Abstract
The gene encoding the TPL N-terminal domain (N-TPL), fused with a His6-tag, was cloned and expressed in Pichia pastoris, under the control of the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAP) constitutive promoter. The recombinant protein was successfully expressed and secreted with an expression level of 5 mg/l of culture medium after 2 days of culture. The N-TPL was purified through a one-step Ni-NTA affinity column with a purification factor of approximately 23-fold. The purified N-TPL, with a molecular mass of 35 kDa, had a specific activity of 70 U/mg on tributyrin. Surprisingly, this domain was able to hydrolyse long chain TG with a specific activity of 11 U/mg using olive oil as substrate. This result was confirmed by TLC analysis showing that the N-TPL was able to hydrolyse insoluble substrates as olive oil. N-TPL was unstable at temperatures over 37°C and lost 70% of its activity at acid pH, after 5 min of incubation. The N-TPL exhibited non linear kinetics, indicating its rapid denaturation at the tributyrin–water interface. Colipase increased the N-TPL stability at the lipid-water interface, so the TPL N-terminal domain probably formed functional interactions with colipase despite the absence of the C-terminal domain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dietary fats must be digested into fatty acids and monoacylglycerols prior to absorption. In adults, colipase-dependent pancreatic triglyceride lipase (PTL) contributes significantly to fat digestion. In newborn rodents and humans, the pancreas expresses low levels of PTL. In rodents, a homologue of PTL, pancreatic lipase-related protein 2 (PLRP2), and carboxyl ester lipase (CEL) compensate for the lack of PTL. In human newborns, the role of PLRP2 in dietary fat digestion is unclear. To clarify the potential of human PLRP2 to influence dietary fat digestion in newborns, we determined PLRP2 activity against human milk and infant formula. METHODS The activity of purified recombinant PLRP2, gastric lipase (GL), and CEL against fats in human milk and formula was measured with each lipase alone and in combination with a standard pH-stat assay. RESULTS Colipase added to human milk stimulated fat digestion. PLRP2 and CEL had activity against human milk and formula. Predigestion with GL increased PLRP2 activity against both substrates. Together, CEL and PLRP2 activity was additive with formula and synergistic with human milk. CONCLUSION PLRP2 can digest fats in human milk and formula. PLRP2 acts in concert with CEL and GL to digest fats in human milk in vitro.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Isolated thylakoid membranes, i.e. the photosynthetic membranes of green leaves, inhibit the activity of pancreatic lipase and colipase during hydrolysis of fat in vitro. This inhibition has been demonstrated to cause reduced food intake and improved hormonal and lipid profile in vivo. One of the reasons suggested for the inhibiting effect is binding of lipase-colipase to the thylakoid membrane surface. This prompted a study of the binding of lipase and colipase to thylakoids. RESULTS The results showed that lipase and colipase strongly bind to the thylakoid membrane surface. The dissociation constant was determined at 1.2 × 10⁻⁸ mol L⁻¹; binding decreased after treatment of thylakoids with pepsin/trypsin to 1.0 × 10⁻⁷ and to 0.6 × 10⁻⁷ mol L⁻¹ after treatment with pancreatic juice. Similarly, delipidation of thylakoids caused a decrease in binding, the dissociation constant being 2.0 × 10⁻⁷ mol L⁻¹. CONCLUSION The binding of pancreatic lipase-colipase to the thylakoid membrane is strong and may explain the inhibition of lipase-colipase activity by thylakoids. After treatment with proteases to mimic intestinal digestion binding is decreased, but is still high enough to explain the observed metabolic effects of thylakoids in vivo.

Abstract
On the basis of a Plackett-Burman experimental design for a resolution IV level obtained via a foldover strategy, the effect of 11 factors on lycopene in vitro accessibility was investigated. The selected factors were thermal treatment (X1), olive oil addition (X2), gastric pH (X3), gastric digestion time (X4), pepsin concentration (X5), intestinal pH (X6), pancreatin concentration (X7), bile salts concentration (X8), colipase addition (X9), intestinal digestion time (X10), and intestinal digestion speed (X11). Tomato passata was used as a natural source of lycopene. Samples were collected after gastric and intestinal digestion, and from the micellar phase, to quantify the (all-E)-lycopene and its (Z)-isomers by HPLC. Except for X3, X6, X7, and X11, the other factors studied explained lycopene in vitro accessibility, mainly regarding intestinal digestion, with R(2) values ≥ 0.60. Our results showed that the accessibility of lycopene is influenced by the conditions applied during in vitro intestinal digestion.

Abstract
Studies on the digestive secretions in aquatic animals can elucidate certain aspects of their nutritive physiology. The aim of the present study was to compare the digestive lipase and phospholipase activities in ten marine species belonging to four classes following the taxonomic classification of marine organisms. All aquatic digestive tissues tested are equipped with lipase and phospholipase activities, assuming the hydrolysis of fat-rich food. The lipolytic activities determined in the pancreases of cartilaginous fishes were greater than those in bony fishes, molluscs and crustaceans. This finding might be explained by the strong digestive utilization of fat-rich macronutrients by these carnivorous fishes. A trend of activities and stabilities at different pH and temperatures for crude lipases and phospholipases from these aquatic animals suggests that the optimum pH and temperature for marine lipases are species dependent. Interestingly, the sardine caecal lipase and phospholipase were found to be mostly stable in a broad range of acidic pH values. The maximum activities of lipolytic enzymes from the hepatopancreases of Hexaplex trunculus (molluscs) and Carcinus mediterranus (crustaceans) were found to be 50 and 60 °C, respectively, whereas the optimal temperature of lipolytic enzymes for the other species was classically around 40 °C. Thermoactivity of molluscs' lipolytic preparations makes them potential candidates in industrial applications. Among digestive glands studied, only pancreas (cartilaginous fish) contained the classically known colipase. Regarded as the most primitive living jawed vertebrates, cartilaginous fishes represented by sharks and rays could be considered as the oldest vertebrates possessing a complex digestive system like that of mammals.

Abstract
Penaeus vannamei lipase was purified from midgut gland of whiteleg shrimp. Pure lipase (E.C. 3.1.1.3) was obtained after Superdex 200 gel filtration and Resource Q anionic exchange. The pure lipase, which is a glycosylated molecule, is a monomer having a molecular mass of about 44.8 kDa, as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis. The lipase hydrolyses short and long-chain triacylglycerols and naphthol derivates at comparable rates. A specific activity of 1787 U mg(-1) and 475 U mg(-1) was measured with triolein and tributyrin as substrates, respectively, at pH 8.0 and 30°C in the absence of colipase. The lipase showed a K (m, app) of 3.22 mM and k (cat, app)/K (m, app) of 0.303 × 10(3) mM(-1) s(-1) using triolein as substrate. Natural detergents, such as sodium deoxycholate, act as potent inhibitors of the lipase. This inhibition can be reversed by adding fresh oil emulsion. Result with tetrahydrolipstatin, an irreversible inhibitor, suggests that the lipase is a serine enzyme. Peptide sequences of the lipase were determined and compared with the full-length sequence of lipase which was obtained by the rapid amplification of cDNA ends method. The full cDNA of the pvl was 1,186 bp, with a deduced protein of 362 amino acids that includes a consensus sequence (GXSXG) of the lipase superfamily of α/β-hydrolase. The gene exhibits features of conserved catalytic residues and high homology with various mammalian and insect lipase genes. A potential lid sequence is suggested for pvl.

