Amino acid sequence of an amyloidogenic Bence Jones protein in myeloma-associated systemic amyloidosis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The complete amino acid sequence of an amyloidogenic Bence Jones protein (NIG-84) from an individual with myeloma-associated systemic amyloidosis has been determined. The protein, with a blocked N-terminus, represents a complete light chain consisting of 217 residues and it has a structural feature characteristic of the V lambda II subgroup. In addition to a two-residue insertion at positions 28 and 29, it has an additional rare insertion of alanine at position 100. NIG-84 is an example of the first complete sequence presented for the amyloidogenic Bence Jones protein of the V lambda II subgroup.

Urinary Bence Jones protein and amyloid fibril protein isolated from the subcutaneous tissue of a patient with IgD myeloma and associated amyloidosis were subjected to physicochemical and immunochemical identification. Peptide maps and amino-terminal tetrapeptide composition obtained from the two proteins were comparable. Immunochemical cross-reactivity between the two proteins, with other lamb...
متن کاملSystemic AL amyloidosis mimicking rheumatoid arthritis.
We report a patient with myeloma-associated systemic AL amyloidosis who showed chronic polyarthralgia as the main symptom. The clinical picture was similar to that of rheumatoid arthritis with regard to symmetrical swelling with tenderness in multiple joints, but inflammatory reactions were almost normal and autoantibodies were negative. He was diagnosed as having systemic AL amyloidosis based ...

The authors studied two patients with idiopathic Bence Jones proteinuria (BJP) that fulfill all the criteria proposed by Kyle and Greipp. None had evidence of overt multiple myeloma, of its variants, of primary systemic amyloidosis, or of other lymphoid tumors. In a patient with kappa type idiopathic BJP an elevation of a labelling index was found when an evolving myeloma developed 2 years late...

متن کاملEffect of lysine modification on the stability and cellular binding of human amyloidogenic light chains.
AL amyloidosis is characterized by the pathologic deposition as fibrils of monoclonal light chains (i.e., Bence Jones proteins [BJPs]) in particular organs and tissues. This phenomenon has been attributed to the presence in amyloidogenic proteins of particular amino acids that cause these molecules to become unstable, as well as post-translational modifications and, in regard to the latter, we ...
