Competitive displacement of lipoprotein lipase from heparan sulfate is orchestrated by a disordered acidic cluster in GPIHBP1 by Anamika Biswas, Samina Arshid, Kristian Kølby Kristensen, Thomas J.D. Jørgensen, Michael Ploug

“…Acidic residues at positions 19–30 in GPIHBP1 mapped to Lys445, Lys441, Lys414, and Lys407 close to the interface between the C- and N-terminal domains in LPL. Modeling this interface revealed widespread polyelectrolyte interactions spanning both LPL domains, which explains why the acidic tail stabilizes LPL activity and protein conformation. …”
