[Quaternary structure of murine amyloid fibrils: fibril dissociation following exposure to sodium dodecyl sulfate and alkali]. 1980

E M Bannikova, and V V Sura

Purified amyloid fibrils from the spleens of CBA mice with casein-induced amyloidosis were dissociated in 0.1 N NaOH or 2% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Amyloid fibrils were found to dissociate in 0.1 N NaOH to stable subunits with a molecular weight about 500 000 as shown by gel chromatography. Both fibrils and their high-molecular subunits were dissociated in 2% SDS to polypeptides of two types whos molecular weight amounted to 11 000 and 15 000, respectively, as revealed by electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel in the presence of SDS. It is assumed that interchain disulfide bonds do not play a role in the maintenance of the quaternary structure of the amyloid fibrils.

D000682 Amyloid A fibrous protein complex that consists of proteins folded into a specific cross beta-pleated sheet structure. This fibrillar structure has been found as an alternative folding pattern for a variety of functional proteins. Deposits of amyloid in the form of AMYLOID PLAQUES are associated with a variety of degenerative diseases. The amyloid structure has also been found in a number of functional proteins that are unrelated to disease.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D012967 Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate An anionic surfactant, usually a mixture of sodium alkyl sulfates, mainly the lauryl; lowers surface tension of aqueous solutions; used as fat emulsifier, wetting agent, detergent in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and toothpastes; also as research tool in protein biochemistry.
