Islet amyloid polypeptide fibril catalyzes amyloid-β aggregation by promoting fibril nucleation rather than direct axial growth
Aberrant aggregation of amyloid-β (Aβ) and islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) into amyloid fibrils underlies the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), respectively. T2D significantly increases AD risk, with evidence suggesting that IAPP and Aβ co-aggregation and cross-seeding might contribute to the cross-talk between two diseases. Experimentally, preformed IAPP fibril seeds can accelerate Aβ aggregation, though the cross-seeding mechanism remains elusive. Here, we computationally demonstrated that Aβ monomer preferred to bind to the elongation ends of preformed IAPP fibrils. However, due to sequence mismatch, the Aβ monomer could not directly grow onto IAPP fibrils by forming multiple stable β-sheets with the exposed IAPP peptides. Conversely, in our control simulations of self-seeding, the Aβ monomer could axially grow on the Aβ fibril, forming parallel in-register β-sheets. Additionally, we showed that the IAPP fibril could catalyze A� � fibril nucleation by promoting the formation of parallel in-register β-sheets in the C-terminus between bound Aβ peptides. This study enhances our understanding of the molecular interplay between Aβ and IAPP, shedding light on the cross-seeding mechanisms potentially linking T2D and AD. Our findings also underscore the importance of clearing IAPP deposits in T2D patients to mitigate AD risk. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.
