Stability of discoidal high-density lipoprotein particles
Motivated by experimental and numerical studies revealing that discoidal high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles may adopt flat elliptical and nonplanar saddle-like configurations, it is hypothesized that these might represent stabilized configurations of initially unstable flat circular particles. A variational description is developed to explore the stability of a flat circular discoidal HDL...
متن کاملApolipoprotein AI tertiary structures determine stability and phospholipid-binding activity of discoidal high-density lipoprotein particles of different sizes.
Human high-density lipoprotein (HDL) plays a key role in the reverse cholesterol transport pathway that delivers excess cholesterol back to the liver for clearance. In vivo, HDL particles vary in size, shape and biological function. The discoidal HDL is a 140-240 kDa, disk-shaped intermediate of mature HDL. During mature spherical HDL formation, discoidal HDLs play a key role in loading cholest...
متن کاملHelix orientation of the functional domains in apolipoprotein e in discoidal high density lipoprotein particles.
Human apolipoprotein E (apoE) mediates high affinity binding to the low density lipoprotein receptor when present on a lipidated complex. In the absence of lipid, however, apoE does not bind the receptor. Whereas the x-ray structure of lipid-free apoE3 N-terminal (NT) domain is known, the structural organization of its lipid-associated, receptor-active conformation is poorly understood. To stud...
متن کاملApolipoprotein A-I helical structure and stability in discoidal high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles by hydrogen exchange and mass spectrometry.
To understand high-density lipoprotein (HDL) structure at the molecular level, the location and stability of α-helical segments in human apolipoprotein (apo) A-I in large (9.6 nm) and small (7.8 nm) discoidal HDL particles were determined by hydrogen-deuterium exchange (HX) and mass spectrometry methods. The measured HX kinetics of some 100 apoA-I peptides specify, at close to amino acid resolu...
متن کاملThe spatial organization of apolipoprotein A-I on the edge of discoidal high density lipoprotein particles: a mass specrometry study.
The three-dimensional structure of human apoA-I on nascent, discoidal HDL particles has been debated extensively over the past 25 years. Recent evidence has demonstrated that the alpha-helical domains of apoA-I are arranged in a belt-like orientation with the long axis of the helices perpendicular to the phospholipid acyl chains on the disc edge. However, experimental information on the spatial...
