- Abstract:
-
alpha-Synuclein is a pre-synaptic protein, the function of which is not completely understood, but its pathological form is involved in neurodegenerative diseases. In vitro, alpha-synuclein spontaneously forms amyloid fibrils. Here, we report that alphaB-crystallin, a molecular chaperone found in Lewy bodies that are characteristic of Parkinson's disease (PD), is a potent in vitro inhibitor of alpha-synuclein fibrillization, both of wild-type and the two mutant forms (A30P and A53T) that caus...
