified from rat cardiac muscle, lung, adipose tissue, mammary gland and skeletal muscle were compared by an e.l.i.s.a. and by Western blotting. Differences between the immunoreactivities of LPL from the distinct tissue sources were revealed in both systems. A synthetic peptide with a sequence corresponding to the heparin-binding site of LPL (Ser-Arg-Thr-Asn-Thr-Lys-Val-Ser-Arg-Ile-Thr-Gly-Leu) was produced and used as an immunogen. The antiserum produced against the synthetic peptide was found to bind specifically to the region of the heparin-binding site, as determined by use of a competition e.l.i.s.a. In use against the five tissue LPL preparations, this antiserum revealed only minor variations between the tissue sources, compared with the hierarchy of reactivity observed when antibodies raised against the whole molecule were used. In combination with the outcome of previous studies on some of the physical properties of these preparations [Soteriou and Cryer (1993) Int. J. Biochem. 25, 1483-1490], the observations reported here on the distinct immunoreactivities exhibited by LPL prepared from the different tissue sources of a single species indicate the necessity to characterize fully the nature of these differences.

Abstract
The organization of cis-acting regulatory elements of the chicken lipoprotein lipase gene was investigated in 5.4 kb of 5' flanking sequences. Various lengths of 5' flanking sequence were linked to the bacterial chloramphenicol acyltransferase (CAT) gene and transfected into primary cultures of chicken adipocytes by DEAE-dextran transfection method. Negative elements are present between -1947 and -139 of the 5' flanking sequence. Removal of these sequences revealed the presence of positive elements located within 138 bp upstream of the major transcription start site. Sequence analysis showed that the region from the major transcription start site to -138 contains an inverted GC box (ACCACGCCCC), a CCAAT element and two direct repeats of the octamer motif, ATTTGCAT. DNase I footprinting assays using a probe extending from -175 to +191, identified three sites protected by nuclear factors. Site I (-126 to -123), a C-rich sequence, GCCC, was identified only on the coding strand. Site II covered the sequence from -95 to -68 and includes the GC box. Site III, from -53 to -26, contained two octamer repeats. Site I is the 5' portion of a 10 bp sequence (CCCTCCCCCC; -126/-116) which is perfectly conserved in the avian and the human promoter. Single or multiple copies of a 37 bp DNA fragment (-138/-102) containing the 10 bp conserved sequence were cloned into LPLCAT-51, upstream or downstream of the major transcription start site and in both orientations; transfection and CAT activity assays with these constructs indicate that the -138/-102 fragment has an enhancer like activity. Additional 5' and internal deletions of LPLCAT-138 suggest that the factors binding to the C-rich element, the GC box and the two octamer repeats have a synergistic effect on promoter activity.

Abstract
Lipoprotein lipase synthesis in adipose tissue was greater in rats fed ad libitum or refed than in fasted rats. Insulin alone and together with dexamethasone increased lipoprotein lipase synthesis in adipose tissue incubated in vitro. The changes in relative lipoprotein lipase synthesis (immunoprecipitable 35S-labelled lipoprotein lipase as a fraction of general [35S]protein after pulse-labelling with [35S]methionine) indicate that insulin and dexamethasone exert a selective effect on lipoprotein lipase synthesis. There was no evidence for an inverse relationship between lipoprotein lipase synthesis and activity for any of the conditions studied.

Abstract
A cDNA clone encoding lipoprotein lipase has been isolated from an ovine adipocyte library. Sequencing of this clone has revealed a single open reading frame encoding a 450 amino acid protein. Comparison with known LPL sequences from other species shows a high degree of conservation in the sequence of the protein and in the 5' untranslated region of the DNA sequence.

Abstract
A lipase gene (lip1) from the facultative psychrophilic strain Psychrobacter immobilis B10 has been cloned and sequenced. The deduced preprotein sequence is composed of 317 amino acids with a predicted M(r) of 35,288. A primary structure alignment of lipases including lip1 shows conserved elements for which a structural role is proposed in the light of recent crystallographic studies. The analysis of the psychrophilic enzyme sequence suggests characteristics in relation with the adaptation to cold.

Abstract
A rat lipoprotein lipase (LPL)-encoding cDNA (LPL) has been entirely sequenced and compared to the sequences of all the LPL cDNAs reported in other species. As expected, high homology was found between the coding exons. The putative catalytic triad, Ser132, Asp156, His241, according to human numbering, is conserved in rat. As is the case in mouse, an Asn444 present in human LPL is also missing. The major divergences between human, mouse and rat LPLs were observed in the untranslated exon 10, where (i) the rat cDNA exhibits a 157-bp insertion and an 81-bp deletion relative to human; (ii) neither the B1 repeat nor the homopurine stretch reported in mouse can be recognized, and (iii) the rat cDNA displays several A+T-rich stretches.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is associated with a reduction of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity and development of hypertriglyceridemia. In the current experiments the mechanisms involved in the regulation of LPL have been examined in control rats, streptozocin-induced diabetic rats, and diabetic rats treated chronically or with a single injection of insulin. Diabetes decreased adipose tissue LPL activity partially by decreasing immunoreactive LPL protein and the steady-state levels of LPL mRNA, but primarily by reducing the catalytic activity of LPL. Both chronic and acute insulin increased adipose tissue LPL activity by correcting the defect in the catalytic activity of LPL and increasing immunoreactive LPL protein; however, only chronic insulin restored LPL mRNA levels to normal. In the heart, LPL activity tended to be elevated with diabetes in parallel to an increase in immunoreactive LPL protein even though levels of LPL mRNA declined. Both chronic and acute insulin normalized LPL activity and immunoreactive LPL protein, while only chronic insulin corrected the levels of LPL mRNA. No changes in the catalytic activity of LPL in heart were detected among the groups. Thus, diabetes and insulin treatment regulate LPL expression pretranslationally, translationally, and post-translationally, with tissue-specific differences apparent in the mechanisms involved.

