Apolipoprotein A-II alters the proteome of human lipoproteins and enhances cholesterol efflux from ABCA1

Journal of Lipid Research, 2017
HDLs are a family of heterogeneous particles that vary in size, composition, and function. The structure of most HDLs is maintained by two scaffold proteins, apoA-I and apoA-II, but up to 95 other “accessory” proteins have been found associated with the ...

Elucidating the Genetic Basis of Columnar Upright Architecture in Populus Through CRISPR Disruption of TILLER ANGLE CONTROL1

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Narrow or upright branch angles in shoots and leaves lead to columnar, upright‐growing tree architectures, as observed in various tree species such as Lombardy poplar (Populus nigra var. italica). However, the genetic mechanism underlying this unique growth habit in Lombardy poplar has not yet been elucidated.

Apolipoprotein A-I activates Cdc42 signaling through the ABCA1 transporter

Journal of Lipid Research, 2006
It has been suggested that the signal transduction initiated by apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) activates key proteins involved in cholesterol efflux. ABCA1 serves as a binding partner for apoA-I, but its participation in apoA-I-induced signaling remains ...

Role of platelet-derived growth factor B in cholesterol and glucose metabolism [PDF]

, 2017
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGFB) is a critical molecule for recruiting pericytes. Due to the fundamental role of the pericytes in angiogenesis and vascular stability, PDGFB knockout mice die perinatally from severe hemorrhage and edema.

Transmembrane Protein GbTMEM209 Inhibits Fibre Elongation via Competitive Interaction With GbHOX3 in Gossypium barbadense

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sea Island cotton (Gossypium barbadense) produces premium‐quality fibres, yet the genetic basis underlying its fibre development remains elusive. Here, we identify two key non‐synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs, G/C and G/A) in the gene Gbar_D13G024080, which encodes the TRANSMEMBRANE PROTEIN 209 (TMEM209). These SNPs resulted in

Nascent HDL formation by hepatocytes is reduced by the concerted action of serum amyloid A and endothelial lipase

Journal of Lipid Research, 2011
Inflammation is associated with significant decreases in plasma HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) and apoA-I levels. Endothelial lipase (EL) is known to be an important determinant of HDL-C in mice and in humans and is upregulated during inflammation.

The Zinc Finger Protein 202 (ZNF202) Is a Transcriptional Repressor of ATP Binding Cassette Transporter A1 (ABCA1) and ABCG1 Gene Expression and a Modulator of Cellular Lipid Efflux*

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2001
The zinc finger gene 202 (ZNF202) located within a hypoalphalipoproteinemia susceptibility locus on chromosome 11q23 is a transcriptional repressor of various genes involved in lipid metabolism.
