Here, characterization of the structural and mechanistic basis for the antiamyloidogenic effect of phthalocyanine tetrasulfonate (PcTS) on alpha-synuclein (AS) allowed us to demonstrate that specific aromatic interactions are central for ligand-mediated inhibition of amyloid formation. We provide evidence indicating that the mechanism behind the antiamyloidogenic effect of PcTS is correlated with the trapping of prefibrillar AS species during the early stages of the assembly process. By using NMR spectroscopy, we have located the primary binding region for PcTS to a specific site in the N terminus of AS, involving the amino acid Tyr-39 as the anchoring residue. Moreover, the residue-specific structural characterization of the AS-PcTS complex provided the basis for the rational design of nonamyloidogenic species of AS, highlighting the role of aromatic interactions in driving AS amyloid assembly. A comparative analysis with other proteins involved in neurodegenerative disorders reveals that aromatic recognition interfaces might constitute a key structural element to target their aggregation pathways. These findings emphasize the use of aggregation inhibitors as molecular probes to assess structural and toxic mechanisms related to amyloid formation and the potential of small molecules as therapeutics for amyloid-related pathologies."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1073/pnas.0902603106"],["dc.identifier.gro","3143010"],["dc.identifier.isi","000272795300011"],["dc.identifier.pmid","19948969"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/477"],["dc.notes.intern","WoS Import 2017-03-10"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.publisher","Natl Acad Sciences"],["dc.relation.issn","0027-8424"],["dc.title","Structural and mechanistic basis behind the inhibitory interaction of PcTS on alpha-synuclein amyloid fibril formation"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI PMID PMC WOS2007Journal Article Research Paper [["dc.bibliographiccitation.firstpage","5235"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.issue","16"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","Journal of the American Chemical Society"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.lastpage","5243"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","129"],["dc.contributor.author","Mukrasch, Marco D."],["dc.contributor.author","Markwick, Phineus"],["dc.contributor.author","Biernat, Jacek"],["dc.contributor.author","von Bergen, Martin"],["dc.contributor.author","Bernado, Pau"],["dc.contributor.author","Griesinger, Christian"],["dc.contributor.author","Mandelkow, Eckhard"],["dc.contributor.author","Zweckstetter, Markus"],["dc.contributor.author","Blackledge, Martin"],["dc.date.accessioned","2017-09-07T11:49:48Z"],["dc.date.available","2017-09-07T11:49:48Z"],["dc.date.issued","2007"],["dc.description.abstract","Tau, a natively unstructured protein that regulates the organization of neuronal microtubules, is also found in high concentrations in neurofibrillary tangles of Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. The conformational transition between these vastly different healthy and pathological forms remains poorly understood. We have measured residual dipolar couplings (RDCs), J-couplings, and nuclear Overhauser enhancement (NOE) in construct K18 of tau, containing all four repeat domains R1-R4. NHN RDCs were compared with prediction on the basis of a statistical model describing the intrinsic conformational sampling of unfolded proteins in solution. While local variation and relative amplitude of RDCs agrees with propensity-based prediction for most of the protein, homologous sequences in each repeat domain (DLKN, DLSN, DLSK, and DKFD in repeats R1-R4) show strong disagreement characterized by inversion of the sign of the central couplings. Accelerated molecular dynamic simulations (AMD) in explicit solvent revealed strong tendencies to form turns, identified as type I beta-turns for repeats R1-R3. Incorporation of the backbone dihedral sampling resulting from AMD into the statistical coil model closely reproduces experimental RDC values. These localized sequence-dependent conformational tendencies interrupt the propensity to sample more extended conformations in adjacent strands and are remarkably resistant to local environmental factors, as demonstrated by the persistence of the RDC signature even under harsh denaturing conditions (8 M urea).

The appearance of such aggregates coincides with severe motor deficits in human patients. These deficits are often preceded by non-motor symptoms such as sleep-related problems in the patients. PD-like motor deficits can be recapitulated in model organisms such as Drosophila melanogaster when alpha S is pan-neurally expressed. Interestingly, both these deficits are more severe when alpha S mutants with reduced aggregation properties are expressed in flies. This indicates that that alpha S aggregation is not the primary cause of the PD-like motor symptoms. Here we describe a model for PD in Drosophila which utilizes the targeted expression of alpha S mutants in a subset of dopadecarboxylase expressing serotonergic and dopaminergic (DA) neurons. Our results show that targeted expression of pre-fibrillar alpha S mutants not only recapitulates PD-like motor symptoms but also the preceding non-motor symptoms such as an abnormal sleep-like behavior, altered locomotor activity and abnormal circadian periodicity.

Low order stacked aggregates of phthalocyanines were identified as the active amyloid inhibitory species, whose effects are mediated by residue specific interactions.
