Popis: Amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis is a rare disease in which plasma-cell-produced monoclonal immunoglobulin light chains misfold and become deposited as fibrils in the extracellular matrix. λ6 subgroup light chains are particularly fibrillogenic, and around 25 % of amyloid-associated λ6 light chains exist as the allotypic G24R variant that renders the protein less stable. The molecular details of this process, as well as the structures of the fibrils, are unknown. We have used solid-state NMR to investigate different fibril polymorphs. The secondary structures derived from NMR predominantly show β-strands, including in former turn or helical regions, and provide a molecular basis for previously identified fibrillogenic hotspots. We have determined, by using differentially 15 N:13 C-labeled samples, that the β-strands are stacked in-register parallel in the fibrils. This supramolecular arrangement shows that the native globular folds rearrange substantially upon fibrillization, and rules out the previously hypothesized fibril formation from native monomers.
