Role of complementarity-determining regions 1 and 3 in pathologic amyloid formation by human immunoglobulin κ1 light chains

Role of complementarity-determining regions 1 and 3 in pathologic amyloid formation by human... Abstract Background Immunoglobulin light chain (LC) amyloidosis is a life-threatening disease complicated by vast numbers of patient-specific mutations. We explored 14 patient-derived and engineered proteins related to κ1-family germline genes IGKVLD-33*01 and IGKVLD-39*01. Methods Hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry analysis of conformational dynamics in recombinant LCs and their fragments was integrated with studies of thermal stability, proteolytic susceptibility, amyloid formation and amyloidogenic sequence propensity. The results were mapped on the structures of native and fibrillary proteins. Results Proteins from two κ1 subfamilies showed unexpected differences. Compared to their germline counterparts, amyloid LC related to IGKVLD-33*01 was less stable and formed amyloid faster, whereas amyloid LC related to IGKVLD-39*01 had similar stability and formed amyloid slower, suggesting different major factors influencing amyloidogenesis. In 33*01-related amyloid LC, these factors involved destabilization of the native structure and probable stabilization of amyloid. The atypical behavior of 39*01-related amyloid LC stemmed from increased dynamics/exposure of amyloidogenic segments in βC′V and βEV that could initiate aggregation and decreased dynamics/exposure near the Cys23–Cys88 disulfide. Conclusions The results suggest distinct amyloidogenic pathways for closely related LCs and point to the complementarity-defining regions CDR1 and CDR3, linked via the conserved internal disulfide, as key factors in amyloid formation. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Amyloid Taylor & Francis

The results were mapped on the structures of native and fibrillary proteins. Results Proteins from two κ1 subfamilies showed unexpected differences.
