Hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine by phospholipase A2 does not cause dissociation of apolipoprotein C from rat plasma very low density lipoprotein. 1977

S Eisenberg

To test the hypothesis that hydrolysis of glycerophosphatides causes displacement of apolipoprotein C from very low density lipoprotein, we have studied the effects of a snake venom phospholipase A2 on very low density lipoprotein labeled with [125I]apoC, [3H]cholesterol, [14C]palmitate and [32P]phospholipids. In spite of hydrolysis of 97% of the phosphatidylcholine, only small amounts of labeled apoC and labeled cholesterol were displaced from the very low density lipoprotein. With purified lipoprotein lipase in contrast, 80-90% of the labeled apoC and cholesterol were removed from the lipoprotein. It is concluded that hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine does not cause an appreciable dissociation of apolipoprotein C from very low density lipoprotein.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008079 Lipoproteins, VLDL A class of lipoproteins of very light (0.93-1.006 g/ml) large size (30-80 nm) particles with a core composed mainly of TRIGLYCERIDES and a surface monolayer of PHOSPHOLIPIDS and CHOLESTEROL into which are imbedded the apolipoproteins B, E, and C. VLDL facilitates the transport of endogenously made triglycerides to extrahepatic tissues. As triglycerides and Apo C are removed, VLDL is converted to INTERMEDIATE-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS, then to LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS from which cholesterol is delivered to the extrahepatic tissues.
