Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides amyloid fibrils comprising a plurality of modified β solenoid protein (mBSP) monomers. The mBSP monomers are modified to enhance self-assembly and are useful in a variety of applications.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An amyloid fibril comprising a plurality of modified β solenoid protein (mBSP) monomers, wherein each mBSP monomer is modified from a non-amyloidogenic wild-type β solenoid protein (WT-BSP) to remove an end cap that prevents amyloid aggregation and thereby allow for controlled amyloid self-assembly. 2. The amyloid fibril of claim 1 , wherein the mBSP monomers are derived from an antifreeze protein. 3. The amyloid fibril of claim 2 , wherein the antifreeze protein is a spruce budworm antifreeze protein. 4. The amyloid fibril of claim 3 , wherein the mBSP has the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1. 5. The amyloid fibril of claim 1 , wherein the antifreeze protein is a rye grass antifreeze protein. 6. The amyloid fibril of claim 5 , wherein the mBSP has the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 2. 7. The amyloid fibril of claim 1 , that is modified to include at least one amino acid residue that promotes attachment of the fibril to a solid support, a nanoparticle, a biological molecule, or a second amyloid fibril.
