Isomers of human alpha-synuclein stabilized by disulfide bonds exhibit distinct structural and aggregative properties.

Abstract:

:The discovery of three mutants in the -synuclein (alphaSyn) gene and the identification of alphaSyn as the major component of Lewy body have opened a new field for understanding the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). AlphaSyn is a natively unfolded protein with unknown function and unspecified conformational heterogeneity. In this study, we introduce four Ser/Ala --> Cys mutations at positions 9, 42, 69, and 89 in human wild-type alphaSyn (wt-alphaSyn) and two PD-associated alphaSyn mutants, A30P-alphaSyn and A53T-alphaSyn. This allows expression of three alphaSyn mutants, wt-alphaSyn(4C), A30P-alphaSyn(4C), and A53T-Syn(4C). Subsequent oxidative folding enables each alphaSyn(4C) mutant to form three partially stabilized two-disulfide isomers, designated as alphaSyn(2SS), that are amenable to further isolation and characterization. These alphaSyn mutants exhibit the following properties. (a) A30P-alphaSyn(4C) exhibits a lower folding flexibility than wt-alphaSyn(4C) and A53T-alphaSyn(4C). (b) All three alphaSyn(4C) mutants, like wt-alphaSyn, exhibit a predominant structure of random coil. However, wt-alphaSyn(2SS) adopts an alpha-helical conformation, whereas A30P-alphaSyn(2SS) and A53T-alphaSyn(2SS) take on significant beta-sheet structure. (c) A30P-alphaSyn(2SS) shows a stronger tendency to aggregate than A53T-alphaSyn(2SS) and wt-alphaSyn(2SS). (d) Three isolated isomers of wt-alphaSyn(2SS) exhibit a propensity for forming oligomers different yet enhanced versus that for wt-alphaSyn. These data together substantiate the notion that under physiological conditions, human alphaSyn exists as diverse conformational isomers which exhibit distinct propensities for aggregation and fibril formation.
