Abstract

The accumulation of aggregated alpha-synuclein is thought to contribute to the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease, but the mechanism of toxicity is poorly understood. Recent studies suggest that aggregated proteins cause toxicity by inhibiting the ubiquitin-dependent proteasomal system. In the present study, we explore how alpha-synuclein interacts with the proteasome. The proteasome exists as a 26 S and a 20 S species. The 26 S proteasome is composed of the 19 S cap and the 20 S core. Aggregated alpha-synuclein strongly inhibited the function of the 26 S proteasome. The IC(50) of aggregated alpha-synuclein for ubiquitin-independent 26 S proteasomal activity was 1 nm. Aggregated alpha-synuclein also inhibited 26 S ubiquitin-dependent proteasomal activity at a dose of 500 nm. In contrast, the IC(50) of aggregated alpha-synuclein for 20 S proteasomal activity was > 1 microm. This suggests that aggregated alpha-synuclein selectively interacts with the 19 S cap. Monomeric alpha-synuclein also inhibited proteasomal activity but with lower affinity and less potency. Recombinant monomeric alpha-synuclein inhibited the activity of the 20 S proteasomal core with an IC(50) > 10 microm, exhibited no inhibition of 26 S ubiquitin-dependent proteasomal activity at doses up to 5 microm, and exhibited only partial inhibition (50%) of the 26 S ubiquitin-independent proteasomal activity at doses up to 10 mm. Binding studies demonstrate that both aggregated and monomeric alpha-synuclein selectively bind to the proteasomal protein S6', a subunit of the 19 S cap. These studies suggest that proteasomal inhibition by aggregated alpha-synuclein could be mediated by interaction with S6'.

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.
