Soluble low-molecular-weight oligomers formed during the early stage of amyloid aggregation are considered the major toxic species in amyloidosis. The structure-function relationship between oligomeric assemblies and the cytotoxicity in amyloid diseases are still elusive due to the heterogeneous and transient nature of these aggregation intermediates. To uncover the structural characteristics of toxic oligomeric intermediates, we compared the self-assembly dynamics and structures of SOD128–38, a cytotoxic fragment of the superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) associated with the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, with its two non-toxic mutants G33V and G33W using molecular dynamics simulations. Single-point glycine substitutions in SOD128–38 have been reported to abolish the amyloid toxicity. Our simulation results showed that the toxic SOD128–38 and its non-toxic mutants followed different aggregation pathways featuring distinct aggregation intermediates. Specifically, wild-type SOD128–38 initially self-assembled into random coil rich oligomers, among which fibrillar aggregates comprised of well-defined curved single-layer β-Sheets were nucleated via coil-to-sheet conversions and the formation of β-barrels as intermediates. In contrast, the non-toxic G33V/G33W mutants readily assembled into small β-sheet rich oligomers and then coagulated with each other into cross-β fibrils formed by two-layer β-sheets without forming β-barrels as the intermediates. The direct observation of β-barrel oligomers during the assembly of toxic SOD128–38 fragments but not the non-toxic glycine-substitution mutants strongly support β-barrels as the toxic oligomers in amyloidosis, probably via interactions with cell membrane and forming amyloid pores. With well-defined structures, the β-barrel might serve as the novel therapeutic targets against amyloid-related diseases. The self-assembly dynamics of SOD128–38 and its G33V/G33W mutants. The wild-type SOD128–38 initially nucleated into unstructured oligomers, followed by a conformational conversion into β-sheets and the formation of β-barrel intermediates before the emergence of nanofibrils comprised of curved single-layer β-sheets. The non-toxic G33V/G33W mutants aggregated via a different aggregation pathway, where the peptides first assembled into small β-sheets and these β-sheets further coagulated with each other into cross-β nanofibrils without forming β-barrels as intermediates.
