Studies on the composition of Lewy bodies extracted postmortem from brain tissue of Parkinson’s patients revealed that lipids and membranous organelles are also a significant component. Interactions between α-synuclein and lipids have been previously identified as relevant for Parkinson’s disease pathology, however molecular insights into their interactions have remained elusive. Here we present cryo-electron microscopy structures of six α-synuclein fibrils in complex with lipids, revealing specific lipid-fibril interactions. We observe that phospholipids promote an alternative protofilament fold, mediate an unusual arrangement of protofilaments, and fill the central cavities of the fibrils. Together with our previous studies, these structures also indicate a mechanism for fibril-induced lipid extraction, which is likely to be involved in the development of α-synucleinopathies. Specifically, one potential mechanism for the cellular toxicity is the disruption of intracellular vesicles mediated by fibrils and oligomers, and therefore the modulation of these interactions may provide a promising strategy for future therapeutic interventions."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1038/s41467-022-34552-7"],["dc.identifier.pii","34552"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/117993"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-621"],["dc.relation.eissn","2041-1723"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.title","The 3D structure of lipidic fibrils of α-synuclein"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Its extension to time dimension in the form of time-resolved SAXS investigations and combination with other time-resolved biophysical methods contributes immensely to the study of protein dynamics. TR-SAXS can also provide unique information about the global structures of transient intermediates during protein dynamics. An experimental set-up with low protein consumption is essential for an extensive use of TR-SAXS experiments on protein dynamics. In this direction, a newly developed 20-microchannel microfluidic continuous-flow mixer was combined with SAXS. With this set-up, we demonstrate ubiquitin unfolding dynamics after rapid mixing with the chaotropic agent Guanidinium-HCl within milliseconds using only similar to 40 nanoliters of the protein sample per scattering image. It is suggested that, in the future, this new TR-SAXS platform will help to increase the use of time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering, wide-angle X-ray scattering and neutron scattering experiments for studying protein dynamics in the early millisecond regime.

Because no evidence could be obtained that genetic factors are the reason for the association between these two diseases, we hypothesized that of the three major Parkinson’s disease-related proteins—α-synuclein, LRRK2, and Parkin—α-synuclein might be a major link. Our data, presented here, demonstrate that α-synuclein promotes the survival of primary and metastatic melanoma cells, which is the exact opposite of the effect that α-synuclein has on dopaminergic neurons, where its accumulation causes neuronal dysfunction and death. Because this detrimental effect of α-synuclein on neurons can be rescued by the small molecule anle138b, we explored its effect on melanoma cells. We found that treatment with anle138b leads to massive melanoma cell death due to a major dysregulation of autophagy, suggesting that α-synuclein is highly beneficial to advanced melanoma because it ensures that autophagy is maintained at a homeostatic level that promotes and ensures the cell’s survival."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1073/pnas.1700200114"],["dc.identifier.gro","3142238"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/13362"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","lifescience updates Crossref Import"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.issn","0027-8424"],["dc.title","Treatment with diphenyl–pyrazole compound anle138b/c reveals that α-synuclein protects melanoma cells from autophagic cell death"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Generally, small degrees of alignment are also caused by an anisotropic magnetic susceptibility of the molecule, for example, induced by aromatic moieties. For this mechanism, the alignment can be predicted via density functional theory. Here we show that both residual dipolar couplings and residual chemical shift anisotropies can be acquired from natural products without special sample preparation using magnetically induced alignment.

Since Ca2+ is a universal carrier of signals, the control of its homeostasis is of central importance for the organism. It involves exchanges between the skeleton (which is the major calcium reservoir) and the extracellular and intracellular fluids.

Our results indicate that methyl groups vary from rigid to very mobile with good correlation to residue type, distance to backbone and solvent exposure, and that considerable additional dynamics are effective at rates slower than the correlation time tau (c). In fact, the average amplitude of motion expressed in terms of order parameters S (2) associated with the supra-tau (c) window brings evidence to the existence of fluctuations contributing as much additional mobility as those already present in the faster ps-ns time scale measured from relaxation data. Comparison to previous results on ubiquitin demonstrates that the RDC-derived order parameters are dominated both by rotameric interconversions and faster libration-type motions around equilibrium positions. They match best with those derived from a combined J-coupling and residual dipolar coupling approach (Chou in J Am Chem Soc 125:8959-8966, 2003) taking backbone motion into account. In order to appreciate the dynamic scale of side chains over the entire protein, the methyl group order parameters are compared to existing dynamic ensembles of ubiquitin. Of those recently published, the broadest one, namely the EROS ensemble (Lange in Science 320:1471-1475, 2008), fits the collection of methyl group order parameters presented here best.
