项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract The proposed research focuses on the application and development of magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR as a tool for structural investigations of amyloid peptides and proteins. The research covers four major topics. A. Structure of Amyloid Peptides and Proteins (1) Aβ1-42 and Aβ1-40: Using 1H detected and DNP magic angle spinning (MAS) and cryoEM we plan the following experiments on Aβ: (a) a determination of the structure of Aβ1-40; (b) the structure of the pathologically important plaque seeded Aβ1-42; (c) the structure of the N-terminal tail and the binding of antibody Aducanumab to the tail; (d) and the structure of mutants for Aβ1-42. (2) Beta-2-microglobulin (β2m) and DeltaN6-β2m: We plan to determine the structure of the 93 AA β2m-DeltaN6 variant of the dialysis related amyloidosis (DRA) protein. In addition, DeltaN6 is thought to be the catalyst that seeds β2m plaques in-vivo. We therefore also intend to study mixtures of β2m and DeltaN6. (3) Amyloid polymorphism: We intend to determine the structure of the three polymorphs of the amyloidiogenic peptide GNNQQNY from Sup35. These are present in a consistent 1:1:1 population and will provide the first study of the manner in which defined structural changes alter 13C and 15N shifts. 1H, 13C and 17O NMR will be used to characterize the structure around the H2O molecules in the GNNQQNY lattice. B. NMR methods None of the above structural studies would be possible absent NMR methods to assign spectra, measure distances and torsion angles, to enhance signal intensities, etc. We therefore plan to continue the development of the methods essential for these structural investigations. (a) We plan to continue these experiments by initially preparing U-17O/13C/15N GNNQQNY to further develop the spectroscopy and then to apply it to spectroscopy of Aβ1-42 and Aβ1-40. The experiments will employ 1H detection and DNP in order to optimize the sensitivity. PAR and PAIN have been essential to MAS NMR structure determinations but they are semiquantitative methods to measure 13C-13C and 13C-15N distances. Using SPINEVOLUTION software and experiments on model systems, we plan to develop these approaches into quantitative distance measurement techniques.

项目概要/摘要拟研究重点是魔角旋转（MAS）核磁共振的应用和发展 AS 淀粉样肽和蛋白质结构研究的工具该研究涵盖四个主要领域。话题。 A. 淀粉样肽和蛋白质的结构 (1) Aβ1-42 和 Aβ1-40：使用 1 小时检测和 DNP 魔角旋转 (MAS) 和 Cryoem 我们计划以下关于 Aβ 的经验： (a) Aβ1-40 结构的测定；病理学上重要的斑块种子 Aβ1-42；尾部抗体 Aducanumab； (2)BETA-2-微球蛋白(β2m)和Delta6-β2m：我们计划确定透析相关S(Dra)蛋白的93AAβ2m-Deltan6变体的结构。这体内产生 β2m 斑块的催化剂我们还研究了 β2m 和 Delta6 的混合体。 (3)淀粉样蛋白多态性：我们打算确定淀粉样蛋白的三种多晶型物的结构来自 SUP35 的淀粉样肽 GNNQQNY 存在于一致的 1:1:1 群体中。并将首次研究定义的结构变化改变 13c 和 15N 的方式 1h、13c 和 17O NMR 将用于表征 H2O 分子周围的结构。 Gnnqqny晶格。 B. NMR 方法如果没有 NMR 方法进行分配，上述结构研究都是不可能的光谱、测量距离和扭转角、增强信号强度等。我们的 THEREFORE PLAN 继续开发结构投资所必需的方法。为了继续这些实验，首先准备 U-17O/13c/15N GNNQQNY，以进一步开发光谱分析，然后将其应用于 Aβ1-42 和 Aβ1-40 的光谱分析，实验将使用 1 小时。检测和 DNP 以优化灵敏度。 NMR 结构测定，但它们是测量 13c-13C 和 13C-15N 的半定量方法我们计划使用 SPINEVOLUTION 软件并在模型系统上进行实验来开发这些方法涉及定量距离测量技术。
