AMYLOIDOGENIC VARIANT (I56T) VARIANT OF HUMAN LYSOZYME
Contents |
Overview
Tissue deposition of soluble proteins as amyloid fibrils underlies a range, of fatal diseases. The two naturally occurring human lysozyme variants are, both amyloidogenic, and are shown here to be unstable. They aggregate to, form amyloid fibrils with transformation of the mainly helical native, fold, observed in crystal structures, to the amyloid fibril cross-beta, fold. Biophysical studies suggest that partly folded intermediates are, involved in fibrillogenesis, and this may be relevant to amyloidosis, generally.
Disease
Known diseases associated with this structure: Amyloidosis, renal OMIM:[153450], Microphthalmia, syndromic 1 OMIM:[309800]
