In this article, the history of the LDL receptor is recounted by its codiscoverers. Their early work on the LDL receptor explained a genetic cause of heart attacks and led to new ways of thinking about cholesterol metabolism. The LDL receptor discovery also introduced three general concepts to cell biology: receptor-mediated endocytosis, receptor recycling, and feedback regulation of receptors....
Native human plasma low density lipoprotein (LDL) interacts with concanavalin A but not with ricin; apOLDL reacts with both lectins. Each reaction is inhibited by the appropriate lectin-specific carbohydrate. The "receptors" on LDL for these two lectins are not destroyed by digestion by proteolytic enzymes. Peptide hydrolysis does not influence the reactivity of LDL toward concanavalin A. It do...
The effects of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors on the metabolism of apolipoprotein (apo) B-containing lipoproteins appear to differ according to the predominant lipoprotein profiles present and the condition being treated. In familial hypercholesterolemia, with isolated low density lipoprotein (LDL) elevations, the LDL-apoB elimination rate is increased by u...
Homozygous Watanabe hereditary hyperlipidemic (WHHL) rabbits have a near-complete deficiency of low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors in liver and other tissues. As a result, these rabbits clear LDL from plasma at an abnormally slow rate. In the current studies we show that WHHL rabbits clear chylomicrons from plasma at a normal rate. Chylomicrons are cleared by a two-step process: (i) hydrol...
Biochemical, immunological, and genetic techniques were used to investigate the genetic defects in three types of low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-deficient hamster cells. The previously isolated ldlB, ldlC, and ldlD mutants all synthesized essentially normal amounts of a 125,000-D precursor form of the LDL receptor, but were unable to process this receptor to the mature form of 155,000 D...
I N T R O D U C T I O N Cholesterol is a structural component of the plasma membrane that surrounds animal cells. It is absolutely essential for cell growth and survival. Yet, excessive amounts of cholesterol can also be lethal as when massive amounts of cholesterol deposit in cells of the artery wall producing atherosclerosis. Thus, animal cells have evolved a highly ordered mechanism for regu...
The macrophage LDL receptor and LDL receptor-related protein (LRP, CD91) mediate the phagocytic-like uptake of atherogenic lipoproteins and apoptotic cells, yet the structural basis of their phagocytic functions is not known. To address this issue, we transfected macrophages with chimeric proteins containing the cytoplasmic tails and transmembrane regions of the LDL receptor or LRP and the ecto...
Cells from six human colonie adenocarcinoma lines (CaCo-2, HT29, LS174T, SW480, SW403, and SW1417) and a normal skin fibroblast cell line (AG1519) were assayed in vitro for their ability to use low density lipoprotein (LDL). All tumor cell lines grew well in lipoproteindeficient serum, implying that LDL in culture medium was not critical for cell growth. When cell growth was inhibited with mevi...
