Oxidation of Met148 disrupts the central loop-like structure and affects the conformation of apoA-I. Modifying Met148 might disrupt the proper alignment of the hydrophobic face of repeat 6 in apoA-I, and then disrupt the maintenance and stability of the helix-bilayer and helix-helix interactions, which are key structural requirements for LCAT activation.
