α-Synuclein (α-syn) is an intrinsically disordered protein abundantly distributed in presynaptic terminals. Aggregation of α-syn into Lewy bodies (LB) is a molecular hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD). α-Syn features an extreme conformational diversity, which adapts to different conditions and fulfills versatile functions. However, the molecular mechanism of α-syn transformation and the relation between different structural species and their functional and pathogenic roles in neuronal activiti ...[more]

Project description:The object of our analysis is the structure of alpha-synuclein (ASyn), which, under in vivo conditions, associates with presynaptic vesicles. Misfolding of ASyn is known to be implicated in Parkinson's disease. The availability of structural information for both the micelle-bound and amyloid form of ASyn enables us to speculate on the specific mechanism of amyloid transformation. This analysis is all the more interesting given the fact that-Unlike in Aβ(1-42) amyloids-only the central fragment (30-100) of ASyn has a fibrillar structure, whereas, its N- and C-terminal fragments (1-30 and 100-140, respectively) are described as random coils. Our work addresses the following question: Can the ASyn chain-as well as the aforementioned individual fragments-adopt globular conformations? In order to provide an answer, we subjected the corresponding sequences to simulations carried out using Robetta and I-Tasser, both of which are regarded as accurate protein structure predictors. In addition, we also applied the fuzzy oil drop (FOD) model, which, in addition to optimizing the protein's internal free energy, acknowledges the presence of an external force field contributed by the aqueous solvent. This field directs hydrophobic residues to congregate near the center of the protein body while exposing hydrophilic residues on its surface. Comparative analysis of the obtained models suggests that fragments which do not participate in forming the amyloid fibril (i.e., 1-30 and 100-140) can indeed attain globular conformations. We also explain the influence of mutations observed in vivo upon the susceptibility of ASyn to undergo amyloid transformation. In particular, the 30-100 fragment (which adopts a fibrillar structure in PDB) is not predicted to produce a centralized hydrophobic core by any of the applied toolkits (Robetta, I-Tasser, and FOD). This means that in order to minimize the entropically disadvantageous contact between hydrophobic residues and the polar solvent, ASyn adopts the form of a ribbonlike micelle (rather than a spherical one). In other words, the ribbonlike micelle represents a synergy between the conformational preferences of the protein chain and the influence of its environment.

Project description:The E46K genetic missense mutation of the wild-type ?-synuclein protein was recently identified in a family of Spanish origin with hereditary Parkinson's disease. Detailed understanding of the structures of the monomeric E46K mutant-type ?-synuclein protein as well as the impact of the E46K missense mutation on the conformations and free energy landscapes of the wild-type ?-synuclein are required for gaining insights into the pathogenic mechanism of Parkinson's disease. In this study, we use extensive parallel tempering molecular dynamics simulations along with thermodynamic calculations to assess the secondary and tertiary structural properties as well as the conformational preferences of the monomeric wild-type and E46K mutant-type ?-synuclein proteins in an aqueous solution environment. We also present the residual secondary structure component conversion stabilities with dynamics using a theoretical strategy, which we most recently developed. To the best of our knowledge, this study presents the first detailed comparison of the structural and thermodynamic properties of the wild-type and E46K mutant-type ?-synuclein proteins in an aqueous solution environment at the atomic level with dynamics. We find that the E46K mutation results not only in local but also in long-range changes in the structural properties of the wild-type ?-synuclein protein. The mutation site shows a significant decrease in helical content as well as a large increase in ?-sheet structure formation upon E46K mutation. In addition, the ?-sheet content of the C-terminal region increases significantly in the E46K mutant-type ?S in comparison to the wild-type ?S. Our theoretical strategy developed to assess the thermodynamic preference of secondary structure transitions indicates that this shift in secondary structure is the result of a decrease in the thermodynamic preference of turn to helix conversions while the coil to ?-sheet preference increases for these residues. Long-range intramolecular protein interactions of the C-terminal with the N-terminal and NAC regions increase upon E46K mutation, resulting in more compact structures for the E46K mutant-type rather than wild-type ?S. However, the E46K mutant-type ?S structures are less stable than the wild-type ?S. Overall, our results show that the E46K mutant-type ?S has a higher propensity to aggregate than the wild-type ?S and that the N-terminal and C-terminal regions are reactive toward fibrillization and aggregation upon E46K mutation and we explain the associated reasons based on the structural properties herein. Small molecules or drugs that can block the specific residues forming abundant ?-sheet structure, which we report here, might help to reduce the reactivity of these intrinsically disordered fibrillogenic proteins toward aggregation and their toxicity.

