Human Islet Amyloid Polypeptide (hIAPP) is a highly amyloidogenic protein cosecreted with insulin in response to glucose levels. The formation of hIAPP amyloid plaques near islet cells has been linked to the death of insulin-secreting beta-cells in humans and the progression of type II diabetes. Since both healthy individuals and those with type II diabetes produce and secrete hIAPP, it is reasonable to look for factors involved in storing hIAPP and preventing amyloidosis. We have previously shown that zinc inhibits the formation of insoluble amyloid plaques of hIAPP; however, there remains significant ambiguity in the underlying mechanisms. In this study, we show zinc binds unaggregated hIAPP at micromolar concentrations similar to those found in the extracellular environment. By contrast, the fibrillar amyloid form of hIAPP has low affinity for zinc. The binding stoichiometry obtained from ITC experiments indicates zinc favors the formation of hIAPP hexamers. High-resolution NMR structures of hIAPP bound to zinc reveal changes in the electron environment along residues that would be located along one face of the amphipathic hIAPP alpha-helix proposed as an intermediate for amyloid formation. Results from ESI-MS investigations showed that a single zinc is predominantly bound to hIAPP and revealed that zinc inhibits the formation of the dimer. At higher concentrations of zinc a second zinc binds to hIAPP, suggesting the presence of a low affinity secondary binding site. Combined, these results suggest zinc promotes the formation of oligomers while creating a energetic barrier for the formation of amyloid fibers.
