Abstract Discovery of destabilization domains (DDs) of estrogen receptor ligand binding domain(ERLBD, 297-549) have led us to investigate the regulatory role of these domains on fibril formation of amyloidogenic proteins, such as α-Synuclein (αSyn) as well as human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP). For the purpose of overexpression and purification of soluble ERLBD, we have constructed the original plasmid ERLBD297-549/ pET28a. Upon induction by IPTG, ERLBD was overexpressed in bacteria, but purification was not successful because of insolubility. Here, we compare the other domain construct (ERLBD302-552) with ERLBD297-549 in order to search for the optimized condition of purification. Functional role of ERLBD302-552 on amyloid fibril formation is also discussed based on Thioflavin T (ThT) fluorescence.
