Mass spectral analysis of pig (Sus scrofa) apo HDL: Identification of pig apoA-II, a dimeric apolipoprotein
چکیده انگلیسی
Comparative studies of mammalian high density lipoproteins have clearly indicated that the major apolipoprotein is apoA-I and in some mammals apoA-II is the second major apolipoprotein. However, in pigs, apoA-II has been considered to be either present in trace amounts or absent. Recently, cDNA sequences for pigs A-II have been entered into the database. Translation of these sequences revealed that pig A-II consisted of 77 amino acids and that a cysteine residue was at residue 6. The A-II of three other mammals, chimpanzees, horses and humans, also has a cysteine residue at this position. As a result of a disulfide bond formed between monomers, the A-II in each of these cases circulates as a homodimer. Using electrospray-ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), we obtained molecular mass data demonstrating that dimeric apoA-II is also present in pig plasma. In addition to being the first to report on the presence of apoA-II in pig plasma, we also obtained values for the molecular masses of apoA-I, apoC-III, apoD and serum amyloid A protein.
