Abstract excerpt
To understand the molecular basis for the differences in receptor-binding activity of the three common human apolipoprotein E (apoE) isoforms, we characterized the microenvironments of their LDL receptor (LDLR)-binding regions (residues 136;-150). When present in dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine (DMPC) complexes, the 22-kDa amino-terminal fragments (residues 1;-191) of apoE3 and apoE4 bound to the LDLR with...
