Verstärkte Fibrillen‐Fragmentierung N‐terminal verkürzter, Pyroglutamat‐modifizierter Aβ‐Peptide

Abstract: N-terminal verkürzte,P yroglutamat-modifizierte Varianten des Ab-Peptids sind natürlich vorkommende chemische Modifikationen bei der Alzheimerschen Krankheit. Wirzeigen hier,dass die beiden Modifikationen die Länge der Fibrillen und den Übergangsmittelpunkt der thermischen Entfaltung der Fibrillen signifikant herabsetzen. Die Peptidkonformation in den Fibrillen bleibt jedochw eitestgehend unbeeinflusst. Diese Beobachtung lässt darauf schließen, dass der unmodifizierte N-Terminus die Fibrillen vor mechani-schem… Show more

“…The time dependence of ThT‐fluorescence (Figure A) shows a much faster fibrillation kinetics of pGlu 11 ‐Aβ(11–40) compared to WT Aβ(1–40). A similar acceleration of the fibrillation kinetics was observed for pGlu 3 ‐Aβ(3–40) ,,. Under the chosen experimental conditions, a lag time for the fibrillation process of pGlu 11 ‐Aβ(11–40) was difficult to determine precisely from the data but is estimated to be shorter than 3 h compared to 43±2 h for the WT .…”

“…to display a higher fragmentation rate under comparable conditions. 18,19 It is currently the target of monoclonal antibodies which are able to clean plaques in mouse models or AD patients. 20 pEAb has also been proposed to influence Ab(1-42) during the early stage of aggregation by altering the secondary structure of Ab(1-42) assemblies through a template-dependent mechanism thereby rapidly forming highly toxic hetero-oligomers structurally distinct from both pE-Ab and Ab(1-42).…”

“…[116,117] These peptides are considered to be more toxic than the full-length ones, [118][119][120][121][122][123][124][125][126][127][128][129][130][131] given their connection to modified plaque morphology, hampered degradation of the pyroglutamate forms, higher propensity to form -sheets, and impact on the process of aggregation of the full-length peptides. The formation of pyroglutamate at the 11-position (see above) is also possible, but its effect has been less studied.…”
