Membrane-bound α-Synuclein Has a High Aggregation Propensity and the Ability to Seed the Aggregation of the Cytosolic Form

Open access
Lee, He-Jin, Choi, Chan, Lee, Seung-Jae·2002·Journal of Biological Chemistry

Abstract

Alpha-synuclein exists as at least two structural isoforms: a helix-rich, membrane-bound form and a disordered, cytosolic form. Here, we investigated the role of membrane-bound alpha-synuclein in the aggregation process. In a cell-free system consisting of isolated brain fractions, spontaneous and progressive aggregation of alpha-synuclein was observed in membranes starting at day 1, whereas no aggregation was observed in the cytosolic fraction in a 3-day period. The addition of antioxidants reduced the aggregation in the membrane fraction, implicating the role of oxidative modifications. When excess cytosolic alpha-synuclein was added to brain membranes, the rate of aggregation was increased, while the lag time was unaffected. Incorporation of cytosolic alpha-synuclein into membrane-associated aggregates was demonstrated by fractionation and co-immunoprecipitation experiments. In our recent study, we showed that mitochondrial inhibitors such as rotenone, induced alpha-synuclein aggregation in cells. In the present study using rotenone-treated cells, the earliest appearance of alpha-synuclein oligomeric species was observed in membranous compartments. Furthermore, alpha-synuclein-positive inclusions were co-stained with DiI, a membrane-partitioning fluorescent dye, confirming the presence of lipid components in alpha-synuclein aggregates. These results suggest that membrane-bound alpha-synuclein can generate nuclei that seed the aggregation of the more abundant cytosolic form.

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.
