We have studied the structure of the totally delipidated polypeptide (apolipoprotein B [apo B]) present in low-density serum lipoprotein in detergent (n-dodecyl octaethyleneglycol monoether) solution by electron microscopy. The protein-detergent complex appears as a rod-shaped particle, 75-80 nm long and 4.5-5.5 nm wide. The volume of this particle is consistent with the previously published composition reported by Watt and Reynolds (1980, Biochemistry 19:1593-1598) of two copies of apo B and five to six equivalent micelles of detergent. The asymmetric particle possesses a high degree of flexibility and a strong tendency to self-associate in an orderly fashion. The extent of this association is pH dependent.
我们通过电子显微镜研究了去污剂(正十二烷基八乙二醇单醚)溶液中低密度血清脂蛋白中存在的完全脱脂多肽(载脂蛋白B [apo B])的结构。蛋白质 - 去污剂复合物呈现为棒状颗粒,长75 - 80纳米,宽4.5 - 5.5纳米。该颗粒的体积与瓦特和雷诺兹(1980年,《生物化学》19:1593 - 1598)先前发表的由两个apo B拷贝和五到六个等效去污剂胶束组成的成分一致。这种不对称颗粒具有高度的柔韧性和以有序方式自缔合的强烈倾向。这种缔合程度取决于pH值。
