Abstract:
:The multicomponent nature of neuronal plaques in Alzheimer's disease signifies the possible recruitment of non-Aβ candidates during the amyloid growth of Aβ peptides. Here, we show that amyloid fibrils of Aβ1-40 peptide can effectively initiate amyloid formation in different globular proteins and metabolites, converting native structures into β-sheet rich assemblies. Structural and biophysical properties of the resultant protein fibrils display amyloid like characteristic features. Viable contacts between Aβ peptide's cross-β architecture and the native structure of proteins, mediated through H-bonds and hydrophobic interactions seem crucial for the onset of amyloid cross-seeding. Results reveal the inherent cross-seeding potential of Aβ amyloids to initiate amyloid formation process in proteins and metabolites and revelation of such a property may further our mechanistic understanding of amyloid pathologies.
