Data for ion and seed dependent fibril assembly of a spidroin core domain
نویسندگان
چکیده
This data article includes size exclusion chromatography data of soluble eADF4(C16), an engineered spider silk variant based on the core domain sequence of the natural dragline silk protein ADF4 of Araneus diadematus, in combination with light scattering; the protein is monomeric before assembly. The assembled mature fibrils were visualized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Sonicated fibrils were used as seeds to by-pass the nucleation lag phase in eADF4(C16) assembly. We also provide data on the sedimentation kinetics of spider silk in the presence of different NaCl concentrations revealing very slow protein aggregation in comparison to the fast assembly triggered by phosphate ions published previously [1]. Experiments in the Data article represent supporting material for our work published recently [1], which described the assembly mechanism of recombinant eADF4(C16) fibrils.

Mass spectrometry captures structural intermediates in protein fiber self-assembly
No protein assembly matches the combined strength and extensibility of spider silk, consequently it bears great promise for biomedical applications. Its primary constituents are spidroins, proteins with a highly repetitive amino acid sequence flanked by small Nand C-terminal non-repetitive domains. The structure of the silk fiber consists of poly-alanine stretches in the repetitive regions whic...
متن کاملMechanism of amyloidogenesis: nucleation-dependent fibrillation versus double-concerted fibrillation.
Amyloidogenesis defines a condition in which a soluble and innocuous protein turns to insoluble protein aggregates known as amyloid fibrils. This protein suprastructure derived via chemically specific molecular self-assembly process has been commonly observed in various neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Prion diseases. Although the major culprit for the cellular ...
متن کاملThe correlation between the length of repetitive domain and mechanical properties of the recombinant flagelliform spidroin
Spider silk is an attractive biopolymer with numerous potential applications due to its remarkable characteristics. Among the six categories of spider silks, flagelliform (Flag) spider silk possesses longer and more repetitive core domains than others, therefore performing the highest extensibility. To investigate the correlation between the recombinant spidroin size and the synthetic fiber pro...
