Familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by systemic extracellular deposition of transthyretin (TTR) amyloid fibrils. The latter have been proposed to trigger neurodegeneration through engagement of the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE). Here we show that TTR interaction with RAGE is conserved across mouse and human species and is not dependent on RAGE glycosylation. Moreover, strand D of TTR structure seems important for the TTR-RAGE interaction as well as a motif in RAGE (residues 102-118) located within the V-domain; this motif suppressed TTR aggregate-induced cytotoxicity in cell culture.
