摘要

The Sup35 protein of Saccharomyces cerevisiae forms a prion that generates the [PSIntn] phenotype.nIts NM region governs prion status, forming self-seeding amyloid fibers in vivo and in vitro. A tryptophannmutant of Sup35 (NMF117W) was used to probe its aggregation. Four indicators of aggregation, Trp 117nmaximum emission, Trp polarization, thio-T binding, and light scattering increase, revealed faster aggregationnat 4 u0002C than at 25 u0002C, and all indicators changed in a concerted fashion at the former temperature.nCuriously, at 25 u0002C the changes were not synchronized; the first two indicators, which reflect nucleation,nchanged more quickly than the last two, which reflect fibril formation. These results suggest that nucleation isninsensitive to temperature, whereas fibril extension is temperature dependent. As expected, aggregation isnaccelerated when a small fraction (5%) of the nuclei produced at 4 or 25 u0002C are added to a suspensionncontaining the soluble NM domain, although these nuclei do not seem to propagate any structuralninformation to the growing fibrils. Fibrils grown at 4 u0002C were less stable in GdmCl than those grown atnhigher temperature. However, they were both resistant to high pressure; in fact, both sets of fibrils respondednto high pressure by adopting an altered conformation with a higher capacity for thio-T binding. From thesendata, we calculated the change in volume and free energy associated with this conformational change. AFMnrevealed that the fibrils grown at 4 u0002C were statistically smaller than those grown at 25 u0002C. In conclusion, thenintroduction of Trp 117 allowed us to more carefully dissect the effects of temperature on the aggregation ofnthe Sup35 NM domain.
