Ability of CD36 variants to bind ligand. Cells were transfected with constructs coding for CD36-wild type (A), CD36-p.Pro191Leu (B) and CD36-p.Aal252Val (C). Bound acLDL was measured by fluorescent-detection of the BODIPY fluorophore. Data points for each acLDL concentration were normalized internally for each transfection against 0μgml−1 acLDL, plotted alongside the corresponding values for an unstransfected (UT) control and best-fitted using a Langmuir adsorption isotherm equation for one-site binding. Each dataset represents the mean of three biological replicates and error bars describe standard error of the mean. Mean Kd values show no statistical difference in equilibrium binding of acLDL (D).
