ON PAPAIN LIPASE.

BY MARTA S9SDBERG AND ERWIN BRAND.

(From the Division of Luboratories, MonteJore IIospitaZ, New York.)

(Received for publication, March IS, 1925.)

It is well known that during germination of oil seeds an altera- tion of their lipase occurs. Contrary to older views, especially those of Connstein, IIoycr, and Wartenberg (l), the following explanation for this phenomenon is offered by Willstatter and Waldschmidt-Leitz (21, pp. 163, 207; 23, p. 145). In the resting seed the lipase exists as “spermatolipasc” (seed lipase) and is abso- lutely inactive in a neutral medium (pH 6.8). Germination sets in with the hydrolysis of the seminal proteins. As soon as this has attained a certain degree, the seminal enzymes of the peptic group begin to act on the lipasc. Through the action of these enzymes the spermatolipase is changed into another lipase, the “blastolipase” (germ lipase). This blastolipase possesses the ability, in contrast to the spermatolipasc, to split fats also in a neutral medium. Only now can mobilization of the fat reserves be started by the blastolipase. It is noteworthy that this char- acteristic proteolysis of the spermatolipase to blastolipase during germination is produced by the enzymes of the peptic group, but not by tryptic ferments (23, p. 146; 21, p. 209).

But the effect of papain, as well as of papain activated by HCN, on spermatolipase has not been studied from this point of view. This investigation would be of particular interest, because Willstiitter and Grassmann, in their noteworthy communication, were able to show that papain alone and papain activated by HCN behave like two specific enzymes from different proteolytic groups. Papain alone acts like pepsin, while “papain cyanhydrin” has a tryptic action; i.e., peptone-forming as well as peptone-splitting (13, pp. 186, 205).

Papain Lipase

ing is known of the presence of a lipase in crude papain. It is true that Gerber (.i, 6) has found lipases in the latex of several plants, but he did not investigate the latex of Calica papaya, the source of papain. Pratt (9, p. 31) refers to the possible existence of a lipase in papaya latex, but was not able to establish definitely its presence.

We found in crude papain a lipase of considerable activity. The properties of this papain lipase are briefly given.

Papain lipase splits both higher glycerides and lower esters. It is insoluble in water and has its optimum activity at 35-40°C. at a ~1% of 5.S to 6.2 in acetate buffer. As to the kinetics, the law of Schiitz is followed to a certain extent. HCN and bile salts have no effect at all on the activity of the lipase. Calcium chlor- ide, however, accelerates it in an alkaline medium (changing pH).

Papain lipase differs from castor lipase in its pH optimum and its susceptibility to activation by calcium chloride (21, pp. 163, 167, 171). Rut is this difference in itself sufficient reason to assumn two specific lipsses? To answer this question we have to consider the recent development of views on the specificity of animal lipases. I,oevcnhart (8) was the first to find that the most esscnt’ial difference betwen the lipases of the liver and the pan- creas consists in their greatly differing “quantitative specificity” (15, p. 23; 17, p. 231) for substrates of different constitution. These results of Locvcnhnrt were recently reinvestigated and their theoretical foundation (15) was broadened by Willst%tter and his coworkers. Willst~itter was able to improve thr, accuracy of Locvenhart’s estimations by the comparative use of crude and purifiod lipase prepnrst,ions and by eliminating the possibility of the influence of accompanying bodies by having the enzyme act under conditions that arc made comparable by the addition of activators or of inhibiting substances (19, p. 231; 22, p. 210; 23, p. 146). But even a con&lerable difference in the quantitative specificity of tlvo lipnses, while suggestive, does not in itself suffice to prove finally their dissimilarity. Stereochemical specificity, however, seems really to constitute a property of the enzyme and to be independent of accompanying bodies (2; 3; 14, p. 206; 18; 19, p. 221). As such exact and comparable estimations have not yet been carried out for castor and papain lipase, the difference in their pII optimum and in their susceptibility to activation does not

per se sufice to decide whether or not they are really two different enzymes, for Willstattcr, in his work with animal lipases, found that the dependence of lipolysis on hydrogen ion concentration, as it is experimentally found, is deceptive and is caused by other more complex phenomena (22, p. 97). Accompanying bodies influence the lipase in its relation to hydrogen ion concentration, to adsorption, activation, inhibition and poisoning, stability, optimum of temperature, and heat destruction (14, p. 205).

A lipase preparation obtained directly from papaya latex might be mom suitabIe for investigating the relative specificity of castor and papain lipnse.

EXPERIMEKTAL.

1. Estinaation of the Lipolytic Action.

In estimating the lipolysis, an olive oil of the saponification number 183 was usually employed as substrate.? The detcrmina- tions were done in accord with Willstatter in the following manner (22, pp. 103, 111; 21, p. 177).

The papain preparation which is to be determined is weighed into a srnall wide mouthed bottle of a capacity of about 30 cc. with well ground stopper, then the desired amount of water or buffer solution is added,3 and the mixture shaken for a short time, till the greater part of the papain has gone into solution. Now 2.5 grn. of olive oil arc added, the mixture is shaken by hand strongly and evenly for 3 minuDes (22 pp. 104, 112; 21, p. 166) and left in the thermostat at the desired temperature for the remaining time of the estimation. After the reaction has gone on for a given time, it is stopped by bringing the saponification mixture into an Erlenmeycr flask with the help of about ten times the amount of 96 per cent alcohol (distilled over ROH) and 20 cc. of ether. Then the fatty acid which has been formed is estimated, using I .5 drops of a 1 per cent alcoholic solution of thymolphthalein as indicator (22, p. 105), by titration with 0.5 N alcoholic IiOH (alcohol content DO per cent), till a distinctly blue color appears.

