Membrane Binding Strongly Affecting the Dopamine Reactivity Induced by Copper Prion and Copper/Amyloid-beta (Abeta) Peptides. A Ternary Copper/Abeta/Prion Peptide Complex Stabilized and Solubilized in Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Micelles
The combination between dyshomeostatic levels of catecholamine neurotransmitters and redox-active metals such as copper and iron exacerbates the oxidative stress condition that typically affects neurodegenerative diseases. We report a comparative study of the oxidative reactivity of copper complexes with amyloid-β (Aβ(40)) and the prion peptide fragment 76-114 (PrP(76-114)), containing the high-affinity binding site, toward dopamine and 4-methylcatechol, in aqueous buffer and in sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles, as a model membrane environment. The competitive oxidative and covalent modifications undergone by the peptides were also evaluated. The high binding affinity of Cu/peptide to micelles and lipid membranes leads to a strong reduction (Aβ(40)) and quenching (PrP(76-114)) of the oxidative efficiency of the binary complexes and to a stabilization and redox silencing of the ternary complex Cu(II)/Aβ(40)/PrP(76-114), which is highly reactive in solution. The results improve our understanding of the pathological and protective effects associated with these complexes, depending on the physiological environment.
