The aggregation of insulin into amyloid fibers has been a limiting factor in the
development of fast acting insulin analogues, creating a demand for excipients
that limit aggregation. Despite the potential demand, inhibitors specifically
targeting insulin have been few in number. Here we report a non-toxic and serum
stable-designed heptapeptide, KR7 (KPWWPRR-NH(2)), that differs significantly
from the primarily hydrophobic sequences that have been previously used to
interfere with insulin amyloid fibrillation. Thioflavin T fluorescence assays,
circular dichroism spectroscopy, and one-dimensional proton NMR experiments
suggest KR7 primarily targets the fiber elongation step with little effect on the
early oligomerization steps in the lag time period. From confocal fluorescence
and atomic force microscopy experiments, the net result appears to be the arrest
of aggregation in an early, non-fibrillar aggregation stage. This mechanism is
noticeably different from previous peptide-based inhibitors, which have primarily
shifted the lag time with little effect on later stages of aggregation. As
insulin is an important model system for understanding protein aggregation, the
new peptide may be an important tool for understanding peptide-based inhibition
of amyloid formation.
