摘要

Understanding the role of the L/D-stereospecificity of amino acids is important in obtaining further insight into the mechanism of the formation of amyloid fibrils.beta_2-Microglobulin is a major component of amyloid fibrils deposited in patients with dialysis-related amyloidosis.A 22-residue peptide of beta_2-microglobulin,Ser20-Lys41 (L-K3 peptide),obtained by digestion with Acromobacter protease I,formed amyloid-like fibrils in 50% (v/v) 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol and 10 mM HC1 at 25 deg C,as confirmed by thioflavin T fluorescence,circular dichroism spectra,and atomic force microscopy images.A synthetic K3 peptide composed of D-amino acids (D-K3 peptide) formed similar fibrils but with opposite chirality as indicated by circular dichroism spectra.A mixture of L-K3 and D-K3 peptides also formed fibrils,although the L- and D-amino acid composition of each fibril is unknown.To examine the possible cross-reactivity between L- and D-enantiomers,we carried out seeding experiments in which preformed seeds were extended by monomers.The results revealed that only the homologous extensions proceed smoothly,i.e.,the growth of L-seeds by L-monomers or D-seeds by D-monomers.The results suggest that,while the fibrils derived from L- and D-peptides form in a similar manner but with opposite stereochemistry,a cross-reaction between them is prevented because the geometry of the mixed sheet cannot satisfy dominant factors for beta-sheet stabilization.
