Solution conditions determine the relative importance of nucleation and growth processes in α-synuclein aggregation
Open accessAbstract
Significance: The deposition of α-synuclein as insoluble amyloid fibrils and the spreading of such species in the brain are two hallmarks of Parkinson disease. It is therefore of great importance to understand in detail the process of aggregation of this protein. We show by a series of in vitro measurements that amyloid fibrils of α-synuclein can grow under a wide range of solution conditions but that they can multiply rapidly only under a much more select set of solution conditions, mimicking those in endosomes and other organelles. The quantitative characterization of α-synuclein aggregation described here provides new insights into the microscopic mechanisms underlying α-synuclein aggregation in the context of Parkinson disease.

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.
