Abstract: A truncated form of α' chain (tα'), the soybean 7S globulin, active in controlling the cholesterol and triglyceride homeostasis in  in vitro  and  in vivo  models, was cloned and expressed in the yeast  Pichia pastoris.  The recombinant polypeptide spanned 216 amino acid residues from the N-terminal side and included the N-terminal extension region of the soybean subunit. The tα' polypeptide was purified by conventional biochemical techniques and its potential to modulate the activity of the LDL-receptor was evaluated in a human hepatoma cell line (Hep G2) by monitoring the uptake and degradation of labeled LDL. The LDL uptake (+ 192%) and degradation (+ 143%) by cells tested at the highest tα' dose (8 µM) were similar to those found in cells incubated with 1 µM simvastatin, a potent inhibitor of cholesterol biosynthesis. The cell response to tα' was found to be dose-dependent.
