Abstract
- Denaturation of human plasma high density lipoproteins during ultracentrifugation in guanidine-HCl is characterized by: dissociation of apoA-I, in the range of 2-3 M guanidine-HCl, and dissociation of apoA-I and apoA-II in 5-6 M guanidine-HCl. Denaturation of high density lipoprotein species, during a sequence of timed exposure to guanidine-HCl followed first by removal of the denaturant by dialysis and then by ultracentrifugation, is characterized by:dissociation of lipid-poor apoA-I, which follows a time course similar to denaturation-related changes in reported spectroscopic parameters; and apparent formation of lipoprotein aggregation products depleted in apoA-I and relatively enriched in apoA-II. These studies indicate differential properties of the major apoproteins in stabilizing high density lipoprotein structure and characterize a mode of lipoprotein transformation and degradation which apparently results from apoprotein dissociation coupled with aggregation of denatured lipoprote species.
