Previously, we discovered and structurally characterized a complex between
amyloid ? 1-40 and the neuropeptide leucine enkephalin. This work identified
leucine enkephalin as a potentially useful starting point for the discovery of
peptide-related biotherapeutics for Alzheimer's disease. In order to better
understand such complexes that are formed in vitro, we describe here the analysis
of a series of site-directed amino acid substitution variants of both peptides,
covering the leucine enkephalin sequence in its entirety and a large number of
selected residues of amyloid ? 1-40 (residues: D1, E3, F4, R5, H6, Y10, E11, H13,
H14, Q15, K16, E22, K28, and V40). Ion mobility-mass spectrometry measurements
and molecular dynamics simulations reveal that the hydrophobic C-terminus of
leucine enkephalin (Phe-Leu, FL) is crucial for the formation of peptide
complexes. As such, we explore here the interaction of the dipeptide FL with both
wildtype and variant forms of amyloid ? in order to structurally characterize the
complexes formed. We find that FL binds preferentially to amyloid ? oligomers and
attaches to amyloid ? within the region between its N-terminus and its
hydrophobic core, most specifically at residues Y10 and Q15. We further show that
FL is able to prevent fibril formation.
