Abstract

- Protein material was extracted from amyloid-rich sections of formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded heart tissue from an individual with senile systemic amyloidosis, known to contain wild-type transthyretin as major amyloid fibril protein. Amino acid sequence analysis of tryptic peptides of this material revealed in addition to transthyretin sequences, also amino acid sequence corresponding to an N-terminal fragment of apolipoprotein A-IV. In immunohistochemistry, an antiserum to a synthetic apolipoprotein A-IV peptide labeled amyloid specifically. This peptide formed spontaneously amyloid-like fibrils in vitro and enhanced fibril formation from wild-type transthyretin. We conclude that several apolipoproteins, including apolipoprotein A-IV, may be important minor amyloid constituents, promoting fibril formation.
