Abstract

We previously demonstrated that a portion, or perhaps all, of the residues between 931 and 1000 of apolipoprotein (apo) B100 are required for the initiation of apoB-containing particle assembly. Based on our structural model of the first 1000 residues of apoB (designated as apoB:1000), we hypothesized that this domain folds into a three-sided lipovitellin-like "lipid pocket" via a hairpin-bridge mechanism. We proposed that salt bridges are formed between four tandem charged residues 717-720 in the turn of the hairpin bridge and four tandem complementary residues 997-1000 located at the C-terminal end of the model. To identify the specific motif within residues 931 and 1000 that is critical for apoB particle assembly, apoB:956 and apoB:986 were produced. To test the hairpin-bridge hypothesis, the following mutations were made: 1) residues 997-1000 deletion (apoB:996), 2) residues 717-720 deletion (apoB:1000Delta717-720), and 3) substitution of charged residues 997-1000 with alanines (apoB:996 + 4Ala). Characterization of particles secreted by stable transformants of McA-RH7777 cells demonstrated the following. 1) ApoB:956 did not form stable particles and was secreted as large lipid-rich aggregates. 2) ApoB:986 formed both a lip...Continue Reading
