Demonstration of a Physical Interaction between Microsomal Triglyceride Transfer Protein and Apolipoprotein B during the Assembly of ApoB-containing Lipoproteins

The microsomal triglyceride transfer protein facilitates assembly and secretion of apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins and decreases cotranslational degradation of apolipoprotein B in transfected COS-7 cells.

We studied the role of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) in the synthesis, secretion, and cotranslational degradation of apolipoprotein (apo) B using nonhepatic COS-7 cells that expressed C-terminally truncated forms of apoB (from apoB15 to apoB94) with or without the large subunit of human MTP. With the exception of apoB15 and apoB18, secretion of all of the apoB forms was stimula...

Apolipoprotein B-containing Lipoprotein Assembly in Microsomal Triglyceride Transfer Protein Deficient McA-RH7777 Cell Line

Apolipoprotein B-containing lipoprotein assembly in microsomal triglyceride transfer protein-deficient McA-RH7777 cells.

Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) is required for the assembly and secretion of apolipoprotein (apo) B-containing lipoproteins. Previously, we demonstrated that the N-terminal 1,000 residues of apoB (apoB:1000) are necessary for the initiation of apoB-containing lipoprotein assembly in rat hepatoma McA-RH7777 cells and that these particles are phospholipid (PL) rich. To determine i...

Evidence that microsomal triglyceride transfer protein is limiting in the production of apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins in hepatic cells.

The microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) is a heterodimeric lipid transfer protein that is required for the assembly and secretion of apolipoprotein B (apoB)-containing lipoproteins. A key unresolved question is whether the MTP-mediated step is rate limiting. To address this, a unique experimental strategy was used that allowed the in situ modulation and measurement of MTP triglycerid...
