西亚试剂：EGCG redirects amyloidogenic polypeptides into unstructured

Abstract

The accumulation of β-sheet–rich amyloid fibrils or aggregates is a complex, multistep process that is associated with cellular toxicity in a number of human protein misfolding disorders, including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. It involves the formation of various transient and intransient, on- and off-pathway aggregate species, whose structure, size and cellular toxicity are largely unclear. Here we demonstrate redirection of amyloid fibril formation through the action of a small molecule, resulting in off-pathway, highly stable oligomers. The polyphenol (- )-epigallocatechin gallate efficiently inhibits the fibrillogenesis of both α-synuclein and amyloid-β by directly binding to the natively unfolded polypeptides and preventing their conversion into toxic, on-pathway aggregation intermediates. Instead of β-sheet–rich amyloid, the formation of unstructured, nontoxic α-synuclein and amyloid-β oligomers of a new type is promoted, suggesting a generic effect on aggregation pathways in neurodegenerative diseases.
