摘要

Transthyretin (TTR) is a tetrameric protein associated with amyloidosis caused by tetramerndissociation andmonomermisfolding. The structure of two TTRvariants (E54Gand E54K)withGlu54 pointnmutation that cause clinically aggressive amyloidosis remains unclear, although amyloidogenicity of artificialntriple mutations (residues 53-55) in β-strand D had been investigated. Here we first analyzed the crystalnstructures and biochemical and biophysical properties of E54G and E54K TTRs. The direction of the Lys15nside chain in E54K TTR and the surface electrostatic potential in the edge region in both variants werendifferent from those of wild-type TTR. The presence of Lys54 leads to destabilization of tetramer structurendue to enhanced electrostatic repulsion between Lys15 of two monomers. Consistent with structural data, thenbiochemical analyses demonstrated that E54G and E54K TTRs were more unstable than wild-type TTR.nFurthermore, the entrance of the thyroxine (T4) binding pocket in TTRwasmarkedly narrower in E54KTTRnand wider in E54G TTR compared with wild-type TTR. The tetramer stabilization and amyloid fibrilnformation assays in the presence of T4 showed lower tetramer stability andmore fibril formation in E54KandnE54G TTRs than in wild-type TTR, suggesting decreased T4 binding to the TTR variants. These findingsnindicate that structural modification by Glu54 point mutation may sufficiently alter tetramer stability andnT4 binding
