Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a crucial enzyme in lipid metabolism and transport, and its enzymatic deficiency causes metabolic disorders, such as hypertriglyceridemia. LPL has one predicted C-mannosylation site at Trp. In this study, we demonstrated that LPL is C-mannosylated at Trp by mass spectrometry. Furthermore, by using wild-type and a C-mannosylation-defective mutant of LPL-overexpressing cell lines, we revealed that both secretion efficiency and enzymatic activity of C-mannosylation-defective mutant LPL were lower than those of wild-type. These data suggest the importance of C-mannosylation for LPL functions.
脂蛋白脂肪酶(LPL)是脂质代谢和转运中的一种关键酶,其酶缺乏会导致代谢紊乱,如高甘油三酯血症。LPL在色氨酸处有一个预测的C-甘露糖基化位点。在本研究中,我们通过质谱证明LPL在色氨酸处发生了C-甘露糖基化。此外,通过使用野生型和过表达LPL的C-甘露糖基化缺陷突变体细胞系,我们发现C-甘露糖基化缺陷突变体LPL的分泌效率和酶活性均低于野生型。这些数据表明C-甘露糖基化对LPL功能的重要性。
