Default Solid-state NMR analysis of the ?-strand orientation of the protofibrils of amyloid ?-protein

Solid-state NMR analysis of the ?-strand orientation of the protofibrils of amyloid ?-protein

30 November 2012
Publication year: 2012
Source:Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, Volume 428, Issue 4



Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is caused by abnormal deposition (fibrillation) of a 42-residue amyloid ?-protein (A?42) in the brain. During the process of fibrillation, the A?42 takes the form of protofibrils with strong neurotoxicity, and is thus believed to play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of AD. To elucidate the supramolecular structure of the A?42 protofibrils, the intermolecular proximity of the Ala-21 residues in the A?42 protofibrils was analyzed by 13C–13C rotational resonance experiments in the solid state. Unlike the A?42 fibrils, an intermolecular 13C–13C correlation was not found in the A?42 protofibrils. This result suggests that the ?-strands of the A?42 protofibrils are not in an in-register parallel orientation. A?42 monomers would assemble to form protofibrils with the ?-strand conformation, then transform into fibrils by forming intermolecular parallel ?-sheets.
Highlights

? The supramolecular structure of A?42 protofibrils was analyzed by solid-state NMR. ? The Ala-21 residue in the A?42 protofibrils is included in a slightly disordered ?-strand. ? The A?42 protofibrils do not form intermolecular in-register parallel ?-sheets.

Solid-state NMR of amyloid membrane interactions.
Solid-state NMR of amyloid membrane interactions. Solid-state NMR of amyloid membrane interactions. Methods Mol Biol. 2011;752:165-77 Authors: Gehman JD, Separovic F Solid-state NMR pulse sequences often feature fewer pulses and delays than the more common solution NMR experiments. This ostensible simplicity, however, belies the care with which experimental parameters must be determined, as solid-state NMR can be much less forgiving of improper experimental set-up. This is especially true of "semi-solid" samples, such as the phospholipid vesicles...

Solid-State NMR Studies of Amyloid Fibril Structure. Solid-State NMR Studies of Amyloid Fibril Structure. Annu Rev Phys Chem. 2010 Apr 2; Authors: Tycko R Current interest in amyloid fibrils stems from their involvement in neurodegenerative and other diseases and from their role as an alternative structural state for many peptides and proteins. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods have the unique capability of providing detailed structural constraints for amyloid fibrils, sufficient for the development of full molecular models.
