The interaction of bovine A-I apolipoprotein with sonicated vesicles of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine containing various molar ratios of cholesterol was investigated in this work. Complexes prepared at 37°C were isolated by gel filtration on Sepharose 4B columns. Stoichiometries were obtained and intrinsic fluorescence and circular dichroism spectral properties were determined for the purified complexes. Fluidity changes of the lipid domains were probed by measuring the fluorescence polarization of the fluorescent lipophilic probe diphenylhexatriene dissolved in the complexes. Apolipoprotein A-I forms “small” breakdown complexes from vesicles of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine containing up to 33 mol % cholesterol. These complexes are of the general size of high density serum lipoproteins and all have similar shapes. At cholesterol contents exceeding 37 mol %, there is no interaction of lipid vesicles with the apolipoprotein. It is likely that structural changes occur in the vesicles at this cholesterol content which prevent complex formation. All the complexes of apolipoprotein A-I with dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine and cholesterol contain the same molar ratio of phospholipid to protein (95:1), but they are enriched in phospholipid over cholesterol relative to the lipid ratios in the parent vesicles. These results, together with the observation that the protein spectral properties of complexes with or without cholesterol are very similar, strongly suggest that the lipid layer adjacent to the protein is exclusively phospholipid. The mobility of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine in the complexes with apolipoprotein A-I is progressively and markedly restricted by the presence of cholesterol, indicating that cholesterol has a similar condensing effect in these complexes as in phospbolipid bilayers.
