Abstract
Sup35pNM represents the N-terminal and middle (M) domains of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae prion Sup35p. This fragment is commonly used for structural and functional studies of Sup35p. We here present a solid-state NMR study of fibrils formed by this fragment and show that sequential assignments can be obtained for the rigid and well-ordered parts of the protein using 3D spectroscopy. We describe in detail the sequential assignment of the 22 residues yielding strong, narrow signals with chemical shifts that correspond mostly to ?-sheet secondary-structured amino acids that form the fibril core.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is caused by abnormal deposition (fibrillation) of a 42-residue amyloid ?-protein (A?42) in the brain. During the process of fibrillation, the A?42 takes the form of protofibrils with strong neurotoxicity, and is thus believed to play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of AD. To elucidate the supramolecular structure of the...

Parkinson's disease is amongst the most frequent and most devastating neurodegenerative diseases. It is tightly associated with the assembly of proteins into high-molecular weight protein species, which propagate between neurons in the central nervous system. The principal protein involved in this process is ?-synuclein which is a...

Solid-state NMR pulse sequences often feature fewer pulses and delays than the more common solution NMR experiments. This ostensible simplicity, however, belies the care with which experimental parameters must be determined, as solid-state NMR can be much less forgiving of improper experimental set-up. This is especially true of "semi-solid" samples, such as the phospholipid vesicles...

Current interest in amyloid fibrils stems from their involvement in neurodegenerative and other diseases and from their role as an alternative structural state for many peptides and proteins. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods have the unique capability of providing detailed structural constraints for amyloid fibrils, sufficient for the development of full molecular models. In...

Despite its importance in the context of conformational diseases, structural information is still sparse for protein fibrils. Hydrogen/deuterium exchange measurements of backbone amides allow to identify hydrogen-bonding patterns and reveal pertinent information about...
