The novel Parkinson's disease linked mutation G51D attenuates in vitro aggregation and membrane binding of alpha-synuclein, and enhances its secretion and nuclear localization in cells

Hilal Lashuel, Nadine Aït Bouziad, Mohamed Bilal Fares, Martial Mbefo Kamdem, Ana Jovicic

A novel mutation in the alpha-Synuclein (alpha-Syn) gene "G51D" was recently identified in two familial cases exhibiting features of Parkinson's disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA). In this study, we explored the impact of this novel mutation on ...

The H50Q Mutation Enhances alpha-Synuclein Aggregation, Secretion, and Toxicity

Giovanni Dietler, Hilal Lashuel, Francesco Simone Ruggeri, Anne-Laure Mahul Mellier, Bruno Claude Daniel Fauvet, Abid Oueslati, Martial Mbefo Kamdem, Ossama Mohamed Salah El-Dien El-Sayed Ibrahim Khalaf, Filip Vercruysse

Over the last two decades, the identification of missense mutations in the alpha-synuclein (alpha-Syn) gene SNCA in families with inherited Parkinson disease (PD) has reinforced the central role of alpha-Syn in PD pathogenesis. Recently, a new missense mut ...

Phosphorylation of synucleins by members of the Polo-like kinase family

Hilal Lashuel, Harald Hirling, Abid Oueslati, Martial Mbefo Kamdem, Magdalena Zweckstetter

Phosphorylation of alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn) at Ser-129 is a hallmark of Parkinson disease and related synucleinopathies. However, the identity of the natural kinases and phosphatases responsible for regulating alpha-syn phosphorylation remain unknown. H ...
