摘要
alpha-Synuclein comprises the fibrillar core of Lewy bodies, which is one of the histologically defining lesions of Parkinson's disease. Previously, we screened for alpha-synuclein substitution mutants that do not form fibrils. For preventative or therapeutic uses, it is essential to suppress the oligomerization/fibrillation of the wild-type and PD-linked alpha-synuclein proteins. Here we have examined the effects of fibrillation-retarded alpha-synuclein mutants on fibril formation by wild-type and PD-linked alpha-synuclein molecules. Six self-aggregation-defective alpha-synuclein mutants completely inhibit the fibrillation of both wild-type and Parkinson's disease-linked of alpha-synuclein variants. These results suggest future applications for gene therapy: the transplantation of a fibrillation-blocking mutant alpha-synuclein gene into individuals who carry an early-onset PD-associated alpha-synuclein allele. Short synthetic peptides derived from these mutant sequences may also serve as a lead compound for the development of therapeutics for Parkinson's disease. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
