While alpha-synuclein is disordered in solution, it folds into a helical conformation when bound to synaptic vesicles. Stabilization of helical, folded alpha-synuclein might therefore interfere with alpha-synuclein-induced neurotoxicity. Here we show that several small molecules, which delay aggregation of alpha-synuclein in solution, including the Parkinson's disease drug selegiline, fail to interfere with misfolding of vesicle-bound alpha-synuclein. In contrast, the porphyrin phtalocyanine tetrasulfonate directly binds to vesicle-bound alpha-synuclein, stabilizes its helical conformation and thereby delays pathogenic misfolding and aggregation. Our study suggests that small-molecule-mediated stabilization of helical vesicle-bound alpha-synuclein opens new possibilities to target Parkinson's disease and related synucleinopathies."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1038/ncomms6857"],["dc.identifier.isi","000347683000001"],["dc.identifier.pmid","25524885"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/31609"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Nature Publishing Group"],["dc.relation.issn","2041-1723"],["dc.title","Small molecule-mediated stabilization of vesicle-associated helical alpha-synuclein inhibits pathogenic misfolding and aggregation"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Through an experimental and computational analysis of the ground state dynamics in ubiquitin, we identify a collective global motion that is specifically linked to a conformational switch distant from the binding interface. This allosteric coupling is also present in crystal structures and is found to facilitate multispecificity, particularly binding to the ubiquitin-specific protease (USP) family of deubiquitinases. The collective motion that enables this allosteric communication does not affect binding through localized changes but, instead, depends on expansion and contraction of the entire protein domain. The characterization of these collective motions represents a promising avenue for finding and manipulating allosteric networks."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1073/pnas.1519609113"],["dc.identifier.gro","3141707"],["dc.identifier.isi","000372488200052"],["dc.identifier.pmid","26961002"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/180"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","WoS Import 2017-03-10"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.relation.issn","0027-8424"],["dc.title","Allosteric switch regulates protein-protein binding through collective motion"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
