Journal: Nat Commun / Year: 2024 Title: E22G Aβ40 fibril structure and kinetics illuminate how Aβ40 rather than Aβ42 triggers familial Alzheimer's.

Unlike sporadic AD, familial AD (FAD) patients with the mutation exhibit more Aβ40 in the plaque core. However, structural details of E22G Aβ40 fibrils remain elusive, hindering therapeutic progress. Here, we determine a distinctive W-shaped parallel β-sheet structure through co-analysis by cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM) and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) of in-vitro-prepared E22G Aβ40 fibrils. The E22G Aβ40 fibrils displays typical amyloid features in cotton-wool plaques in the FAD, such as low thioflavin-T fluorescence and a less compact unbundled morphology. Furthermore, kinetic and MD studies reveal previously unidentified in-vitro evidence that E22G Aβ40, rather than Aβ42, may trigger Aβ misfolding in the FAD, and prompt subsequent misfolding of wild-type (WT) Aβ40/Aβ42 via cross-seeding. The results provide insight into how the Arctic mutation promotes AD via Aβ40 accumulation and cross-propagation.
In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
