Thermodynamics of Amyloid Fibril Formation
• Some amyloidogenic mutations work by weakening native structure
- transthyretin
- Ig light chain
• local sequence also affects amyloidogenicity through fibril packing effects

The experimental Cr is the equilibrium position of fibril elongation
1. Unpolymerized Aβ at equilibrium: - chemically indistinguishable from initial - capable of making fibrils after concentration 2. Fibrils resuspended in buffer: - dissociate to the identical Cr position

How Does Proline Destabilize β-Sheet?
• Backbone Effects - no N-H proton: lost H-bond - loss of planarity in extended chain
• Side Chain Packing Effects - Pro “side chain” is compact loop that does not extend far out of plane

Thermodynamics of Amyloid Fibril Formation
Results:
- Aβ(1-40) fibril growth tends to a reversible equilibrium position with a Keq and ΔG
- ΔΔGs from Ala mutations agree with data from parallel β-sheet in globular protein
… propagated structural changes suggest a fundamental difference from globular proteins
- some ΔΔG effects attributable to energy changes within the monomer ensemble

How is amyloid formation initiated? Polyglutamine studies
There are no kinetically relevant intermediates in nucleation of simple polyGln peptides
Results:
- the nucleus for polyGln aggregation is an energetically unfavorable monomer
- repeat length dependent nucleation efficiency may help account for ages-of-onset
- Kn* for a Q47 peptide is ~ 10-9
- short polyGln peptides in the environment can enhance nucleation efficiency
![Page 52: Kinetics and Thermodynamics of Amyloid Fibril Formation Ron Wetzel University of Tennessee.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d3e5503460f94a16c66/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

Summary
• as predicted by theory, in vitro amyloid fibrils can achieve an equilibrium with monomer
• the position of this equilibrium is proportional to the free energy of fibril formation
• measurement of shifted equilibria allows quantitation of mutational effects
• amyloid fibrils exhibit a remarkable structural plasticity
• in ideal cases, aggregation kinetics can be interpreted mechanistically
• the kinetic nucleus for polyglutamine aggregation is an alternatively folded monomer
• accumulated sequence changes strongly diminish cross-seeding efficiency

Mutagenesis and Kinetics/Thermodynamics in Globular Protein Structure
• studies on “natural” mutants of globular proteins (1970s) - Gary Ackers (human hemoglobin variants) - Mike Laskowski (ovomucoid variants)
• protein engineering approaches to globular protein folding stability (1984->) - Ron Wetzel (T4 lysozyme disulfide bonds) - Brian Matthews (T4 lysozyme point mutations) - Robert Matthews, Alan Fersht (folding kinetics)
• protein folding stability and amyloidogenicity (1993->) - Jeff Kelly (transthyretin / TTR amyloidosis) - Ron Wetzel (light chain FV domain / Ig light chain amyloidosis) - Chris Dobson (lysozyme amyloidosis)
• amyloid fibril assembly kinetics and thermodynamics….landscape continuity? - kinetics complicated by protofibrils and by secondary nucleation - can fibril formation reach true equilibrium positions in vitro?

Thermodynamics of Amyloid Fibril Formation
• In globular proteins, some amyloidogenic mutations work by weakening native structure - transthyretin (Kelly) - Ig light chain (Wetzel)
• local sequence also affects amyloidogenicity through fibril packing effects
• simplest systems are where the starting monomer is in coil, ….. - no overlay of a stable native state - reasonable assumption that mutation minimally affects native state G
• ….. and where there is an easily and accurately measured Cr
• Results: - Aβ(1-40) fibril growth tends to an easily measured, reversible equilibrium position - ΔG = - 8.6 kcal/mol - ΔΔGs from Ala mutations agree with data from parallel β-sheet in globular protein - Ala-edited Pro scan reveals sequence segments in rigid structure, ….. - … but propagated structural changes in H-bonding complicate interpretation
