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,
Glu45/Asp89 and
Glu64/Arg65. 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
Glu64/Arg65 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
Glu64/Arg65 binding site.
