SAA fibrils involved in AA amyloidosis are similar in bulk and by single particle reconstitution: A MAS solid-state NMR study

AA amyloidosis is one of the most prevalent forms of systemic amyloidosis and affects both humans and other vertebrates. In this study, we compare MAS solid-state NMR data with a recent cryo-EM study of fibrils involving full-length murine SAA1.1. We address the question whether the specific requirements for the reconstitution of an amyloid fibril structure by cryo-EM can potentially yield a bias towards a particular fibril polymorph. We employ fibril seeds extracted from in to vivo material to...
