Site-Specific Identification of an Aβ Fibril–Heparin Interaction Site by Using Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy**
At the surface of Aβ(1-40) amyloid fibrils that have a threefold molecular symmetry (green in the left picture) a site of interaction of the glycosaminoglycan analogue heparin (blue) was identified. The binding site consists of residues at the N terminus and the turn regions defining the apices of the triangular geometry. Heparin has a lower affinity for Aβ(1-40) fibrils having twofold molecula...
متن کاملInsights into the amyloid folding problem from solid-state NMR.
Amyloid fibrils are filamentous aggregates, with typical diameters of 10 nm and lengths on the order of microns, formed by a large class of peptides and proteins with disparate sequences and with molecular masses ranging from less than 1 kDa to tens of kilodaltons. Figure 1 shows typical amyloid fibrils as they appear in electron microscopy (EM)1 measurements. Current interest in amyloid fibril...
متن کاملAmyloid Fibril Formation by Aβ16-22, a Seven-Residue Fragment of the Alzheimer’s β-Amyloid Peptide, and Structural Characterization by Solid State NMR
The seven-residue peptide N-acetyl-Lys-Leu-Val-Phe-Phe-Ala-Glu-NH2, called Aβ16-22 and representing residues 16 through 22 of the full-length β-amyloid peptide associated with Alzheimer’s disease, is shown by electron microscopy to form highly ordered fibrils upon incubation of aqueous solutions. X-ray powder diffraction and optical birefringence measurements confirm that these are amyloid fibr...
متن کاملAn Amyloid Organelle: Solid State NMR Evidence for Cross-Beta Assembly of Gas Vesicles
The MIT Faculty has made this article openly available. Please share how this access benefits you. Your story matters. Background: The gas vesicles of aquatic microorganisms are hollow proteinaceous shells with remarkable physical properties that enable them to function as floatation organelles. Result: The gas vesicle subunits associate in a cross-beta arrangement. Conclusion: The gas vesicle ...
متن کاملAn amyloid organelle, solid-state NMR evidence for cross-β assembly of gas vesicles.
Functional amyloids have been identified in a wide range of organisms, taking on a variety of biological roles and being controlled by remarkable mechanisms of directed assembly. Here, we report that amyloid fibrils constitute the ribs of the buoyancy organelles of Anabaena flos-aquae. The walls of these gas-filled vesicles are known to comprise a single protein, GvpA, arranged in a low pitch h...
