Amyloid oligomerization of the Parkinson's disease related protein α‐synuclein impacts on its curvature‐membrane sensitivity
Abstract
The amyloid aggregation of the presynaptic protein α-synuclein (AS) is pathognomonic of Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. Physiologically, AS contributes to synaptic homeostasis by participating in vesicle maintenance, trafficking, and release. Its avidity for highly curved acidic membranes has been related to the distinct chemistry of the N-terminal amphipathic helix adopted upon binding to appropriated lipid...
