We report the secreted expression byPichia pastorisof two human lyso-zyme variants F57I and W64R, associated with systemic amyloid disease, and describe their characterization by biophysical methods. Both variants have a substantially decreased thermostability compared with wild-type human lysozyme, a finding that suggests an explanation for their increased propensity to form fibrillar aggregates and generate disease.

The oligomerization status of soluble tumor necrosis factor-related apopto-sis inducing ligand (TRAIL) trimers has an overwhelming impact on cell death induction in a cell-type dependent fashion. Thus, we evaluated the ability of single and oligomerized TRAIL trimers to induce cell death in human myeloma cells. In all myeloma cell lines analyzed, oligomerized TRAIL trimers induced caspase activation and complete cell death, whereas non-oligomerized TRAIL trimers showed no or only a modest effect. ...
