Wißbrock, Amelie Kühl, Toni Silbermann, Katja Becker, Albert J. Ohlenschläger, Oliver Imhof, Diana Synthesis and Evaluation of Amyloid β Derived and Amyloid β Independent Enhancers of the Peroxidase-like Activity of Heme Labile heme has been suggested to have an impact in several severe diseases. In the context of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), however, decreased levels of free heme have been reported. Therefore, we were looking for an assay system that can be used for heme concentration determination. From a biochemical point of view the peroxidase activity of the Aβ-heme complex seemed quite attractive to pursue this goal. As a consequence, a peptide that is able to increase the readout even in the case of a low heme concentration is favorable. The examination of Aβ- and non-Aβ-derived peptides in complex with heme revealed that the peroxidase-like activity significantly depends on the peptide sequence and length. A 23mer His-based peptide derived from human fatty acyl-CoA reductase 1 in complex with heme exhibited a significantly higher peroxidase activity than Aβ(40)-heme. Structural modeling of both complexes demonstrated that heme binding via a histidine can be supported by hydrogen bond interactions of a basic residue near the propionate carboxyl function of protoporphyrin IX. Furthermore, the interplay of Aβ-heme and the lipoprotein LDL as a potential physiological effector of Aβ was examined. hydrogen bond interactions;Amyloid β Derived;LDL;peroxidase activity;propionate carboxyl function;Heme Labile heme;non-A β-derived peptides;Amyloid β Independent Enhancers;acyl-CoA reductase 1;heme concentration determination;23 mer His-based peptide;AD 2016-11-29
