Kinetics and phospholipid specificity of apolipoprotein N-acyltransferase.
The enzyme apolipoprotein N-acyltransferase (Lnt) is an integral membrane protein that catalyzes the last step in the post-translational modification of bacterial lipoproteins. Lnt undergoes covalent modification in the presence of phospholipids resulting in a thioester acyl-enzyme intermediate. It then transfers the acyl chain to the α-amino group of the N-terminal diacylglyceryl-modified cyst...
متن کاملLipid binding-induced conformational changes in the N-terminal domain of human apolipoprotein E.
The N-terminal domain of human apolipoprotein E3 (apoE3) adopts an elongated, globular four helix bundle conformation in the lipid-free state. Upon lipid binding, the protein is thought to undergo a significant conformational change that is essential for manifestation of its low density lipoprotein receptor recognition properties. We have used fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to ch...
متن کاملStructural insights into lipoprotein N-acylation by Escherichia coli apolipoprotein N-acyltransferase.
Gram-negative bacteria express a diverse array of lipoproteins that are essential for various aspects of cell growth and virulence, including nutrient uptake, signal transduction, adhesion, conjugation, sporulation, and outer membrane protein folding. Lipoprotein maturation requires the sequential activity of three enzymes that are embedded in the cytoplasmic membrane. First, phosphatidylglycer...
متن کاملCharacterization of a temperature-sensitive mutant of Salmonella typhimurium defective in apolipoprotein N-acyltransferase.
On screening 440 temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of Salmonella typhimurium, a mutant strain SE5312 which accumulated apolipoprotein (ALP) at 42 degrees C was identified. In vitro assay of apolipoprotein N-acyltransferase activity indicated that the mutant cell envelope contained reduced activity as compared to the wild-type strain. Transduction with a Mud-P22 mapping set placed the ts mutati...
متن کاملDifferences in LDL subspecies involve alterations in lipid composition and conformational changes in apolipoprotein B.
In order to investigate causes of variability in low density lipoprotein (LDL) particle size, we have assessed LDL composition in plasma from 66 subjects, each with a single LDL band, by 2-16% gradient gel electrophoresis, with a total of eight discrete sizes (LDL-1 to LDL-8). Lipoprotein concentrations were analyzed by standard methods; specific proteins were assessed by immunoassay and electr...
