Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)], a risk factor for coronary artery disease, is a LDL-like particle with apolipoprotein (a) [apo(a)] covalently linked to apolipoprotein B (apoB). Apo(a) has many repeats of kringle 4-like domain, classified as type 1 through type 10 (T1–T10). Deletion analysis was performed to define the functional modules of human apo(a). We found that T7 has an affinity for cell surfaces and is required for Lp(a) formation. Cell surface binding was inhibited byl-proline, KI= 4.7 ± 3.6 mM (n=3). We also found that T8 has an affinity for subendothelial extracellular matrix (ECM). ECM binding was inhibited modestly byl-proline (KI= 6.1 ± 1.9 mM, n=3), and more effectively byl-lysine (KI= 2.7 ± 1.0 mM, n=3) and its analogue, 6-aminohexanoic acid (KI= 0.35 ± 0.13 mM, n=3). These data point to T7 and T8 as important functional modules of apo(a).
