AbstractWe have examined a series of overlapping peptide fragments from the 8-20 region of human islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) with the objective of defining the smallest fibril-forming domain. Peptide fragments corresponding to LANFLV (residues 12-17) and FLVHSS (residues 15-20) were strong enhancers of β-sheet transition and fibril formation. Negative stain electron microscopy illustrated the ability of these peptide fragments to form fibrils independently when incubated alone in solution. Circular dichroism analysis revealed that when full-length human IAPP was incubated in the presence of these two fragments, fibrillogenesis was accelerated. While the two fragments, LANFLV and FLVHSS, were able to enhance the recruitment of additional IAPP molecules during fibril formation, the "seeding" activity of these peptides had no effect on altering IAPP-induced cytotoxcity as determined by cell culture studies. Therefore, this study has identified two internal IAPP peptide fragments within the 8-20 domain that may have a role in enhancing the folding and aggregation of human IAPP. These fragments are the smallest sequences identified, within the 8-20 region of hIAPP, that can independently form fibrils, and that can interact with IAPP to assemble into fibrils with characteristics similar as those formed by human IAPP alone. © 2003 Elsevier Science (USA).
