Protein misfolding and aggregation is observed in many amyloidogenic diseases affecting either the central nervous system or a variety of peripheral tissues. Structural dynamic characterization all species along pathways from monomers to fibrils challenging by experimental computational means because they involve intrinsically disordered proteins most diseases. Yet understanding how amyloid become toxic challenge developing treatment for these Here we review what computer, vitro, vivo, pharmacological experiments tell us about accumulation deposition oligomers (Aβ, tau), α-synuclein, IAPP, superoxide dismutase 1 proteins, which have been mainstream concept underlying Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's (PD), type II diabetes (T2D), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) research, respectively, years.

Abstract The formation of Aβ amyloid fibrils is a neuropathological hallmark Alzheimer’s disease and cerebral angiopathy. However, the structure from brain tissue poorly understood. Here we report purification meningeal their structural analysis with cryo-electron microscopy. We show that these are polymorphic but consist similarly structured protofilaments. Brain derived right-hand twisted peptide fold differs sharply previously analyzed were formed in vitro. These data underscore importance to use patient-derived when investigating basis disease.

Hi-res view of human Aβ42 filaments Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by a loss memory and other cognitive functions the filamentous assembly Aβ tau in brain. The peptides into that end at residue 42 central event. Yang et al . used electron cryo–electron microscopy to determine structures from brain (see Perspective Willem Fändrich). They identified two types related S-shaped filaments, each consisting identical protofilaments. These will inform development better vitro animal models, inhibitors assembly, imaging agents with increased specificity sensitivity. —SMH

Intracellular inclusions rich in alpha-synuclein are a hallmark of several neuropathological diseases including Parkinson’s disease (PD). Previously, we reported the structure fibrils (residues 1–121), composed two protofibrils that connected via densely-packed interface formed by residues 50–57 (Guerrero-Ferreira, eLife 218;7:e36402). We here report new polymorphic atomic structures termed polymorphs 2a and 2b, at 3.0 Å 3.4 resolution, respectively. These show radically different compared to previously polymorphs. The have 10 nm fibril diameter protofilaments which interact intermolecular salt-bridges between amino acids K45, E57 (polymorph 2a) or E46 2b). non-amyloid component (NAC) region is fully buried non-described interactions with N-terminus. A hydrophobic cleft, location familial PD mutation sites, nature protofilament now invite formulate hypotheses about formation, growth stability.
