Diacylglycerol lipase, also known as DAG lipase, DAGL, or DGL, is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of diacylglycerol, releasing a free fatty acid and monoacylglycerol:[1]

diacylglycerol + H2O ⇌ monoacylglycerol + free fatty acid

DAGL has been studied in multiple domains of life, including bacteria, fungi, plants, insects, and mammals.[4] By searching with BLAST for the previously sequenced microorganism DAGL,[5] Bisogno et al discovered two distinct mammalian isoforms, designated DAGLα (DAGLA) and DAGLβ (DAGLB).[1] Most animal DAGL enzymes cluster into the DAGLα and DAGLβ isoforms.[4]

Mammalian DAGL is a crucial enzyme in the biosynthesis of 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), the most abundant endocannabinoid in tissues.[1] The endocannabinoid system has been identified to have considerable involvement in the regulation of homeostasis and disease.[6] As a result, much effort has been made toward investigating the mechanisms of action and the therapeutic potential of the system's receptors, endogenous ligands, and enzymes like DAGLα and DAGLβ.[6]

Structure

[edit]

While both DAGLα and DAGLβ are extensively homologous (sharing 34% of their sequence[4]), DAGLα (1042 amino acids) is much larger than DAGLβ (672 amino acids) due to the presence of a sizeable C-terminal tail in the former.[1][7]

Both DAGLα and DAGLβ have a transmembrane domain at the N-terminal that starts with a conserved 19 amino acid cytoplasmic sequence followed by four transmembrane helices.[1][7] These transmembrane helices are connected by three short loops, of which the two extracellular loops may be glycosylated.[7]

The catalytic domain of both isoforms is an α/β hydrolase domain which consists of 8 core β sheets that are mutually hydrogen-bonded and variously linked by α helices, β sheets, and loops.[7] The hydrophobic active site presents a highly conserved Serine-Aspartate-Histidine catalytic triad.[7] The serine and aspartate residues of the active site were first identified in DAGLα as Ser-472 and Asp-524, and in DAGLβ as Ser-443 and Asp-495.[1] The histidine residue was later identified in DAGLα as His-650,[8] which aligns with His-639 in DAGLβ.[1]

Between β strands 7 and 8 is a 50-60 residue regulatory loop that is believed to act as a well-positioned "lid" controlling access to the catalytic site.[7] Numerous phosphorylation sites have been identified on this loop as evidence of its regulatory nature.[7]

Mechanism

[edit]

Diacylglycerol lipase uses a Serine-Aspartate-Histidine catalytic triad to hydrolyze the ester bond of an acyl chain from diacylglycerol (DAG), generating a monoacylglycerol (MAG), and a free fatty acid.[9][10] This hydrolytic cleavage mechanism for DAGLα and DAGLβ is more selective for the sn-1 position of DAG over the sn-2 position.[1]

Initially, histidine deprotonates serine forming a strong nucleophilic alkoxide, which attacks the carbonyl of the acyl group at the sn-1 position of DAG.[1] A tetrahedral intermediate briefly forms before the instability of the oxyanion collapses the tetrahedral intermediate to re-form the double bond while cleaving the ester bond.[11] The monoacylglycerol product, which in this case is 2-arachidonoylglycerol, is released leaving behind an acyl-enzyme intermediate.[11]

An incoming water molecule is deprotonated, and the hydroxide ion attacks the ester linkage generating a second tetrahedral intermediate.[12] The instability of the negative charge once again collapses the tetrahedral intermediate, this time displacing the serine.[12] The second product (a fatty acid) is released from the catalytic site.

Biological function

[edit]

DAGLα and DAGLβ have been identified as the enzymes predominantly responsible for the biosynthesis of the endogenous signaling lipid, 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG).[1][14] 2-AG is the most abundant endocannabinoid found in tissues[1] and activates the CB1 and CB2 G-protein-coupled receptors.[6] Endocannabinoid signaling via these receptors is involved in core body temperature control, inflammation, appetite promotion, memory formation, mood and anxiety regulation, pain relief, addiction reward, neuron protection, and more.[10][15]

Studies utilizing DAGL α or β knockout mice show that these enzymes regulate 2-AG production in a tissue-dependent manner.[14][15] DAGLα is prevalent in central nervous tissues where it is primarily responsible for the on-demand production[16] of 2-AG, which is involved in retrograde synaptic suppression, regulation of axonal growth, adult neurogenesis, and neuroinflammation.[14][15][16]

DAGLβ has enriched activity in innate immune cells such as macrophages and microglia enabling regulation of 2-AG and downstream metabolic products (e.g. prostaglandins) important for proinflammatory signaling in neuroinflammation and pain.[17][18][19][20]

Disease relevance

[edit]

Diacylglycerol lipase has been identified as a tunable target in the endocannabinoid system.[6] It has been the subject of extensive preclinical research, and many propose that disease states, including inflammatory disease, neurodegeneration, pain, and metabolic disorders may benefit from drug discovery.[6] However currently, the conversion of these preclinical findings into viable approved therapeutics for disease remains elusive.[6]

Inhibiting DAGLα in the gastrointestinal tract has been shown to reduce constipation in mice through a CB1-dependent pathway.[10]

DAGLα inhibition in mice has also been shown to reduce neuroinflammatory response due to the reduction of overall 2-AG, a precursor to the synthesis of proinflammatory prostaglandins. Therefore DAGLα inhibition has been identified as an approach to treating neurodegenerative diseases.[10] Indeed, rat models of Huntington's disease show the neuroprotective nature of DAGLα inhibition.[21]

DAGLα inhibition in mice produced weight loss through a reduction in food intake. Moreover, DAGLα knockout mice have low fasting insulin, triglycerides, and total cholesterol.[10] Thus, DAGLα inhibition may be a novel therapy for treating obesity and metabolic syndrome.[22]

However, DAGLα inhibition has also been associated reduction in neuroplasticity, increased anxiety and depression, seizures, and other neuropsychiatric side effects due to drastic alteration of brain lipids.[16][22]

In vivo experiments show that selectively inhibiting DAGLβ has the potential to be a powerful anti-inflammatory therapy by suppressing the production of the proinflammatory molecules arachidonic acid, prostaglandins, tumor necrosis factor α in macrophages and dendritic cells.[17][18][19] As a consequence, DAGLβ inhibition has been identified as a potential therapy for pathological pain that does not impair immunity.[10][18]