Abstract
It is increasingly recognized that changes in the composition of the oil-water interface can markedly affect pancreatic lipase adsorption and function. To understand interfacial mechanisms determining lipase activity, we investigated the adsorption behavior of bile salts and pancreatic colipase and lipase onto digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG) and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) monolayers at the air-water interface. The results from Langmuir trough and pendant drop experiments showed that a DGDG interface was more resistant to the adsorption of bile salts, colipase, and lipase compared to that of DPPC. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) images showed that the adsorption of bile salts into a DPPC monolayer decreased the size of the liquid condensed (LC) domains while there was no visible topographical change for DGDG systems. The results also showed that colipase and lipase adsorbed exclusively onto the mixed DPPC-bile salt regions and not the DPPC condensed phase. When the colipase and lipase were in excess, they fully covered the mixed DPPC-bile salt regions. However, the colipase and lipase coverage on the mixed DGDG-bile salt monolayer was incomplete and discontinuous. It was postulated that bile salts adsorbed into the DPPC monolayers filling the gaps between the lipid headgroups and spacing out the lipid molecules, making the lipid hydrocarbon tails more exposed to the surface. This created hydrophobic patches suitable for the binding of colipase and lipase. In contrast, bile salts adsorbed less easily into the DGDG monolayer because DGDG has a larger headgroup, which has strong intermolecular interactions and the ability to adopt different orientations at the interface. Thus, there are fewer hydrophobic patches that are of sufficient size to accommodate the colipase on the mixed DGDG-bile salt monolayer compared to the mixed DPPC-bile salt regions. The results from this work have reinforced the hypothesis that the interfacial molecular packing of lipids at the oil-water interface influences the adsorption of bile salts, colipase, and lipase, which in turn impacts the rate of lipolysis.

Abstract
Enterostatin is a peptide that regulates dietary fat intake in rodents and inhibits insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells. Microarray studies of the genomic response of both a human hepatoma cell line (HepG2 cells) and a mouse hypothalamic cell line (GT1-7 cells) to enterostatin suggested that it might regulate protein trafficking. Using semi-quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot analysis, we confirmed that enterostatin upregulated Scamp2 and down regulated Dynamin2 in these cell lines. The receptor for enterostatin is the F1-ATPase beta subunit. We transfected HepG2 cells with either a green fluorescent protein (GFP) tagged F1-ATPase beta subunit or a red fluorescent protein (RFP) tagged F1-ATPase alpha subunit to study the effects of enterostatin on translocation of its own receptor protein. Enterostatin induced movement of GFP-beta subunit to the cell periphery area but did not have any effect on the localization of RFP-alpha subunit protein in HepG2. As Scamp2 is involved in glucose uptake in mouse Beta-TC6 insulinoma cells we tested enterostatin's effect in Beta-TC6 cells. Glucose stimulated insulin release was inhibited by enterostatin as reported previously. Using siRNA to Scamp2 did not change glucose stimulated insulin release but siRNA to Dynamin2 and dominant negative Dynamin2 (Dyn K44A) inhibited glucose stimulated insulin release and abolished the response to enterostatin. This suggests enterostatin inhibits glucose stimulated insulin release in pancreatic beta cells through down regulation of Dynamin2. This study also suggests that enterostatin might have a more generalized effect on protein trafficking in various cells.

Abstract
Our concepts of hormone receptors have, until recently, been narrowly defined. In the last few years, an increasing number of reports identify novel proteins, such as enzymes, acting as receptors. In this review we cover the novel receptors for the hormones atrial naturetic hormone, enterostatin, hepcidin, thyroid hormones, estradiol, progesterone, and the vitamin D metabolites 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) and 24,25(OH)(2)D(3).

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a multifactorial and polygenic disorder with increasing prevalence. Recently, a polymorphism in the gene encoding procolipase, a cysteine for arginine substitution at position 92, was associated with type 2 diabetes in two human populations. Because procolipase plays a critical role in dietary fat metabolism, polymorphisms that affect the function of procolipase could influence the development of type 2 diabetes. We hypothesized that the Arg92Cys polymorphism has functional consequences. To test our hypothesis, we expressed recombinant cysteine 92 (Cys92) procolipase in a yeast expression system and compared the function and stability of purified Cys92 with that of the more common arginine 92 (Arg92) procolipase. Cys92 fully restored the activity of bile-salt inhibited lipase with short- and medium-chain triglycerides but only had 50% of Arg92 function with long-chain triglycerides. After storage at 4 degrees C, Cys92 lost the ability to restore pancreatic triglyceride lipase activity with medium- and long-chain triglycerides. The loss of function correlated with the inability of Cys92 to anchor lipase on an emulsion surface and oxidation of the cysteine. No detectable degradation or intramolecular disulfide formation occurred in Cys92 after storage. Our findings demonstrate that the Arg92Cys polymorphism decreases the function of Cys92 colipase. This change may contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
The hypothalamus is the main appetite-regulating center in the brain receiving peripheral signals regarding the metabolic status of the body. Pancreatic procolipase has recently been identified in rat hypothalamus. Procolipase is known mainly for its actions in the intestine where it is cleaved to colipase, an enzyme required for the maintenance of pancreatic lipase activity, and enterostatin, a peptide involved in appetite regulation through the gut-brain axis. Colipase is able to increase the activity of pancreatic lipase-related protein-2 (PLRP2), a lipase also expressed in extra-pancreatic tissues. This study was performed to elucidate if PLRP2, in addition to colipase, is expressed in the hypothalamus and if the mRNAs of colipase and PLRP2 respond to metabolic challenges such as fasting, high-fat feeding or feeding sugar solutions. RNA from rat hypothalamus was extracted and subjected to RT-PCR. For quantitative mRNA analysis of hypothalamic tissue from the different metabolic situations real-time RT-PCR was used. We found PLRP2 and colipase mRNA to be expressed in the hypothalamus. An overnight fast resulted in down-regulated colipase (3-fold) and PLRP2 (7-fold) mRNA compared to freely fed rats. Conversely, high-fat feeding resulted in up-regulated colipase and PLRP2 mRNA (1.3-fold and 1.8-fold, respectively) compared to standard chow-fed rats. A similar up-regulation in mRNA expression was observed after offering sugar solutions. In conclusion, PLRP2 mRNA is expressed in the rat hypothalamus and both procolipase and PLRP-2 mRNA are down-regulated during fasting and up-regulated during conditions of metabolic excess, suggesting an involvement in signaling energy availability.

