Abstract

To understand the molecular basis for the different self-association and lipoprotein preferences of apolipoprotein (apo) E isoforms, we compared the effects of progressive truncation of the C-terminal domain in human apoE3 and apoE4 on their lipid-free structure and lipid binding properties. A VLDL/HDL distribution assay demonstrated that apoE3 binds much better than apoE4 to HDL 3, whereas both isoforms bind similarly to VLDL. Removal of the C-terminal helical regions spanning residues 273-299 weakened the ability of both isoforms to bind to lipoproteins; this led to the elimination of the isoform lipoprotein preference, indicating that the C-terminal helices mediate the lipoprotein selectivity of apoE3 and apoE4 isoforms. Gel filtration chromatography experiments demonstrated that the monomer-tetramer distribution is different for the two isoforms with apoE4 being more monomeric than apoE3 and that removal of the C-terminal helices favors the monomeric state in both isoforms. Consistent with this, fluorescence measurements of Trp-264 in single-Trp mutants revealed that the C-terminal domain in apoE4 is less organized and more exposed to the aqueous environment than in apoE3. In addition, the solubilization of dimyristoylphosp...Continue Reading
