Journal ArticleDOI

Dependence of α-synuclein aggregate morphology on solution conditions

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the morphology of a-synuclein aggregates is highly sensitive to solution conditions, implying that the fibrillar state does not necessarily represent the predominant or most functionally significant aggregated state under physiological conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural characterization of copper(II) binding to α-synuclein: Insights into the bioinorganic chemistry of Parkinson's disease

TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that Cu(II) ions are effective in accelerating AS aggregation at physiologically relevant concentrations without altering the resultant fibrillar structures.
Journal ArticleDOI

LPS receptor (CD14): a receptor for phagocytosis of Alzheimer’s amyloid peptide

TL;DR: A direct role of CD14 in Abeta(42) phagocytosis is demonstrated, and a pronounced CD14 immunoreactivity on parenchymal microglia spatially correlated to characteristic Alzheimer's disease lesion sites in brain sections of Alzheimer’s disease patients but not inbrain sections of control subjects are detected.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of the Acidic C-Terminal Region Comprising Amino Acids 109−140 on α-Synuclein Aggregation in Vitro†

TL;DR: The effects of the C-terminus on aggregation cannot be rationalized merely by a contribution to the protein net charge, but rather suggest a specific role of aa109-140 in the regulation of aggregation, presumably involving formation of intramolecular contacts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cellular Polyamines Promote the Aggregation of α-Synuclein

TL;DR: It is concluded that the polyamines at physiological concentrations can modulate the propensity of α-synuclein to form fibrils and may hence play a role in the formation of cytosolic α- synuclein aggregates.