Abstract
In recent years, recovery and characterization of enzymes from fish and aquatic invertebrates have taken place and this had led to the emergence of some interesting new applications of these enzymes. However, much less is known about lipases from crustaceans. A lipolytic activity was located in the crab digestive glands (hepatopancreas), from which a crab digestive lipase (CDL) was purified. Pure CDL has a molecular mass of 65kDa as determined by SDS/PAGE analysis. Unlike known digestive lipases, CDL displayed its maximal activity on long and short-chain triacylglycerols at a temperature of 60 degrees C. A specific activity of 500U/mg or 130U/mg was obtained with TC(4) or olive oil as substrate, respectively. Only 10% of the maximal activity was detected at 37 degrees C. The enzyme retained 80% of its maximal activity when incubated during 10 min at 60 degrees C, and was completely inactivated at a temperature higher than 65 degrees C. Interestingly, neither colipase, nor bile salts were detected in the crab hepatopancreas. Which suggests that colipase evolved in invertebrates simultaneously with the appearance of an exocrine pancreas and a true liver which produce bile salts. No similarity between the 13 N-terminal amino acid residues of CDL was found with those of known other digestive lipases.

Abstract
Access to the active site of human pancreatic lipase (HPL) is controlled by a surface loop (the lid) that undergoes a conformational change in the presence of amphiphiles and lipid substrate. The question of how and when the lid opens still remains to be elucidated, however. A paramagnetic probe was covalently bound to the lid via the D249C mutation, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy was used to monitor the conformational change in solution. Two EPR spectral components, corresponding to distinct mobilities of the probe, were attributed to the closed and open conformations of the HPL lid, based on experiments performed with the E600 inhibitor. The open conformation of the lid was observed in solution at supramicellar bile salt concentrations. Colipase alone did not induce lid opening but increased the relative proportions of the open conformation in the presence of bile salts. The opening of the lid was found to be a reversible process. Using various colipase to lipase molar ratios, a correlation between the proportion of the open conformation and the catalytic activity of HPL was observed.

Abstract
Among numerous regulatory peptide (RP) it is possible to presumably indicate the relict, evolutionary ancient RP. They combine three features: formation from non-specialized proteins-precursors, a comparatively high resistance to action of proteases in the organism media, and maximal simplicity of their structure. The examples of them are glyprolines--a recently identified RP family, as well as tuftsin. Several other praline-containing RP in terminal sites also seem to belong to the evolutionary ancient RP. The proposed approach to studies on the RP evolution is additional to those used traditionally in this problem.

Abstract
Three colipases were purified from pancreas of two birds (ostrich and turkey) and one mammal (dromedary). After acidic and/or heat treatment and precipitation by sulfate ammonium and then ethanol, cofactors were purified by Sephadex G-50 gel filtration followed by ion-exchange chromatography first on Mono S and then on Mono Q. One molecular form was obtained from each species with a molecular mass of approximately 10 kDa. Cofactors were not glycosylated. The N-terminal sequences of the three purified cofactors showed high sequence homology. A 90 amino acid sequence of the ostrich cofactor was established based on peptide sequences from four different digests of the denaturated protein using trypsin, chymotrypsin, thermolysin, or staphylococcal protease. This sequence exhibited a high degree of homology with chicken and mammal cofactors. Bile salt-inhibited pancreatic lipases from five species were activated to variable extents by colipases from bird and mammal origins. The bird pancreatic lipase-colipase system appears to be functionally similar to homologous lipolytic systems from higher mammals. Our comparative study showed that mammal colipase presents a lower activation level toward bird lipases than the bird counterpart. Three-dimensional modeling of ostrich colipase suggested a structural explanation of this fact.

Abstract
High-fat diets are often associated with greater caloric intake and weight gain. Since satiety during fat intake is induced by fat in the intestine we investigated the efficiency of a lipid compound that retards fat digestion to regulate fat intake. We found this compound to reduce high-fat food intake, body weight and blood lipids in Sprague-Dawley rats, without causing steatorrhea. The absence of steatorrhea is explained by an increased pancreatic lipase/colipase secretion, compensating the impaired lipolysis by the added compound. The animals also had an elevated CCK secretion. The satiety for fat may be the consequence of elevated CCK and procolipase/enterostatin levels. We conclude that compounds can be found that delay intestinal fat digestion and control high-fat food intake through the release of satiety signals, without causing steatorrhea. The absence of steatorrhea makes such compounds advantageous over lipase inhibitors in the treatment of obesity.

Abstract
Enterostatin is a pentapeptide released from its precursor protein procolipase, which is synthesized in the exocrine pancreas and gastric mucosa. As central injection of enterostatin has potent effects on feeding, we hypothesized that the procolipase may also be expressed in the brain. We confirmed the presence of preprocolipase gene expression in amygdala by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and Northern blot analysis and of protein expression by Western blots. Immunohistochemical analysis using antibodies for procolipase and enterostatin identified their immunoreactivity (IR) in rat brain. Procolipase IR was present in the cytoplasm of paraventricular, amygdala, and the dorsal thalamus nucleus. Enterostatin IR was evident in the fibers of the dorsal thalamus and arcuate nucleus. In vivo injection of enterostatin antibody into rat amygdala increased food intake. These data suggest that procolipase and enterostatin are synthesized within specific regions of the brain that function in the regulation of food intake centrally.

Abstract
Environmental light is the 'zeitgeber' (time-giver) of circadian behaviour. Constant darkness is considered a 'free-running' circadian state. Mammals encounter constant darkness during hibernation. Ablation of the master clock synchronizer, the suprachiasmatic nucleus, abolishes torpor, a hibernation-like state, implicating the circadian clock in this phenomenon. Here we report a mechanism by which constant darkness regulates the gene expression of fat catabolic enzymes in mice. Genes for murine procolipase (mClps) and pancreatic lipase-related protein 2 (mPlrp2) are activated in a circadian manner in peripheral organs during 12 h dark:12 h dark (DD) but not light-dark (LD) cycles. This mechanism is deregulated in circadian-deficient mPer1-/-/mPer2m/m mice. We identified circadian-regulated 5'-AMP, which is elevated in the blood of DD mice, as a key mediator of this response. Synthetic 5'-AMP induced torpor and mClps expression in LD animals. Torpor induced by metabolic stress was associated with elevated 5'-AMP levels in DD mice. Levels of glucose and non-esterified fatty acid in the blood are reversed in DD and LD mice. Induction of mClps expression by 5'-AMP in LD mice was reciprocally linked to blood glucose levels. Our findings uncover a circadian metabolic rhythm in mammals.

Abstract
We have investigated the possibility that enterostatin may inhibit the intake of dietary fat by inhibiting either galanin or NPY-induced feeding pathways. Rats, adapted to either high fat (HF) or low fat-high carbohydrate (HC) diets and fitted with third ventricular cannulas were used to study the effects of intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) enterostatin on i.c.v. NPY and galanin induced feeding responses in satiated rats. An equimolar dose of enterostatin (0.1 nmoles) inhibited, while a tenfold excess of enterostatin abolished the feeding response to galanin in rats adapted to a HF diet. The galanin stimulation of food intake was reduced in rats adapted to the HC diet and this response was less sensitive to inhibition by enterostatin. Enterostatin had no inhibitory effects on NPY-induced feeding in rats adapted to the HC diet and only a small inhibitory effect, at tenfold molar excess, in rats adapted to the HF diet. The ability of enterostatin to bind to galanin or NPY Y-1 receptors was investigated in ligand binding studies. Enterostatin failed to displace 125I-galanin or 125I-PYY from specific binding sites in rat forebrain homogenates or SK-N-MC cells respectively. The data provide support for the hypothesis that enterostatin specifically inhibits a galanin-responsive fat intake system, but indicate that this effect is not modulated by direct interaction with either galanin or NPY-Y1 receptors.

