A Shared Amyloid Architecture in Cardiac Fibrils from Three Neuropathy-Associated ATTR Variants

María del Carmen Fernández‐Ramírez, Shumaila Afrin, Binh An Nguyen, Virender Pratap Singh, Maja Pękała, Preeti Singh, Yasmin Ahmed, Rose Pedretti, Andrew S. Lemoff, Barbara Kluve‐Beckerman, Farzeen Chhapra, David S Eisenberg, Lorena Saelices

The paper determines the cryo-EM structures of three neuropathy-associated ATTR variants and reveals a shared amyloid core despite different mutations and clinical phenotypes.

Structural polymorphism of amyloid fibrils in cardiac ATTR amyloidosis revealed by cryo-electron microscopy

Binh An Nguyen, Shumaila Afrin, Virender Pratap Singh, Yasmin Ahmed, Rose Pedretti, María del Carmen Fernández‐Ramírez, Merrill Douglas Benson, Michael R. Sawaya, Preeti Singh, Qin Cao, David R. Boyer, Alexander Pope, Paweł M. Wydorski, Siddharth Kumar, Farzeen Chhapra, , Lorena Saelices

The paper uses cryo-electron microscopy to show that cardiac ATTR amyloid fibrils are structurally polymorphic, independent of genotype and phenotype, challenging the one-fibril-fold-per-disease paradigm.
