Polymorphisms β2-glycoprotein. I: phospholipid binding and multimeric structure

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
The normal cardiolipin binding in heterozygous state for mutations at phospholipid-binding domain may be due to the multimeric structure of beta2-glycoprotein I, which is found in plasma at a concentration of approximately 200 microg/ml.

Current concepts on the pathogenesis of the antiphospholipid syndrome.

TL;DR: This review critically examines the experimental evidence underlying the various propositions made to explain how antiphospholipid antibodies may predispose to disease in humans and examines the evidence relating to the immunologic mechanisms that may contribute to the breakage of peripheral tolerance in this disorder.

TLR2 Is One of the Endothelial Receptors for β2-Glycoprotein I

TL;DR: The data demonstrate that direct binding of β2- gpI on EC surface occurs through direct interaction with TLR2, and signaling for anti–β2-gpI may be envisioned as a multiprotein complex concentrated in lipid rafts on the EC membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasma Protein β-2-Glycoprotein 1 Mediates Interaction between the Anti-tumor Monoclonal Antibody 3G4 and Anionic Phospholipids on Endothelial Cells

TL;DR: 3G4 targets tumor EC by increasing the avidity of β2 GP1 for anionic phospholipids through formation of multivalent 3G4-β2GP1 complexes, which indicates that antibody binding to PS is dependent on plasma protein β-2-glycoprotein 1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phagocytosis of platelet microvesicles and β2– glycoprotein I

TL;DR: It is suggested that the binding of beta2-glycoprotein I to phosphatidylserine-expressing procoagulant platelet microvesicles may promote their clearance by phagocytosis and autoantibodies to beta2 -glycop protein I may inhibit this process to induce a procoAGulant state.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of phospholipids on the formation of immune complexes between autoantibodies and β2-glycoprotein I or prothrombin

TL;DR: There is now strong evidence that formation of bivalent, trimolecular immune complexes at the lipid membrane essentially contributes to the binding of intrinsically low affinity patient antibodies.

Use of resonance energy-transfer to monitor membrane-fusion

TL;DR: An assay for vesicle--vesicle fusion involving resonance energy transfer between N-(7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl), the energy donor, and rhodamine, the energy acceptor has been developed.

Target-sensitive immunoliposomes- preparation and characterization

TL;DR: Dioleoylphosphatidylcholine immunoliposomes were not lysed upon contact with infected cells under the same conditions, indicating that PE was essential for the target-specific liposome destabilization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Complete amino acid sequence of human plasma beta 2-glycoprotein I

TL;DR: Computerized analysis of the sequence reveals five consecutive homologous segments in which cysteine, proline, and tryptophan appear to be highly conserved, which suggests that beta 2-glycoprotein I may have evolved by repeated duplications of a gene coding for a 60-amino acid segment of protein.
Journal ArticleDOI

Complete nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence of human beta 2-glycoprotein I.

TL;DR: The nucleotide and complete amino acid sequence for the human beta 2-glycoprotein I (beta 2I) was derived by sequencing the cDNA clone pB2I-1 as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Beta 2 glycoprotein I is a major protein associated with very rapidly cleared liposomes in vivo, suggesting a significant role in the immune clearance of "non-self" particles.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the amount of β2-glycoprotein I associated with liposomes, as quantitated by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, is correlated with their clearance rates; moreover, the circulation residency time of cardiolipin-containing liposome is extended in mice pretreated with anti-β2- Glycop protein I antibodies.
