Lysophospholipase-like protein 1 (LYPLAL1)

The protein contains 237 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 26316 Da.

 

Has depalmitoylating activity toward KCNMA1. Does not exhibit phospholipase nor triacylglycerol lipase activity, able to hydrolyze only short chain substrates due to its shallow active site. (updated: Sept. 12, 2018)

The reference OMIM entry for this protein is 616548

Lysophospholipase-like 1; lyplal1

DESCRIPTION

LYPLAL1 shares similarity with acyl protein thioesterases (APTs; see 605599). However, it does not function as a phospholipase or triacylglycerol lipase, but rather hydrolyzes short-chain substrates (Burger et al., 2012).

GENE FUNCTION

Using an in vitro assay of recombinant human LYPLAL1 expressed in E. coli, Burger et al. (2012) found that LYPLAL1 showed no phospholipase activity. LYPLAL1 hydrolyzed short-chain substrates, such as 4-nitrophenyl acetate.

BIOCHEMICAL FEATURES

Burger et al. (2012) reported the crystal structure of human LYPLAL1 at 1.72-angstrom resolution. The structure revealed a typical alpha/beta hydrolase fold and featured the classical catalytic triad of serine, aspartate, and histidine. However, compared with other APT family members, the typical hydrophobic tunnel was closed in LYPLAL1. In addition, the crystal packing of LYPLAL1 suggested that it functions as a monomer rather than as a dimer, like most APTs.

MAPPING

Hartz (2015) mapped the LYPLAL1 gene to chromosome 1q41 based on an alignment of the LYPLAL1 sequence (GenBank GENBANK BC016711) with the genomic sequence (GRCh38). ... More on the omim web site
