One potential mechanism by which apolipoprotein (apo) B secretion is regulated is via transient pausing during translocation across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. We have previously shown that translocation and secretion of full-length and truncated variants of apoB 100 are impaired in hepatocytes in which microsomal membranes are enriched in the phospholipid phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine (PMME). We have now investigated whether or not the decreased translocation of apoB is the result of altered membrane lipid composition having an impact on translocational pausing. Our experiments showed that less in vitro translated apoB-15 (the N-terminal 15% of human apoB-100) was translocated into the lumen of PMME-enriched microsomes than of control microsomes. Proteinase K treatment of the translocation products yielded discrete N-terminal fragments of apoB indicating that both types of microsomal membranes contained translocationally paused nascent chains. Similarly, apoB generated from a truncated mRNA lacking a stop codon was also found to be translocationally paused. However, restarting of translocation after translocational pausing was impaired in PMME-enriched, but not in control, microsomes.

These data suggest that secretion of apoB-containing lipoproteins can be regulated by membrane lipid composition at the level of translocational pausing.—Rusiñol, A. E., R. S. Hegde, S. L. Chuck, V. R. Lingappa, and J. E. Vance. Translocation pausing of apolipoprotein B can be regulated by membrane lipid composition. J. Lipid Res. 1998. 39: 1287–1294.

Supplementary key words: apolipoprotein B, translocation, VLDL, secretion, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, translocational pausing
