The cDNA for a peroxisome proliferator-inducible long-chain acyl-CoA hydrolase from rat liver cytosol, referred to as rLACH2, was isolated and its genomic structure was determined. The cDNA encoded a 419-amino-acid polypeptide with a calculated molecular weight of 46,011. Sequence analysis identified an active-site serine motif (Gly-x-Ser-x-Gly) common to carboxylesterases and lipases. When expressed in Escherichia coli, the cDNA directed expression of a protein immunoreactive to an anti-rLACH2 antibody with a molecular mass of 47 kDa, identical to that of purified rLACH2. Northern blot analysis showed marked induction of rLACH2 mRNA in the liver after feeding rats with di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, a peroxisome proliferator. The rLACH2 gene spanned about 19 kb and comprised 3 exons, the intron/exon boundaries of which were consistent with the donor/acceptor splice rule. A putative peroxisome proliferator response element (AGGTCATGGTTCA) was identified in the 5'-flanking region, suggesting the involvement of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors in the regulation of rLACH2 gene expression.
