The lipid-binding domain of pancreatic phospholipases A2 contains a number of exposed, hydrophobic amino acid side chains that are involved in the binding of the enzyme to organized lipid-water interfaces. Besides these apolar residues, at least two positively charged lysine groups are present in positions 10 and 116 of the lipid-binding domain. In order to investigate the possible function of these basic side chains in the lipid-binding process, a number of specifically acylated enzyme mutants were prepared, and their kinetic and lipid-binding properties have been compared with those of the native enzymes. It is concluded that the attachment of a long-chain acyl group in an amide linkage to Lys10 or Lys116 phospholipase A2 has only a minor influence on the catalytic properties of the enzyme. On the other hand, the lipid-binding properties of the mutant enzymes appear to be considerably reinforced.
胰腺磷脂酶A2的脂质结合结构域包含许多暴露的疏水氨基酸侧链,这些侧链参与酶与有序脂质-水界面的结合。除了这些非极性残基外,脂质结合结构域的第10位和第116位至少存在两个带正电荷的赖氨酸基团。为了研究这些碱性侧链在脂质结合过程中可能的功能,制备了一些特定酰化的酶突变体,并将它们的动力学和脂质结合特性与天然酶进行了比较。得出的结论是,长链酰基以酰胺键连接到磷脂酶A2的Lys10或Lys116上,对酶的催化特性只有轻微影响。另一方面,突变酶的脂质结合特性似乎得到了显著增强。
