The human chaperonin Hsp60 is thought to play a role in the progression of Alzheimer's disease by mitigating against intracellular beta-amyloid stress. Here, we show that the bacterial homolog GroEL (51% sequence identity) reduces the neurotoxic effects of amyloid beta(1-42) (A beta 42) on human neural stem cell-derived neuronal cultures. To understand the mechanism of GroEL-mediated abrogation of neurotoxicity, we studied the interaction of A beta 42 with GroEL using a variety of biophysical techniques. A beta 42 binds to GroEL as a monomer with a lifetime of similar to 1 ms, as determined from global analysis of multiple relaxation-based NMR experiments. Dynamic light scattering demonstrates that GroEL dissolves small amounts of high-molecular-weight polydisperse aggregates present in fresh soluble A beta 42 preparations. The residue-specific transverse relaxation rate profile for GroEL-bound A beta 42 reveals the presence of three anchor-binding regions (residues 16-21, 31-34, and 40-41) located within the hydrophobic GroEL-consensus binding sequences. Single-molecule FRET analysis of A beta 42 binding to GroEL results in no significant change in the FRET efficiency of a doubly labeled A beta 42 construct, indicating that A beta 42 samples a random coil ensemble when bound to GroEL. Finally, GroEL substantially slows down the disappearance of NMR visible A beta 42 species and the appearance of A beta 42 protofibrils and fibrils as monitored by electron and atomic force microscopies. The latter observations correlate with the effect of GroEL on the time course of A beta 42-induced neurotoxicity. These data provide a physical basis for understanding how Hsp60 may serve to slow down the progression of Alzheimer's disease.
