Abstract

Protein microdiffraction using monochromatic beams is becoming a routine tool at third-generation synchrotron radiation sources. Beam sizes have reached the scale of about 5 microm, with illuminated crystal volumes of approximately 500 microm3, as shown for the case of bovine rhodopsin, which was refined to a resolution of 2.6 A. Progress in X-ray optical systems and instrumentation will enable the method to be extended to smaller beams and smaller crystal volumes.

Secondary structural formation of alpha-synuclein amyloids as revealed by g-factor of solid-state circular dichroism.

Alpha-synuclein (alpha-Syn) has been identified as a component of intracellular fibrillar deposits in Parkinson's disease. Though the real pathogenesis is still unknown, many investigations have revealed that conformational alteration and fibril formation of alpha-Syn protein have an important role in causing the disease. In this work, we introduced the g-factor spectra of solid-state circular dichroism to estimate the secondary structure contents of alpha-Syn fragments in amyloids. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) was also applied to confirm the structural formation. The results suggest that the central hydrophobic region is critical for beta-sheet formation and the conformational alteration is the foundation of protein abnormal aggregation. The research provides a practical approach to estimate the secondary structure contents of protein amyloids and further insight into the relevance of structural transformation and amyloidogenesis.

Structures of soluble amyloid oligomers from computer simulations.

Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob's neurodegenerative diseases are all linked with the assembly of normally soluble proteins into amyloid fibrils. Because of experimental limitations, structural characterization of the soluble oligomers, which form early in the process of fibrillogenesis and are cytotoxic, remains to be determined. In this article, we study the aggregation paths of seven chains of the shortest amyloid-forming peptide, using an activitated method and a reduced atomic representation. Our simulations show that disordered KFFE monomers ultimately form three distinct topologies of similar energy: amorphous oligomers, incomplete rings with beta-barrel character, and cross-beta-sheet structures with the meridional but not the equatorial X-ray fiber reflections. The simulations also shed light on the pathways from misfolded aggregates to fibrillar-like structures. They also underline the multiplicity of building blocks that can lead to the formation of the critical nucleus from which rapid growth of the fibril occurs.

X-ray scattering study of the effect of hydration on the cross-beta structure of amyloid fibrils.

We have investigated the effect of sample hydration on the wide-angle X-ray scattering patterns of amyloid fibrils from two different sources, hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) and an 11-residue peptide taken from the sequence of transthyretin (TTR105-115). Both samples show an inter-strand reflection at 4.7 A and an inter-sheet reflection which occurs at 8.8 and approximately 10 A for TTR105-115 and HEWL fibrils, respectively. The positions, widths, and relative intensities of these reflections are conserved in patterns obtained from dried stalks and hydrated samples over a range of fibril concentrations. In 2D scattering patterns obtained from flow-aligned hydrated samples, the inter-strand and inter-sheet reflections showed, respectively, axial and equatorial alignment relative to the fibril axis, characteristic of the cross-beta structure. Our results show that the cross-beta structure of the fibrils is not a product of the dehydrating conditions typically employed to produce aligned samples, but is conserved in individual fibrils in hydrated samples under dilute conditions comparable to those associated with other biophysical and spectroscopic techniques. This suggests a structure consisting of a stack of two or more sheets whose interfaces are inaccessible to bulk water.
