Abstract

The major proteinaceous component of amyloid deposits associated with Alzheimer's disease is a self-assembling 40-42-residue peptide, known as A beta, which is generated by the proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (Kang, J., Lemaire, H. G., Unterbeck, A., Salbaum, J. M., Masters, C. L., Grzeschik, K. H., Multhaup, G., Beyreuther, K., and Muller-Hill, B. (1987) Nature 325, 733-736; Haass, C., Hung, A. Y., Schlossmacher, M. G., Oltersdorf, T., Teplow, D. B., and Selkoe, D. J. (1993) Ann. N. Y. Acad. Sci. 695, 109-116; Estus, S., Golde, T. E., and Younkin S. G. (1992) Ann. N. Y. Acad. Sci. 674, 138-148) and is implicated as one of the causal factors in the pathology of the disease. A beta is now shown to display properties commonly associated with surfactants or detergents, which form micelles in solution. Increasing concentrations of A beta lower the surface tension of water up to a critical concentration, above which little further decrease in surface tension is observed. At concentrations above this critical concentration, increasing amounts of non-covalent aggregates of A beta are observed. A beta aggregation is also correlated with the formation of a hydrophobic environment that excludes water. The extent of this hydrophobic environment, as reflected by the partitioning of hydrophobic fluorescent probes, is much higher for the longer A beta 1-42 isoform, which may be more intimately associated with Alzheimer's disease pathology than A beta 1-40. Although the solution structure of A beta is not yet known, these results suggest that the structure of A beta has the same type of axial amphipathic organization as detergent molecules and that the same principles that govern micelle formation may also apply to A beta aggregation and amyloid fibril self-assembly.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
