SMLTZR, MRK. HRT, D JOH J. IDOLO* Department of Pathology and Microbiology, College of Veterinary Medicine, Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas 6656 Received 23 March 1992/ccepted 2 June 1992 We report the development of a specific spectrophotometric assay for the quantitative determination of lipase activity in Staphylococcus aureus. The assay is based on the rate of clearance of a tributyrin emulsion, and it can detect as little as 1.,ug of purified Pseudomonas lipase per ml. By comparison with the reaction rates obtained with Pseudomonas lipase, we calculated that S. aureus PS54C and S6C produce approximately 15 and 6,ug of extracellular lipase per ml, respectively. either PS54, which is lysogenized with the converting bacteriophage L54a and is consequently lipase negative (Lip-), nor KS195, a Lip- transpositional mutant of strain S6C, was positive in our spectrophotometric assay. The specificity of the spectrophotometric tributyrin assay was confirmed with a triolein plate assay; supernatants from S6C and PS54C hydrolyzed triolein, while supernatants from PS54 and KS195 did not. In contrast to the results of the spectrophotometric tributyrin assay, all enzyme preparations tested (including commercially purified esterase) were positive when examined by a tributyrin plate assay. The lack of specificity in the tributyrin plate assay emphasizes the need to interpret the results of tributyrin lipolysis kinetically for assessing lipase activity in S. aureus. Staphylococcus aureus produces a wide variety of extracellular proteins (9), several of which are lipolytic (1, 21, 25). true lipase (glycerol ester hydrolase; C ) is the primary lipolytic enzyme (1, 3); however, S. aureus produces several other exoproteins that exhibit lesser degrees of lipolytic activity (3, 14, 21). Most notable among the other lipolytic enzymes is an esterase that can be distinguished from lipase by its activity on water-soluble substrates (21, 25) İnterest in the lipolytic enzymes of S. aureus stems from the correlation between lipolytic activity and pathogenesis (3). lthough its precise role in disease is poorly understood, lipase appears to contribute to the localization of infection, with lipase-positive (Lip') strains being more common among isolates from deep infections and lipase-negative (Lip-) strains being more common among isolates from superficial infections (8, 17). Staphylococcal lipase also affects immune function. For example, Rollof et al. (15) demonstrated that 12,ug of purified staphylococcal lipase per ml eliminates granulocyte chemotaxis and drastically reduces phagocytic killing. Using transpositional mutagenesis, we identified a region of the staphylococcal chromosome that is distinct from the lipase structural gene (geh) but is required for the production of extracellular lipase (24). To characterize the regulatory effects of this region, a quantitative assay for lipase activity was needed, particularly in light of the additional lipolytic enzymes present in the extracellular milieu of S. aureus. Because molecular characterization of the regulatory region required the examination of large numbers of clones, it was also important that the assay be amenable to the screening of large numbers of samples. The enzymology of lipolytic enzymes is complicated by a variety of factors, most notably the difficulties associated with measuring the activity of a water-soluble enzyme on an insoluble substrate (4). s a result, quantitative lipase assays * Corresponding author. are generally complicated procedures, requiring specialized instrumentation (4, 2). The most widely used technique involves the determination of fatty acid release from triglycerides by titration in hot ethanol to a phenolphthalein endpoint (4). modification of this method employs a ph-stat to measure fatty acid hydrolysis (4, 22). lthough the modified assay is relatively simple and has been used to quantify lipase activity in S. aureus (22), it requires the use of a complicated instrument not readily available in many laboratories. In this communication, we describe a simple spectrophotometric tributyrin assay for the quantitative determination of lipase activity in the culture supernatant of S. aureus. MTRUILS D MTHODS The strains of S. aureus used in this study were as follows: S6C, a hyperproducer of several extracellular proteins including lipase (7); KSI95, a derivative of S6C which carries a TnS51 chromosomal insertion that inactivates a locus required for expression of the lipase structural gene (geh) (24); PS54, which is lysogenized with the converting bacteriophage L54a and is consequently Lip-; and PS54C, which has been cured of L54a and is Lip' (11, 12). L54a-mediated lysogenic conversion occurs because the att site for L54a lies within the lipase structural gene (geh) (11, 12); hence, lysogenization with L54a does not affect the expression of lipolytic enzymes other than lipase. For that reason, PS54 and PS54C were used as negative and positive controls, respectively. S6C, PS54, and PS54C were grown in tryptic soy broth. KSI95, which carries a Tn551-encoded erythromycin resistance determinant (23), was grown in tryptic soy broth containing 15 jig of erythromycin per ml. Lipase activity in cell-free culture supematants was measured. Because lipase activity is highest during post-exponential-phase growth (2, 13), supernatants from stationary-phase cultures were used for all comparative assays. Incubations were at 37 C, with constant rotary aeration. eration was used to maximize Downloaded from on May 12, 218 by guest 2815

