Abstract

Apolipoprotein A-IV (apo A-IV) is present in plasma associated to both HDL and as a complex with lipids that cannot be flotated by ultracentrifugation at 1.21 g/ml density. Apo A-IV is likely an important molecular determinant in HDL binding to the liver. In this communication, data are presented supporting the view that a specific liver plasma membrane protein of Mr 95000 is a constituent of the apo A-IV binding site. The protein was solubilized with CHAPS from purified rat liver plasma membranes and subjected to SDS-PAGE. Transblotted to nitrocellulose sheet could be identified as recognizing 125I-apo A-IV-DMPC by autoradiography. 125I-apo A-I-DMPC and radioiodinated rat apo E-poor HDL, also bound to the protein. Apo B-100 (as human LDL) and apo C-III did not bind. The protein identified is likely to be the same that has been previously identified by Graham and Oram ((1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 7439-7442) as 'HDL receptor protein'.
