Apolipoprotein E2-Christchurch (136 Arg----Ser). New variant of human apolipoprotein E in a patient with type III hyperlipoproteinemia.
Open accessAbstract
The primary structure of apolipoprotein E (apo E) was investigated in seven type III hyperlipoproteinemic patients with the apo E-2/2 phenotype. Six of the patients had identical two-dimensional tryptic peptide maps. These differed from the normal apo E3 map by the altered mobility of a single peptide. Amino acid analysis and sequencing showed that apo E2 in these patients had a substitution of 158 Arg----Cys. The presence of this mutation in six of the seven type III patients confirms that this is the most common form of apo E2. The seventh type III patient had a unique map with a new peptide resulting from a substitution of 136 Arg----Ser. He was heterozygous for this and for the more common apo E2 (158 Arg----Cys) variant. His very low-density lipoprotein contained approximately five times more apo E2 (136 Arg----Ser) than apo E2 (158 Arg----Cys), as determined by cysteamine treatment and peptide mapping. This new apo E2 mutant thus appears to contribute significantly to the patient's hyperlipidemia.

The Discussion (page unavailable) places apo-E3’s first heparin-binding site, at residues 142–147, in the same region as its lipoprotein receptor-binding domain. It also identifies a second heparin-binding site elsewhere, so the coincidence refers to the first site. (LLM, conf=0.90)

“The first of these, apo B,E or low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor, is present in most tissues.Apo E has a much higher affinity than apolipoprotein B for this receptor because of the potential of apo E-containing particles to form multiple interactions with several sites on the receptor (15)(16)(17).”

The Results report that apo-E HDLc had 23-fold higher affinity than LDL for receptors on human fibroblasts. The Discussion says that multiple recognition sites on an HDLc particle can interact with multiple receptors—not that the particle interacts with several sites on one receptor. The paper studies fibroblasts and does not establish that the receptor is present in most tissues. (LLM, conf=0.88)

The apo E2 variant by itself is not sufficient to cause type III hyperlipoproteinemia; only about 2% of apo E2 homozygotes have the disease.
“The variant apo E2 alone is not sufficient to cause type III, however, as only -2% of all apo E2 homozygotes have this disease.”
The paper relies on this without support.
There are only two histidine-containing peptides in apo E, T17 and T39.
“As there are only two histidine-containing peptides in apo E (T17 and T39), one of these peptides must be implicated, or the mutation has introduced a new histidine.”
The paper relies on this without support.
The relative amount of apo E2(136 Arg->Ser) versus apo E2(158 Arg->Cys) in VLDL reflects the mutant's contribution to the patient's hyperlipidemia.
“His very low-density lipoprotein contained approximately five times more apo E2 (136 Arg -Ser) than apo E2 (158 Arg --Cys), as determined by cysteamine treatment and peptide mapping.This new apo E2 mutant thus appears to contribute significantly to the patient's hyperlipidemia.”

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-01, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-01 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
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.
