Functional Analyses of Human Apolipoprotein CII by Site-directed Mutagenesis
1 Feb 2002
Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein CII (apoCII) activates lipoprotein lipase (LPL). Seven residues, located on one face of a model alpha-helix spanning residues 59-75, are fully conserved in apoCII from ten different animal species. We have mutated these residues one by one. Substitution of Ala(59) by glycine, or Thr(62) and Gly(65) by alanine did not change the activation, indicating that these residues are outside the LPL-binding...
