Abstract

We report for the first time, to our knowledge, that the N-terminal loop (N_loop) of amylin (islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) residues 1-8) forms extremely long and stable non-β-sheet fibers in solution under the same conditions in which human amylin (hIAPP) forms amyloid fibers. This observation applies to the cyclic, oxidized form of the N_loop but not to the linear, reduced form, which does not form fibers. Our findings indicate a potential role of direct N_loop-N_loop interactions in hIAPP aggregation, which has not been previously explored, with important implications for the mechanism of hIAPP amyloid fiber formation, the inhibitory action of IAPP variants, and the competition between ordered and disordered aggregation in peptides of the calcitonin peptide family.

摘要

我们首次报告,据我们所知,在相同条件下,胰岛淀粉样多肽(IAPP)残基 1-8 的 N 端环(N 环)在溶液中形成极其长且稳定的非 β-折叠纤维,而人胰岛淀粉样多肽(hIAPP)则形成淀粉样纤维。这一观察结果适用于 N 环的环状、氧化形式,但不适用于线性、还原形式,因为线性、还原形式不会形成纤维。我们的发现表明,N 环-N 环相互作用可能在 hIAPP 聚集中发挥作用,这一作用以前尚未被探索过,对 hIAPP 淀粉样纤维形成机制、IAPP 变体的抑制作用以及降钙素肽家族中有序和无序聚集之间的竞争具有重要意义。
