Abstract

The effect of human plasma apolipoproteins C-II and C-III on the hydrolytic activity of lipoprotein lipase from bovine milk was determined using dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine (DMPC) vesicles as substrate. In the absence of apoC-II or C-III, lipoprotein lipase has limited phospholipase activity. When the vesicles were preincubated with apoC-II and then phospholipase activity determined, there was a time dependent release of lysolecithin; activity was dependent upon both apoC-II and lipoprotein lipase concentrations. The addition of apoC-III to DMPC did not stimulate phospholipase activity. We conclude that apoC-II has an activator effect on the phospholipase activity of lipoprotein lipase and that the mechanism is beyond that of simply altering the lateral compressibility of the lipid.
