3D domain swapping (D.Eisenberg)...3D domain swapping (D.Eisenberg)...
a protein domain breaks its contact with other domains;a protein domain breaks its contact with other domains;its place is taken by the same domain of another protein;its place is taken by the same domain of another protein;

• L68Q mutant more stable as dimer
• dimeric L68Q mutant found in blood of HCCAA patients
• L68Q mutant forms mssive amyloid deposits
• massive brain hemorrhages and early death in HCCAA
• fevers accelerate progress of HCCAA
• N-truncated protein (THCC) found in amyloid deposits
• normal variant (L68) also participates in fibril formation
• elevated temp. or lower pH lead to oligomerization in vitro

ConclusionsConclusions
• Full-length and N-truncated HCC are both Full-length and N-truncated HCC are both capable of dimerization via 3D domain swappingcapable of dimerization via 3D domain swapping
• The dimer open interface in the hinge region is The dimer open interface in the hinge region is flexibleflexible
• S-S bridges preventing domain swapping S-S bridges preventing domain swapping inhibit dimerizationinhibit dimerization
