  • Title: Purification and characterization of human plasma proteins that inhibit lipid transfer activities.
    Author: Son YS, Zilversmit DB.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1984 Oct 04; 795(3):473-80. PubMed ID: 6477956.
    Abstract:
    A protein which inhibits cholesteryl ester and triacylglycerol transfer activities was purified from human lipoprotein-deficient plasma by chromatography on phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B, chromatofocusing, Bio-Gel A-0.5m and hydroxylapatite. The inhibitor is a sialoglycoprotein with molecular weight 32 000 and a relatively broad isoelectric region of 3.9-4.3. The inhibitor suppressed triacylglycerol and cholesteryl ester transfer activities to a similar extent. Apolipoprotein A-I, which was separated from the inhibitor by chromatofocusing chromatography, suppressed triacyglycerol transfer more than cholesteryl ester transfer. The percentage reduction of lipid transfer between lipoproteins by the inhibitor was independent of the concentration of transfer protein but was decreased at higher lipoprotein concentrations. The inhibition was not observed during lipid transfer between liposomes. These results indicate that the inhibitor interacts with substrates rather than with the transfer protein.
