Many amyloid fibrils associated with neurodegenerative diseases consist of an ordered fibril core (FC) and disordered terminal regions (TRs). The former represents a stable scaffold, while the latter is rather active in binding various partners. Current structural studies mainly focus on FC since high flexibility TRs hinders characterization. Here, by combining insensitive nuclei enhanced polarization transfer-based 1H-detected solid-state NMR cryo-EM, we explored intact structure α-syn including both further studied conformational dynamics upon to lymphocyte activation gene 3 (LAG3)─a cell surface receptor that involved transmission brains. We found N- C-TRs are free featuring similar conformation ensembles as those soluble monomers. While presence D1 domain LAG3 (L3D1), C-TR directly binds L3D1, meanwhile N-TR folds into β-strand integrates FC, which leads alteration overall property. Our work reveals synergistic transition intrinsically α-syn, sheds light mechanistic understanding essential role regulating pathology fibrils.

Abstract Intermediate species in the assembly of amyloid filaments are believed to play a central role neurodegenerative diseases and may constitute important targets for therapeutic intervention 1,2 . However, structural information about intermediate has been scarce molecular mechanisms by which amyloids assemble remain largely unknown. Here we use time-resolved cryogenic electron microscopy study vitro recombinant truncated tau (amino acid residues 297–391) into paired helical Alzheimer’s disease or chronic traumatic encephalopathy 3 We report formation shared first filament, with an ordered core comprising 302–316. Nuclear magnetic resonance indicates that same adopt rigid, β-strand-like conformations monomeric tau. At later time points, disappears observe many different filaments, structures depend on reaction conditions. end both reactions, most disappear cores as those from human brains remain. Our results provide insights processes primary secondary nucleation assembly, implications design new therapies.

Alpha-Synuclein (α-Syn) is one of the most important molecules involved in pathogenesis Parkinson’s disease and related disorders, synucleinopathies, but also several other neurodegenerative disorders with a more elusive role. This review analyzes activities α-Syn, different conformational states, monomeric, oligomeric fibrils, relation to neuronal dysfunction. The damage induced by α-Syn various conformers will be analyzed its capacity spread intracellular aggregation seeds prion-like mechanism. In view prominent role inflammation virtually all activity illustrated considering influence on glial reactivity. We others have described interaction between general cerebral dysfunctional α-Syn. Differences microglia astrocyte activation been observed when vivo presence oligomers has combined lasting peripheral inflammatory effect. reactivity was amplified, while astrocytes were damaged double stimulus, opening new perspectives for control synucleinopathies. Starting from our studies experimental models, we extended perspective find useful pointers orient future research potential therapeutic strategies disorders.

Abstract A 21-nucleotide duplication in one allele of SNCA was identified a previously described disease with abundant α-synuclein inclusions that we now call juvenile-onset synucleinopathy (JOS). This mutation translates into the insertion MAAAEKT after residue 22 α-synuclein, resulting protein 147 amino acids. Both wild-type and mutant proteins were present sarkosyl-insoluble material extracted from frontal cortex individual JOS examined by electron cryo-microscopy. The structures filaments, comprising either single protofilament, or pair protofilaments, revealed new fold differs folds Lewy body diseases multiple system atrophy (MSA). consists compact core, sequence which (residues 36–100 α-synuclein) is unaffected mutation, two disconnected density islands (A B) mixed sequences. There non-proteinaceous cofactor bound between core island A. resembles common substructure MSA Type I II dimeric its segment approximating C-terminal protofilaments B mimicking N-terminal arm partial similarity extends to locations their cofactor-binding sites. In vitro assembly recombinant mixture yielded distinct those filaments. Our findings provide insight possible mechanism fibrillation acids forms nucleus fold, around assemble during elongation.
