ABSTRACT
In reconstituted high-density lipoproteins, apolipoprotein A-I and phosphatidylcholines combine to form disks in which the amphipathic alpha-helices of apolipoprotein A-1 bind to the edge of a lipid bilayer core, shielding the hydrophic lipid tails from the aqueous environment. We have employed experimental data, sequence analysis, and molecular modeling to construct an atomic model of such a reconstituted high-density lipoprotein disk consisting of two apolipoprotein A-I proteins and 160 palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylcholine lipids. The initial globular domain (1-47) of apolipoprotein A-I was excluded from the model, which was hydrated with an 8-A shell of water molecules. Molecular dynamics and simulated annealing were used to test the stability of the model. Both head-to-tail and head-to-head forms of a reconstituted high-density lipoprotein were simulated. In our simulations the protein contained and adhered to the lipid bilayer while providing good coverage of the lipid tails.
