Immunoadsorption affinity chromatography has been used to define the structure of lipoproteins in human plasma containing lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.43) (LCAT) and transfer protein (apo D). The whole of LCAT was absorbed by antibodies specific for apo D and for apo A-1, indicating that the enzyme is present in plasma exclusively as a complex with its cofactor (apo A-1) and product transfer protein (apo D). About 80% of apo D (but no LCAT) was removed by antibody to apo A-2, indicating the presence of most of apo D in the form of an enzyme-free complex will apo A-1 and apo A-2. After removal of LCAT with antibody to apo D, plasma was unreactive as a substrate with isolated LCAT, but substrate activity was generated by ultracentrifugal flotation with either intact or adsorbed plasma. The apparent stoichiometry of the complex with LCAT (LCAT:apo A-1:apo D) was 1.0:0.9:1.8; that of the complex containing apo A-1, apo A-2, and apo D was 3.9:2.2:1.0.
胆固醇酰基转移酶(EC 2.3.1.43)(LCAT)和转运蛋白(载脂蛋白D)的脂蛋白结构。整个LCAT被针对载脂蛋白D和载脂蛋白A-1的特异性抗体吸收,这表明该酶在血浆中仅以与其辅因子(载脂蛋白A-1)和产物转运蛋白(载脂蛋白D)的复合物形式存在。约80%的载脂蛋白D(但没有LCAT)被抗载脂蛋白A-2抗体去除,这表明大部分载脂蛋白D以与载脂蛋白A-1和载脂蛋白A-2形成的无酶复合物形式存在。用抗载脂蛋白D抗体去除LCAT后,血浆作为分离出的LCAT的底物无反应性,但通过超速离心浮选完整或吸附的血浆可产生底物活性。与LCAT的复合物(LCAT:载脂蛋白A-1:载脂蛋白D)的表观化学计量比为1.0:0.9:1.8;含有载脂蛋白A-1、载脂蛋白A-2和载脂蛋白D的复合物的表观化学计量比为3.9:2.2:1.0。
