Cloning, expression, purification, and quantification of the 17% N- terminal domain of apolipoprotein b-100
Apolipoprotein B-100 (apo B) is the sole protein component of normal human low density lipoprotein (LDL). Elevated levels of LDL have been correlated with atherosclerosis and other coronary artery diseases. The large size of apo B (4536 aa) necessitates that it be studied in pieces corresponding to its structurally organized domains. The 17% N-terminal domain of apo B, simply B17, poses as one ...
متن کاملSelective oxidation in vitro by myeloperoxidase of the N-terminal amine in apolipoprotein B-100.
In contrast to the multiple low abundance 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine-reactive tryptic peptides formed by oxidation of LDL with reagent HOCl in vitro, myeloperoxidase-catalyzed oxidation produces a dominant product in considerably greater yield and selectivity. This modified peptide had a single amino-terminal sequence corresponding to amino acids 53-66 of apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB-100), but it...
متن کاملN-terminal domain of apolipoprotein B has structural homology to lipovitellin and microsomal triglyceride transfer protein: a "lipid pocket" model for self-assembly of apob-containing lipoprotein particles.
The process of assembly of apolipoprotein (apo) B-containing lipoprotein particles occurs co-translationally after disulfide-dependent folding of the N-terminal domain of apoB but the mechanism is not understood. During a recent database search for protein sequences that contained similar amphipathic beta strands to apoB-100, four vitellogenins, the precursor form of lipovitellin, an egg yolk l...
متن کاملStructural characterization of the N-terminal oligomerization domain of the bacterial chromatin-structuring protein, H-NS.
The H-NS protein plays a key role in condensing DNA and modulating gene expression in bacterial nucleoids. The mechanism by which this is achieved is dependent, at least in part, on the oligomerization of the protein. H-NS consists of two distinct domains; the N-terminal domain responsible for protein oligomerization, and the C-terminal DNA binding domain, which are separated by a flexible link...
متن کاملApolipoprotein B 100 and 48
Apolipoprotein B is the main structural surface protein found on all beta-lipoproteins (Chylomicrons, VLDLs, IDLs and LDLs). There is a single molecule of apoB on each of those lipoproteins. It is the only apolipoprotein that is not transferablei.e. it is with the particle from its birth till its death. Beta-lipoproteins are the lipoproteins capable of trafficking cholesterol into the artery wa...
