This overview on the function of LRP as the chylomicron remnant receptor summarizes the current knowledge on the interaction between apoE, LPL and hepatic lipase and the cell surface. These ligands bind to cell-surface proteoglycans first and their uptake is subsequently mediated by receptors, most probably LRP. The LRP-mediated uptake is compared in different cell lines.

J Biol Chem 1994, 269:13429-13436. The role of hepatic lipase in mediating lipoprotein binding to cells, as described in this paper, underlines the current concept that lipase binding to cells and potential receptors is mediated through an interaction with cell-surface heparan sulphate proteoglycans.

J Biol Chem 1994, 269:31747-31755. The LRP binding site has been located within residues 378-423 in human LPL. Studies performed with fragments containing these residues demonstrated that these fragments were able to inhibit the binding of LPL to LRP and LPL-mediated binding of lipoprotein to cells.

The importance of this model is that it represents the first demonstration of the function of LRP as a lipoprotein receptor in vivo. It has also shed some light on the open question of the role of the LDL receptor in remnant catabolism in vivo. The data suggest that both the LDL receptor and LRP could be involved in remnant clearance in mice.

J Biol Chem 1994, 269:13238-13243. The pathway by which chylomicron remnants are taken up in the liver is shown to be clearly inhibited by RAP. This finding is very important because it might have decisive relevance for the regulation of this pathway. The authors also demonstrate that RAP interferes not only with LRP binding but also with the binding of ligands to the LDL receptor.

J Biol Chem 1994, 269.23268-23273. The purified VLDL receptor (130kDa) bound VLDL on nitrocellulose membranes but not LDL VLDL binding was completely inhibited by RAP, and this protein also inhibited the uptake of VLDL by cells over-expressing the VLDL receptor. This suggests a common functional role for RAP in modulating ligand binding by members of the LDL receptor gene family.

J Clin Invest 1994, 93:2215-2223. Surplus rat apoE, demonstrated on the surface of hepatocytes in transgenic mice, was markedly reduced after chylomicron infusion. This indicated that chylomicrons were captured by apoE on the cell surface, and the chylomicron-apoE complex was subsequently taken up through receptor-mediated endocytosis. This mechanism could only be demonstrated for chylomicrons, but not for VLDL or LDL. It might, therefore, be an important step in the rapid clearance of chylomicron remnants.

Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 1994, 91:4431-4435. The important finding in this paper is that apoB48, a marker for chylomicrons, increases more dramatically in apoE deficiency than in LDL receptor deficiency. This means that without the LDL receptor, chylomicrons can be cleared through other receptors, most likely LRP, but the lack of apoE as a ligand cannot be easily compensated.

By using a fragment that included residues 313-448 of human LPL, the authors demonstrated that the LRP binding site was located in the carboxyl-terminal region of the protein. Site-directed mutagenesis identified residue 407 as being important for LRP binding and residues 393 and 394 as being significant for lipoprotein binding.

J Biol Chem 1994, 269:18521-18528. Functional LRP has been found in cortical neurons. In addition, the expression of RAP messenger RNA was 100-fold greater than in the liver. These results suggest that the function of LRP is tightly regulated in the brain, which indicates that it has an important role in neuronal lipoprotein metabolism.

In the chicken, both the LDL receptor and LRP occur in two distinct forms that are different in somatic tissues and in growing follicles. The 600 kDa somatic LRP has an overall identity of 83% with human LRP. The second avian LRP is detected as a 380kDa vitellogenin-binding protein in the growing follicle. The chicken model indicates that the LRP genes have emerged from an ancestor that was designed to ensure an important event in reproduction.
