Reversible and irreversible interactions between elastin and plasma lipoproteins. 1985

C P Winlove, and K H Parker, and A R Ewins

The interactions between radiolabeled, human plasma lipoproteins and elastin derived from bovine ligamentum nuchae were investigated using a washout technique. The interaction was characterised by Ki, a coefficient of irreversible binding, and Kr, the reversible partition coefficient. For both low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL) the Ki values decreased as total lipoprotein concentration increased, suggesting that the binding is saturable, and were similar in magnitude to those measured by other workers using elastin derived from the human aorta. For both LDL and HDL the Kr values were independent of lipoprotein concentration in the range 0.1 microgram/ml-1.5 micrograms/ml. At a total protein concentration of 1.5 mg/ml in the incubation medium, the reversible interactions were comparable in magnitude to the irreversible.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007457 Iodine Radioisotopes Unstable isotopes of iodine that decay or disintegrate emitting radiation. I atoms with atomic weights 117-139, except I 127, are radioactive iodine isotopes. Radioisotopes, Iodine
D008022 Ligaments Shiny, flexible bands of fibrous tissue connecting together articular extremities of bones. They are pliant, tough, and inextensile. Interosseal Ligament,Interosseous Ligament,Interosseal Ligaments,Interosseous Ligaments,Ligament,Ligament, Interosseal,Ligament, Interosseous
D008075 Lipoproteins, HDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (4-13 nm) and dense (greater than 1.063 g/ml) particles. HDL lipoproteins, synthesized in the liver without a lipid core, accumulate cholesterol esters from peripheral tissues and transport them to the liver for re-utilization or elimination from the body (the reverse cholesterol transport). Their major protein component is APOLIPOPROTEIN A-I. HDL also shuttle APOLIPOPROTEINS C and APOLIPOPROTEINS E to and from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins during their catabolism. HDL plasma level has been inversely correlated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

D008077 Lipoproteins, LDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (18-25 nm) and light (1.019-1.063 g/ml) particles with a core composed mainly of CHOLESTEROL ESTERS and smaller amounts of TRIGLYCERIDES. The surface monolayer consists mostly of PHOSPHOLIPIDS, a single copy of APOLIPOPROTEIN B-100, and free cholesterol molecules. The main LDL function is to transport cholesterol and cholesterol esters to extrahepatic tissues.
