We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

beta2-Microglobulin (beta2m) is the non-covalently bound light chain of the human class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC-I). The natural turnover of MHC-I gives rise to the release of beta2m into plasmatic fluids and to its catabolism in the kidney. beta2m dissociation from the heavy chain of the complex is a severe complication in patients receiving prolonged hemodialysis. As a consequence of renal failure, the increasing beta2m concentrations can lead to deposition of the protein as amyloid fibrils. Here we characterize the His31--&gt;Tyr human beta2m mutant, a non-natural form of beta2m that is more stable than the wild-type protein, displaying a ten-fold acceleration of the slow phase of folding. We report the 2.9A resolution crystal structure and the NMR characterization of the mutant beta2m, focussing on selected structural features and on the molecular packing observed in the crystals. Juxtaposition of the four mutant beta2m molecules contained in the crystal asymmetric unit, and specific hydrogen bonds, stabilize a compact protein assembly. Conformational heterogeneity of the four independent molecules, some of their mutual interactions and partial unpairing of the N-terminal beta-strand in one protomer are in keeping with the amyloidogenic properties displayed by the mutant beta2m.
