Butyrylcholinesterase attenuates amyloid fibril formation in vitro.
In Alzheimer's disease, both acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) colocalize with brain fibrils of amyloid-beta (Abeta) peptides, and synaptic AChE-S facilitates fibril formation by association with insoluble Abeta fibrils. Here, we report that human BChE and BSP41, a synthetic peptide derived from the BChE C terminus, inversely associate with the soluble Abeta conformer...
متن کاملSurface-catalyzed amyloid fibril formation.
Light chain (or AL) amyloidosis is characterized by the pathological deposition of insoluble fibrils of immunoglobulin light chain fragments in various tissues, walls of blood vessels, and basement membranes. In the present investigation, the in vitro assembly of a recombinant amyloidogenic light chain variable domain, SMA, on various surfaces was monitored using atomic force microscopy. SMA fo...
متن کاملCollagen Fibril Formation in Vitro
We showed previously that fibril formation in vitro from rat tail tendon collagen requires a temperaturedependent initiation (Step 1) following which linear assembly to form thin filaments (Step 2) proceeds as rapidly at 4°C as at 26°C. Step 3, lateral assembly of filaments to form fibrils, is again temperature-dependent. We now find that Step 1 is complete in 6 min at 26°C and the time is inde...
متن کاملEffect of Surfaces on Amyloid Fibril Formation
Using atomic force microscopy (AFM) we investigated the interaction of amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide with chemically modified surfaces in order to better understand the mechanism of amyloid toxicity, which involves interaction of amyloid with cell membrane surfaces. We compared the structure and density of Aβ fibrils on positively and negatively charged as well as hydrophobic chemically-modified su...
متن کاملPathways and intermediates of amyloid fibril formation.
The lack of understanding of amyloid fibril formation at the molecular level is a major obstacle in devising strategies to interfere with the pathologies linked to peptide or protein aggregation. In particular, little is known on the role of intermediates and fibril elongation pathways as well as their dependence on the intrinsic tendency of a polypeptide chain to self-assembly by beta-sheet fo...
