title: Isolation and characterization of human apolipoprotein A-I Fukuoka (110 Glu----Lys). A novel apolipoprotein variant.
abstract: A novel genetic variant of apolipoprotein(apo) A-I Fukuoka, has been identified in a Japanese family. This variant has a relative charge of +2 compared to normal apolipoprotein A-I (A-I4), on the isoelectric focusing gels and the same molecular mass and immunologic characteristics as normal apolipoprotein A-I. This variant, transmitted as an autosomal co-dominant inheritance was purified by preparative Immobiline isoelectric focusing. Sequence analysis after cleavage with lysyl endopeptidase and CNBr, followed by high-performance liquid chromatography revealed a single substitution of lysine at position 110, instead of the usual glutamic acid. This mutant apolipoprotein A-I has much the same potential as to activate lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase.
