Improved Stability of Human CGI-58 Induced by Phosphomimetic S237E Mutation.

ABSTRACT: In lipolysis, the activating function of CGI-58 is regulated by its interaction with perilipin 1 (PLIN1) localized on the lipid droplet (LD), and its release is controlled by phosphorylation. Once lipolysis is stimulated by catecholamines, protein kinase A (PKA)-mediated phosphorylation enables the dissociation of the CGI-58/PLIN1 complex, thereby recruiting adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) and hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) to initiate fatty acid release. It has been shown that mouse CGI-58 mutant S239E, which mimics the phosphorylation of this residue, is able to dissociate from the CGI-58/PLIN1 complex and activate ATGL. Here, we analyze the stabilizing effect on human CGI-58 of a triple tryptophan to alanine mutant (3WA) on the LD-binding motif, as well as a quadruple mutant in which
