Abstract
Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a genome reduced pathogen and causative agent of community acquired pneumonia. The major cellular adhesin, P1, localises to the tip of the attachment organelle forming a complex with P40 and P90, two cleavage fragments derived by processing Mpn142, and other molecules with adhesive and mobility functions. LC-MS/MS analysis of M. pneumoniae M129 proteins derived from whole cell lysates and eluents from affinity matrices coupled with chemically diverse host molecules identified 22 proteoforms of P1. Terminomics was used to characterise 17 cleavage events many of which were independently verified by the identification of semi-tryptic peptides in our proteome studies and by immunoblotting. One cleavage event released 1597TSAAKPGAPRPPVPPKPGAPKPPVQPPKKPA1627 from the C-terminus of P1 and this peptide was shown to bind to a range of host molecules. A smaller synthetic peptide comprising the C-terminal 15 amino acids, 1613PGAPKPPVQPPKKPA1627, selectively bound cytoskeletal intermediate filament proteins cytokeratin 7, cytokeratin 8, cytokeratin 18, and vimentin from a native A549 cell lysate. Collectively, our data suggests that ectodomain shedding occurs on the surface of M. pneumoniae where it may alter the functional diversity of P1, Mpn142 and other surface proteins such as elongation factor Tu via a mechanism similar to that described in Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae.

Abstract
Low density lipoprotein (LDL) particles are the main cholesterol carriers in human plasma. The organization of the particle, composed of apolar lipids and phospholipid monolayer stabilized by apolipoprotein B100 (apoB), is highly complex and still unknown. ApoB is an extremely large protein (4563 amino acids) and very little is known about its structure. A 3D model of the N-terminal region has been recently proposed and has provided interesting insights about the physico-chemical properties of the protein and putative interaction zones with lipids. In the present article, we propose the first tentative 3D modelling for most remaining residues. All predicted features emerging from the models are confronted with agreement to experimental data available. Using different up-to-date prediction methods, we decomposed the protein into eight domains and predicted 3D structure for each of them. The analysis of hydrophobic patches, polar regions, coupled with functional predictions based on the 3D models, gives new clues to understanding of the functional role of apoB. We suggest precise regions putatively involved in the lipid interactions, and discuss the position of apoB on the LDL particle. Finally, we propose relative organization of the domains, providing a shape quite compatible with the low resolution electron microscopy map.

Abstract
Cultured cells possess high-affinity binding sites (receptors) for high density lipoprotein (HDL) that appear to mediate removal of excess intracellular cholesterol from cells. To examine the role of intact HDL apoproteins in receptor-mediated cholesterol removal, HDL3 apoproteins were digested with the proteolytic enzymes trypsin and pronase, and the residual particles were used in sterol efflux experiments. Protease treatment abolished the interaction of HDL3 with the 110-kd cell membrane protein postulated to represent the HDL receptor molecule, indicating that this interaction is mediated by HDL apoproteins rather than lipids. Compared with native HDL3 protease-modified HDL3 had a markedly reduced ability to selectively remove sterol from intracellular pools, even though modified particles promoted greater cholesterol efflux from the plasma membrane than did native particles. These results indicate that whereas sterol efflux from plasma membranes is mediated by HDL lipids, removal of excess intracellular sterol from cells is mediated by HDL apoproteins. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that receptor binding of HDL apoproteins stimulates translocation of excess intracellular sterol to the cell surface where it becomes accessible for removal by HDL or other lipid-rich acceptor particles.

Abstract
Fourier transform infrared spectra of apolipoprotein E-depleted human HDL3 have been obtained in H2O and 2H2O buffers. The absorption bands in the protein amide I and amide II regions (1700-1500 cm-1) were assigned to alpha-helical, disordered and beta-strand/beta-turn structures of apolipoproteins A-I and A-II (apoA-I and apoA-II), the apolipoprotein constituents of HDL3. Modification of HDL3 by tetranitromethane (TNM) treatment, acetylation, reduction plus alkylation and 1,2-cyclohexanedione treatment derivatised tyrosine, lysine, cysteine and arginine residues, respectively, and caused alteration of the secondary structure of the HDL3 apolipoproteins to different extents. Each of the chemical modifications caused changes in the frequency of bands associated with beta-strands/beta-turns, but only TNM treatment of HDL3, as judged by the second- and fourth-derivative spectra, resulted in a shift of the band assigned to the alpha-helical structure of the proteins. In agreement with other workers, only TNM treatment of HDL3 particles was found to inhibit their binding by high-affinity cell membrane receptors. It is proposed, therefore, that receptor recognition of HDL3 particles is dependent on conservation of the alpha-helix structures within apoA-I and apoA-II, and that beta-strand/beta-turn structures are not involved. This conclusion is consistent with the predominance of amphipathic alpha-helical structures in both apolipoproteins and with the relaxed specificity of the receptors which are thought to recognise both apoA-I and apoA-II.

