摘要

Differences in themolecular structures of β2-microglobulin between the twomorphologically differentnamyloid fibrils having a needlelike [long-straight (LS)] and flexible [wormlike (WL)] character were investigatednby infrared, Raman, and vacuum-ultraviolet circular dichroism spectroscopy. It turned out that although thenβ-sheet content was comparable between the two kinds of fibrils (53 ( 6% for the LS fibril andn47 ( 6% for the WL fibril), the protonation states of the carboxyl side chains were distinctly different; thendeprotonated (COO-) and protonated (COOH) forms were dominant in the LS and WL fibrils at pH 2.5,nrespectively,meaning that the pKa is specifically lowered in the LS fibril. Such a difference was not observed for thenfibrils of the core fragments. Since site-specific interactions generally cause variation in the pKa of carboxyl sidenchains in proteins, these results suggest that “hook”-like interactions generated by hydrogen bonding and thenformation of a salt bridge are present in the LS fibril, providing enthalpic stabilization. Presumably, the carboxylngroups fix the spatial arrangement of β-strands and β-sheets, bringing about the needlelike morphology. Thenabsence of this regulationwould result in the flexiblemorphology of theWL fibril, providing entropic stabilization
