Apolipoprotein L1: from obscurity to consistency to controversy
1Nephrology and Hypertension Division, Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington, DC, USA.
Abstract:
Apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) is associated with increased incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease, and with faster progression of CKD, in African Americans. APOL1 is expressed in intra- and extrarenal vascular tissue, making it a candidate to explain the increased incidence of cardiovascular disease in CKD. This Commentary discusses the disparate results from three studies showing that APOL1 renal risk genotypes are either harmful, neutral, or protective in the context of cardiovascular disease.

Conjugated Proteins
Nucleoproteins are protein complexes that contain nucleic acids, categorized as deoxyribonucleoproteins (DNPs) or ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) respectively. The nucleosome is a typical example of a DNP where nuclear DNA is associated with histone proteins. The major antigen for the Covid-19 virus SARS-CoV is an RNP that is critical...

Diversity of Antigen Receptors
Before encountering any antigen, lymphocytes express these receptors. On B cells, the antigen receptor is a membrane-bound antibody molecule called BCR; on T cells, it is a T cell receptor or TCR. B and T cell receptors are composed of two...
