Aggregation of prion proteins is the cause of various prion related diseases. The
infectious form of prions, amyloid aggregates, exist as multiple strains. The
strains are thought to represent structurally different prion protein molecules
packed into amyloid aggregates, but the knowledge on the structure of different
types of aggregates is limited. Here we report on the use of AFM (Atomic Force
Microscopy) and TERS (Tip-Enhanced Raman Scattering) to study morphological
heterogeneity and access underlying conformational features of individual amyloid
aggregates. Using AFM we identified the morphology of amyloid fibrils formed by
the peptide (CGNNQQNY) from the yeast prion protein Sup35 that is critically
involved in the aggregation of the full protein. TERS results demonstrate that
morphologically different amyloid fibrils are composed of a distinct set of
conformations. Fibrils formed at pH 5.6 are composed of a mixture of peptide
conformations (?-sheets, random coil and ?-helix) while fibrils formed in pH~2
solution primarily have ?-sheets. Additionally, peak positions in the amide III
region of the TERS spectra suggested that peptides have parallel arrangement of
?-sheets for pH~2 fibrils and antiparallel arrangement for fibrils formed at pH
5.6. We also developed a methodology for detailed analysis of the peptide
secondary structure by correlating intensity changes of Raman bands in different
regions of TERS spectra. Such correlation established that structural composition
of peptides is highly localized with large contribution of unordered secondary
structures on a fibrillar surface.
