Effects of Disease-Causing Mutations on the Conformation of Human Apolipoprotein A-I in Model Lipoproteins

Biochemistry
Christopher J WilsonJohn R Engen

Abstract

Plasma high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) are protein-lipid nanoparticles that transport lipids and protect against atherosclerosis. Human apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) is the principal HDL protein whose mutations can cause either aberrant lipid metabolism or amyloid disease. Hydrogen-deuterium exchange (HDX) mass spectrometry (MS) was used to study the apoA-I conformation in model discoidal lipoproteins similar in size to large plasma HDL. We examined how point mutations associated with hereditary amyloidosis (F71Y and L170P) or atherosclerosis (L159R) influence the local apoA-I conformation in model lipoproteins. Unlike other apoA-I forms, the large particles showed minimal conformational heterogeneity, suggesting a fully extended protein conformation. Mutation-induced structural perturbations in lipid-bound protein were attenuated compared to the free protein and indicated close coupling between the two belt-forming apoA-I molecules. These perturbations propagated to distant lipoprotein sites, either increasing or decreasing their protection. This HDX MS study of large model HDL, compared with previous studies of smaller particles, ascertained that apoA-I's central region helps accommodate the protein conformation to lipoprotein...Continue Reading

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
