Cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by ?-secretase is a crucial first
step in the evolution of Alzheimer's disease. To discover the cleavage mechanism,
it is urgent to predict the structures of APP monomers and dimers in varying
membrane environments. We determined the structures of the C9923-55 monomer and
homodimer as a function of membrane lipid composition using a multiscale
simulation approach that blends atomistic and coarse-grained models. We
demonstrate that the C9923-55 homodimer structures form a heterogeneous ensemble
with multiple conformational states, each stabilized by characteristic
interpeptide interactions. The relative probabilities of each conformational
state are sensitive to the membrane environment, leading to substantial variation
in homodimer peptide structure as a function of membrane lipid composition or the
presence of an anionic lipid environment. In contrast, the helicity of the
transmembrane domain of monomeric C991-55 is relatively insensitive to the
membrane lipid composition, in agreement with experimental observations. The
dimer structures of human EphA2 receptor depend on the lipid environment, which
we show is linked to the location of the structural motifs in the dimer
interface, thereby establishing that both sequence and membrane composition
modulate the complete energy landscape of membrane-bound proteins. As a
by-product of our work, we explain the discrepancy in structures predicted for
C99 congener homodimers in membrane and micelle environments. Our study provides
insight into the observed dependence of C99 protein cleavage by ?-secretase,
critical to the formation of amyloid-? protein, on membrane thickness and lipid
composition.
