Editorial: Protein Solubility and Aggregation in Bacteria
For many years, the aggregation of proteins and polypeptides remained a neglected area of protein chemistry. It was only with the discovery that the insoluble deposits found in the organs and tissues of patients suffering from different diseases were enriched in a single, but different polypeptide, that the interest in understanding how and why these proteins aggregate arose (Fernàndez-Busquets...
متن کاملIv. Protein Interactions Aggregation of Globular Proteins
Many globular proteins are known to polymerize. It is pointed out that a monomer protein molecule containing a single polypeptide chain is asymmetric, and that a single pair of complementary combining regions on such a molecule would permit it to attach itself to equivalent molecules in such a way as to form a helical structure, giving rise to fibrils. If the pitch of the helix is zero or nearl...
متن کاملSequence determinants of protein aggregation: tools to increase protein solubility
Escherichia coli is one of the most widely used hosts for the production of recombinant proteins. However, very often the target protein accumulates into insoluble aggregates in a misfolded and biologically inactive form. Bacterial inclusion bodies are major bottlenecks in protein production and are hampering the development of top priority research areas such structural genomics. Inclusion bod...
متن کاملComparison of the aggregation of homologous β2-microglobulin variants reveals protein solubility as a key determinant of amyloid formation.
The mouse and human β2-microglobulin protein orthologs are 70% identical in sequence and share 88% sequence similarity. These proteins are predicted by various algorithms to have similar aggregation and amyloid propensities. However, whilst human β2m (hβ2m) forms amyloid-like fibrils in denaturing conditions (e.g. pH2.5) in the absence of NaCl, mouse β2m (mβ2m) requires the addition of 0.3M NaC...
متن کاملAmyloid Fibril Solubility.
It is well established that amyloid fibril solubility is protein specific, but how solubility depends on the interactions between the fibril building blocks is not clear. Here we use a simple protein model and perform Monte Carlo simulations to directly measure the solubility of amyloid fibrils as a function of the interaction between the fibril building blocks. Our simulations confirms that th...
