Journal ArticleDOI

The degradation of apolipoprotein B100 is mediated by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway and involves heat shock protein 70.

TL;DR: It is shown that increasing the expression of Hsp70 in HepG2 cells promotes apoB degradation and is the first example of a wild-type mammalian protein whose secretion is regulated by degradation in the cytosol via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

The triple threat to nascent apolipoprotein B. Evidence for multiple, distinct degradative pathways.

TL;DR: F nascent apoB is subject to ER-associated degradation, re-uptake, and a third distinct degradative pathway that appears to target lipoproteins after considerable assembly and involves a post-ER compartment and PI3K signaling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Apoprotein B100 has a prolonged interaction with the translocon during which its lipidation and translocation change from dependence on the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein to independence

TL;DR: The data imply that during most of its association with the endoplasmic reticulum, apoB100 is close to or within the translocon and is accessible to both the ubiquitin-proteasome and lipoprotein-assembly pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Co-translational Interactions of Apoprotein B with the Ribosome and Translocon during Lipoprotein Assembly or Targeting to the Proteasome

TL;DR: It is shown that independent of lipid synthesis, apoB chains that appear full-length are, in fact, incompletely translated polypeptides still engaged by the ribosome and associated with the ER translocon, and unlike other ER substrates of the proteasome, apiB does not fully retrotranslocate to the cytosol before entering the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effects of n-3 fatty acids on the secretion of carboxyl-terminally truncated forms of human apoprotein B.

TL;DR: The ability of the n-3 fatty acids to promote apoB degradation correlated with the degree of lipidation of the secreted ApoB, consistent with specialized intracellular pathways for the degradation of apoBs and the assembly of buoyant, apo B-containing lipoproteins.