Supernatants were prepared for analysis by centrifugation and filtration with.45-,um-poresize nylon filters. Supernatants were either assayed immediately or stored frozen at -2 C. For agarose plate assays, supernatants were standardized by being diluted with fresh tryptic soy broth to the optical density of the least dense culture. The specificity of the spectrophotometric assay was examined with esterase purified from porcine liver (ST) (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, Mo.), lipase purified from Pseudomonas spp. (PsL) (Sigma), and lipase purified from porcine pancreas (PcL) (Worthington Biochemical Corp., Freehold,.J.). Commercial enzymes were diluted to a final concentration of.5 U/pl in 5 mm Tris (ph 8.)-7.5 mm CaCl2. Unit definitions for purified enzymes were as follows: for ST, the amount required to hydrolyze 1.,umol of ethyl butyrate to butyric acid and ethanol per min at ph 8. at 25 C; for PsL, the amount required to produce 1.,umol of glycerol from a triglyceride per min at ph 7. at 37 C; and for PcL, the amount required to release 1.,umol of fatty acid from emulsified olive oil per min at ph 8. at 25 C. To compensate for differences in unit definitions, both equal activities (.5 U) and equal amounts (1,ug) of each purified enzyme were used for comparative assays. Tributyrin (astman Kodak Co., Rochester,.Y.) and triolein (Sigma) were used as substrates..5% suspension of each triglyceride in 1 mm Tris (ph 8.)-25 mm CaCl2 was prepared. The suspensions were emulsified by sonication (4 W for 3 min). mulsions were stabilized by adding an equal volume of 2.% standard agarose (plate assays) or.8% low-gelling-temperature agarose (spectrophotometric assays). Spectrophotometric assays were initiated by adding 1. ml of the prewarmed (5 C) tributyrin emulsion to 1,ul of test solution dispensed into spectrophotometric cuvettes. The reaction was monitored at room temperature (21 to 23 C) by measuring the optical density of the emulsion at 45 nm. Plate assays were done by adding standard amounts of each test solution to wells cut into the appropriate triglyceride agar. Plate assays were incubated at room temperature and evaluated by measuring zones of clearance (tributyrin) or precipitation (triolein). RSULTS PsL caused a gradual clearing of the tributyrin emulsion that could be monitored spectrophotometrically at 45 nm (Fig. 1). The initial decrease in absorbance was a linear function of time at a tributyrin concentration of 2.13 mm (.125%). t higher concentrations, a lag phase was observed, during which the reaction rate was not directly reflected by the decrease in optical density (Fig. 1). The duration of the lag phase increased with increasing substrate concentration. However, at tributyrin concentrations of up to 8.5 mm, a linear reaction rate (decrease in absorbance versus time) was observed as the optical density of the emulsion decreased from 1. to.3 (Fig. 1B). t substrate concentrations above 8.5 mm, the time required to clear the emulsion to an optical density within that range was impractical (Fig. 1). The initial lag phase was eliminated when PsL was assayed with 2.13 mm tributyrin as the substrate (Fig. 2). lthough the initial reaction rate was linear over a relatively wide range of PsL concentrations (Fig. 2B), culture supernatants from S. aureus S6C cleared a 2.13 mm tributyrin emulsion almost immediately (data not shown). ddition &so c 1.25 a, 1.

On the basis of these factors, we used 8.5 mm tributyrin for all subsequent studies. lthough PsL concentrations below 5.7,ug/ml (.25 U/ml) exhibited a lag phase when assayed with 8.5 mm tributyrin (Fig. 3), the linear correlation between reaction rate and enzyme concentration was evident when reaction rates were determined according to the parameters outlined above (Fig. 3B). When equal activities (.5 U) of enzyme were used, neither PcL nor ST yielded reaction rates comparable to those observed with PsL (Table 1). ST was active when equal quantities (1,ug) were compared; however, the reaction rate observed with ST was only 25% of that observed with PsL despite the fact that the ST preparation contained more than five times as many units per milligram as the PsL preparation (Table 1). o activity was observed when PcL was examined by using the spectrophotometric tributyrin assay (Table 1). This lack of reactivity presumably arises from the positional specificity of PcL, which does not hydrolyze secondary esters (4). However, all enzyme preparations tested, including PcL, were positive when.5 U was assayed with tributyrin plates (Fig. 4).

