Although the magnitude of a protein's net charge (Z) can control its rate of
self-assembly into amyloid, and its interactions with cellular membranes, the net
charge of a protein is not viewed as a druggable parameter. This article
demonstrates that aspirin (the quintessential acylating pharmacon) can inhibit
the amyloidogenesis of superoxide dismutase (SOD1) by increasing the intrinsic
net negative charge of the polypeptide, i.e., by acetylation (neutralization) of
multiple lysines. The protective effects of acetylation were diminished (but not
abolished) in 100 mM NaCl and were statistically significant: a total of 432
thioflavin-T amyloid assays were performed for all studied proteins. The
acetylation of as few as three lysines by aspirin in A4V apo-SOD1-a variant that
causes familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-delayed amyloid nucleation by
38% and slowed amyloid propagation by twofold. Lysines in wild-type- and
ALS-variant apo-SOD1 could also be peracetylated with aspirin after
fibrillization, resulting in supercharged fibrils, with increases in formal net
charge of ?2 million units. Peracetylated SOD1 amyloid defibrillized at
temperatures below unacetylated fibrils, and below the melting temperature of
native Cu2,Zn2-SOD1 (e.g., fibril Tm = 84.49°C for acetylated D90A apo-SOD1
fibrils). Targeting the net charge of native or misfolded proteins with small
molecules-analogous to how an enzyme's Km or Vmax are medicinally targeted-holds
promise as a strategy in the design of therapies for diseases linked to protein
self-assembly.
