<p class="ADMETabstracttext">Solubility is a fundamental protein property that has important connotations for therapeutics and use in diagnosis. Solubility of many proteins is low and affect heterologous overexpression of proteins, formulation of products and their stability. Two processes are related to soluble and solid phase relations. Solubility refers to the process where proteins have correctly folded structure, whereas aggregation is related to the formation of fibrils, oligomers or amorphous particles. Both processes are related to some diseases. Amyloid fibril formation is one of the characteristic features in several neurodegenerative diseases, but it is related to many other diseases, including cancers. Severe complex V deficiency and cataract are examples of diseases due to reduced protein solubility. Methods and approaches are described for prediction of protein solubility and aggregation, as well as predictions of consequences of amino acid substitutions. Finally, protein engineering solutions are discussed. Protein solubility can be increased, although such alterations are relatively rare and can lead to trade-off with some other properties. The aggregation prediction methods mainly aim to detect aggregation-prone sequence patches and then making them more soluble. The solubility predictors utilize a wide spectrum of features.</p>

Lysosomal System

A1thought the mechanisms of amyloidogenesis have not been entirely clarified, proteolysis of the parent proteins may be one of the important steps in the amyloid fibril formation. Recently, we reported that "dense fibrillar inclusions" (DFI), which had the characteristics of lysosomes and contained organized fibrillar profiles as well, were observed in the reticuloendothelial cells in close association with the foci of new amyloid deposits. We considered the findings as evidence for the involvement of lysosomal system in amyloid fibril formation (l). In the present study, we attempted to determine the identity of the contents of the DFI by the use of antisera against the amyloid protein (AA) and an immuno-electron microscopic technique.Amyloidosis was induced in CBA/J mice by daily injections of casein (l). AA was isolated from amyloid-laden spleens by gel filtration and antibody to it was produced in rabbits (2). For immunocytochemistry, the unlabeled antibody enzyme method (3) was employed.

Alzheimer's disease is characterized post-mortem in part by abnormal extracellular neuritic plaques found in brain tissue. There appears to be a correlation between the severity of Alzheimer's dementia in vivo and the number of plaques found in particular areas of the brain. These plaques are known to be the deposition sites of fibrils of the protein β-amyloid. It is thought that if the assembly of these plaques could be inhibited, the severity of the disease would be decreased. The peptide fragment Aβ, a precursor of the p-amyloid protein, has a 40 amino acid sequence, and has been shown to be toxic to neuronal cells in culture after an aging process of several days. This toxicity corresponds to the kinetics of in vitro amyloid fibril formation. In this study, we report the biochemical and ultrastructural effects of pH and the inhibitory agent hexadecyl-N-methylpiperidinium (HMP) bromide, one of a class of ionic micellar detergents known to be capable of solubilizing hydrophobic peptides, on the in vitro assembly of the peptide fragment Aβ.
