Figure 5. Model for the influence of polyP on fibril formation, morphology, and uptake.

Figure 5.

PolyP accelerates amyloid fibril formation by nucleating pre-fibrillar oligomers. PolyP-associated fibrils have significantly altered fibril morphology. The interaction of polyP with amyloidogenic α-synuclein interferes with their membrane association and there prevents cellular uptake.
