Association of bile-salt-dependent lipase with membranes of human pancreatic microsomes is under the control of ATP and phosphorylation.
Bile-salt-dependent lipase (BSDL) is secreted by the pancreas into the duodenum, where it catalyses the hydrolysis of dietary lipid esters on activation by bile salts. The secretion pathway of BSDL is comparable with that of other digestive enzymes produced by pancreatic acinar cells. However, in contrast with these other enzymes, BSDL is partly associated with endoplasmic reticulum membranes as part of a folding complex, including a Grp94-related protein to which BSDL is transiently linked. The release of BSDL from membranes occurs once its glycosylation is completed [Bruneau and Lombardo (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 13524-13533]. In the present study, investigations concerning the mechanism of association/dissociation of BSDL with membranes of microsomes were performed. For this purpose the role of ATP and that of the possible phosphorylation of BSDL were examined. For the first time, it is shown that human pancreatic BSDL is phosphorylated, probably at a serine residue, during its transport within the acinar cell. The phosphorylation of BSDL is provoked by calphostin C, an inhibitor of protein kinase C. In the presence of 1-(isoquinolinesulphonyl)2-methylpiperazine, a non-specific inhibitor of serine/threonine protein kinase A, C or G, or of calcium chelator 1,2-bis(O-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N', N'-tetra-acetic tetra(acetoxymethyl)ester, the phosphorylation of BSDL elicited by calphostin C is abolished. These data suggested that the phosphorylation of BSDL within human pancreatic microsomes is under the control of a cascade of protein kinases. We have also shown that the phosphorylation of BSDL appears to be involved in the release of the enzyme from microsome membranes. Nevertheless ATP, which modifies the conformation of BSDL, triggers this association, and an unhydrolysable ATP analogue was unable to promote it.