Abstract
Enterostatin selectively inhibits the intake of the dietary fat after both central and peripheral administration. Our previous studies have shown that a central site of action is the central nucleus of amygdala. Serotonergic agonists administered into the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) inhibit fat intake and serotonergic antagonists block the feeding suppression induced by amygdala enterostatin, suggesting that there are functional connections between the PVN and amygdala that affect the feeding response to enterostatin. Our purpose was to identify the anatomic and functional projections from the amygdala to the PVN and hypothalamic area that are responsive to enterostatin, by using a retrograde tracer fluorogold (FG) and c-Fos expression. Rats were injected with fluorogold unilaterally into the PVN and a chronic amygdala cannula was implanted ipsilaterally. After 10 days recovery, rats were injected with either enterostatin (0.1 nmol) or saline vehicle (0.1 microl) into the amygdala and sacrificed 2 h later by cardiac perfusion under anesthesia. The brains were subjected to dual immunohistochemistry to visualize both FG and c-Fos-positive cells. FG/c-Fos double-labeled cells were found in forebrain regions including the PVN, amygdala, lateral hypothalamus (LH), ventral medial hypothalamus (VMH) and arcuate nucleus (ARC). The data provides the first anatomical evidence that enterostatin activates amygdala neurons that have functional and anatomic projections directly to the PVN and also activates neurons in the arcuate, LH and VMH, which innervate the PVN.

Abstract
It has been suggested that the F1-ATPase beta-subunit is the enterostatin receptor. We investigated the binding activity of the purified protein with a labeled antagonist, beta-casomorphin1-7, in the absence and presence of cold enterostatin. 125I-beta-casomorphin1-7 weakly binds to the rat F1-ATPase beta-subunit. Binding was promoted by low concentrations of cold enterostatin but displaced by higher concentrations. To study the relationship between binding activity and feeding behavior, we examined the ability of a number of enterostatin analogs to affect beta-casomorphin1-7 binding to the F1-ATPase beta-subunit. Peptides that suppressed food intake promoted beta-casomorphin1-7 binding whereas peptides that stimulated food intake or did not affect the food intake displaced beta-casomorphin1-7 binding. Surface plasmon resonance measurements show that the beta-subunit of F1-ATPase binds immobilized enterostatin with a dissociation constant of 150 nM, where no binding could be detected for the assembled F1-ATPase complex. Western blot analysis showed the F1-ATPase beta-subunit was present on plasma and mitochondrial membranes of rat liver and amygdala. The data provides evidence that the F1-ATPase beta-subunit is the enterostatin receptor and suggests that enterostatin and beta-casomorphin1-7 bind to distinct sites on the protein.

Abstract
Human pancreatic lipase-related protein 2 (HPLRP2) was identified for the first time in pancreatic juice using specific anti-peptide antibodies and purified to homogeneity. Antibodies were raised in the rabbit using a synthetic peptide from the HPLRP2 protein sequence deduced from cDNA. Western blotting analysis showed that these antibodies did not react with classical human pancreatic lipase (HPL) or human pancreatic lipase-related protein 1 (HPLRP1) but cross-reacted with native rat PLRP2 (RPLRP2), as well as with recombinant rat and guinea-pig PLRP2 (GPLRP2). Immunoaffinity chromatography was performed on immobilized anti-recombinant HPLRP2 polyclonal antibodies to purify native HPLRP2 after conventional chromatographic steps including gel filtration and chromatrography on an anion-exchanger. The substrate specificity of HPLRP2 was investigated using various triglycerides, phospholipids and galactolipids as substrates. The lipase activity on triglycerides was inhibited by bile salts and weakly restored by colipase. The phospholipase activity of HPLRP2 on phospholipid micelles was very low. A significant level of galactolipase activity was measured using monogalactosyldiglyceride monomolecular films. These data suggest that the main physiological function of HPLRP2 is the hydrolysis of galactolipids, which are the main lipids present in vegetable food.

Abstract
Two types of experiments were performed to study the reversibility of interfacial adsorption of pancreatic lipase (PL) to fat droplets during lipolysis. Lipolysis was measured in olive oil/gum arabic emulsions containing radiolabeled triolein in the presence of bile salts and lecithin at rate-limiting concentrations of porcine PL (PPL) or human PL (HPL). The lipolysis rate in a labeled emulsion, i.e. release of [(14)C]oleic acid, was immediately reduced by around 50% upon dilution with an equal amount of an unlabeled emulsion. Further, lipolysis was rapidly and completely suppressed when a non-exchanging lipase inhibitor was present in the second emulsion. These results indicate hopping of lipase between emulsion droplets. Alternative explanations were excluded. Hopping of PL between triolein droplets stabilized with gum arabic at supramicellar bile salt concentrations was observed only in the presence, not in the absence, of lecithin. Displacement from a trioctanoin-water interface of active HPL by an inactive mutant (S152G) was studied in the presence of bile salts by measuring HPL distribution between the water phase and the oil-water interface. Colipase was limiting for HPL binding to the oil-water interface (colipase to lipase molar ratio: 0.5) and, thus, for lipolysis. Upon adding S152G, which has the same affinity for colipase, inactive and active HPL were found to compete for binding at the oil-water interface. When equal amounts of HPL and HPL S152G were used, the lipolysis rate dropped to half the maximum rate recorded with HPL alone, suggesting that half the active HPL was rapidly desorbed from the oil-water interface. Therefore, under various conditions, PL does not remain irreversibly adsorbed to the oil-water interface, but can exchange rapidly between oil droplets, via an equilibrium between soluble and lipid-bound PL.

