- Abstract
- Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) is a 37-residue hormone known to deposit as fibrillar aggregates
in pancreatic b-cells of patients affected by T2DM. Although it has been proposed that both the
fibrillogenic potential and membrane-activity may play a key role in IAPP cytotoxicity, a direct
causative relationship between these two properties has not yet been firmly established.
More recently, it has been observed that membrane damage may occur independently from fiber
formation of IAPP and that these properties may be encoded by different sequences of IAPP.
To further check this hypothesis, the membrane-activity and aggregation properties of the two
neutral segments LANFLVH (IAPP12-18) and NNFGAIL (IAPP21-27), that recent theoretical
studies have reported to possess the highest and the lowest fibrillogenic potential respectively,
have been studied by means of a combined experimental and computational approach. The whole
of the results demonstrate that if neutral peptides and lipids are employed, the most fibrillogenic
peptide has the lowest membrane damaging effect and vice versa. These findings are expected to
contribute to our rational understanding of the factors involved in the formation of amyloidosis
and in the mechanisms of peptide-induced membrane damage. (literal)
