Abstract

A new apolipoprotein (apo) E variant, apoE5 (Glu212-->Lys) was identified in a Turkish family. The variant was due to a point mutation (CAG-->AAG) at the first nucleotide position of the codon encoding amino acid residue 212 of the mature apoE. The 23-year-old index patient was heterozygous for the mutation. Examination of the proband's kindred revealed six heterozygous and two homozygous mutation carriers. Compared to non-carriers, carriers of the mutation had slightly higher triglycerides (1.25 versus 1.11 g/l) and lower HDL cholesterol (0.36 versus 0.41 g/l). Very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) from an apoE5 (Glu212-->Lys) homozygote displayed enhanced binding (+17%, P < 0.05), but decreased uptake (-35%, P < 0.0001) and degradation (-51%, P < 0.0001) in cultured fibroblasts, compared to E3/3-VLDL. The region of the apoE molecule surrounding residue 212 contains a heparin binding domain. Consistently, the enhanced cell surface binding of E5/5-VLDL was observed in "wild-type" Chinese hamster ovary cells (+19%, P < 0.05), but not in proteoglycan-deficient cells. The binding of E5/5-VLDL to heparin was increased (+22%, P < 0.05). As the endocytosis of apoE-containing particles involves the transfer of proteoglycan-bound ligands to lipoprotein receptors, the stronger binding of apoE5 (Glu212-->Lys) to proteoglycans could reduce the rate at which the mutant is finally delivered to endocytotic pathways. These data may provide evidence for a functionally important heparin binding site around amino acid residue 212 of the apoE molecule in vivo.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
