Prediction of lipase-specific foldase-dependence in bacterial lipase subfamilies I.1 and I.2 [PDF]
BMC GenomicsBackground Most bacterial lipases in subfamily I.1/I.2 depend on a specific chaperone protein, lipase-specific foldase (Lif), for folding into their active form. In contrast, several Lif-independent lipases have been reported in subfamily I.1.

Bacillus subtilis Lipase A—Lipase or Esterase? [PDF]
Catalysts, 2020 The question of how to distinguish between lipases and esterases is about as old as the definition of the subclassification is. Many different criteria have been proposed to this end, all indicative but not decisive. Here, the activity of lipases in dry organic solvents as a criterion is probed on a minimal α/β hydrolase fold enzyme, the Bacillus ...

Genome-Wide Identification and Analysis of Lipases in Fig Wasps (Chalcidoidea, Hymenoptera)
Insects, 2022 Lipases are the main enzymes involved in lipid metabolism. However, the characteristics of lipases in insects were scarcely investigated. Here, we screened the recently sequenced genomes of 12 fig wasp species consisting of seven pollinator fig wasps ...

FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 1994 Many different bacterial species produce lipases which hydrolyze esters of glycerol with preferably long-chain fatty acids. They act at the interface generated by a hydrophobic lipid substrate in a hydrophilic aqueous medium. A characteristic property of lipases is called interfacial activation, meaning a sharp increase in lipase activity observed when

Biochemical and structural comparative study between bird and mammal pancreatic colipases
Journal of Lipid Research, 2006 Three colipases were purified from pancreas of two birds (ostrich and turkey) and one mammal (dromedary). After acidic and/or heat treatment and precipitation by sulfate ammonium and then ethanol, cofactors were purified by Sephadex G-50 gel filtration ...

Lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase [PDF]
Journal of Lipid Research, 2003 HDL subspecies Lp(A-I) and Lp(A-I,A-II) have different anti-atherogenic potentials. To determine the role of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hepatic lipase (HL) in regulating these particles, we measured these enzyme activities in 28 healthy subjects with well-controlled Type 1 diabetes, and studied their relationship with Lp(A-I) and Lp(A-I,A-II).
