The retinal epithelium plays an important role in the storage and metabolism of retinoids in the eye. Studies were conducted to examine the enzymatic hydrolysis of retinyl esters by human retinal epithelial cells. Homogenates prepared from these cells were found to hydrolyze both the 11-cis- and all-trans-isomers of retinyl palmitate. Retinyl ester hydrolysis was time-, protein-, and pH-dependent. The 11-cis isomer was hydrolyzed at a rate which was approximately 20 times greater than that of the all-trans isomer. The 11-cis-retinyl palmitate hydrolase activity did not require detergents, unlike the all-trans-retinyl palmitate hydrolase activity, which required detergents for activity. The 11-cis-retinyl palmitate hydrolase activity was maximally active with the addition of 1.0% sodium taurocholate at about pH 8.5, was abolished by incubation at 50 degrees C for 10 min, and was quantitatively recovered in the pellet after centrifugation at 100,000 X g for 1 h. The rate of hydrolysis of 11-cis-retinyl palmitate became saturated with increasing concentrations of 11-cis-retinyl palmitate; under the assay conditions employed, the hydrolase activity had an apparent Km of 19 microM toward 11-cis-retinyl palmitate. All-trans-retinol and 11-cis-retinyl did not affect the rate of hydrolysis of 11-cis-retinyl palmitate, and addition of all-trans-retinyl palmitate only weakly inhibited the 11-cis-retinyl palmitate hydrolytic activities. These data indicate that the human retinal epithelium possesses distinct activities for the hydrolysis of 11-cis- and all-trans-retinyl esters and raise the possibility that these activities may provide a means of distinguishing the stereoisomers of retinol in this tissue. << Less

Studies were conducted to explore relationships in rat liver between retinyl palmitate hydrolase activity and the hydrolytic activities against cholesteryl oleate and triolein. Previous studies have shown positive correlations between these three lipid ester hydrolase activities. In order to extend this work, the hydrolase activities were further purified and characterized. The activities against cholesteryl oleate and triolein resembled retinyl palmitate hydrolase activity in showing great variability from rat to rat as assayed in vitro. The relative levels of the three activities were highly correlated with each other over a 50-fold range of activity in a series of 66 liver homogenates. Partial purification (approx. 200-fold) in the absence of detergents was achieved by sequential chromatography of an acetone powder extract of liver on columns of phenyl-Sepharose, DEAE-Sepharose and heparin-Sepharose. The three hydrolase activities copurified during each of these chromatographic steps. The properties of the three copurifying activities were similar with regard to stimulation of activity by trihydroxy bile salts, pH optimum (near 8.0), and observance of Michaelis-Menten-type saturation kinetics. The three activities were different in their sensitivity towards the serine esterase inhibitors diisopropylfluorophosphate and phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride, and in their solubility properties in 10 mM sodium acetate, pH 5.0. Thus, triolein hydrolase activity was much less sensitive than the other two activities to the two inhibitors. In addition, the activity against cholesteryl oleate could be separated from the other two activities by extraction of an acetone powder with acetate buffer, pH 5.0. These results indicate that the three lipid hydrolase activities are due to at least three different catalytically active centers, and at least two distinct and separable enzymes. It is likely that three separate but similar enzymes, that appear to be coordinately regulated, are involved. << Less
