    Abstract Tau aggregation is governed by secondary processes, a major pathological pathway for tau protein fibril propagation, yet its molecular mechanism remains unknown. This work uses saturation transfer and lifetime line-broadening experiments to identify the critical residues involved in these secondary processes. Distinct residue-specific NMR relaxation parameters were obtained for the truncated three repeat tau construct (K19) in equilibrium with structurally different, self-aggregated (saK19) or heparin-induced (hK19) fibrils. The interacting residues are restricted to R3 repeat for hK19 and to R3, R4, and R' repeats for saK19 fibrils. Furthermore, the relaxation profiles of tau monomers in equilibrium with the structurally comparable, in vitro pathological fibrils (tauAD and tauCTE) were similar but distinct from hK19 or saK19 fibrils. Thus, residue-specific relaxation identifies the important residues involved in the binding of monomers to the fibrils. The relaxation profile of the monomers in equilibrium with the NMR invisible fibril seeds potentially distinguishes the distinct structures of tau fibrils.

    Abstract The initial stages of amyloid fibrilization begin with the monomers populating aggregation-prone conformers. Characterization of such aggregation-prone conformers is crucial in the study of neurodegenerative diseases. The current study characterizes the aggregation pathway of two tau protein constructs that have been recently demonstrated to form Alzheimer's (AD) fibril structures with divalent ions and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) fibril structures with monovalent ions. The results highlight the involvement of identical residues in both the primary and secondary processes of both AD and CTE fibril propagation. Nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation experiments reveal increased flexibility of the motifs

    Abstract Silicon-based light-emitting materials have emerged as a favorable substitute to various organic and inorganic systems due to silicon’s high natural abundance, low toxicity, and excellent biocompatibility. However, efforts on the design of free-standing silicon nanoparticles with chiral non-racemic absorption and emission attributes are rather scare. Herein, we unravel the structural requirements for ligand-induced chirality in silicon-based nanomaterials by functionalizing with D- and L-isomers of a bifunctional ligand, namely, tryptophan. The structural aspects of these systems are established using high-resolution high-angle annular dark-field imaging in the scanning transmission electron microscopy mode, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Silicon nanoparticles capped with L- and D-isomers of tryptophan displayed positive and negative monosignated circular dichroic signals and circularly polarized luminescence indicating their ground- and excited-state chirality. Various studies supported by density functional theory calculations signify that the functionalization of indole ring nitrogen on the silicon surface plays a decisive role in modifying the chiroptical characteristics by generating emissive charge-transfer states. The chiroptical responses originate from the multipoint interactions of tryptophan with the nanoparticle surface through the indole nitrogen and −CO₂– groups that can transmit an enantiomeric structural imprint on the silicon surface. However, chiroptical properties are not observed in phenylalanine- and alanine-capped silicon nanoparticles, which are devoid of Si–N bonds and chiral footprints. Thus, the ground- and excited-state chiroptics in tryptophan-capped silicon nanoparticles originates from the collective effect of ligand-bound emissive charge-transfer states and chiral footprints. Being the first report on the circularly polarized luminescence in silicon nanoparticles, this work will open newer possibilities in the field of chirality.

    Abstract Long-term memory storage is modulated by the prion nature of CPEB3 forming the molecular basis for the maintenance of synaptic facilitation. Here we report that the first prion sub-domain PRD1 of mouse CPEB3 can autonomously form amyloid fibrils in vitro and punctate-like structures in vivo. A ninety-four amino acid sequence within the PRD1 domain, PRD1-core, displays high propensity towards aggregation and associated amyloid characteristics. PRD1-core is characterized using electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and solution-state NMR deuterium exchange experiments. Secondary structure elements deduced from solid-state NMR reveal a β-rich core comprising of forty amino acids at the N-terminus of PRD1-core. The synthesized twenty-three amino acid long peptide containing the longest rigid segment (E124-H145) of the PRD1-core rapidly self-aggregates and forms fibrils, indicating a limited aggregation-prone region that could potentially activate the aggregation of the full-length protein. This study provides the first step in identifying the structural trigger for the CPEB3 aggregation process.

    Abstract We probed the “dark” state involved in the protein-quantum dot (QD) interaction using a relaxation-based solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) approach. We examined the dynamics and exchange kinetics of the ubiquitin-CdTe model system, which undergoes a fast exchange in the transverse relaxation time scale. We applied the recently developed dark-state exchange saturation transfer (DEST), lifetime line broadening (ΔR₂), and exchange-induced chemical shift (δₑₓ) solution NMR techniques to obtain a residue-specific binding behavior of the protein on the QD surface. The variation in the estimated ¹⁵N–R₂ᵇᵒᵘⁿᵈ values clearly shows the dynamic nature of bound Ub. Upon mapping the amino acid residues showing a faster relaxation rate on the electrostatic potential surface of the protein, we have determined that the interaction is preferably electrostatic, and the amino acid residues involved in binding lie on the positively charged surface of the protein. We believe that our experimental approach should provide more in-depth knowledge to engineer new hybrid protein-QD systems in the future.
