Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) is a hormone cosecreted with insulin by pancreatic β cells. Upon contact with lipid bilayers, it is stabilized into a heterogeneous ensemble of structural states. These processes are associated with gains of function, including catalysis of β sheet-rich amyloid formation, cell membrane penetration, loss of membrane integrity, and cytotoxicity. These contribute to the dysfunction of β cells, a central component in the pathology and treatment of diabetes. To gain mechanistic insight into these phenomena, a related series of substituted oligoquinolines were designed. These inhibitors are unique in that they have the capacity to affect both solution- and phospholipid bilayer-catalyzed IAPP self-assembly. Importantly, we show that this activity is associated with the oligoquinoline's capacity to irreversibly adopt a noncovalent fold. This suggests that compact foldamer scaffolds, such as oligoquinoline, are an important paradigm for conformational manipulation of disordered protein state.
