Endogenous α-SYN protein analysis on human brain tissues using single-molecule pull-down assay
Alpha-synuclein (α-SYN) is a central molecule in Parkinson’s disease pathogenesis. Despite several studies, the molecular nature of endogenous α-SYN especially in human brain samples is still not well understood due to the lack of reliable methods and the limited amount of bio-specimens. Here, we introduce α-SYN single-molecule pull-down (α-SYN SiMPull) assay combined with in vivo protein cross...
متن کاملSingle-Molecule Pull-Down FRET to Dissect the Mechanisms of Biomolecular Machines.
Spliceosomes are multimegadalton RNA-protein complexes responsible for the faithful removal of noncoding segments (introns) from pre-messenger RNAs (pre-mRNAs), a process critical for the maturation of eukaryotic mRNAs for subsequent translation by the ribosome. Both the spliceosome and ribosome, as well as many other RNA and DNA processing machineries, contain central RNA components that endow...
متن کاملIn vitro pull-down assay without expression constructs.
The in vitro pull-down assay is a well-established method to confirm direct binding in protein-protein interactions that was inferred from other interaction assays, such as two-hybrid analysis (1). The assay is usually carried out using glutathione-S-transferasetagged or His-tagged fusion proteins as the pull-down drivers and in vitro-translated 35S-labeled proteins as probes to detect interact...
متن کاملInterplay of alpha-synuclein binding and conformational switching probed by single-molecule fluorescence.
We studied the coupled binding and folding of alpha-synuclein, an intrinsically disordered protein linked with Parkinson's disease. Using single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer and correlation methods, we directly probed protein membrane association, structural distributions, and dynamics. Results revealed an intricate energy landscape on which binding of alpha-synuclein to amph...
متن کاملConformational equilibria in monomeric alpha-synuclein at the single molecule level
Human α-Synuclein (αSyn) is a natively unfolded protein whose aggregation into amyloid fibrils is involved in Parkinson disease. A full comprehension of the structure and dynamics of early intermediates leading to the aggregated states is an unsolved problem of essential importance in deciphering the molecular mechanisms of αSyn aggregation and formation of fibrils. Traditional bulk techniques ...