Abstract
Enterostatin, a pentapeptide released from the exocrine pancreas and gastrointestinal tract, selectively inhibits fat intake through activation of an afferent vagal signaling pathway. This study investigated if the effects of enterostatin were mediated through a CCK-dependent pathway. The series of in vivo and in vitro experiments included studies of 1) the feeding effect of peripheral enterostatin on Otsuka Long Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats lacking CCK-A receptors, 2) the effect of CCK-8S on the intake of a two-choice high-fat (HF)/low-fat (LF) diet, 3) the effects of peripheral or central injection of the CCK-A receptor antagonist lorglumide on the feeding inhibition induced by either central or peripheral enterostatin, and 4) the ability of enterostatin to displace CCK binding in a 3T3 cell line expressing CCK-A receptor gene and in rat brain sections. The results showed that OLTEF rats did not respond to enterostatin (300 microg/kg ip) in contrast to the 23% reduction in intake of HF diet in Long Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LETO) control rats. CCK (1 microg/kg ip) decreased the intake of the HF diet in a two-choice diet regime with a compensatory increase in intake of the LF diet. Peripheral injection of lorglumide (300 microg/kg) blocked the feeding inhibition induced by either near-celiac arterial or intracerebroventricular enterostatin, whereas intracerebroventricular lorglumide (5 nmol icv) only blocked the response to intracerebroventricular enterostatin but not to arterial enterostatin. Enterostatin did not bind on CCK-A receptors because neither enterostatin nor its analogs VPDPR and beta-casomorphin displaced [3H]L-364,718 from CCK-A receptors expressed in 3T3 cells or the binding of 125I-CCK-8S from rat brain sections. The data suggest that both the peripheral and central responses to enterostatin are mediated through or dependent on peripheral and central CCK-A receptors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A diet containing a high amount of fat has been shown, in short-term studies, to increase the expression of pancreatic lipase and colipase. AIM To investigate the effects of long-term high-fat-feeding (113 days) on the mRNA expression of pancreatic lipase, colipase, pancreatic lipase-related proteins (1 and 2), and uncoupling proteins during the development of obesity and glucose intolerance. METHODOLOGY Mice were fed either a high-fat or standard diet and killed after 3, 13, 57, and 113 days. Brown and white adipose tissue and pancreas were collected for mRNA extraction [corrected]. RESULTS The high-fat-fed mice became obese and glucose-intolerant by 113 days. The high-fat diet increased lipase (p < 0.05) expression initially. At the end of the experiment, the lipase levels had decreased to the level of the control. Colipase levels did not change during the first 57 days of high-fat feeding but decreased below control levels by 113 days (p < 0.05). The high-fat diet increased brown adipose tissue uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1)(p < 0.005) expression but not the expression of uncoupling protein 2. CONCLUSION Long-term high-fat feeding, leading to glucose intolerance, occurs with a simultaneous decrease in the mRNA expression of pancreatic lipase and colipase and an increase in UCP1 expression.

Abstract
In human adults, the enzymatic hydrolysis of dietary fat along the digestive tract is sequentially catalyzed by two main enzymes, human gastric lipase (HGL) and human pancreatic lipase (HPL). Both a chemically inhibited form of HPL as well as an inactive HPL mutant with a glycine residue substituted for its catalytic serine were found to be strong inactivators of HPL activity. In the presence of bile salts, this inhibition was clearly due to competition for colipase. We established that the chemically inhibited HPL, probably in its open conformation, had a much greater affinity for colipase than the closed native form of HPL. These inhibitory effects are quite substantial, because a 0.2-M excess of the chemically inhibited HPL form relative to HPL reduced the catalytic lipolytic activity by 50% in the presence of an equimolar amount of colipase.

Abstract
Pancreatic triglyceride lipase (PTL) and its protein cofactor, colipase, are required for efficient dietary triglyceride digestion. In addition to PTL, pancreatic acinar cells synthesize two pancreatic lipase related proteins (PLRP1 and PLRP2), which have a high degree of sequence and structural homology with PTL. PLRP1 has no known activity. PTL and PLRP2 differ in substrate specificity, behavior in bile salts and dependence on colipase. Each protein has a globular amino-terminal (N-terminal) domain, which contains the catalytic site for PTL and PLRP2, and a beta-sandwich carboxyl-terminal (C-terminal) domain, which includes the predominant colipase-binding site for PTL. Inactive and active conformations of PTL have been described. They differ in the position of a surface loop, the lid domain, and of the beta5-loop. In the inactive conformation, the lid covers the active site and, upon activation by bile salt micelles and colipase or by lipid-water interfaces, the lid moves dramatically to open and configure the active site. After the lid movement, PTL and colipase create a large hydrophobic plateau that can interact with the lipid-water interface. A hydrophobic surface loop in the C-terminal domain, the beta5' loop, may also contribute to the interfacial-binding domain of the PTL-colipase complex.

Abstract
Although structurally similar to pancreatic lipase (PL), the key enzyme of intestinal fat digestion, pancreatic lipase-related protein type 2 (PLRP2) differs from PL in certain functional properties. Notably, PLRP2 has a broader substrate specificity than PL, and unlike that of PL, its activity is not restored by colipase in the presence of bile salts. In the studies presented here, the activation mechanism of horse PLRP2 was studied through active site-directed inhibition experiments, and the results demonstrate fundamental differences with that of PL. The opening of the horse PLRP2 flap occurs as soon as bile salt monomers are present, is accelerated in the presence of micelles, and does not require the presence of colipase. Moreover, in contrast to PL, horse PLRP2 is able to directly interact with a bile salt micelle to form an active binary complex, without the micelle being presented by colipase, as evidenced by molecular sieving experiments. These findings, together with the sensitivity of the horse PLRP2 flap to partial proteolysis, are indicative of a higher flexibility of the flap of horse PLRP2 relative to PL. From these results, it can be concluded that PLRP2 can adopt an active conformation in the intestine, which could be important for the further understanding of the physiological role of PLRP2. Finally, this work emphasizes the essential role of colipase in lipase catalysis at the lipid-water interface in the presence of bile.

Abstract
Enterostatin, a pentapeptide derived from the precursor protein procolipase has been shown to inhibit dietary fat intake and to reduce body fat after chronic administration in rats. We repeat that the enterostatin amino acid sequence from the genomic DNA of 5 different rat strains is APGPR. 125I-APGPR bound to three proteins (300, 205 and 60 kDa) in rat serum and one 60 kDa protein in chicken serum. These serum binding proteins were also eluted by APGPR affinity chromatography. Western blot analysis of serum protein identified enterostatin-like immunoreactivity associated with the same molecular weight bands. Our results demonstrate the enterostatin sequence in rat is APGPR and suggest the presence of enterostatin binding proteins in rat and chicken serum.

Abstract
An experiment was conducted to study the effect of feeding diets containing fat sources with different fatty acid composition (fish oil, coconut oil or lard, 10 g/100 g diet) on exocrine pancreatic secretion in piglets after weaning. A total of 16 barrows were weaned at 4 wk of age; 3 d later, they were surgically fitted with a catheter in the pancreatic duct for continuous collection of pancreatic juice. Collections of pancreatic juice were made every other day starting 4 d postsurgically. Piglets fed the fish oil diet secreted a significantly greater volume of pancreatic juice than piglets fed the coconut oil or lard diets. The output [U/(h. kg(0.75))] of lipase was higher in piglets fed fish oil than in piglets fed lard or coconut oil. The output of colipase was greater in piglets fed fish oil and coconut oil than in those fed lard. The dietary treatments did not affect the output of carboxylester hydrolase. The output of trypsin was significantly lower in piglets fed lard than in piglets fed fish oil or coconut oil diets and the output of carboxypeptidase B was greater in those fed the fish oil diet. Protein, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase A, elastase and amylase outputs did not differ among the dietary treatment groups. The apparent digestibilities of nutrients and energy were measured in feces and did not differ among groups. Thus, the greater output of lipase in fish oil-fed piglets did not result in a greater digestibility of fat in this diet.

Abstract
Bile salt stimulated lipase (BSSL), a lipolytic enzyme secreted with pancreatic juice and with human milk, is in concert with colipase-dependent pancreatic lipase, important for the intestinal digestion of dietary lipids. BSSL may also facilitate uptake of free cholesterol from the intestinal lumen, while colipase-dependent lipase has a similar role for fatty acids. According to this theory, the two lipases bind to the intestinal mucosa via a common heparin-involving receptor. In the present study, binding of the two lipases to heparin was explored in vitro using purified human lipases and heparin molecules varying in both chain length and charge density. Native, but not denatured, BSSL bound avidly to heparin and several of the heparin variants. In contrast, at physiologic salt concentration, colipase-dependent lipase did not bind to heparin. Thus, our data do not support the view that the two lipases share a common intestinal heparin-like receptor. Hence, it seems unlikely that such binding could be of physiologic relevance for colipase-dependent lipase, although for BSSL the data are supportive.