The results obtained when S. aureus culture supernatants were examined by using the spectrophotometric tributyrin assay support that conclusion. s shown in Fig. 5, only culture supernatants from S6C and PS54C were positive in the spectrophotometric assay. Since L54a-mediated lysogenic conversion is lipase specific (11, 12), the failure of PS54 to clear the tributyrin emulsion supports the conclusion that other lipolytic enzymes expressed by S. aureus do not contribute to clearing under the assay conditions described here. The specificity of the spectrophotometric tributyrin assay was confirmed by using triolein plates: as shown in Fig. 4B, only PS54C and S6C yielded positive results when examined by the triolein plate assay. In contrast, all S. aureus strains yielded various degrees of clearing around the wells of a tributyrin plate (Fig. 4). The lack of specificity observed with the tributyrin plate assay emphasizes the need to interpret tributyrin assays kinetically for assessing S. aureus lipase production. Finally, we used the spectrophotometric tributyrin assay to quantitate lipase activity in culture supernatants from all Lip' S. aureus strains.

DISCUSSIO Lipase is an important lipolytic enzyme of S. aureus that contributes significantly to the pathogenesis of staphylococcal infection (4). The fact that isolates from deep infections are generally Lip' suggests that lipase plays an important role in tissue invasion (8, 17).

The most commonly used assays utilize agar plates containing either an egg yolk emulsion or Tween 8 (3, 19). While egg yolk agar provides a convenient method for screening colonies (11), reactions on egg yolk agar are not lipase specific (3, 6). Similarly, the ability to split Tween compounds is not directly correlated with lipase activity (19). We developed the spectrophotometric tributyrin assay described here as part of a study aimed at characterizing a transpositional mutant of S. aureus S6C which exhibits little or no lipolytic activity despite the presence of an intact geh structural gene (24). turbidimetric assay based on the clearance of a lipid emulsion has been described elsewhere (16); however, the assay is not quantitative and, in our experience, is relatively insensitive (data not shown). Since \ ~.4\ Minutes FIG. 5. Reactivities of culture supernatants from S. aureus PS54 (Cl), PS54C (), S6C (), and KS195 (K) in the spectrophotometric tributyrin assay. complementation of regulatory mutations in S. aureus does not always lead to restoration of 1% activity (1), it was important that the assay used for characterization of this mutant be both sensitive and quantitative. Tributyrin was chosen as a substrate because it is inexpensive and yields water-soluble products upon hydrolysis. Staphylococcal lipase exhibits little or no positional specificity (18). s a result, tributyrin emulsions clear relatively quickly in the presence of staphylococcal lipase. However, tributyrin is not a lipase-specific substrate (4), and there are reports in the literature suggesting that the use of tributyrin leads to false-positive reactions in studies of lipase expression among the staphylococci (6). These false-positive reactions occur because S. aureus also produces an esterase (21); however, as shown in this report, esterase activity does not contribute to the hydrolysis of tributyrin under the spectrophotometric assay conditions described here. Tributyrinase activity has also been associated with staphylococcal coagulase (5). Both of the Lip- strains used in this study (KSI95 and PS54) produce coagulase in amounts similar to those of their respective parent strains (S6C and PS54C) (data not shown). Hence, the failure of KSI95 and PS54 to yield positive results provides additional evidence that lipolytic enzymes other than lipase present in the extracellular environment of S. aureus do not contribute to tributyrin hydrolysis under the spectrophotometric assay conditions described here. It is important, however, that positive reactions were observed with all S. aureus strains when lipase activity was determined by using the tributyrin plate assay. In contrast, only those strains that were positive in the spectrophotometric tributyrin assay were capable of reducing triolein. Triolein meets the strict definition of a lipase substrate in that it contains only long-chain fatty acids (4); hence, triolein can be used to distinguish lipase activity from the activity of nonlipolytic esterases and other enzymes that "fall into the Downloaded from on May 12, 218 by guest

The inability of PS54 and KSI95 to reduce triolein clearly indicates that the reactions observed on tributyrin plates were false positive. On the basis of direct correlation with the triolein plate assay, we conclude that the spectrophotometric tributyrin assay eliminates these reactions and provides a convenient, specific, and quantitative means of assessing lipase activity in S. aureus.
