TAILIEUCHUNG - Computational investigations of the transmembrane italian mutant (E22K) 3aβ11−40 in aqueous solution

The results are in good agreement with experiments showing that E22K amyloid self-aggregates faster than the WT form. Detailed information of tmE22K trimer structure and kinetics probably yield the understanding of AD mechanism. | Communications in Physics, Vol. 28, No. 3 (2018), pp. 265-276 DOI: COMPUTATIONAL INVESTIGATIONS OF THE TRANSMEMBRANE ITALIAN-MUTANT (E22K) 3Aβ11−40 IN AQUEOUS SOLUTION SON TUNG NGOa,b,† a Computational Chemistry Research Group, Ton Duc Thang University, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam b Faculty of Applied Sciences, Ton Duc Thang University, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam † E-mail: ngosontung@ Received 14 July 2018 Accepted for publication 26 August 2018 Published 11 September 2018 Abstract. The Amyloid beta A(β ) oligomers are characterized as critical cytotoxic materials in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis. Structural details of transmembrane oligomers are inevitably necessary to design/search potential inhibitor to treat AD. However, the experimental detections for structural information of low-order Aβ oligomers are precluded due to the extremely dynamic fluctuation of the oligomers. In this project, the transmembrane Italian-mutant (E22K) 3Aβ11−40 (tmE22K 3Aβ11−40 ) was extensively investigated using the temperature replica exchange molecular dynamics (REMD) simulations. The structural changes of the trimer when replacing the negatively charged residue E22 by a positively charged residue K were monitored over simulation intervals. The oligomer size turned to be larger and the increase of β -content was recorded. The momentous gain of intermolecular contacts with lipid molecules implies that tmE22K 3Aβ11−40 would be self-inserted more easily into the membrane than the wild-type (WT) form. Furthermore, the tighter interaction between constituting monomers was indicated implying that the E22K mutation probably enhances the Aβ fibril formation. The results are in good agreement with experiments showing that E22K amyloid self-aggregates faster than the WT form. Detailed information of tmE22K trimer structure and kinetics probably yield the understanding of AD mechanism. Keywords: amyloid oligomer, E22K, Italian mutation, REMD, .
