Heterologous expression, purification, and characterization of human triacylglycerol hydrolase.

Abstract:

:Triacylglycerol hydrolase mobilizes stored triacylglycerol some of which is used for very-low-density lipoprotein assembly in the liver. A full-length cDNA coding for a human triacylglycerol hydrolase (hTGH) was isolated from a human liver cDNA library. The cDNA has an open reading frame of 576 amino acids with a cleavable 18-amino-acid signal sequence. The deduced amino acid sequence shows that the protein belongs to the carboxylesterase family. The hTGH was highly expressed in Escherichia coli as a 6xHis-tagged fusion protein, with the tag at the N-terminus in place of the signal peptide. However, the expressed protein was insoluble and inactive. Expression was confirmed by immunoblotting and N-terminal amino acid sequencing of the purified protein. Expression of hTGH with its native signal sequence and a C-terminal 6xHis-tag in Sf9 cells using the baculovirus expression system yielded active enzyme. N-terminal amino acid sequencing of the purified expressed protein showed correct processing of the signal peptide. The enzyme also undergoes glycosylation within the endoplasmic reticulum lumen. The results suggest that hTGH expressed in insect cells is properly folded. Therefore, baculovirus expression of hTGH and facile purification of the His-tagged enzyme will allow detailed characterization of the structure/activity relationship.