Abstract
A keratinolytic proteinase (KPase) which is regarded as an important factor in the pathogenesis of dermatophytosis was isolated and purified from Microsporum (M.) canis culture filtrates. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine the occurrence of circulating antibodies to this enzyme in sera samples from guinea pigs with superficial fungal infections caused by M. canis. Of sera samples from guinea pigs infected with M. canis, 75% were reactive within 10 weeks, however, those ELISA values were relatively low compared with those from guinea pigs immunized with KPase. The presence of circulating antibodies was first detected 2 weeks post inoculation with M. canis, corresponding to the period when the lesions were most severe. The titers of the ELISA antibodies reached a peak at 4 weeks; at that time the lesions had disappeared completely.

Abstract
The effect of trypsin treatment on the heparin- and receptor-binding properties of human plasma low-density lipoproteins (LDL) was examined. LDL were treated with trypsin (2% by weight) for 16 h at 37 degrees C, and the trypsinized core particles (T-LDL) were isolated by gel permeation chromatography on Sepharose CL-4B. Trypsin degraded the apolipoprotein B moiety (Mr = 550,000) of LDL into numerous peptides of Mr less than 110,000, resulting in the release of 25% +/- 5% (n = 6) of its surface-associated protein. Relative to LDL, T-LDL had an increased phospholipid/protein ratio, decreased flotation density and alpha-helical structure, and increased fluidity of the surface and core constituents. Compared to LDL, T-LDL showed a 60% decreased capacity to suppress [1-14C]acetate incorporation into cellular sterols consistent with decreased binding to the LDL receptor. In contrast, T-LDL showed an enhanced capacity to form soluble complexes with heparin in the absence and presence of 2 mM Ca2+. Between 5 and 25 mM Ca2+, both LDL and T-LDL were maximally precipitated by heparin; the stoichiometry of the insoluble complexes (uronic acid/phospholipid, w/w) was 0.054 +/- 0.004 and 0.055 +/- 0.005 (n = 18) for LDL and T-LDL, respectively. Thus, trypsin treatment significantly diminished the lipoprotein's interaction with cells but not with heparin. This finding suggests that proteolysis may decrease receptor-mediated uptake of LDL without diminishing the lipoprotein's reactivity with acellular components of the arterial wall.

Abstract
Human serum low density lipoprotein (LDL) is a large (Mr = 2-3 X 10(6), complex particle composed of lipid, protein and carbohydrate. We obtained about 40 mouse spleen-myeloma hybrid cell lines which produce antibodies against LDL. Three of them, SC2, SC3 and SC10, have been cloned and subcloned and their antibody products characterized. They recognize three non-overlapping epitopes in native LDL. Two of them, SC3 and SC10, also are capable of recognizing very low density lipoprotein, (VLDL), whereas SC2 reacts only weakly with VLDL. All three antigenic determinants remain intact, and accessible to antibodies on the LDL protein apo B, prepared by delipidation in a 'non-denaturing' detergent, sodium deoxycholate. However, apo B prepared by organic solvent, ether-ethanol, or sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) delipidation, while reacting strongly with SC10, is only poorly recognized by SC2 or SC3. Proteolysis of LDL with trypsin, chymotrypsin, Staphylococcus aureus protease, papain or thermolysin gives, in each case, several non-identical protein fragments which are separable by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Upon immunoblotting, some of these fragments are now recognized by either SC3 or SC10 but not SC2, some are recognized by both SC3 and SC10, and others are immunologically unreactive. The protein bands that are separated by SDS gel electrophoresis are composed of several non-identical fragments and contain the antigenic sites to differing degrees. Some of the immunologically reactive fragments do not appear to contain carbohydrate. Reduction and carboxymethylation do not destroy the immunoreactivity of LDL toward any of the antibodies; however, modification of lysine residues by citraconic anhydride markedly diminishes the reactivity of LDL toward SC3. It is likely that the two antibodies SC3 and SC10 are directed against different linear amino acid sequences or very stable domains, whereas the third, SC2, is directed against a more fragile conformational domain of apo B.