Abstract
Pancreatic triglyceride lipase (PTL) requires colipase for activity. Various constituents in meals and in bile, particularly bile acids, inhibit PTL. Colipase restores activity to lipase in the presence of inhibitory substances like bile acids. Presumably, colipase functions by anchoring and orienting PTL at the oil-water interface. The x-ray structure of the colipase.PTL complex supports this model. In the x-ray structure, colipase has a hydrophobic surface positioned to bind substrate and a hydrophilic surface, lying opposite the hydrophobic surface, with two putative lipase-binding domains, Glu(45)/Asp(89) and Glu(64)/Arg(65). To determine whether the hydrophilic surface interacts with PTL in solution, we introduced mutations into the putative PTL binding domains of human colipase. Each mutant was expressed, purified, and assessed for activity against various substrates. Most of the mutants showed impaired ability to reactivate PTL, with mutations in the Glu(64)/Arg(65) binding site causing the greatest effect. Analysis indicated that the mutations decreased the affinity of the colipase mutants for PTL and prevented the formation of PTL.colipase complexes. The impaired function of the mutants was most apparent when assayed in micellar bile salt solutions. Most mutants stimulated PTL activity normally in monomeric bile salt solutions. We also tested the mutants for their ability to bind substrate and anchor lipase to tributyrin. Even though the ability of the mutants to anchor PTL to an interface decreased in proportion to their activity, each mutant colipase bound to tributyrin to the same extent as wild type colipase. These results demonstrate that the hydrophilic surface of colipase interacts with PTL in solution to form active colipase.PTL complexes, that bile salt micelles influence that binding, and that the proper interaction of colipase with PTL requires the Glu(64)/Arg(65) binding site.

Abstract
The cosecretion of pancreatic lipase and colipase are important in normal fat digestion. As adsorption of phosphatidylcholine to the lipid substrate interferes with lipase activity, hydrolysis to lysophosphatidylcholine with subsequent desorption is also essential for fat digestion. There are some data regarding the secretion of pancreatic phospholipases in normal adults but none in children or patients with pancreatic disease. In the present study, we aimed a) to develop an accurate fast assay method to measure phospholipase A(2) and b) to determine the secretion rate of pancreatic phospholipase A(2) and whether it is cosecreted with lipase and colipase in children with exocrine pancreatic dysfunction. Nine male patients aged 0.5 to 16 y (seven with cystic fibrosis, two with malabsorption) underwent pancreatic stimulation tests. Their colipase and lipase secretion rates were measured by titrimetric methods and phospholipase A(2) and A(1) by phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((31)P NMR). It was found that the phospholipases, colipase, and lipase were absent in the two patients with pancreatic insufficiency. In patients with normal absorption, there were marked inter-and intrasubject variations of lipase, colipase, and phospholipase secretion rates that were consistent with the degree of exocrine pancreatic dysfunction. However, in the three 20-min stimulation periods of the pancreatic function test, pancreatic phospholipase is cosecreted with lipase and colipase, and average colipase and phospholipase A(2) secretion rates follow a similar or parallel pattern. These findings are consistent with the important role of pancreatic phospholipases in intestinal phospholipid hydrolysis leading to the desorption of phospholipids from the lipid substrate and enhancing lipid hydrolysis and phospholipid absorption.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The lipolytic potential of digestive lipases in vivo has always been deduced so far from their in vitro activities under nonphysiologic conditions. In the present study, the specific activities of human gastric lipase (HGL) and pancreatic lipase (HPL) were measured on dietary triglycerides (TGs) during test meal lipolysis. METHODS Healthy human volunteers ingested a liquid or solid meal. The specific activities of HGL and HPL were estimated from the lipase and free fatty acid (FFA) outputs at the postpyloric and duodenal levels, respectively. Based on the in vivo data, lipolysis was also performed in vitro by mixing the meal either with gastric juice and subsequently with pancreatic juice and bile or with purified HGL and HPL. FFAs were measured by thin-layer chromatography, and the specific activities of HGL and HPL were expressed as micromoles of FFA per minute per milligram of lipase. RESULTS In vitro, the specific activities on the liquid meal TGs were 32 (gastric juice) and 34 (pure lipase) micromol x min(-1) x mg(-1) with HGL and 47 (pancreatic juice) and 43 (pure lipase) micromol x min(-1). mg(-1) with HPL. The specific activities on the solid meal TGs were 33 (gastric juice) and 32 (pure lipase) micromol x min(-1) x mg(-1) with HGL and 12 (pancreatic juice) and 15 (pure lipase) micromol x min(-1) x mg(-1) with HPL. The in vivo values obtained were in the same range. The secretory lipase outputs were 21.6+/-14.5 mg HGL and 253.5+/-95.5 mg HPL with the liquid test meal and 15.2+/-5.1 mg HGL and 202.9+/-96.1 mg HPL with the solid test meal. CONCLUSIONS The specific activities of HGL and HPL on meal TGs were much lower than those measured in vitro under optimized assay conditions (1300-8000). However, these low specific activities are enough for the meal TGs to be completely lipolysed, given the amounts of HGL and HPL secreted during a meal.

Abstract
Nonshivering thermogenesis induced in brown adipose tissue (BAT) during high-fat feeding is mediated through uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1). UCP2 is a recently identified homologue found in many tissues. To determine the role of UCP1 and UCP2 in thermoregulation and energy balance, we investigated the long-term effect of high-fat feeding on mRNA levels in mice at two different ambient temperatures. We also treated mice with the anorectic peptide enterostatin and compared mRNA levels in BAT, white adipose tissue (WAT), stomach, and duodenum. Here, we report that high-fat feeding at 23 degrees C increased UCP1 and UCP2 levels in BAT four- and threefold, respectively, and increased UCP2 levels fourfold in WAT. However, at 29 degrees C, UCP1 decreased, whereas UCP2 remained unchanged in BAT and increased twofold in WAT. Enterostatin increased UCP1 and decreased UCP2 mRNA in BAT. In stomach and duodenum, high-fat feeding decreased UCP2 mRNA, whereas enterostatin increased it. Our results suggest that the regulation of uncoupling protein mRNA levels by high-fat feeding is dependent on ambient temperature and that enterostatin is able to modulate it.

