Conformational and aggregation properties of the 1-93 fragment of apolipoprotein A-I
(2014) In Protein Science 23(11). p.71-1559- Abstract
Several disease-linked mutations of apolipoprotein A-I, the major protein in high-density lipoprotein (HDL), are known to be amyloidogenic, and the fibrils often contain N-terminal fragments of the protein. Here, we present a combined computational and experimental study of the fibril-associated disordered 1-93 fragment of this protein, in wild-type and mutated (G26R, S36A, K40L, W50R) forms. In atomic-level Monte Carlo simulations of the free monomer, validated by circular dichroism spectroscopy, we observe changes in the position-dependent β-strand probability induced by mutations. We find that these conformational shifts match well with the effects of these mutations in thioflavin T fluorescence and transmission electron microscopy... (More)
Several disease-linked mutations of apolipoprotein A-I, the major protein in high-density lipoprotein (HDL), are known to be amyloidogenic, and the fibrils often contain N-terminal fragments of the protein.

In atomic-level Monte Carlo simulations of the free monomer, validated by circular dichroism spectroscopy, we observe changes in the position-dependent β-strand probability induced by mutations. We find that these conformational shifts match well with the effects of these mutations in thioflavin T fluorescence and transmission electron microscopy experiments. Together, our results point to molecular mechanisms that may have a key role in disease-linked aggregation of apolipoprotein A-I.