Abstract
A non-competitive sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitation of apolipoprotein B with polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies was developed. Polyclonal antibodies were used as 'coater'. In the assay with polyclonal antibodies, the same antibody was used as conjugate with alkaline phosphatase. For studies with monoclonal antibodies, enzyme conjugated anti-mouse immunoglobulin had to be used, since monoclonal antibodies lost their reactivity upon enzyme conjugation. Two murine monoclonal antibodies were employed: MAB B-1 with specificity for apolipoproteins (Apo) B-48 and B-100 and MAB B-5 with specificity for B-100 (Radioimmunoassay Inc.). In a reference group Apo B values of 0.82 +/- 0.20 g/l were measured with polyclonal antibodies, 0.68 +/- 0.19 g/l and 0.95 +/- 0.33 g/l with MAB B-1 and MAB B-5. In pure hypercholesterolemia, a similar increase was found with all three antibodies, while in combined hyperlipoproteinemia MAB B-5 gave greater than 40% lower values. Differences were also found with respect to the correlation between Apo B and cholesterol or triglycerides.

Abstract
The characteristics of the binding of homologous and heterologous (human) LDL to membrane preparations from porcine adrenal cortex have been determined. The membranes displayed a single class of high-affinity, saturable binding site for both 125I-labelled porcine and human LDL, which was dependent on divalent cations, in addition to a low-affinity, non-saturable component(s). Porcine LDL displaced both 125I-labelled porcine and 125I-labelled human LDLs from the high-affinity binding site more effectively than human LDL, reflecting the lower Kd, (13.2 micrograms/ml) for porcine than human (Kd 19.2 micrograms/ml) LDL. These values are comparable to those obtained for half-maximal binding of human and bovine LDLs in a bovine adrenocortical membrane system (Kovanen, P.T., Basu, S.K., Goldstein, J.L. and Brown, M.S. (1979) Endocrinology 104, 610-616). Tryptic modification of porcine LDL (T-LDL) diminished its ability to compete with 125I-labelled native LDL for the high-affinity binding site; in contrast, 125I-labelled porcine T-LDL showed an elevated receptor affinity (Kd 9.7 micrograms/ml) and was more efficiently displaced by its unlabelled counterpart than by native porcine LDL. Tryptic treatment of human LDL similarly increased its binding affinity (Kd 8.3 micrograms/ml), although in this case, the unlabelled T-LDL displaced not only 125I-labelled human T-LDL but also 125I-labelled human LDL from the high-affinity site more effectively than native LDL. We conclude that (i) porcine adrenocortical membranes possess binding sites specific for LDL and resembling the apolipoprotein B,E receptors already demonstrated in murine, bovine and human adrenal cortex; (ii) tryptic modification of porcine LDL may remove or destroy segments of apolipoprotein B100 which contribute to receptor recognition sites on the surface of the particle; (iii) trypsinised porcine LDL may interact with the membrane binding site by a mechanism differing from that by which native LDL binds, and (iv) trypsinisation of human LDL may cleave or remove species-specific segments of the B100 protein at or close to the receptor recognition site(s) on the particle, thus decreasing structural differences between porcine and human LDL, and thereby enhancing its binding affinity for the porcine receptor.

Abstract
The stoichiometry of binding of monoclonal antibodies and Fab fragments to LDL was assessed. Increasing amounts of two [125I]-labelled antibodies which define epitopes at or near the LDL-receptor recognition domains of apoB were incubated with fixed amounts of LDL and antibody-LDL complexes were separated from free antibodies by heparin-MnCl2 precipitation. Saturation kinetics were obtained and data were analyzed according to Scatchard. One antibody or Fab fragment was bound per LDL particle. Homogeneity of binding was indicated by straight Scatchard lines and by the binding of virtually all LDL particles by an antibody affinity chromatographic column.

Abstract
In order to probe the structure and function of apoB, monoclonal antibodies directed against human LDL were produced. The seven antibodies tested were found to be directed against five individual antigenic determinants of apoB in holo-LDL. One of the antibodies inhibited the binding of 125I-LDL to the apoB, E receptor of cultured human fibroblasts. Limited proteolysis of LDL results in the production of relatively stable lipoprotein "core" particles that retain many physical, chemical and immunological properties of the native lipoprotein. Perturbations of the structure of apoB by limited proteolysis of LDL had selective effects on the expression of various epitopes in the resulting LDL "cores" - the expression of some was unaffected, others were abolished. In addition, the various epitopes could be localized by immunoblotting to different proteolytic fragments of apoB present in the LDL "cores". Limited proteolysis also provided water soluble cleavage peptides, some of which exhibited immunoreactivity. Digested LDL "core" particles and cleavage peptides both interacted with the LDL receptors of cultured human fibroblasts. These experiments suggest that apoB may consist of repeating subunits of similar structure. The immunoreactivity of LDL may be determined not only by the structure of the protein moiety itself, but also by other lipoprotein constituents. Studies utilizing both polyclonal and monoclonal anti-apoB antibodies have shown that apoB reacts differently in different types of lipoprotein particles (i.e., VLDL, IDL and LDL). We studied the immunological reactivities of apoB within the LDL class. The results showed that the expression of epitopes in different LDL preparations indeed varied, and that the number of epitopes expressed, appeared to be influenced by the lipid composition of LDL.

