Abstract:
:To identify residues and segments in the central region of apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) that are important for the protein structure and stability, we studied the effects of four double charge ablations, D102A/D103A, E110A/E111A, R116V/K118A, and R160V/H162A, and two deletion mutations, Delta(61-78) and Delta(121-142), on the conformation and stability of apoA-I in the lipid-free state and in reconstituted discoidal phospholipid-cholesterol-apoA-I particles (rHDL). The findings suggest that D102/D103 and E110/E111 located in helix 4 and segment(s) between residues 61 and 78 are involved in maintenance of the conformation and stability of apoA-I in both the lipid-free state and in rHDL. R116/K118 located in helix 4 are essential for the conformation and stabilization of apoA-I in rHDL but not vital for the lipid-free state of the protein. The R160V/H162A substitutions in helix 6 lead to a less compact tertiary structure of lipid-free apoA-I without notable effects on the lipid-free or lipid-bound secondary conformation, suggesting involvement of R160/H162 in important interhelical interactions. The results on the Delta(121-142) mutant, together with our earlier findings, suggest disordered structure of a major segment between residues 121 and 143, likely including residues 131-143, in lipid-free apoA-I. Our findings provide the first experimental evidence for stabilization of rHDL by specific electrostatic interhelical interactions, in agreement with the double belt model. The effects of alterations in the conformation and stability of the apoA-I mutants on in vitro and in vivo functions of apoA-I and lipid homeostasis are discussed.
