Observations that B-sheet proteins form amyloid fibrils under at least partially denaturing conditions has raised questions as to whether these fibrils assemble by docking of preformed B-structure or by association of unfolded polypeptide segments. By using a-helical protein apomyoglobin, we show that the ease of fibril assembly correlates with the extent of denaturation. By contrast, monomeric beta-sheet intermediates could not be observed under the conditions of fibril formation. These data suggest that amyloid fibril formation from apomyoglobin depends on disordered polypeptide segments and conditions that are selectively unfavorable to folding. However, it is inevitable that such conditions often stabilize protein folding intermediates.