Abstract
The 3D structure of pancreatic lipase (PL) consists of two functional domains. The N-terminal domain belongs to the alpha/beta hydrolase fold and contains the active site, which involves a catalytic triad analogous to that present in serine proteases. The beta-sandwich C-terminal domain of PL plays an important part in the binding process between the lipase and colipase, the specific PL cofactor. Recent structure-function studies have suggested that the PL C-terminal domain may have an extra role apart from that of binding colipase. This domain contains an exposed hydrophobic loop (beta5') which was found to be located on the same side as the hydrophobic loops surrounding the active site, and it may be involved in the lipid binding process. Indirect evidence for this new function of the PL C-terminal domain has been provided by studies with monoclonal antibodies directed against the beta5' loop. The catalytic activity of the PL-antibody complexes on water insoluble substrates decreased drastically, whereas their esterase activity on a soluble substrate remained unchanged. During the last few years, a number of protein structures (15-lipoxygenase, alpha-toxin from Clostridium perfringens) have been determined that contain domains with close structural homologies with the beta-sandwich C-terminal domain of PL. Generally speaking, these domains show structural homologies with the C2 domains occurring in a wide range of proteins involved in signal transduction (e.g. phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C, protein kinase C, cytosolic phospholipase A2), membrane traffic (e.g. synaptotagmin I, rabphilin) and membrane disruption (e.g. perforin). Here it is proposed to review the structure and function of the C2 domains, based on the recent 3D structures and improved sequence alignments.

Abstract
Previously [van Bennekum, A. M., et al. (1999) Biochemistry 38, 4150-4156] we showed that carboxyl ester lipase (CEL)-deficient (CELKO) mice have normal levels of pancreatic, bile salt-dependent retinyl ester hydrolase (REH) activity. In the present study, we further investigated this non-CEL REH activity in pancreas homogenates of CELKO and wild-type (WT) mice, and rats. REH activity was detected in both the presence and absence of tri- and dihydroxy bile salts in rats, WT mice, and CELKO mice. In contrast, pancreatic cholesteryl ester hydrolase (CEH) activity was only detected in the presence of trihydroxy bile salts and only in rats and WT mice, consistent with CEL-mediated cholesteryl ester hydrolysis. Enzyme assays of pancreatic triglyceride lipase (PTL) showed that there was a colipase-stimulated REH activity in rat and mouse (WT and CELKO) pancreas, consistent with hydrolysis of retinyl ester (RE) by PTL. Pancreatic enzyme activities related to either CEL or PTL were separated using DEAE-chromatography. In both rats and mice (WT and CELKO), REH activity could be attributed mainly to PTL, and to a much smaller extent to CEL. Finally, purified human PTL exhibited similar enzymatic characteristics for triglyceride hydrolysis as well as for retinyl ester hydrolysis, indicating that RE is a substrate for PTL in vivo. Altogether, these studies clearly show that PTL is the major pancreatic REH activity in mice, as well as in rats.

Abstract
Turkey pancreatic lipase (TPL) was purified from delipidated pancreases. Pure TPL (glycerol ester hydrolase, EC 3.1.1.3) was obtained after ammonium sulfate fractionation, Sephacryl S-200 gel filtration, anion exchange chromatography (DEAE-Sepharose) and size exclusion column using high performance liquid chromatography system (HPLC). The pure lipase, which is not a glycoprotein, was presented as a monomer having a molecular mass of about 45 kDa. The lipase activity was maximal at pH 8.5 and 37 degrees C. TPL hydrolyses the long chains triacylglycerols more efficiently than the short ones. A specific activity of 4300 U/mg was measured on triolein as substrate at 37 degrees C and at pH 8.5 in the presence of colipase and 4 mM NaTDC. This enzyme presents the interfacial activation when using tripropionin as substrate. TPL was inactivated when the enzyme was incubated at 65 degrees C or at pH less than 5. Natural detergent (NaTDC), synthetic detergent (Tween-20) or amphipatic protein (beta-lactoglobulin A) act as potent inhibitors of TPL activity. To restore the lipase activity inhibited by NaTDC, colipase should be added to the hydrolysis system. When lipase is inhibited by synthetic detergent or protein, simultaneous addition of colipase and NaTDC was required to restore the TPL activity. The first 22 N-terminal amino acid residues were sequenced. This sequence was similar to those of mammal's pancreatic lipases. The biochemical properties of pancreatic lipase isolated from bird are similar to those of mammals.

Abstract
Colipase is a small protein cofactor needed by pancreatic lipase for the efficient dietary lipid hydrolysis. It binds to the C-terminal, non-catalytic domain of lipase, thereby stabilising an active conformation and considerably increasing the overall hydrophobic binding site. Structural studies of the complex and of colipase alone have clearly revealed the functionality of its architecture. Interestingly, a structural analogy has recently been discovered between colipase and a domain in a developmental protein (Dickkopf), based on sequence analogy and homology modeling. Whether this structural analogy implies a common function (lipid interaction) remains to be clarified. Structural analogies have also been recognised between the pancreatic lipase C-terminal domain, the N-terminal domains of lipoxygenases and the C-terminal domain of alpha-toxin. These non-catalytic domains in the latter enzymes are important for interaction with membranes. It has not been established if these domains are also involved in eventual protein cofactor binding as is the case for pancreatic lipase.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN We have investigated the effect of enterostatin on insulin release by the perfused rat pancreas: (1) under conditions of prolonged fasting and (2) under beta cell stimulation by digestive insulinotropic piptides. RESULTS In pancreases from 24-h starved rats, the insulin response to glucose was reduced (approximately 75%) as compared to that observed in fed rats. This minimal response was abolished by 100 nM enterostatin. In fed rats, 100 nM enterostatin blocked the insulin output evoked by gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) (approximately 75%) and by glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) (approximately 80%). Since both peptides exert their insulinotropic activity by activating the adenylate cyclase/cyclic AMP system, the interference of this pathway by enterostatin may be considered. Enterostatin (100 nM) did not modify the insulin responses to 26-33 fragment of cholecystokinin (CCK-8) and carbachol, substances which activate phosphoinositol turnover within the beta cell. The inhibitory effect of 100 nM enterostatin on glucose-induced insulin release was also observed at 50 nM and 10 nM enterostatin. Finally, des-Arg-enterostatin (100 nM) did not modify glucose-induced insulin output. CONCLUSION Enterostatin inhibits the insulin response to glucose--both under fed and fasted conditions, and to the main digestive insulinotropic peptides--GIP and GLP-I. The entire enterostatic molecule seems to be necessary for it to exert its beta cell blocking effect. White the physiological role of enterostatin has not as yet been established, our observations allow speculation as to whether this peptide is implicated in the entero-insular axis as an antiincretin agent.

