Binding to heparan sulfate governs many aspects of the physiological action and regulation of the lipolytic enzyme, lipoprotein lipase (LPL). In an attempt to identify the structural determinants which mediate this interaction, basic residues in three segments of the primary sequence of human LPL (residues 147-151, 279-282, and 292-304) were replaced with alanine, either singly or in various combinations, and variant proteins were subjected to affinity chromatography on heparin-Superose. Five basic residues in two distinct segments of the primary sequence were critical determinants of the high affinity for heparin manifested by the active enzyme (R279, K280, R282, K296, R297). By contrast, no such evidence could be detected for basic residues in the first cluster (K147, K148) or for other basic residues in the third cluster (K292, R294, K304), while the evidence for K300 was unresolved. The conformation of this heparin-binding domain can be inferred by reference to the three-dimensional structure of the homologous enzyme, pancreatic lipase (Winkler, F. K., D'Arcy, A., and Hunziker, W. (1990) Nature 343, 771-774). Affinity of the active enzyme for heparin could not be reduced below a threshold, suggesting that other heparin-binding determinants exist elsewhere in the molecule, as supported by recently published evidence (Davis, R. C., Wong, H., Nikazy, J., Wang, K., Han, Q., and Schotz, M. C. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 21499-21504).
