Mutual conformational selection and population shift followed by minor induced fit optimization is the key mechanism in biomolecular recognition; and monomers and small oligomers binding to amyloid seeds in fibril growth is a molecular recognition event. Here, we describe amyloid aggregation, preferred species, cross-species barriers and transmission within the broad framework of molecular recognition. Cross seeding of amyloid species is governed by conformational selection of compatible (complementary) states. If the dominant conformations of two species are similar, they can cross-seed each other; on the other hand, if they are sufficiently different, they will grow into different fibrils, reflecting species barriers. Such a scenario has recently been observed for the tau protein which has four repeats. While a construct consisting of repeats 1, 3 and 4 can serve as a seed for the entire 4-repeat tau segment, the inverse does not hold. On the other hand, the tau protein repeats with the characteristic U-turn shape can cross-seed Alzheimer’s Aβ, and similarly the Islet Amyloid Polypeptide (IAPP). Within this framework, we suggest that the so-called ‘central dogma’ of amyloid formation, where aggregation takes place through non-specific backbone hydrogen bonding interactions which are common to all peptides and proteins, is a simple reflection of the heterogeneous, polymorphic free energy landscape of amyloid species. Here, we review available data and make some propositions addressing this key problem. In particular, we argue that recent theoretical and experimental observations support the key role of selective molecular recognition in amyloidosis and in determining cross-species barriers and transmission.
