Method: Solution NMR Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Disease APOC2_HUMAN Defects in APOC2 are the cause of hyperlipoproteinemia type 1B (HLPP1B) [MIM:207750. It is an autosomal recessive trait characterized by hypertriglyceridemia, xanthomas, and increased risk of pancreatitis and early atherosclerosis. Function APOC2_HUMAN Component of the very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) fraction in plasma, and is an activator of several triacylglycerol lipases. The association of APOC2 with plasma chylomicrons, VLDL, and HDL is reversible, a function of the secretion and catabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, and changes rapidly.

Publication Abstract from PubMed The structure of human apolipoprotein C-II (apoC-II) in the presence of dodecyl phosphocholine (DPC) micelles has been investigated by NMR spectroscopy. The resulting structural information is compared to that available for apoC-II in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate, revealing a high level of overall similarity but several significant differences. These findings further our understandings of the structural basis for apoC-II function. The interactions of the protein with the detergent micelle are probed using intermolecular nuclear Overhauser effects (NOEs) and paramagnetic agents. These interactions are seen across almost the full length of apoC-II and show the periodicity expected for an amphipathic helix interacting with the amphipathic surface of the DPC micelle. Furthermore, we observe specific contacts between lysine residues of apoC-II and protons near the phosphate group of DPC, consistent with the predictions of the so-called "snorkel hypothesis" of the structural basis for the apolipoprotein/lipid interaction (Segrest, J. P., Jackson, R. L., Morrisett, J. D., and Gotto, A. M., Jr. (1974) A molecular theory of lipid-protein interactions in the plasma lipoproteins, FEBS Lett 38, 247-258.). These findings offer the most detailed structural information available for the interaction between an apolipoprotein and the phospholipids of the lipoprotein surface and provide the first direct structural support for the snorkel hypothesis.