* ~&thy1 butyratc according to Willstiitter (17, p. 236): volume 20 cc.; 5 cc. of N acetate buffer (pII S.8), 0.2 gm. of methyl butyrate, 100 mg. of papain (LVallerstein), 60 min., 30°C. = 0.1 per cent cleavage.

3 The lipase being insoluble in water, it is necessary to add the water or buffer solution before adding the olive oil. Otherwise the papain would envelop the lipasc in the saponification mixture, thus preventing its action.

62 Papain Lipase

The buffer as well as the amphoteric substances of the papain preparation themselves use up some KOH when in alcoholic solu- tion (12; 20; 22, p. 105; 21, p. 177). Therefore, suitable controls are run with each experiment and this amount of KOH is deducted.

The percentage of cleavage is estimated from the saponifica- tion number of the olive oil in the following manner.

100 mg. of papain (Wallerstein) (Table III) reacted with 2.5 gm. of olive oil for 60 minutes at 30°C. in the presence of 4 cc. of 0.25 x acetate buffer (pH 6.0). The amount of alkali used to neutra- lize the fatty acid after that time was 2.5 cc. of 0.5 N KOH for the experiment and 0.75 cc. of 0.5 N KOH for the control. From the difference of 1.75 cc. of 0.5 s KOII, the saponification is estimated as follows:

1.75 x 56.11 x 100 ~ - = 10.7 2 x 2.5 x 183 per cent

9. Papain Lipase and Hydrogen Ion Concentration.

We find that the most favorable conditions for the action of the papain lipase are offered in a pH range from about 5.8 to 6.2, if acetate buffer of a normality of 0.1 to 0.5 is used. Phosphat’e buffers are less satisfactory, and the smallest amount of cleavage is found with citrate buffers, which coincides with Willstatter’s findings with castor lipase (21, p. 170).

3. Lipolytic Action of Dij’erent Papain Prepamtions.

We find that in different commercial preparations of papain the content of lipasc present varies very much. The highest content of lipase is shown by a preparation which we owe to the kindness of Mr. L. Wallerstein; a preparation from Parke, Davis and Company gave the next best results.

l+. Lipolytic Action and Temperature.

Papain lipase has its temperature optimum at about 35-4O”C. At higher temperatures, however, and when the experiments are continued for a longer time, in addition to the injurious influence of the temperature, destruction by the proteolytic enzyme must be taken into consideration.

5. Influence of Activators.

When investigating animal lipases, WillstSitter, Waldschmidt- Leitz, and Memmen (22, p. 99) studied the influence of the com- bined action of several activators” (complex or coupled adsorbents) in acid and alkaline media. We found that addition of ovalbumin, HCN, or bile salts has no influence on the lipolytic action of papain lipase, either in an acid or an alkaline medium. Glycerol, how-

ever, inhibits in acid and neutral media, but activates at an alka- line pH. CaClz activates distinctly at an alkaline reaction. Rut this activation of papain lipase is diminished by ovalbumin, quite in contrast to Willstlitter’s findings with pancreatic lipase (22, p. 109). This effect of CaC12 and ovalbumin can also be seen with a more purified preparation (Table XII).

WillstMer states in his work on castor lipasc that plant lipase

is not susceptible to activation (21, p. 163). He also finds, that an activation of castor lipase by manganese salts, which has been described by Hoyer (7), Tanaka (lo), and Falk and Hamlin (4), does not occur under optimal conditions (21, p. 171).

6. Kinetics of the Lipolytic Action.

The lipolytic saponification follows to a certain extent the law of Schiitz (Tables VI to XI). The discrepancies that arise upon activation with CaClz in an alkaline medium (changing pH) warrant further investigation (Tables VIII, IX, and X).

We have postponed the introduction of a special papain lipase unit (as was done by Willst%ter for various other lipases (16, p. 23; 17, p. 237; 22, p. 115; 21, p. 178)) till a lipase has been prepared directly from the latex.

7. Stability of the Lipase.

The lipase is relatively stable against the action of the proteoly- tic enzyme. 100 mg. of papain (Wallerstein) were first treated with: (a) 2 cc. of Hz0 for 16 hours at 20°C.; (b) 2 cc. of Hz0 for 16 hours at 37°C.; (c) 2 cc. of Hz0 for 48 hours at 37’C.; (d) 10 mg. of HCN for 16 hours at 20°C.; (e) 10 mg. of HCN for 16 hours at 37°C.; and {fl 10 mg. of HCN for 48 hours at 37°C.

The amount of cleavage of 2.5 gm. of olive oil (acetate buffer, pH 6.0, 60 minutes, 30°C.) was: (a) 9.0 per cent, (b) 7.1 per cent, (c) 3.2 per cent, (d) 8.0 per cent, (e) 6.1 per cent, and (f) 1.0 per cent.

8. Pzrrification of the Lipase.

5 gm. of papain (Parke, Davis and Company) were extracted twice for 10 minute periods with 50 cc. of H20 at 25”C., centri- fuged, and the supernatant clear fluid was decanted. The amount

Papain I,ipase

SUMMARY.

Crude papain contains a lipasc of considerable activity. Papain lipase is insoluble in water and has its optimum effect at

3540°C. at a pH 5.8 to 6.2 in acetate buffer. Papain lipase follows the law of Schtitz to a certain extent. CaClz activates papain lipase in an alkaline medium (changing

PHI. Papain lipase differs from castor lipase in its pH optimum and its

possible activation by CaCL in an alkaline medium (changing PHI.

Purification is possible by removing the papain with water.