Abstract
This study tested the hypothesis that dietary cholesterol uptake by intestinal cells is dependent on the structure and composition of the lipid carriers in the extracellular milieu. In in vivo experiments with female C57BL/6 mice, cholesterol absorption from phospholipid/triacylglycerol emulsions was significantly reduced by administration of tetrahydrolipstatin, an inhibitor of pancreatic lipase. This inhibitor had no effect on the absorption of cholesterol from phospholipid vesicles. The importance of pancreatic-lipase-mediated triacylglycerol hydrolysis for cholesterol transport from emulsions to intestinal cells was confirmed by in vitro experiments with rat IEC-6 intestinal cells. Cellular uptake of cholesterol from emulsions with a phospholipid/triacylglycerol molar ratio of <0.3 could be stimulated by pancreatic lipase/colipase hydrolysis of the core neutral lipids. However, pancreatic lipase/colipase was ineffective in hydrolysing triacylglycerols in emulsions with a phospholipid/triacylglycerol molar ratio of >0.3. Phospholipase A2-mediated hydrolysis of the surface phospholipids was necessary prior to triacylglycerol hydrolysis in these phospholipid-rich emulsions and to the stimulation of cholesterol transport from these particles to IEC-6 cells. The data also revealed that minimal triacylglycerol hydrolysis was sufficient to significantly increase cholesterol transport from lipid emulsions to the intestinal cells. Thus the products of triacylglycerol hydrolysis, namely monoacylglycerol and non-esterified fatty acids, are key determinants in mediating cholesterol transport from lipid emulsions to intestinal cells. Taken together, these results support the hypothesis that remodelling of the surface and core components of lipid carriers is necessary prior to absorption of dietary cholesterol from the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract
Five key amino acid residues from human pancreatic lipase (HPL) are mutated in some pancreatic lipase-related proteins 2 (PLRP2) that are not reactivated by colipase in the presence of bile salts. One of these residues (Y403) is involved in a direct interaction between the HPL C-terminal domain and colipase. The other four residues (R256, D257, Y267, and K268) are involved in the interactions stabilizing the open conformation of the lid domain, which also interacts with colipase. Here we produced and characterized three HPL mutants: HPL Y403N, an HPL four-site mutant (R256G, D257G, Y267F, and K268E), and an HPL five-site mutant (R256G, D257G, Y267F, K268E, and Y403N), in which the HPL amino acids were replaced by those present in human PLRP2. Colipase reactivated both the HPL Y403N mutant and HPL, and Y403 is therefore not essential for lipase-colipase interactions. Both the HPL four-site and five-site mutants showed low activity on trioctanoin, were inhibited by bile salts (sodium taurodeoxycholate, NaTDC) and were not reactivated by colipase. The interfacial binding of the HPL four-site mutant to a trioctanoin emulsion was suppressed in the presence of 4 mM NaTDC and was not restored by addition of colipase. Protein blotting/protein overlay immunoassay revealed that the HPL four-site mutant-colipase interactions are not abolished, and therefore, the absence of reactivation of the HPL four-site mutant is probably due to a lid domain conformation that prevents the interfacial binding of the lipase-colipase complex. The effects of colipase were also studied with HPL(-lid), an HPL mutant showing an 18-residue deletion within the lid domain, which therefore has only one colipase interaction site. HPL(-lid) showed a low activity on trioctanoin, was inhibited by bile salts, and recovered its lipase activity in the presence of colipase. Reactivation of HPL(-lid) by colipase was associated with a strong interfacial binding of the mutant to a trioctanoin emulsion. The lid domain is therefore not essential for either the interfacial binding of HPL or the lipase-colipase interactions.

Abstract
Among the polar interactions occurring in pancreatic lipase/colipase binding, only one ion pair involving lysine 400 on lipase and glutamic acid 45 on colipase has been described. These residues are strictly conserved among species, suggesting that the ion pair is likely to play an important role. Therefore, in order to prevent this interaction, mutations intended to neutralize or inverse the charge of these residues have been introduced in the cDNAs encoding horse lipase and colipase. The recombinant proteins have been expressed in insect cells, and their catalytic properties have been investigated. In all cases, preventing the formation of the correct ion pair Lys400/Glu45 leads to lipase-colipase complexes of reduced affinity unable to perform an efficient catalysis, notably in the presence of bile salt micelles. Diethyl p-nitrophenyl phosphate inhibition experiments with either mutant lipase or mutant colipase indicate a poor stabilization of the lipase flap. These results suggest that the ion pair plays a critical role in the active conformation of the lipase-colipase-micelle ternary complex by contributing to a correct orientation of colipase relative to lipase resulting in a proper opening of the flap.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Procolipase, the cofactor for pancreatic lipase, was recently found in the rat stomach using immunohistochemistry. The aim of this study was to determine the sequence of rat gastric procolipase, to evaluate the expression and secretion during high-fat feeding, and to find out the conditions for activation of gastric procolipase to form colipase and enterostatin. METHODS Gastric procolipase was cloned from a rat complimentary DNA (cDNA) library using a 32P-labeled pancreatic procolipase probe for screening. For the expression of gastric procolipase, rats were fed a high-fat diet for 0, 1, 2, 5, and 14 days. Gastric mucosa was collected for isolation of RNA and gastric juice for measurement of procolipase. After treatment with pepsin, HCl, and trypsin, gastric juice was analyzed on high-performance liquid chromatography for identification of enterostatin. RESULTS The cDNA sequence for gastric procolipase was identical to that of pancreatic procolipase. High-fat diet decreased the expression of gastric procolipase. Enterostatin was present in the gastric juice, with pepsin and acid involved in the cleavage of gastric procolipase. CONCLUSIONS Gastric procolipase is activated to release colipase and enterostatin. The role of gastric colipase may be to prepare lipase-catalyzed fat digestion already in the stomach. Gastric enterostatin may be involved in the onset of early satiety.

Abstract
The interaction of pancreatic triglyceride lipase and colipase at an oil-water interface is required for efficient digestion of dietary fats and provides a model system for the interaction of proteins at biological membranes. Colipase has two important surfaces, a hydrophilic surface that interacts with lipase and a hydrophobic surface that presumably interacts with substrate. To begin our investigations into the role of the hydrophobic surface in the function of colipase, we replaced three neighboring tyrosine residues at positions 55, 58, and 59 in the hydrophobic surface with aspartic acid. Two of the three residues, Tyr55 and Tyr59, influenced the activity of colipase. Introducing aspartic acid at either position decreased the activity with long-chain triglycerides, but not with a short-chain triglyceride. Decreased ability of the mutants to anchor lipase to long-chain triglycerides did not explain the altered activity of the mutants. A mutant containing aspartic acid at positions 55 and 59 had no activity with any substrate and did not anchor lipase to either short- or long-chain triglycerides. These results identify the two tyrosine residues that interact with substrate and suggest that the hydrophobicity of the surface containing these tyrosines influences colipase function and the substrate selectivity of pancreatic triglyceride lipase.

Abstract
Colipase is a cofactor protein which forms a 1:1 complex with pancreatic lipase. This facilitates lipase adsorption to phosphatidylcholine-rich interfaces, presumably as a consequence of the higher affinity of colipase for such interfaces. According to this model, the presence of colipase in an interface should be sufficient to enable lipase adsorption from the aqueous phase. To test this hypothesis, mixed monolayers of colipase, phosphatidylcholine, and fatty acid at the argon-buffer interface were exposed to lipase injected into the stirred aqueous subphase. Spread colipase remained associated with the lipid monolayer in a surface pressure- and lipid composition-dependent manner. For example, with diacylphosphatidylcholine alone, colipase remained in the lipid monolayer at surface pressures </=20 mN/m, but with pure fatty acid this was increased to approximately 40 mN/m. Contrary to the existing paradigm, the presence of colipase in a lipid monolayer was not sufficient to enable the adsorption of lipase to the interface. Fatty acid was also required, and its ability to enhance lipase adsorption over that observed in the absence of colipase was dependent on the fatty acid and colipase mole fractions. These results support the hypothesis that colipase concentrates fatty acids laterally at its periphery and suggest that, together with lipase-colipase interaction, the fatty acid-rich nano-domain surrounding colipase facilitates lipase adsorption in the 'flap-opened' conformation.
