| Abstract | The 1–19 region of human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP1–19) is a dominating factor causing the interaction between hIAPP and membrane. It contains a short sequence RLANFLV that fulfils the amino-acid arrangement of the inversed cholesterol recognition amino-acid consensus (CARC) and may mediate a direct contact of hIAPP with cholesterol. In this study, we focused on the interaction of hIAPP1–19 with the lipid membrane composed of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) and cholesterol, and examined the role of the CARC motif in the peptide–membrane interaction. Using differential scanning calorimetry, 31P-NMR spectroscopy, 1H-NMR titration measurement and dye leakage assay, we demonstrated that hIAPP1–19 interacts with DPPC vesicles more strongly in the presence of cholesterol than it does in the absence of cholesterol. The peptide–membrane interaction promotes the domain segregation of the raft-containing membrane. The peptide is more disruptive to the cholesterol-containing membrane than it is to the cholesterol-depleted membrane. The substitution of the residue Phe at position 15 of hIAPP1–19 by Leu leads to a distinct decrease in the peptide–membrane interaction in the presence of cholesterol, but the effect of the residue substitution on the peptide–membrane interaction is very small in the absence of cholesterol. The circular dichroism data indicated that a conversion of the structure from a random coil to an α-helix is induced by cholesterol for both peptides and the structural conversion is more Chol-dependent for the wild-type peptide than the F15L variant. Our findings suggest that cholesterol could facilitate the insertion and aggregation of the N-terminal domain of hIAPP in the membrane, and the phenylalanine in the CARC motif could be involved in the interaction of the N-terminal domain with Chol. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
