摘要:

许多蛋白质有可能聚集成淀粉样纤维,这与包括阿尔茨海默氏症和帕金森氏症在内的多种人类疾病有关。与折叠的蛋白质相反,淀粉样蛋白原纤维的热力学稳定性还没有得到很好的理解:特别是熵和疏水项之间的平衡,包括链熵和疏水效应,特征很差。使用模拟的粗粒度蛋白质模型,我们描绘的arpic和熵的贡献占主导地位的淀粉样蛋白原纤维伸长,预测一个特征性的温度依赖性arpic签名。我们通过对已发表的数据进行量热实验和荟萃分析来证实这一热力学特征。从这些结果,我们也可以阐明必要的条件,观察冷变性的淀粉样纤维。总的来说,我们表明,淀粉样蛋白原纤维的伸长率与负的热容量,其大小密切相关的疏水表面积,被埋在原纤维形成后,突出的重要性,疏水性原纤维的稳定性。

英文摘要:

Many proteins have the potential to aggregate into amyloid fibrils, which are associated with a wide range of human disorders including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. In contrast to that of folded proteins, the thermodynamic stability of amyloid fibrils is not well understood: specifically the balance between entropic and enthalpic terms, including the chain entropy and the hydrophobic effect, are poorly characterised. Using simulations of a coarse-grained protein model we delineate the enthalpic and entropic contributions dominating amyloid fibril elongation, predicting a characteristic temperature-dependent enthalpic signature. We confirm this thermodynamic signature by performing calorimetric experiments and a meta-analysis over published data. From these results, we can also elucidate the necessary conditions to observe cold denaturation of amyloid fibrils. Overall, we show that amyloid fibril elongation is associated with a negative heat capacity, the magnitude of which correlates closely with the hydrophobic surface area that is buried upon fibril formation, highlighting the importance of hydrophobicity for fibril stability.
