Abstract

The aggregation of proteins into amyloid fibrils is associated with several neurodegenerative diseases. In Parkinson's disease it is believed that the aggregation of α-synuclein (α-syn) from monomers by intermediates into amyloid fibrils is the toxic disease-causative mechanism. Here, we studied the structure of α-syn in its amyloid state by using various biophysical approaches. Quenched hydrogen/deuterium exchange NMR spectroscopy identified five β-strands within the fibril core comprising residues 35–96 and solid-state NMR data from amyloid fibrils comprising the fibril core residues 30–110 confirmed the presence of β-sheet secondary structure. The data suggest that β1-strand interacts with β2, β2 with β3, β3 with β4, and β4 with β5. High-resolution cryoelectron microscopy revealed the protofilament boundaries of ≈2 × 3.5 nm. Based on the combination of these data and published structural studies, a fold of α-syn in the fibrils is proposed and discussed.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In the disease-associated, aggregated state of α-Syn, the N-terminal residues (37 through 97) adopt a β-sheet structure.

    “It has been reported that in the disease-associated, aggregated state of α-Syn, the N-terminal residues (37 through 97), adopts a β-sheet structure [49].”

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.
