PROTEIN AGGREGATION AND ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE. CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF THE PHENOMENON. ENGINEERED VERSION OF THE RIBOSOMAL PROTEIN S6 USED AS A STABLE SCAFFOLD TO STUDY OLIGOMERIZATION.
Overview
Limited solubility and precipitation of amyloidogenic sequences such as, the Alzheimer peptide (beta-AP) are major obstacles to a molecular, understanding of protein fibrillation and deposition processes. Here we, have circumvented the solubility problem by stepwise engineering a beta-AP, homology into a soluble scaffold, the monomeric protein S6. The S6, construct with the highest beta-AP homology crystallizes as a tetramer, that is linked by the beta-AP residues forming intermolecular antiparallel, beta-sheets. This construct also shows increased coil aggregation during, refolding, and a 14-mer peptide encompassing the engineered sequence forms, fibrils. Mutational analysis shows that intermolecular association is, linked to the overall hydrophobicity of the sticky sequence and implies, ... [(full description)]