Abstract
We have shown first, that apoB mediates the binding of small VLDL Sf 20-60 and IDL, as well as LDL, to the LDL receptor. Second, apoE of an appropriate, accessible conformation is required for the binding of large VLDL to the LDL receptor; HTG-VLDL Sf greater than 60 but not normal VLDL Sf greater than 60 have this apoE population. Third, the same population of apoE that mediates binding of HTG-VLDL Sf greater than 60 to the LDL receptor modulates its binding to the beta-VLDL receptor, but it is not required for the latter interaction. Fourth, a domain of processed apoB or apoB-48 in association with a domain of the inaccessible apoE is required for binding to and uptake by the beta-VLDL receptor. Fifth, our observations suggest that the abnormal catabolism of VLDL that occurs in hypertriglyceridemia may be explained by the abnormal uptake of HTG-VLDL by either the LDL or the beta-VLDL receptor pathway. Finally, we suggest that plasma proteases may route apoB/E-containing lipoproteins to macrophages for disposal, and this results in foam cell formation.

Abstract
Seven monoclonal antibodies to low-density lipoprotein were studied by the ELISA for their reactivity with LDL or VLDL. Cotitration experiments showed that five of them are addressed to different antigenic epitopes. Two of the monoclonal antibodies were temperature independent whereas the others had a decreased binding activity at 37 degrees C compared to that obtained at 25 degrees C or 4 degrees C, suggesting the presence of antibodies directed to sequence or conformation epitopes, respectively. All antibodies reacted with both LDL and VLDL; four of them had a higher affinity for LDL and two others for VLDL. Immunoprecipitation of LDL and/or VLDL was observed upon immunodiffusion with certain pairs of antibodies. This may allow the use of pairs of monoclonal antibodies to LDL for the quantitative determination of apolipoprotein B in serum LDL and VLDL.

Abstract
In the hope of obtaining useful probes to study the structure of human apolipoprotein B (apo B), we characterized monoclonal antibodies against low density lipoprotein (LDL). We examined the distribution of their corresponding antigenic determinants on tryptic fragments of LDL separated by monodimensional (SDS) or two-dimensional electrophoresis. Each antibody reacted with several different fragments even when the proteolysis was apparently complete. A peptide of 125,000 daltons was the smallest fragment recognized by all the antibodies. The antibody, 2D8, which cross-reacts with apo B-48 and 3A8 which blocks the LDL pathway both reacted with the same 43,000 dalton fragment. Two other antibodies, 3F5 and 4G3, previously shown to be close together in LDL, also appeared close together in the primary structure of apo B. A determinant present on apo B-26 (1D1) was dissociated from all others examined on fragments of less than 125,000. Similarities in the patterns of reactivities with LDL-tryptic fragments between certain monoclonal antibodies and the lectins Concanavalin A and Limax flavus agglutinin indicated the proximity of the corresponding antigenic determinants to carbohydrate moieties. Competition studies suggested that the two major carbohydrate chains of LDL do not participate in the determinants themselves.

Abstract
Epitope expression was studied in both denatured apolipoprotein B (apo B) on Western blots and in intact low density lipoprotein (LDL) and very low density lipoprotein subfractions VLDL1 (Sf120-400), VLDL2 (Sf60-120), and VLDL3 (Sf20-60) in competitive binding immunoassays with the aid of six monoclonal anti-LDL antibodies. The apo B in all lipoprotein fractions was shown to bind to all antibodies, but significant differences in apo B epitope expression were observed. On the average, the immunoreactivity of VLDL subfractions (expressed as binding affinity and as relative 125I-LDL displacing potency) decreased with increasing flotation rate. Similarly, VLDL1 was less immunoreactive than lipolyzed "remnants" of VLDL1 after treatment with bovine milk lipoprotein lipase. The results indicate that, even when lipoprotein fractions obtained from the same individual and having the same kind of apo B subspecies were compared, significant differences in immunoreactivity occurred due to the modulating effect of other lipoprotein components on apo B epitope expression.
