Comments
Although Asp437 (1aql) is annotated as catalytic residue in Swiss-prot (BAL_BOVIN;P30122), His435 (1aql) is more likely to be the residue, which is conserved throughout in the superfamily. This is supported by the literature ([1] & [2]).
According to the literature [2], this enzyme hydrolyzes both water soluble and hydrophobic esters, and its structure suggests that it can be evolutionarily between the triglyceride lipases and the esterases. The triglyseride lipases prefentially hydrolyze hydrophobic esters and lipids, while esterases such as acetylcholinesterase work on water soluble substrates.
This paper [2] also suggests that the nucleophilic attack takes place from the opposite side of the ester, leading to the inversion of chirality of the tetrahedral intermediate with respect to the trypsin-like serine proteases, where His435 acts as a base for the serine proton and then as an acid to the oxygen of the cholesterol leaving group, presenting both oxygens in a coplanar manner with the plane of the imidazole.
The paper [8] described the mechanism as follows: The catalysis consists of two steps of nucleophilic attack to the ester bond of the substrate. The first attack is by the catalytic residue Ser194, and the second one by a nearby water molecule. The first reaction step releases the alcoholic product, and the second step releases the fatty acid.
