Amyloid-induced aggregation and precipitation of soluble proteins: an electrostatic contribution of the Alzheimer's beta(25-35) amyloid fibril

Biochemistry

Abstract

Amyloid-induced aggregation and precipitation of soluble proteins were investigated in vitro using the amyloid fibrils of the beta(25--35) peptide, a cytotoxic fragment of the Alzheimer's beta-peptide at positions 25--35. The aggregation rate of firefly luciferase was found to be modulated by both a chaperone molecule DnaK and the beta(25--35) amyloid, but their effects were opposite in direction. The amyloid fibril drastically facilitated the luciferase aggregation, which may define a kind of anti-chaperone activity. The effect of the beta(25--35) amyloid to promote protein aggregation and precipitation was further demonstrated for a wide variety of target proteins. The amount of coprecipitation was well correlated with the predicted isoelectric point of the target proteins, indicating that the interaction between the beta(25--35) amyloid and the target was driven by an electrostatic force between them. This view was confirmed by the experiments using an electrically neutral mutant peptide, beta(25--35)KA. It was also found that clustering of the beta(25--35) peptide to form amyloid and the conformation of the target protein are additional factors that determine the strength of the amyloid-protein interaction.
