Abstract
This study has found that the Maltose binding protein Aβ42 fusion protein (MBP-Aβ42) forms soluble oligomers while the shorter MBP-Aβ16 fusion and control MBP did not. MBP-Aβ42, but neither MBP-Aβ16 nor control MBP, was toxic in a dose-dependent manner in both yeast and primary cortical neuronal cells. This study demonstrates the potential utility of MBP-Aβ42 as a reagent for drug screening assays in yeast and neuronal cell cultures and as a candidate for further Aβ42 characterization.
