Formation of covalent di-tyrosine dimers in recombinant α-synuclein
Parkinson's disease is associated with fibril deposition in the diseased brain. Misfolding events of the intrinsically disordered synaptic protein α-synuclein are suggested to lead to the formation of transient oligomeric and cytotoxic species. The etiology of Parkinson's disease is further associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and formation of reactive oxygen species. Oxidative stress caus...
متن کاملCovalent α-Synuclein Dimers: Chemico-Physical and Aggregation Properties
The aggregation of α-synuclein into amyloid fibrils constitutes a key step in the onset of Parkinson's disease. Amyloid fibrils of α-synuclein are the major component of Lewy bodies, histological hallmarks of the disease. Little is known about the mechanism of aggregation of α-synuclein. During this process, α-synuclein forms transient intermediates that are considered to be toxic species. The ...
متن کاملRole of C-terminal negative charges and tyrosine residues in fibril formation of α-synuclein
α-Synuclein (140 amino acids), one of the causative proteins of Parkinson's disease, forms amyloid fibrils in brain neuronal cells. In order to further explore the contributions of the C-terminal region of α-synuclein in fibril formation and also to understand the overall mechanism of fibril formation, we reduced the number of negatively charged residues in the C-terminal region using mutagenes...
متن کاملInduction of CNS α-synuclein pathology by fibrillar and non-amyloidogenic recombinant α-synuclein
BACKGROUND α-Synuclein (αS) is the major component of several types of brain inclusions including Lewy bodies, a hallmark of Parkinson's disease. Aberrant aggregation of αS also is associated with cellular demise in multiple neurologic disorders collectively referred to as synucleinopathies. Recent studies demonstrate the induction of αS pathology by a single intracerebral injection of exogenou...
متن کاملThe effect of tyrosine residues on α-synuclein fibrillation.
Aggregation of the intrinsically disordered protein α-synuclein into ordered amyloid fibrils is implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. To unravel the role of Tyr residues in α-synuclein fibrillation, we prepared recombinant N-terminal (Y39A) and C-terminal (Y(125,133,136)A) mutants of α-synuclein and examined their fibrillation propensities by thioflavin T and 1-anilinonaphthale...
