Conformational dynamics of α-synuclein: insights from mass spectrometry.
The aggregation and deposition of α-synuclein in Lewy bodies is associated with the progression of Parkinson's disease. Here, Mass Spectrometry (MS) is used in combination with Ion Mobility (IM), chemical crosslinking and Electron Capture Dissociation (ECD) to probe transient structural elements of α-synuclein and its oligomers. Each of these reveals different aspects of the conformational hete...
متن کاملDynamic protein complexes: insights from mass spectrometry.
The recent sequencing of the human genome has revealed that the human cell contains only twice the number of genes as the worm or fly (1). This implies that the regulation of gene products as well as their interactions accounts for the increased biological complexity of higher organisms. Consequently to exploit the wealth of information provided by genome sequencing it is essential to be able t...
متن کاملRegulation of developmental processes: insights from mass spectrometry-based proteomics.
Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics has become an indispensable tool for protein identification and quantification. In this paper, common MS workflows are described, with an emphasis on applications of MS-based proteomics in developmental biology. Progress has been made in the analysis of proteome changes during tissue differentiation and in various genetic perturbations. MS-based proteomic...
متن کاملConformational Ensembles of α-Synuclein Derived Peptide with Different Osmolytes from Temperature Replica Exchange Sampling
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDP) are a class of proteins that do not have a stable three-dimensional structure and can adopt a range of conformations playing various vital functional role. Alpha-synuclein is one such IDP which can aggregate into toxic protofibrils and has been associated largely with Parkinson's disease (PD) along with other neurodegenerative diseases. Osmolytes are smal...
متن کاملMolecular imaging insights into neurodegeneration: focus on α-synuclein radiotracers.
Neurodegenerative diseases characterized by the presence of α-synuclein-a hallmark of pathologic inclusions termed Lewy bodies-include Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and multiple-system atrophy. Although motor symptoms are related to the altered presynaptic dopaminergic function in these diseases, the appearance of α-synuclein inclusions precedes the involvement of the nigrostr...
