VISUALIZING GAUSSIAN-CHAIN LIKE STRUCTURAL MODELS OF HUMAN α-SYNUCLEIN IN MONOMERIC PRE-FIBRILLAR STATE: SOLUTION SAXS DATA AND MODELING ANALYSIS
Open accessPreprint — published as 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.138614 · Paper page
Abstract
Here, using small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) data profile as reference, we attempted to visualize conformational ensemble accessible prefibrillar monomeric state of α-synuclein in solution. In agreement with previous reports, our analysis also confirmed that α-synuclein molecules adopted disordered shape profile under non-associating conditions. Chain-ensemble modeling protocol with dummy residues provided two weighted averaged clusters of semi-extended shapes. Further, Ensemble Optimization Method (EOM) computed mole fractions of semi-extended “twisted” conformations which might co-exist in solution. Since these were only C α traces of the models, ALPHAFOLD2 server was used to search for all-atom models. Comparison with experimental data showed all predicted models disagreed equally, as individuals. Finally, we employed molecular dynamics simulations and normal mode analysis-based search coupled with SAXS data to seek better agreeing models. Overall, our analysis concludes that a shifting equilibrium of curved models with low α-helical content best-represents non-associating monomeric α-synuclein.

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.
