abstract = {The islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) is the main
constituent of the amyloid fibrils found in the pancreas of
type 2 diabetes patients. The aggregation of IAPP is known
to cause cell death, where the cell membrane plays a dual
role: being a catalyst of IAPP aggregation and being the
target of IAPP toxicity. Using ATR-FTIR spectroscopy,
transmission electron microscopy, and molecular dynamics
simulations we investigate the very first molecular steps
following IAPP binding to a lipid membrane. In particular,
we assess the combined effects of the charge state of
amino-acid residue 18 and the IAPP-membrane interactions on
the structures of monomeric and aggregated IAPP. Distinct
IAPP-membrane interaction modes for the various IAPP
variants are revealed. Membrane binding causes IAPP to fold
into an amphipathic α-helix, which in the case of H18K-,
and H18R-IAPP readily moves beyond the headgroup region. For
all IAPP variants but H18E-IAPP, the membrane-bound helix is
an intermediate on the way to amyloid aggregation, while
H18E-IAPP remains in a stable helical conformation. The
fibrillar aggregates of wild-type IAPP and H18K-IAPP are
dominated by an antiparallel β-sheet conformation, while
H18R- and H18A-IAPP exhibit both antiparallel and parallel
β-sheets as well as amorphous aggregates. Our results
emphasize the decisive role of residue 18 for the structure
and membrane interaction of IAPP. This residue is thus a
good therapeutic target for destabilizing membrane-bound
IAPP fibrils to inhibit their toxic actions.},
