This paper demonstrates that the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein is needed for the formation of the apoB containing pre-VLDL particle during and shortly after the biosynthesis of apoB. Moreover it is shown that MTP prepares pre-VLDL for its major lipidation but does not participate in this lipidation. The paper also demonstrates that the apoB containing pre-VLDL is more loosely associated with the microsomal membrane that an integral membrane protein.

J Biol Chem 1999; 274:9509-9514. In this paper, chinese hamster ovary cells have been transfected with minigenes coding for apoB 53 and microsomal triglyceride transfer protein. The authors demonstrate that under these conditions cholesterol 7-α-hydroxylase is important for the assembly and secretion of apoB 53 lipoproteins. The authors also provide evidence that microsomal triglyceride transfer protein has a dual role during the assembly process.

J Clin Invest 1999; 103:1067-1076. Genetically engineered mice with an increased lipid biosynthesis due to overexpression of an unregulated form of SREBP-1 have been crossed with LDL-receptor null mice. Using this experimental system, the authors show that the LDL receptor is of importance for the regulation of the assembly and secretion of apoB containing lipoproteins.

A common binding site on the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein for apolipoproteinB and protein disulfide isomerase. J Biol Chem 1999; 274:3159-3164. Using a combination of bacculovirus expression and site-directed mutagenesis, the authors idenitified the sites on apoB and MTP that interact. Moreover, they demonstrate that this interaction is essential for the assembly of apoB containing lipoproteins.

J Mol Biol 1999; 285:391-408. Using molecular modeling and mutagenesis, the authors show that the globular amino-terminal regions of apoB and microsomal triglyceride transfer protein are closely related in structure to the ancient egg yolk storage protein vitellogenin. Moreover, they present evidence that in the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein complex, a conserved strucutre is utilized to form a stable heterodimer with PDI.

J Clin Invest 1999; 103:1287-1298. An elegant state of the art study in which mice lacking microsomal triglyceride transfer protein in the liver were generated. Characterization of these mice demonstrates that VLDL-sized lipid droplets (i.e. the apoB-free VLDL precursor) are absent from the secretory pathway. This paper demonstrates for the first time that the assembly of the lipid core particle is dependent on microsomal triglyceride transfer protein.
