SAA remodels phospholipid bilayers into small particles that form substrates for sPLA2.

(A) POPC MLV (~200 nm) were incubated with SAA at 25°C, and the time course of MLV remodeling into smaller particles was monitored by turbidty at 350 nm. Protein:lipid molar ratios were 1:10, 1:50 …

Effect of SAA on the lipolysis of HDL and LDL by sPLA2-III or sPLA2-IIa.

(A, B) FFA were generated upon lipolysis of either native HDL or SAA-HDL. For SAA-HDL, the SEC fraction containing HDL-bound proteins (Sec Fr) was isolated from the total incubation mixtures, which …

SAA forms complexes with hydrolyzed model or plasma lipids.

(A) SAA was incubated with either unmodified POPC to form SAA-POPC complexes or with hydrolyzed POPC to form SAA + hydPOPC complexes (see 'Materials and methods' for details). Protein:POPC molar …
