Differential role of C-terminal truncations on alpha-synuclein pathology and Lewy body formation

Graham Knott, Romain Hamelin, Anne-Laure Mahul Mellier, Nadine Aït Bouziad, Jonathan Jean-Pierre Ricci, Yllza Jasiqi, Mary-Claude Croisier-Coeytaux, Anass Chiki, Melek Firat Altay, Somanath Jagannath

Alpha-synuclein (aSyn) post-translational modifications (PTM), especially phosphorylation at serine 129 and C-terminal truncations, are highly enriched in Lewy bodies (LB), Lewy neurites, and other pathological aggregates in Parkinson's disease and synucle ...

Effective Inhibition of TDP-43 Aggregation by Native State Stabilization

Hilal Lashuel, Yllza Jasiqi, Lixin Yang

Preventing the misfolding or aggregation of transactive response DNA binding protein with 43 kDa (TDP-43) is the most actively pursued disease-modifying strategy to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and other neurodegenerative diseases. In this work, we ...

O-GlcNAc forces an α-synuclein amyloid strain with notably diminished seeding and pathology

Hilal Lashuel, Yllza Jasiqi

Amyloid-forming proteins such alpha-synuclein and tau, which are implicated in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, can form different fibril structures or strains with distinct toxic properties, seeding activities and pathology. Understanding the determin ...

Recombinant Full-Length TDP-43 Oligomers Retain Their Ability to Bind RNAs, Are Not Toxic, and Do Not Seed TDP-43 Aggregation in Vitro

Hilal Lashuel, Yllza Jasiqi, Lixin Yang

TAR DNA-binding protein with 43 kD (TDP-43) is a partially disordered protein that misfolds and accumulates in the brains of patients affected by several neurodegenerative diseases. TDP-43 oligomers have been reported to form due to aberrant misfolding or ...

Revisiting the specificity and ability of phospho-S129 antibodies to capture alpha-synuclein biochemical and pathological diversity

Hilal Lashuel, Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex, Christian Iseli, Anne-Laure Mahul Mellier, Jonathan Jean-Pierre Ricci, Yllza Jasiqi, Anass Chiki, Sean Michael Deguire, Ritwik Burai, Melek Firat Altay

Antibodies against phosphorylated alpha-synuclein (aSyn) at 5129 have emerged as the primary tools to investigate, monitor, and quantify aSyn pathology in the brain and peripheral tissues of patients with Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative dis ...
