Structural basis for the inhibition of IAPP fibril formation by the co-chaperonin prefoldin

Integrated kinetic and structural investigations reveal that the ubiquitous co-chaperonin prefoldin interacts with its coiled-coil helices on the islet amyloid polypeptide fibril surface and fibril ends to inhibit fibril elongation and secondary nucleation.
