[[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/LDLR_HUMAN LDLR_HUMAN]] Defects in LDLR are the cause of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/143890 143890]]; a common autosomal semi-dominant disease that affects about 1 in 500 individuals. The receptor defect impairs the catabolism of LDL, and the resultant elevation in plasma LDL-cholesterol promotes deposition of cholesterol in the skin (xanthelasma), tendons (xanthomas), and coronary arteries (atherosclerosis).<ref>PMID:3263645</ref> <ref>PMID:2569482</ref> <ref>PMID:3955657</ref> <ref>PMID:8347689</ref> <ref>PMID:2318961</ref> <ref>PMID:1446662</ref> <ref>PMID:1867200</ref> <ref>PMID:8462973</ref> <ref>PMID:8168830</ref> <ref>PMID:2726768</ref> <ref>PMID:1464748</ref> <ref>PMID:7573037</ref> <ref>PMID:7583548</ref> <ref>PMID:7550239</ref> <ref>PMID:7635461</ref> <ref>PMID:7635482</ref> <ref>PMID:7649546</ref> <ref>PMID:7649549</ref> <ref>PMID:8740918</ref> <ref>PMID:8664907</ref> <ref>PMID:9026534</ref> <ref>PMID:9254862</ref> <ref>PMID:9143924</ref> <ref>PMID:9259195</ref> <ref>PMID:9104431</ref> <ref>PMID:9654205</ref> <ref>PMID:9452094</ref> <ref>PMID:9452095</ref> <ref>PMID:9452118</ref> <ref>PMID:10206683</ref> <ref>PMID:10660340</ref> [:]<ref>PMID:9852677</ref> <ref>PMID:9678702</ref> <ref>PMID:10422803</ref> <ref>PMID:10090484</ref> <ref>PMID:10447263</ref> <ref>PMID:10978268</ref> <ref>PMID:10980548</ref> <ref>PMID:10882754</ref> <ref>PMID:11298688</ref> <ref>PMID:17142622</ref> <ref>PMID:19319977</ref> <ref>PMID:22160468</ref>

[[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/LDLR_HUMAN LDLR_HUMAN]] Binds LDL, the major cholesterol-carrying lipoprotein of plasma, and transports it into cells by endocytosis. In order to be internalized, the receptor-ligand complexes must first cluster into clathrin-coated pits. In case of HIV-1 infection, functions as a receptor for extracellular Tat in neurons, mediating its internalization in uninfected cells.

Hypercholesterolemia, high serum cholesterol in the form of LDL, is a major risk factor for atherosclerosis. LDL is mostly degraded in the liver after its cellular internalization with the LDL receptor (LDLR). This clathrin-mediated endocytosis depends on the protein autosomal recessive hypercholesterolemia (ARH), which binds the LDLR cytoplasmic tail. Mutations in either the LDLR tail or in ARH lead to hypercholesterolemia and premature atherosclerosis. Despite the significance of this interaction for cholesterol homeostasis, no structure of either ARH or the LDLR tail is available to determine its molecular basis. We report the crystal structure at 1.37-A resolution of the phosphotyrosine-binding (PTB) domain of ARH in complex with an LDLR tail peptide containing the FxNPxY(0) internalization signal. Surprisingly, ARH interacts with a longer portion of the tail than previously recognized, which extends to I(-7)xF(-5)xNPxY(0)QK(+2). The LDLR tail assumes a unique "Hook"-like structure with a double beta-turn conformation, which is accommodated in distinctive ARH structural determinants (i.e., an extended backbone hydrogen-bonding platform, three hydrophobic helical grooves, and a hydrophobic pocket for Y(0)). This unique complementarity differs significantly in related PTB proteins and may account for the unique physiological role of these partners in the hepatic uptake of cholesterol LDL. Moreover, the unusual hydrophobic pocket for Y(0) explains the distinctive ability of ARH to internalize proteins containing either FxNPxY(0) or FxNPxF(0) sequences. Biophysical measurements reveal how mutations associated with hypercholesterolemia destabilize ARH and its complex with LDLR and illuminate LDL internalization defects seen in patients.
