In light chain amyloidosis (AL), aberrant monoclonal antibody light chains (LCs) deposit in vital organs causing organ damage. Each AL patient features a unique LC; previous cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) studies revealed different amyloid structures in different AL patients. How LC mutations influence amyloid structures remains unclear. We report a cryo-EM structure of cardiac AL-224L amyloid (2.92 Å resolution) from λ6-LC family, which is overrepresented in AL amyloidosis. Comparison ...[more]
