Abstract

GM1 ganglioside-bound amyloid beta-protein (GM1/Abeta), found in brains exhibiting early pathological changes of Alzheimer's disease (AD) including diffuse plaques, has been suggested to be involved in the initiation of amyloid fibril formation in vivo by acting as a seed. To elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying GM1/Abeta formation, the effects of lipid composition on the binding of Abeta to GM1-containing lipid bilayers were examined in detail using fluorescent dye-labeled human Abeta-(1-40). Increases in not only GM1 but also cholesterol contents in the lipid bilayers facilitated the binding of Abeta to the membranes by altering the binding capacity but not the binding affinity. An increase in membrane-bound Abeta concentration triggered its conformational transition from helix-rich to beta-sheet-rich structures. Excimer formation of fluorescent dye-labeled GM1 suggested that Abeta recognizes a GM1 "cluster" in membranes, the formation of which is facilitated by cholesterol. The results of the present study strongly suggested that increases in intramembrane cholesterol content, which are likely to occur during aging, appear to be a risk factor for amyloid fibril formation.

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.
