Our group recently determined that a mutant archaeal chaperonin (Hsp 60) exhibited substantially enhanced protein folding activity at low temperatures and was able to deconstruct refractory protein aggregates. ATP dependent conversion of fibril structures into amorphous aggregates was observed in insulin amyloid preparations (Kurouski et al. Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 2012). In the current study, mechanistic insights into insulin fibril deconstruction were obtained by examination of early stage complexes between Hsp60 and fibrils in the absence of ATP. Activity of the Hsp60 was significantly curtailed without ATP; however, some fibril deconstruction occurred, which is consistent with some models of the folding cycle that predict initial removal of unproductive protein folds. Chaperonin molecules adsorbed on the fibril surface and formed chaperonin clusters with no ATP present. We propose that there are specific locations on the fibril surface where chaperonin can unravel the fibril to release short fragments. Spontaneous coagulation of these fibril fragments resulted in the formation of amorphous aggregates without the release of insulin into solution. The addition of ATP significantly increased the toxicity of the insulin fibril-chaperonin reaction products toward mammalian cells.