Abstract
We have examined the expression of growth factor genes in primary cultures of chicken adipocyte precursors. RNA was extracted from proliferating and differentiated cells, reversed transcribed and amplified by PCR using gene specific primers. The identity of the PCR products was confirmed by restriction mapping. We show, for the first time, constitutive expression of TGF-beta 2, TGF-beta 3, TGF-beta 4 and bFGF genes in chicken adipocyte precursors. We also detect GH-independent, but differentiation-dependent IGF-I gene expression. The synthesis and action of these growth factors supports the hypothesis that they act as autocrine and/or paracrine regulators of adipocyte precursor cell proliferation and differentiation.

Abstract
A monoclonal antibody, 5D2, which inhibits human lipoprotein lipase (hLPL) activity has been widely used for assessment of LPL immunoreactive mass in the clinical evaluation of patients [1] and for analysis of structure-function relationships of LPL [2,3]. We have mapped the epitope on LPL, recognized by the 5D2 antibody, within residues 396-405. Ala400 is the critical amino acid residue conferring epitope specificity. This knowledge confirms that the C-terminal domain of LPL plays a critical role in LPL activity and also provides important information for studies exploring the structure-function relationship of LPL using this antibody.

Abstract
The regulation of lipoprotein lipase gene expression in brown adipose tissue was studied. Rats were preacclimated to 21 degrees C. Exposure to cold (4 degrees C) resulted in a rapid increase in the level of lipoprotein lipase mRNA in the tissue. The level peaked (expressed per microgram total RNA) after approximately 8 h and then slowly declined. The increased lipoprotein lipase mRNA level was not due to an increased stability of the mRNA, but, in a transition event from a high to a low expression of the lipoprotein lipase gene, a transcription-dependent process was recruited that accelerated the breakdown of lipoprotein lipase mRNA. Norepinephrine injections increased lipoprotein lipase mRNA levels in the tissue; this effect was mediated via a beta-adrenergic receptor. The effect of cold could be mimicked by norepinephrine injections, and these two effects were not additive, indicating that the cold effect was mediated by norepinephrine. The lipoprotein lipase mRNA level was also increased by insulin injections (into fasted animals); thus an increase in lipoprotein lipase gene expression in brown adipose tissue may be induced via two different stimuli, which, intracellularly, would be mediated via different signaling systems. In all investigated conditions, the changes in lipoprotein lipase mRNA levels observed here were parallelled by alterations in lipoprotein lipase activity reported earlier from this laboratory. It was therefore concluded that, under the conditions studied, lipoprotein lipase activity in brown adipose tissue was primarily regulated at the transcriptional level.

Abstract
The entire gene for chicken lipoprotein lipase (LPL) has been isolated and characterized by primer extension and sequence analysis. The gene is 17 kilobase pairs long and comprises 10 exons and 9 introns. As determined by primer extension analysis the start sites of transcription map 176, 204 and 218 nucleotides upstream of the initiator methionine codon. The 1947 base pairs of 5' flanking sequence contains several putative regulatory elements including two adjacent Oct I binding elements, four glucocorticoid regulatory elements and a sequence very homologous to the previously described fat specific element at--1402 nt. The first intron is very large (6433 bp) and contains four consensus SpI binding-site sequences. Five polyadenylation signals are found in the 3' untranslated region, the last three of which give predicted mRNA species identical in size to those determined by Northern blot. The 5' flanking sequences of the LPL, pancreatic lipase and hepatic lipase genes do not show homology, however. This may account for the homologous amino acid sequences but dissimilar gene expression of these enzymes.

Abstract
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a glycoprotein enzyme that is produced in several cells and tissues. LPL belongs to a large lipase gene family that includes, among others, hepatic lipase and pancreatic lipase. After secretion, LPL becomes anchored on the luminal surface of the capillary endothelial cells. There it hydrolyzes triglycerides in triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, generating free fatty acids that can serve either as a direct energy source or can be stored. Through this action LPL plays a pivotal role both in energy and in lipoprotein metabolism. LPL production is regulated in a tissue-specific fashion by developmental, hormonal, and nutritional factors. The recent availability of the regulatory sequences of the LPL gene will greatly facilitate these regulatory studies in the future. In man, several mutations resulting in familial LPL deficiency have been delineated at a molecular level. The study of these mutations is not only very beneficial from a clinical point of view but also contributes in a major way to our understanding of the structure-function relationship of LPL and other lipases. In this review major attention is given to molecular studies relating to the regulation of LPL production, to the defects underlying LPL deficiency, and to structure-function relationship of the lipases.
