The influence of apolipoprotein (apo) A-I structure on ABCA1-mediated efflux of cellular unesterified (free) cholesterol (FC) and phospholipid (PL) is not well understood. To address this issue, we used a series of apoA-I mutants to examine the contributions of various domains in the molecule to ABCA1-mediated FC and PL efflux from mouse J774 macrophages and human skin fibroblasts. Irrespective of the cell type, deletion or disruption of the C-terminal lipid-binding domain of apoA-I drastically reduced the FC and PL efflux (similar to90%), indicating that the C-terminal amphipathic alpha-helix is required for high affinity microsolubilization of FC and PL. Deletion in the N-terminal region of apoA-I also reduced the lipid efflux (similar to30%) and increased the K-m about 2-fold compared with wild type apoA-I, whereas deletion of the central domain (Delta123-166) had no effect on either K-m or V-max. These results indicate that ABCA1-mediated lipid efflux is relatively insensitive to the organization of the apoA-I N-terminal helix-bundle domain. Alterations in apoA-I structure caused parallel changes in its ability to bind to a PL bilayer and to induce efflux of FC and PL. Overall, these results are consistent with a two-step model for ABCA1-mediated lipid efflux. In the first step, apoA-I binds to ABCA1 and hydrophobic alpha-helices in the C-terminal domain of apoA-I insert into the region of the perturbed PL bilayer created by the PL transport activity of ABCA1, thereby allowing the second step of lipidation of apoA-I and formation of nascent high density lipoprotein particles to occur.
