Examples
-
This secretion is strictly dependent on an efficient apoB positive lipoprotein secretion pathway because, first, apoB negative epithelial Hela cells do not secrete HCV envelope proteins, second, Caco-2 cells only secrete the viral glycoproteins after having acquired the apoB synthesis and secretion capacity and, finally, inhibition of a normal lipidation of apoB with an MTP inhibitor reduced the amount of the secreted viral glycoproteins.
-
Envelope protein secretion was reduced by inhibiting the lipidation of apoB with an inhibitor of the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein.
-
In conclusion, our data demonstrate the presence of a zinc-stimulated acyltransferase activity concentrated in the endoplasmic reticulum in HEL cells which is likely to contribute to medium-chain protein lipidation.

Overproduction of DbpA or DbpB dramatically increases binding of specific antibodies to intact spirochetes Both lipidation and subsequent translocation are posttranslational processes, which determine the cellular location of a lipoprotein
