It has been proposed that the plasma phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) facilitates the transfer of phospholipids and cholesterol from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL) into high-density lipoproteins (HDL). To evaluate the in vivo role of PLTP in lipoprotein metabolism, we used homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells and produced mice with no PLTP gene expression. Analysis of plasma of F2 homozygous PLTP-/-mice showed complete loss of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, sphingomyelin, and partial loss of free cholesterol transfer activities. Moreover, the in vivo transfer of [3H]phosphatidylcholine ether from very-low-density proteins (VLDL) to HDL was abolished in PLTP-/-mice. On a chow diet, PLTP-/-mice showed marked decreases in HDL phospholipid (60%), cholesterol (65%), and apo AI (85%), but no significant change in non-HDL lipid or apo B levels, compared with wild-type littermates. On a high-fat diet, HDL levels were similarly decreased, but there was also an increase in VLDL and LDL phospholipids (210%), free cholesterol (60%), and cholesteryl ester (40%) without change in apo B levels, suggesting accumulation of surface components of TRL. Vesicular lipoproteins were shown by negative-stain electron microscopy of the free cholesterol- and phospholipid-enriched IDL/LDL fraction. Thus, PLTP is the major factor facilitating transfer of VLDL phospholipid into HDL. Reduced plasma PLTP activity causes markedly decreased HDL lipid and apoprotein, demonstrating the importance of transfer of surface components of TRL in the maintenance of HDL levels. Vesicular lipoproteins accumulating in PLTP-/-mice on a high-fat diet could influence the development of atherosclerosis. << Less

Phospholipid transfer activity of microsomal triacylglycerol transfer protein is sufficient for the assembly and secretion of apolipoprotein B lipoproteins.

Human microsomal triacylglycerol transfer protein (hMTP) is essential for apolipoprotein B (apoB)-lipoprotein assembly and secretion and is known to transfer triacylglycerols, cholesterol esters, and phospholipids. To understand the relative importance of each lipid transfer activity, we compared the ability of hMTP and its Drosophila ortholog (dMTP) to assemble apoB lipoproteins and to transfer various lipids. apoB48 secretion was induced when co-expressed with either hMTP or dMTP in COS cells, and oleic acid supplementation further augmented secretion without altering particle density. C-terminal epitope-tagged dMTP (dMTP-FLAG) facilitated the secretion of apoB polypeptides in the range of apoB48 to apoB72 but was approximately 50% as efficient as hMTP-FLAG. Comparison of lipid transfer activities revealed that although phospholipid transfer was similar in both orthologs, dMTP was unable to transfer neutral lipids. We conclude that the phospholipid transfer activity of MTP is sufficient for the assembly and secretion of primordial apoB lipoproteins and may represent its earliest function evolved for the mobilization of lipid in invertebrates. Identification of MTP inhibitors, which selectively affect transfer of a specific lipid class, may have therapeutic potential. << Less

Molecular and macromolecular specificity of human plasma phospholipid transfer protein.

Phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP), also known as lipid transfer protein 2 (LTP-2), mediates a transfer of phospholipids between high-density lipoproteins (HDL). The molecular and macromolecular specificities of recombinant human PLTP were studied using a fluorometric assay based on the excimer fluorescence of pyrenyl lipids. To determine lipoprotein specificity of PLTP, donor very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and HDL were labeled with 1-palmitoyl-2-[10-(1-pyrenyl)decanoyl]phosphatidylcholine (PPyDPC) and incubated with unlabeled acceptor VLDL, LDL, and HDL in every pairwise combination. The highest rate of PPyDPC transfer mediated by PLTP occurred between donor HDL and acceptor HDL. Reassembled HDL (rHDL) consisting of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoylphosphatidylcholine, apolipoprotein A-I, and pyrene lipids (100:1:4) were used to demonstrate that PLTP transfers diacylglyceride > phosphatidic acid > sphingomyelin > phosphatidylcholine (PC) > phosphatidylglycerol > cerobroside > phosphatidylethanolamine. Thus, PLTP transfers a variety of lipids with two carbon chains and a polar head group. Unsaturation of one PC acyl chain greatly increased transfer rate, whereas increasing chain length and exchanging sn-1/sn-2 position had only small effects. The rate of PPyDPC transfer by PLTP decreases with increasing free cholesterol content in rHDL and with decreasing HDL size. In contrast to spontaneous transfer, PLTP mediates the accumulation of PC in small rHDL particles. PLTP may be important in vivo in the recycling of PC from mature HDL to nascent HDL, the latter of which are the initial acceptors of cholesterol from peripheral tissue for reverse cholesterol transport to the liver. << Less

SignificanceScramblases translocate lipids across the lipid bilayer without consumption of ATP, thereby regulating lipid distributions in cellular membranes. Cytosol-to-lumen translocation across the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane is a common process among lipid glycoconjugates involved in posttranslational protein modifications in eukaryotes. These translocations are thought to be mediated by specific ER-resident scramblases, but the identity of these proteins and the underlying molecular mechanisms have been elusive. Here, we show that CLPTM1L, an integral membrane protein with eight putative transmembrane domains, is the major lipid scramblase involved in efficient glycosylphosphatidylinositol biosynthesis in the ER membrane. Our results validate the long-standing hypothesis that lipid scramblases ensure the efficient translocations of lipid glycoconjugates across the ER membrane for protein glycosylation pathways. << Less

Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) activity is classically measured using radioactive lipids. We described a simple fluorescence assay to measure its triacylglycerol (TAG) transfer activity. Here, we describe fluorescence-based methods to measure the transfer of phospholipids (PLs) and cholesteryl esters (CEs) by MTP. Both transfer activities increased with time and MTP amounts and were inhibited to different extents by an MTP antagonist, BMS197636. We also describe a method to measure the net deposition of fluorescent lipids in acceptor vesicles. In this procedure, negatively charged donor vesicles are incubated with MTP and acceptor vesicles, and lipids transferred to acceptors are quantified after the removal of donor vesicles and MTP by the addition of DE52. Lipid deposition in acceptor vesicles was dependent on time and MTP. Using these methods, TAG transfer activity was the most robust activity present in purified MTP; CE and PL transfer activities were 60-71% and 5-13% of the TAG transfer activity, respectively. The method to determine lipid transfer is recommended for routine MTP activity measurements for its simplicity. These methods may help identify specific inhibitors for individual lipid transfer activities, in characterizing different domains involved in transfer, and in the isolation of mutants that bind but cannot transfer lipids. << Less

Human phospholipid scramblase 1 (hPLSCR1) scrambles plasma membrane phospholipids during cell activation, blood coagulation and apoptosis. It was over-expressed in E. coli with a histidine tag and purified from the inclusion bodies (*30 mg/l culture broth) under denaturing conditions using 8 M urea. The denatured hPLSCR1 refolded into its native configuration when urea was removed as shown by a 10-fold increase in its intrinsic fluorescence. Active hPLSCR1 showed scrambling activity in vitro after reconstituting in proteoliposomes. hPLSCR1 showed higher rates of scrambling activity for phosphatidylethanolamine than phosphatidylcholine. Binding studies with the calcium analogue "Stains-all" dye showed a characteristic peak, termed as the J band, at 650 nm. This is the first report on high level expression of hPLSCR1 with histidine tag in E. coli. << Less
