Effects of Reconstitution of Membrane-Bound Lipoprotein Lipase and Dispersity of Substrate on Its Reaction Characteristics

Reaction characteristics of a membrane-bound lipoprotein lipase acting on a hydrophobic substrate were investigated in aggregated structures-lipid bilayers of liposomes and mixed micelles of Triton X-100. The enzyme activity was enhanced with increases in Triton X-100 and phospholipid concentrations in micellar and liposomal structures. This higher activity was found to be due to both the solubilization state of the hydrophobic substrate and the hydrophobic interactions of the enzyme with either phospholipid or Triton X-100 molecules as a result of its incorporation into the aggregated systems. The enzyme reconstituted into lipid bilayers of liposomes prepared from 15 mM DMPC in the presence of 0.05% Triton X-100 showed a further 1.5-fold higher activity in comparison with the activity without reconstitution in micelles of 1.0% Triton X-100. These results indicate the necessity of the bilayer structure to retain the membrane-bound enzyme in an active conformation.
