Serum amyloid P component promotes formation of distinct aggregated lysozyme morphologies and reduces toxicity in Drosophila flies expressing F57I lysozyme
Serum amyloid protein is a known component of amyloid aggregates but its role is unclear. In their work Bergkvist and colleagues use a Drosophila model of systemic lysozyme amyloidosis to show SAP enhances the formation of stable, less-toxic amyloid-fibrils.
