Effect of O-glycosylation on amyloid fibril formation of the variable domain in the Vλ6 light chain mutant Wil.

Abstract excerpt

Glycosylation is one of the major post-translational modifications in eukaryotic cells and has been reported to affect the amyloid fibril formation in several amyloidogenic proteins and peptides. In this study, we expressed a Vλ6 light chain mutant, Wil, which is an amyloidogenic mutant in AL amyloidosis, by the yeast Pichia pastoris. After separation by cation exchange chromatography, we obtained the...
