Chaperone‐like activity of synucleins

Souza, José M., Giasson, Benoit I., Lee, Virginia M.-Y., Ischiropoulos, Harry·2000·FEBS Letters

Abstract

Synucleins are a family of small proteins that are predominantly expressed in neurons. The functions of the synucleins are not entirely understood, but they have been implicated in the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative diseases. Our data show that α‐, β‐ or γ‐synuclein suppresses the aggregation of thermally denatured alcohol dehydrogenase and chemically denatured insulin. The A53T but not the A30P mutant α‐synuclein was able to inhibit the aggregation of insulin and the chaperone‐like activity of α‐synuclein was lost upon removal of its C‐terminal residues 98–140. These results demonstrate that synucleins with the exception of the A30P mutant possess chaperone‐like activity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
