Epitope mapping for the anti-rabbit cholesteryl ester transfer protein monoclonal antibody that selectively inhibits triglyceride transfer.

چکیده
Among the monoclonal antibodies (Mab) against rabbit plasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), Mab 14-8F cross-reacted with human CETP and selectively inhibited triglyceride transfer but not cholesteryl ester transfer (Ko, K. W. S., T. Ohnishi, and S. Yokoyama. 1994. J. Biol. Chem. 269: 28206;-28213). The epitope of this antibody was studied by using synthetic fragment peptides of rabbit and human CETP. Mab 14-8F reacted with the peptide R451-Q473 of human CETP near the carboxyl-terminal and not with the peptides representing any other regions, and inhibited the binding of human CETP to the goat antibody against its carboxyl-terminal peptide R451-S476. The experiments with a series of the fragment peptides in this region revealed that the epitope requires the segment 465-473 (EHLLVDFLQ) of human CETP or 485-493 (KHLLVDFLQ) of rabbit CETP (core epitope) though neither peptide by itself binds to the antibody. Both peptides needed extension at least by one residue beyond either amino- or carboxyl-end in order to show the reactivity to the antibody, but the effect was not highly residue-specific at least at the amino-end. Circular dichroism analysis demonstrated the increase of helical conformation by the extension of the "core epitope" peptides to either direction. Thus, the epitope is dependent on conformation of the core epitope induced by the presence of an additional residue(s) in either end. The core epitope occupies the central 64% of the reported linear epitope of Mab TP2, a widely used anti-human CETP monoclonal antibody that inhibits both cholesteryl ester and triglyceride transfer.Therefore, we conclude that the limited interaction of Mab with a common lipid interaction site causes selective inhibition of the transfer of triglyceride that has presumably lower priority than cholesteryl ester for the CETP reaction.

Purification and characterization of lipid transfer protein(s) from human lipoprotein-deficient plasma.
Lipid transfer activities from human plasma have been characterized to determine whether triglyceride and cholesteryl ester transfer proteins are identical. After sequential purification by phenyl-Sepharose, CM-cellulose, chromatofocusing, and gel filtration, both triglyceride and cholesteryl ester transfer activities were purified approximately 15,000-fold compared to lipoprotein-deficient pla...

The direct effect of apolipoprotein (apo) E on cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) activity was studied using lipoproteins from a subject with apoE deficiency (Atherosclerosis. 1991. 88: 15-20) as a model system. The transfer of cholesteryl ester (CE) from discoidal bilayer particles (DBP) to very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) was enhanced by incorporation of apoE into VLDL. This enhance...
