Proteolysis of the low density lipoprotein receptor by bone morphogenetic protein-1 regulates cellular cholesterol uptake

Abstract

The development of cardiovascular disease is intimately linked to elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in the blood. Hepatic LDL receptor (LDLR) levels regulate the amount of plasma LDL. We identified the secreted zinc metalloproteinase, bone morphogenetic protein 1 (BMP1), as responsible for the cleavage of human LDLR within its extracellular ligand-binding repeats at Gly 171↓Asp 172. The resulting 120 kDa membrane-bound C-terminal fragment (CTF) of LDLR had reduced capacity to bind LDL and when expressed in LDLR null cells had compromised LDL uptake as compared to the full length receptor. Pharmacological inhibition of BMP1 or siRNA-mediated knockdown prevented the generation of the 120 kDa CTF and resulted in an increase in LDL uptake into cells. The 120 kDa CTF was detected in the livers from humans and mice expressing human LDLR. Collectively, these results identify that BMP1 regulates cellular LDL uptake and may provide a target to modulate plasma LDL cholesterol.

  • Two zinc metalloproteases, MT1-MMP and BMP1, also cleave the LDLR.

    “In addition to the proteolytic cleavage of the LDLR by γ-secretase, two zinc metalloproteases also cleave the receptor, MT1-MMP and BMP1.”

    From Post-translational regulation of the low-density lipoprotein receptor provides new targets for cholesterol regulation (2024) · cites this paper as [37]

    The Results section, “The zinc metalloprotease BMP1 cleaves the LDLR in its ligand binding domain” (page unavailable), confirms that BMP1 cleaves human LDLR. The Introduction also mentions γ-secretase-mediated cleavage, but the passages found in our copy do not identify MT1-MMP as an LDLR-cleaving protease (searched: MT1-MMP and membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase). (LLM, conf=0.88)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • BMP1 is involved in cleaving the LDLR in human primary hepatocytes and in human liver and adrenal samples.

    “However, there is evidence that BMP1 is involved in cleaving the LDLR in human primary hepatocytes and in human liver and adrenal samples [37,61,63], and the 36–40 kDa N-terminal fragment is present in human urine, likely due to clearance from the blood plasma by the kidneys [61].”

    From Post-translational regulation of the low-density lipoprotein receptor provides new targets for cholesterol regulation (2024) · cites this paper as [37]

    The Results (no page given) report a cleaved LDLR fragment in human liver samples, and the Discussion says human LDLR is likely cleaved there by BMP1. But the Methods identify the studied liver-derived and adrenal cells as HepG2 and SW13 carcinoma cell lines, not primary human hepatocytes or human adrenal tissue samples. (LLM, conf=0.89)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • BMP1 cleavage within the ligand binding domain of LDLR significantly reduces the affinity of the receptor for LDL, decreasing the ability of the LDLR to bind and internalise LDL.

    “BMP1 cleavage within the ligand binding domain of the LDLR significantly reduces the affinity of the receptor for LDL, decreasing the ability of the LDLR to bind and internalise LDL [37].”

    From Post-translational regulation of the low-density lipoprotein receptor provides new targets for cholesterol regulation (2024) · cites this paper as [37]

    The Results sections report that BMP1 cleaves LDLR in its ligand-binding domain and that the resulting fragment shows significantly reduced LDL binding and cellular uptake. The paper does not report a direct measurement of receptor–LDL affinity, so that more specific part of the claim is not established. (LLM, conf=0.82)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • The site of cleavage in human LDLR by BMP1 is highly specific, between residues Gly192 and Asp193, with the Asp residue being crucial for cleavage.

    “The site of cleavage in human LDLR by BMP1 is highly specific, between residues Gly192 and Asp193, with the Asp residue being crucial for cleavage [37,61,63].”

    From Post-translational regulation of the low-density lipoprotein receptor provides new targets for cholesterol regulation (2024) · cites this paper as [37]

    The Results section, “The zinc metalloprotease BMP1 cleaves the LDLR in its ligand binding domain” (page unavailable), identifies the human LDLR cleavage bond as Gly171–Asp172, not Gly192–Asp193. The Results section, “Human but not murine LDLR is proteolytically cleaved by BMP1 in vivo” (page unavailable), supports the Asp-residue claim: replacing Asp172 with Val prevented cleavage. (LLM, conf=0.90)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • siRNA-mediated silencing or ablation of BMP1 in HepG2 and CHO cells increased the levels of full-length LDLR and dramatically decreased the appearance of the truncated LDLR.

    “Second, siRNA-mediated silencing or ablation of BPM1 in HepG2 and CHO cells increased the levels of full-length LDLR and dramatically decreased the appearance of the truncated LDLR [56,57].”

    From The low-density lipoprotein receptor: Emerging post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms (2025) · cites this paper as [56]

    The Results section (Fig. 3; page unavailable) reports that BMP1 siRNA knockdown in HepG2 cells almost completely abolished production of the truncated LDLR fragments. Its rescue experiment also links BMP1 activity to a decrease in full-length LDLR. The Methods section describes CHO-A7 cells transfected with LDLR constructs, not BMP1 silencing or ablation in those cells; the claim’s CHO-cell and ablation portions are unsupported.

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.
