Negative charge at amino acid 149 is the molecular determinant for substrate specificity of lecithin: cholesterol acyltransferase for phosphatidylcholine containing 20-carbon sn-2 fatty acyl chains.

We previously described a point mutation in human LCAT (E to A at residue 149; hE149A) that demonstrated greater activity with phosphatidylcholine (PC) substrate containing 20:4 in the sn-2 position compared with the wild-type enzyme [hLCAT; Wang et al. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 280-286], resulti ... >> More
We previously described a point mutation in human LCAT (E to A at residue 149; hE149A) that demonstrated greater activity with phosphatidylcholine (PC) substrate containing 20:4 in the sn-2 position compared with the wild-type enzyme [hLCAT; Wang et al. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 280-286], resulting in a human enzyme with the substrate specificity similar to that of rat LCAT. The purpose of the present study was to explore the molecular basis for the role of amino acid 149 in determining fatty acyl substrate specificity. In the first experiment, the reverse mutation in rat LCAT (rA149E) converted substrate specificity of rat LCAT toward that of the human enzyme, demonstrating that the mutation was context independent and reversible. In the second experiment, we found that hE149A compared with hLCAT demonstrated higher activity with PC species containing 20-carbon, but not 18-carbon, sn-2 fatty acyl chains. The increased activity of hE149A was due to an increase in apparent V(max) but not to apparent K(m) or LCAT binding to the PC surface. Substitution of different amino acids in the 149 position of hLCAT showed that activation of the enzyme with sn-2 20:4 containing PC substrate was only observed when the negative charge at residue 149 was removed. We conclude that the negative charge at amino acid 149 of LCAT is a critical determinant for the specificity of the enzyme for PC containing 18- vs 20-carbon sn-2 fatty acyl chains. << Less
