 The Heme and Chlorophyll Biosynthetic Pathways
An apoprotein moves to that location in the unfolded state, picks up a complement of MV Chl a and/or MV Chl b, and undergoes appropriate folding.
Apoproteins destined to some of the biosynthesis subcenters may possess specific signals for specific Chl biosynthetic enzymes peculiar to that subcenter, such as 4-vinyl reductases, formyl synthetases or Chl a and Chl b synthetases.
Once an apoprotein formed in the cytoplasm or in the plastid reaches its biosynthesis subcenter destination and its signal is split off, it binds nascent Chl formed via one or more biosynthetic routes.

The Apoprotein E 3/3 (about 62% of the population) person may have a modestly beneficial response to a low fat diet, but also, may have no response.
The Apoprotein E 2/2 (1% of the population) person should never be placed on a low fat diet.

Endogenous PhyA apoprotein was visualized by immunolabeling cryosections of pea tissue, using PhyA apoprotein-deficient mutants as negative controls.
In apical hook cells of etiolated seedlings, PhyA apoprotein immunolabeling was distributed diffusely in the cytosol.
The results from this study indicated that the light-induced intracellular location of PhyA apoprotein was wavelength dependent and implied that this was important for PhyA activity.

 Bioluminescence and Secondary Structure Properties of Aequorin Mutants Produced for Site-Specific Conjugation and ...
The apoprotein of aequorin binds an imidazopyrazine compound (coelenterazine) and molecular oxygen to form a stable photoprotein complex.
A bioluminescence emission study was performed to determine if the mutant proteins had retained the same flash-type emission characteristics of native aequorin and to compare the mutants containing a specifically placed cysteine residue with mutant S (Figure 2).
Since the apoprotein contains only a single serine residue (position 5 in the polypeptide chain) that is not part of a critical region within the protein, replacement of this serine with cysteine was the only conservative mutation possible.

 NEJM -- Apoprotein A-I synthesis in normal intestinal mucosa and in Tangier disease
To determine whether human small intestine synthesizes apoA-I, the major apoprotein of plasma high-density lipoproteins, we used immunofluorescence technics and monospecific antiserums to visualize apoA-I within intestinal epithelial cells from four normal subjects and one patient with Tangier disease.
Normal plasma chylomicrons contained apoB, apoE and the C peptides but not apoA-I. The patient's chylomicrons contained ap0A-I. Normal and Tangier-disease intestinal-mucosa cells increase their content of apoA-I during chylomicron formation and subsequently contribute to plasma apoA-I levels.
The low levels of apoA-I in Tangier disease are not due to a failure of intestinal synthesis but might be due to abnormal metabolism of chylomicron apoproteins.

 Le Magazine, May 2006 - Report: New Blood Test Better Predicts Heart Attack Risk
It can be measured directly as LDL particle number by the nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy method or indirectly as apoprotein B, which is a more widely available method.
Apoprotein B is the major protein particle of LDL, with a single protein per LDL particle.
Apoprotein B thus provides a “count” of LDL particles.

 Heme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heme B is the most abundant heme; both hemoglobin and myoglobin are examples of oxygen transport proteins that contain heme B and the peroxidase family of enzymes also contain heme B. The COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes (cyclooxygenase) of recent fame, also contain heme B at one of two active sites.
Generally, heme B is attached to the surrounding protein matrix (known as the apoprotein) through a single coordination bond between the heme iron and an amino acid side-chain.
Heme A differs from heme B in that a methyl side chain at ring position 8 is oxidized into a formyl group, and one of the vinyl side chains, at ring position 2, has been replaced by an isoprenoid chain.

Serum LDL cholesterol and cholesterol absorption efficiency are influenced by apoprotein B and E polymorphism and by the presence of the FH-Helsinki mutation of the LDL receptor gene in familial hypercholesterolemia.
Intestinal cholesterol absorption efficiency in man is related to apoprotein E phenotype.

 Medical Dictionary: Apoprotein E deficiency - WrongDiagnosis.com - WrongDiagnosis.com
Apoprotein E deficiency: A rather uncommon form of familial hyperlipemia characterized by the presence of lipoproteins of abnormal composition.
The main abnormal lipoproteins are called beta-VLDL and have a different apoprotein content and a higher proportion of cholesterol relative to triglyceride than normal VLDL.

 Lipoproteins
differ in the ratio of protein to lipids, and in the particular apoproteins and lipids that they contain, as summarized in Table 12-6 p.
MTP facilitates transfer of lipids to apoprotein B-100 while B-100 is being translocated into the ER lumen during translation.
Whereas VLDL contains 5 different apoprotein types (B-100, C-I, C-II, C-III, and E), only one protein, apoprotein B-100, is associated with the surface monolayer of LDL.
