Sulfates dramatically stabilize a salt-dependent type of glucagon fibrils

Abstract

Recent work suggests that protein fibrillation mechanisms and the structure of the resulting protein fibrils are very sensitive to environmental conditions such as temperature and ionic strength. Here we report the effect of several inorganic salts on the fibrillation of glucagon. At acidic pH, fibrillation is much less influenced by cations than anions, for which the effects follow the electroselectivity series; e.g., the effect of sulfate is approximately 65-fold higher than that of chloride per mole. Increased salt concentrations generally accelerate fibrillation, but result in formation of an alternate type of fibrils. Stability of these fibrils is highly affected by changes in anion concentration; the apparent melting temperature is increased by approximately 22 degrees C for any 10-fold concentration increase, indicating that the fibrils cannot exist without anions. In contrast, fibrillation under alkaline conditions is more affected by cations than anions. We conclude that ions interact directly as structural ligands with glucagon fibrils where they coordinate charges and assist in formation of new fibrils. As ex vivo amyloid plaques often contain large amounts of highly sulfated organic molecules, the specific effects o...Continue Reading
