Mammalian diacylglycerol kinases (DGK) are a family of enzymes that catalyze the phosphorylation of diacylglycerol to produce phosphatidic acid. The extent of interaction of these enzymes with monoacylglycerols is the focus of the present study. Because of the structural relationship between mono- and diacylglycerols, one might expect the monoacylglycerols to be either substrates or inhibitors of DGK. This would have some consequence to lipid metabolism. One of the lipid metabolites that would be affected is 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG), which is an endogenous ligand for the CB1 cannabinoid receptor. We determined if the monoglycerides 2-AG or 2-oleoyl glycerol (2-OG) affected diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) activity. We found that 2-AG is a very poor substrate for either the epsilon or the zeta isoforms of DGK. Moreover, 2-AG is an inhibitor for both of these DGK isoforms. 2-OG is also a poor substrate for these two isoforms of DGK. As an inhibitor, 2-OG inhibits DGKε less than does 2-AG, while for DGKζ these two monoglycerides have similar inhibitory potency. These results have implications for the known role of DGKε in neuronal function and in epilepsy since the action of this enzyme will remove 1-stearoyl-2-arachidonoylglycerol, the precursor of the endocannabinoid 2-AG.
