Abstract excerpt
During lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) assembly, non-covalent interactions between apolipoprotein(a) (apo(a)) and low density lipoprotein precede specific disulfide bond formation. Studies have shown that the non-covalent step involves an interaction between the weak lysine-binding sites (WLBS) present within each of apo(a) kringle IV types 6, 7, and 8 (KIV(6-8)), and two lysine residues (Lys(680) and Lys(690)) within the...
