  • Hormone-sensitive lipase is structurally related to acetylcholinesterase, bilesalt-stimulated lipase, and several fungal lipases. Building of a three-dimensional model for the catalytic domain of hormone-sensitive lipase
    Contreras, Juan Antonio ...
    Hormone-sensitive lipase is the key enzyme in the mobilization of fatty acids from adipose tissue, thereby playing a crucial role in the overall energy homeostasis in mammals. Its activity is ... stimulated by catecholamines through cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of a single serine, a process that is preventedby insulin. This regulatory property is unique to this enzyme among all known lipases and has been acquired during evolution through insertion of a regulatory module into an ancestral lipase. Sequence alignments have failed to detect significant homology between hormone-sensitive lipase and the rest of the mammalian lipases and esterases, to which this enzyme is only very distantly related. In the present work, we report the finding of a remarkable secondary structure homology between hormone-sensitive lipase and the enzymes from a superfamily of esterases and lipases that includes acetylcholinesterase, bile salt-stimulated lipase, and several fungal lipases.This finding, based on the identification of the secondary structure elements in the hormone-sensitive lipase sequence, has allowed us to constructa three-dimensional model for the catalytic domain of hormone-sensitive lipase. The model reveals the topological organization, predicts the components of the catalytic triad, suggests a three-dimensional localization of the regulatory module, and provides a valuable tool for the future study of structural and functional aspects of this metabolically important enzyme.
