ABSTRACT: Apolipoprotein AI (apoA-I) is the principal
acceptor of lipids from ATP-binding cassette transporter A1, a
process that yields nascent high density lipoproteins. Analysis
of lipidated apoA-I conformation yields a belt or twisted belt in
which two strands of apoA-I lie antiparallel to one another. In
contrast, biophysical studies have suggested that a part of lipidfree apoA-I was arranged in a four-helix bundle. To understand
how lipid-free apoA-I opens from a bundle to a belt while
accepting lipid it was necessary to have a more refined model
for the conformation of lipid-free apoA-I. This study reports
the conformation of lipid-free human apoA-I using lysine-tolysine chemical cross-linking in conjunction with disulfide
cross-linking achieved using selective cysteine mutations. After
proteolysis, cross-linked peptides were verified by sequencing using tandem mass spectrometry. The resulting structure is
compact with roughly four helical regions, amino acids 44−186, bundled together. C- and N-terminal ends, amino acids 1−43
and 187−243, respectively, are folded such that they lie close to one another. An unusual feature of the molecule is the high
degree of connectivity of lysine40 with six other lysines, lysines that are close, for example, lysine59, to distant lysines, for example,
lysine239, that are at the opposite end of the primary sequence. These results are compared and contrasted with other reported
conformations for lipid-free human apoA-I and an NMR study of mouse apoA-I.
