Interaction of novel benzanthrone derivative with amyloid lysozyme
Abstract
A novel benzanthrone derivative AM18 was investigated with respect to its photophysical properties
when bound to native, oligomeric and fibrillar hen egg white lysozyme. As shown by fluorimetric
titration AM18 is more sensitive to pathogenic protein aggregates than Thioflavin T, however has no
ability to differentiate between mature and immature lysozyme fibrils. The recovered affinity and
fluorescence response of the novel probe to amyloid protein appeared to be similar to those of recently
developed amyloid lysozyme-sensitive dyes like e. g. Nile Red and cyanine dye 7515. Despite the high
increase of the probe emission in the presence of amyloid lysozyme compared to its fluorescence in
buffer, the minimal amount that could be detected by 1 μM AM18 was 10 times lower for amyloid-native
protein solutions due to high affinity of the dye for lysozyme monomers. In general, because of high
quantum yields and “signal-to-noise” ratios in the presence of pathogenic protein aggregates AM18
appeared to be an effective tool for amyloid detection and characterization in vitro, being however unable
to detect pathogenic protein aggregates in vivo like e.g. recently reported p-FTAA because of the
sensitivity to lipids. Compared to previously reported AM3 a novel dye showed 2-fold lower “signal-tonoise” ratio in the presence of fibrillar lysozyme, and 2 fold lower blue shift of emission maximum. This
tendency was explained in terms of decreased charge transfer from the donor to acceptor groupes of
AM18 compared to AM3. Finally, as concluded from the comparison of AM18 and previously studied
benzanthrone derivatives, the 5 nm – red edge excitation shift of AM18 is indicative of its possible
binding to fibril “deep cavities”, containing no water. High anisotropy values of amyloid-bound dye led
us to conclusion that the enhanced fluorescence of the probe is associated with the decrease of the
rotational motion of the amino-substitute about the benzanthrone unit. This is a sign of AM18 behaviour
as a molecular rotor
