The extracellular chaperone clusterin influences amyloid formation and toxicity by interacting with prefibrillar structures
Abstract
Clusterin is an extracellular chaperone present in all disease‐associated extracellular amyloid deposits, but its roles in amyloid formation and protein deposition in vivo are poorly understood. The current study initially aimed to characterize the effects of clusterin on amyloid formation in vitro by a panel of eight protein substrates. Two of the substrates (Alzheimer's beta peptide and a PI3‐SH3 domain) were then used in further experiments to examine the effects of clusterin on amyloid cytotoxicity and to probe the mechanism of clusterin action. We show that clusterin exerts potent effects on amyloid formation, the nature and extent of which vary greatly with the clusterin: substrate ratio, and provide evidence that these effects are exerted via interactions with prefibrillar species that share common structural features. Proamyloido‐genic effects of clusterin appear to be restricted to conditions in which the substrate protein is present at a very large molar excess;under these same conditions, clusterin coincorporates with substrate protein into insoluble aggregates. However, when clusterin is present at much higher but still substoichiometric levels (e.g. , a molar ratio of clusterin:substrate = 1:10), it potently inhibits amyloid formation and provides substantial cytoprotection. These findings suggest that clus‐terin is an important element in the control of extracellular protein misfolding.—Yerbury, J. J., Poon, S., Meehan, S., Thompson, B., Kumita, J. R., Dobson, C.

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.
