Fig. 5. Stability of the fibrils against proteolysis.

Fig. 5

Coomassie-stained denaturing protein gels of ex vivo AA amyloid fibrils and in vitro formed SAA1.1 fibrils that were incubated with different proteases for up to 300 min: proteinase K (a, n = 3) and three other proteases (pronase E (b), leucine aminopeptidase (c) and carboxypeptidase A (d), n = 1). Bands above 14 kDa originate from the proteases. Due to the harsh proteolytic conditions used in this experiment there is discernible degradation of in vitro fibrils during sample workup for electrophoresis (0 min), specifically with proteinase K and pronase E.
