Abstract

Low density lipoprotein (LDL) particles are the main cholesterol carriers in human plasma. The organization of the particle, composed of apolar lipids and phospholipid monolayer stabilized by apolipoprotein B100 (apoB), is highly complex and still unknown. ApoB is an extremely large protein (4563 amino acids) and very little is known about its structure. A 3D model of the N-terminal region has been recently proposed and has provided interesting insights about the physico-chemical properties of the protein and putative interaction zones with lipids. In the present article, we propose the first tentative 3D modelling for most remaining residues. All predicted features emerging from the models are confronted with agreement to experimental data available. Using different up-to-date prediction methods, we decomposed the protein into eight domains and predicted 3D structure for each of them. The analysis of hydrophobic patches, polar regions, coupled with functional predictions based on the 3D models, gives new clues to understanding of the functional role of apoB. We suggest precise regions putatively involved in the lipid interactions, and discuss the position of apoB on the LDL particle. Finally, we propose relative organization of the domains, providing a shape quite compatible with the low resolution electron microscopy map.

摘要

低密度脂蛋白(LDL)颗粒是人体血浆中的主要胆固醇载体。该颗粒由非极性脂质和由载脂蛋白B100(apoB)稳定的磷脂单层组成,其结构高度复杂,目前仍不清楚。ApoB是一种极大的蛋白质(4563个氨基酸),人们对其结构了解甚少。最近有人提出了N端区域的三维模型,该模型为蛋白质的物理化学性质以及与脂质的假定相互作用区域提供了有趣的见解。在本文中,我们首次对其余大部分残基进行了初步的三维建模。从模型中得出的所有预测特征都与现有的实验数据进行了对比验证。我们使用不同的最新预测方法,将该蛋白质分解为八个结构域,并对每个结构域的三维结构进行了预测。对疏水区域、极性区域的分析,以及基于三维模型的功能预测,为理解apoB的功能作用提供了新线索。我们指出了可能参与脂质相互作用的精确区域,并讨论了apoB在LDL颗粒上的位置。最后,我们提出了各结构域的相对组织方式,得出的形状与低分辨率电子显微镜图像相当吻合。
