Abstract：
:Alpha-synuclein plays a key role in the pathogenesis of many neurodegenerative diseases. To date, its cellular role has yet to be determined, although it has been proposed to be connected to calcium and G protein-mediated dopamine signaling. Alpha-synuclein is known to bind strongly to model membrane surfaces where it may interact with other membrane-associated proteins. Here, we find that the membrane association of alpha-synuclein is enhanced by the presence of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P(2)] and Ca(2+). We also find that alpha-synuclein interacts with high affinity with the G protein-regulated enzyme phospholipase Cbeta(2) (PLCbeta(2)), which catalyzes the hydrolysis of PI(4,5)P(2). Binding of alpha-synuclein to PLCbeta(2) reduces its catalytic activity by 50%, but causes its level of activation by Gbetagamma subunits to increase from 4- to 24-fold. This effect is greatly reduced for A53T alpha-synuclein, which is a mutant associated with familial Parkinson's disease. PI(4,5)P(2) hydrolysis by PLCbeta(2) results in an increase in the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration, and we find that in cultured cells the presence of alpha-synuclein results in a 6-fold enhancement in the release of Ca(2+) from intracellular stores in response to agents that release Gbetagamma subunits relative to controls. Alpha-synuclein also enhances the increase in the level of inositol phosphates seen upon G protein stimulation, suggesting that it also may interact with PLCbeta(2) in cells. Given that Ca(2+) and dopamine regulation are mediated through PLCbeta and G protein signals, our results suggest that alpha-synuclein may play a role in inositol phospholipid signaling.