Project description:Synucleinopathies, which include multiple system atrophy (MSA), Parkinson's disease, Parkinson's disease with dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), are human neurodegenerative diseases1. Existing treatments are at best symptomatic. These diseases are characterized by the presence of, and believed to be caused by the formation of, filamentous inclusions of α-synuclein in brain cells2,3. However, the structures of α-synuclein filaments from the human brain are unknown. Here, using cryo-electron microscopy, we show that α-synuclein inclusions from the brains of individuals with MSA are made of two types of filament, each of which consists of two different protofilaments. In each type of filament, non-proteinaceous molecules are present at the interface of the two protofilaments. Using two-dimensional class averaging, we show that α-synuclein filaments from the brains of individuals with MSA differ from those of individuals with DLB, which suggests that distinct conformers or strains characterize specific synucleinopathies. As is the case with tau assemblies4-9, the structures of α-synuclein filaments extracted from the brains of individuals with MSA differ from those formed in vitro using recombinant proteins, which has implications for understanding the mechanisms of aggregate propagation and neurodegeneration in the human brain. These findings have diagnostic and potential therapeutic relevance, especially because of the unmet clinical need to be able to image filamentous α-synuclein inclusions in the human brain.

Project description:Fungal "Versatile carboxylic ester hydrolases" are enzymes with great biotechnological interest. Here we carried out a bioinformatic screening to find these proteins in genomes from Agaricales, by means of searching for conserved motifs, sequence and phylogenetic analysis, and three-dimensional modeling. Moreover, we reconstructed the molecular evolution of these enzymes along the time by inferring and analyzing the sequence of ancestral intermediate forms.The properties of the ancestral candidates are discussed on the basis of their three-dimensional structural models, the hydrophobicity of the lid, and the substrate binding intramolecular tunnel, revealing all of them featured properties of these enzymes. The evolutionary history of the putative lipases revealed an increase on the length and hydrophobicity of the lid region, as well as in the size of the substrate binding pocket, during evolution time. These facts suggest the enzymes' specialization towards certain substrates and their subsequent loss of promiscuity.These results bring to light the presence of different pools of lipases in fungi with different habitats and life styles. Despite the consistency of the data gathered from reconstruction of ancestral sequences, the heterologous expression of some of these candidates would be essential to corroborate enzymes' activities.

Project description:The A53T genetic missense mutation of the wild-type ?-synuclein (?S) protein was initially identified in Greek and Italian families with familial Parkinson's disease. Detailed understanding of the structures and the changes induced in the wild-type ?S structure by the A53T mutation, as well as establishing the direct relationships between the rapid conformational changes and free energy landscapes of these intrinsically disordered fibrillogenic proteins, helps to enhance our fundamental knowledge and to gain insights into the pathogenic mechanism of Parkinson's disease. We employed extensive parallel tempering molecular dynamics simulations along with thermodynamic calculations to determine the secondary and tertiary structural properties as well as the conformational free energy surfaces of the wild-type and A53T mutant-type ?S proteins in an aqueous solution medium using both implicit and explicit water models. The confined aqueous volume effect in the simulations of disordered proteins using an explicit model for water is addressed for a model disordered protein. We also assessed the stabilities of the residual secondary structure component interconversions in ?S based on free energy calculations at the atomic level with dynamics using our recently developed theoretical strategy. To the best of our knowledge, this study presents the first detailed comparison of the structural properties linked directly to the conformational free energy landscapes of the monomeric wild-type and A53T mutant-type ?-synuclein proteins in an aqueous solution environment. Results demonstrate that the ?-sheet structure is significantly more altered than the helical structure upon A53T mutation of the monomeric wild-type ?S protein in aqueous solution. The ?-sheet content close to the mutation site in the N-terminal region is more abundant while the non-amyloid-? component (NAC) and C-terminal regions show a decrease in ?-sheet abundance upon A53T mutation. Obtained results utilizing our new theoretical strategy show that the residual secondary structure conversion stabilities resulting in ?-helix formation are not significantly affected by the mutation. Interestingly, the residual secondary structure conversion stabilities show that secondary structure conversions resulting in ?-sheet formation are influenced by the A53T mutation and the most stable residual transition yielding ?-sheet occurs directly from the coil structure. Long-range interactions detected between the NAC region and the N- or C-terminal regions of the wild-type ?S disappear upon A53T mutation. The A53T mutant-type ?S structures are thermodynamically more stable than those of the wild-type ?S protein structures in aqueous solution. Overall, the higher propensity of the A53T mutant-type ?S protein to aggregate in comparison to the wild-type ?S protein is related to the increased ?-sheet formation and lack of strong intramolecular long-range interactions in the N-terminal region in comparison to its wild-type form. The specific residual secondary structure component stabilities reported herein provide information helpful for designing and synthesizing small organic molecules that can block the ?-sheet forming residues, which are reactive toward aggregation.

