Amyloid fibril (in vitro) from full-length hnRNPA1 protein
Structural highlights
DiseaseROA1_HUMAN Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis;Inclusion body myopathy with Paget disease of bone and frontotemporal dementia. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.[1] The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.[2] FunctionROA1_HUMAN Involved in the packaging of pre-mRNA into hnRNP particles, transport of poly(A) mRNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and may modulate splice site selection. May play a role in HCV RNA replication.[3] Publication Abstract from PubMedHeterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1 (hnRNPA1) is a multifunctional RNA-binding protein that is associated with neurodegenerative diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and multisystem proteinopathy. In this study, we have used cryo-electron microscopy to investigate the three-dimensional structure of amyloid fibrils from full-length hnRNPA1 protein. We find that the fibril core is formed by a 45-residue segment of the prion-like low-complexity domain of the protein, whereas the remaining parts of the protein (275 residues) form a fuzzy coat around the fibril core. The fibril consists of two fibril protein stacks that are arranged into a pseudo-2(1) screw symmetry. The ordered core harbors several of the positions that are known to be affected by disease-associated mutations, but does not encompass the most aggregation-prone segments of the protein. These data indicate that the structures of amyloid fibrils from full-length proteins may be more complex than anticipated by current theories on protein misfolding.
