Subunit heterogeneity in human serum beta lipoprotein.

J P Kane, E G Richards, R J Havel

    Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
    |August 1, 1970
    PubMed
    Summary

    Researchers isolated lipid-free human serum beta lipoprotein apoprotein using interfacial extraction. This method yielded two distinct protein fractions, with the smaller one having a molecular weight of 26,000 Daltons.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Lipid Metabolism

    Background:

    • Human serum beta lipoprotein is a key carrier of lipids in the blood.
    • Understanding its apoprotein structure is crucial for lipid metabolism research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To prepare a lipid-free and soluble form of human serum beta lipoprotein apoprotein.
    • To characterize the protein fractions obtained after preparation.

    Main Methods:

    • Interfacial extraction using guanidinium hydrochloride and a nonionic amphiphile.
    • Gel permeation chromatography of maleylated apobeta lipoprotein.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully prepared a lipid-free, soluble apoprotein.
    • Separated two distinct protein fractions via chromatography.
    • Determined the molecular weight of the smaller fraction to be 2.6 x 10^4 Daltons.

    Conclusions:

    • The interfacial extraction method is effective for isolating apoprotein.
    • Human serum beta lipoprotein apoprotein exists in at least two distinct forms.
    • Further characterization of these fractions is warranted.
