Summary: Johann Deisenhofer and his colleagues determine and study the three-dimensional structures of proteins to understand their folding, structural stability, and function. Their main experimental tool is x-ray crystallography. Extracellular Portion of the Human LDL Receptor Cholesterol is an essential component of our cell membranes. We get about one-third of the needed cholesterol from a typical Western diet; the remaining two-thirds are produced in our bodies. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is the predominant form in which cholesterol and cholesteryl esters are transported in the bloodstream; LDL also contains phospholipids, triglycerides, and one copy of apolipoprotein B. The main source of LDL is the liver, which packages cholesterol for distribution throughout the body. LDL can enter cells by receptor-mediated endocytosis, a process in which LDL receptors bind LDL at the cell surface and are enclosed into intracellular vesicles, called endosomes. Once the endosomes have formed, proton pumps generate acidic conditions in their interior (the pH drops from 7.5 to less than 6), which lead to the release of LDL from the receptor. The empty receptor molecules return to the cell surface, while LDL is decomposed and processed inside the cell.

I was born on September 30, 1943 in Zusamaltheim, Bavaria, now Federal Republic of Germany, as the first son of Thekla and Johann Deisenhofer. After my father's return from military service my parents ran the family farm. In 1948, our family grew to its final size with the birth of my only sister, Antonie. In the fall of 1965, after 18 months of military service in the German Bundeswehr, where I did not exceed the rank of private, I began to study physics at the Robert Huber At the end of 1974, when I had obtained my Ph.D. degree, Robert Huber offered me a postdoctoral position for two years which I accepted. This position was converted into a permanent position in 1976. I joined Peter M. Colman, then a postdoctoral fellow in Huber's lab, and Walter Palm from the University of Graz , Austria, in their work on the human myeloma protein Kol. After the solution of this interesting structure, I continued, together with Robert Huber, Peter Colman's work on the human Fc-fragment, and its complex with an Fc-binding fragment from protein A from Staphylococcus aureus . The refinement of these structures was finished in 1980. In the following two years I joined several projects in Robert Huber's lab: human C3a, citrate synthase, and alpha-1 -proteinase inhibitor. During all my time in Martinsried I enjoyed working with computers, and developing and maintaining crystallographic software.

Deisenhofer, Johann I was born on September 30, 1943 in Zusamaltheim, Bavaria, now Federal Republic of Germany, as the first son of Thekla and Johann Deisenhofer. After my father's return from military service my parents ran the family farm. In 1948, our family grew to its final size with the birth of my only sister, Antonie. My early youth was influenced by the environment provided by a little village that, after World War II, tried to find its way back to some kind of a normal life. Nevertheless, it was a most enjoyable place for a little boy. In 1949, I entered elementary school at Zusamaltheim, and continued to attend until 1956. According to the local custom, the oldest son was designated to take over the family's farm. However, to their great dissapointment, my parents early noticed my lack of interest in farming, and made the diffcult decision to send me away to school. My way to higher education started in 1956 at the "Knabenmittelschule HI. Kreuz", Donanwoerth, and continued 1957 to 1959 at the "Staatliche Realschule Wertingen" and 1959 to 1963 at the "Holbein Gymnasium", Augsburg. There, in 1963, I underwent the "Abitur" examination that allowed me to go to a university. I was awarded the "Stipendium für besonders Begabte" of the "Bayerische Staatsministerium für Unterricht und Kultus" which helped to lower the financial burden on my parents for my education. In the fall of 1965, after 18 months of military service in the German Bundeswehr, where I did not exceed the rank of private, I began to study physics at the Technische Universit?t München. A major reason for choosing physics was an interest in physical, especially astronomical problems, aroused by popular books on this subject. The book I most clearly remember was a popular review of the state of astronomy by Fred Hoyle, describing the impact of modern physics on astronomy, and the recent achievements and open questions in that field.