Project description:Alpha-synuclein (?-syn) is localized in cellular organelles of most neurons, but many of its physiological functions are only partially understood. ?-syn accumulation is associated with Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and multiple system atrophy as well as other synucleinopathies; however, the exact pathomechanisms that underlie these neurodegenerative diseases remain elusive. In this review, we describe what is known about ?-syn function and pathophysiological changes in different cellular structures and organelles, including what is known about its behavior as a prion-like protein. We summarize current knowledge of ?-syn and its pathological forms, covering its effect on each organelle, including aggregation and toxicity in different model systems, with special interest on the mitochondria due to its relevance during the apoptotic process of dopaminergic neurons. Moreover, we explore the effect that ?-syn exerts by interacting with chromatin remodeling proteins that add or remove histone marks, up-regulate its own expression, and resume the impairment that ?-syn induces in vesicular traffic by interacting with the endoplasmic reticulum. We then recapitulate the events that lead to Golgi apparatus fragmentation, caused by the presence of ?-syn. Finally, we report the recent findings about the accumulation of ?-syn, indirectly produced by the endolysosomal system. In conclusion, many important steps into the understanding of ?-syn have been made using in vivo and in vitro models; however, the time is right to start integrating observational studies with mechanistic models of ?-syn interactions, in order to look at a more complete picture of the pathophysiological processes underlying ?-synucleinopathies.

Project description:Human ?-synuclein (?S) is an intrinsically disordered protein associated with Parkinson's disease. Molecular mechanisms of corruptive misfolding and aggregation of ?S resulting in the disease, as well as the structure and other properties of the corresponding oligomers are not entirely understood yet, preventing the development of efficient therapies. In this study, we investigate the folding dynamics of initially unfolded hypothetical ?S constructs in water using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations. We also employ the novel essential collective dynamics method to analyze the results obtained from the simulations. Our comparative analysis of monomeric, dimeric, and tetrameric ?S models reveals pronounced differences in their structure and stability, emphasizing the importance of small oligomers, particularly dimers, in the process of misfolding.

Project description:Increasing evidence suggests that the process of alpha-synuclein (?-syn) aggregation from monomers into amyloid fibrils and Lewy bodies, via oligomeric intermediates plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of different synucleinopathies, including Parkinson's disease (PD), multiple system atrophy and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). However, the nature of the toxic species and the mechanisms by which they contribute to neurotoxicity and disease progression remain elusive. Over the past two decades, significant efforts and resources have been invested in studies aimed at identifying and targeting toxic species along the pathway of ?-syn fibrillization. Although this approach has helped to advance the field and provide insights into the biological properties and toxicity of different ?-syn species, many of the fundamental questions regarding the role of ?-syn aggregation in PD remain unanswered, and no therapeutic compounds targeting ?-syn aggregates have passed clinical trials. Several factors have contributed to this slow progress, including the complexity of the aggregation pathways and the heterogeneity and dynamic nature of ?-syn aggregates. In the majority of experiment, the ?-syn samples used contain mixtures of ?-syn species that exist in equilibrium and their ratio changes upon modifying experimental conditions. The failure to quantitatively account for the distribution of different ?-syn species in different studies has contributed not only to experimental irreproducibility but also to misinterpretation of results and misdirection of valuable resources. Towards addressing these challenges and improving experimental reproducibility in Parkinson's research, we describe here a simple centrifugation-based filtration protocol for the isolation, quantification and assessment of the distribution of ?-syn monomers, oligomers and fibrils, in heterogeneous ?-syn samples of increasing complexity. The protocol is simple, does not require any special instrumentation and can be performed rapidly on multiple samples using small volumes. Here, we present and discuss several examples that illustrate the applications of this protocol and how it could contribute to improving the reproducibility of experiments aimed at elucidating the structural basis of ?-syn aggregation, seeding activity, toxicity and pathology spreading. This protocol is applicable, with slight modifications, to other amyloid-forming proteins.
