Inactive S. aureus Cas9 downregulates alpha-synuclein and reduces mtDNA damage and oxidative stress levels in human stem cell model of Parkinson’s disease

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases, but no disease modifying therapies have been successful in clinical translation presenting a major unmet medical need.

Lipids at the crossroad of α-synuclein function and dysfunction: Biological and pathological implications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Since its discovery, the study of the biological role ofα-synuclein and its pathologicalimplications has been the subject of increasing interest. The propensity to adoptdifferent conformational states governing its aggregation and fibrillation makes ...

Lipid peroxidation is essential for α-synuclein-induced cell death. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease and its pathogenesis is closely associated with oxidative stress. Deposition of aggregated α-synuclein (α-Syn) occurs in familial and sporadic forms of Parkinson's disease.

Functions of Intracellular Alpha-Synuclein in Microglia: Implications for Parkinson’s Disease Risk

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021
Alpha-synuclein accumulation in dopaminergic neurons is one of the primary features of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Despite its toxic properties during PD, alpha-synuclein has some important physiological functions.

Dopamine-induced conformational changes in alpha-synuclein. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
Oligomerization and aggregation of alpha-synuclein molecules play a major role in neuronal dysfunction and loss in Parkinson's disease [1]. However, alpha-synuclein oligomerization and aggregation have mostly been detected indirectly in cells using ...

Localization of α-synuclein in teleost central nervous system: immunohistochemical and Western blot evidence by 3D5 monoclonal antibody in the common carp, Cyprinus carpio [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Alpha synuclein (α-syn) is a 140 amino acid vertebrate-specific protein, highly expressed in the human nervous system and abnormally accumulated in Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders, known as synucleinopathies.

Alpha Synuclein: Neurodegeneration and Inflammation

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
Alpha-Synuclein (α-Syn) is one of the most important molecules involved in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease and related disorders, synucleinopathies, but also in several other neurodegenerative disorders with a more elusive role. This review analyzes the activities of α-Syn, in different conformational states, monomeric, oligomeric and fibrils ...

p27Kip1 regulates alpha-synuclein expression

open access: yesOncotarget, 2018
Alpha-synuclein (α-SYN) is the main component of anomalous protein aggregates (Lewy bodies) that play a crucial role in several neurodegenerative diseases (synucleinopathies) like Parkinson's disease and multiple system atrophy. However, the mechanisms involved in its transcriptional regulation are poorly understood.
