摘要:
Fibril formation has been considered a significant feature of amyloid proteins. However, it has been proposed that fibril formation is a common property of many proteins under appropriate conditions. We studied the fibril formation of beta-amylase, a non-amyloid protein rich in alpha-helical structure, because the secondary structure of beta-amylase is similar to that of prions. With the conditions for the fibril formation of prions, beta-amylase proteins were converted into amyloid fibrils. The features of beta-amylase proteins and fibrils are compared to prion proteins and fibrils. Furthermore, the cause of neurotoxicity in amyloid diseases is discussed.
