Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

How the study of LDL receptor binding by a human rhinovirus HRV2, provided support for model of LDL particle displacement should be discussed.

Concept Introduction:

LDL receptor has five domains. N terminal LDL binding domain contains seven cysteine rich repeats referred as R1 to R7. Next epidermal growth factor repeats and ß propeller module can be found. Those segments are followed by O-linked oligosaccharide, a membrane spanning segment and another segment extended towards the cytosol. LDL particles bind with R4 and R5 cysteine repeats. At low pH, the LDL receptor polypeptide folds so that ß propeller domain is associated with R4 and R5 displacing the LDL particle. These two repeats contain two loops connected by 3 disulfide bonds. Second loop of each repeat have Asp and Glu acidic residues and acts as a Ca2+ binding site.
