    Abstract The aggregation of the disordered neuronal protein, α-Synuclein (αS), is the primary pathological feature of Parkinson's disease. Current hypotheses favor cell-to-cell spread of αS species as underlying disease progression, driving interest in identifying the molecular species and cellular processes involved in cellular internalization of αS. Prior work from our lab identified the chemically specific interaction between αS and the presynaptic adhesion protein neurexin-1β (N1β) to be capable of driving cellular internalization of both monomer and aggregated forms of αS. Here we explore the physical basis of N1β-driven internalization of αS. Specifically, we show that spontaneous internalization of αS by SH-SY5Y and HEK293 cells expressing N1β requires essentially all of the membrane-binding domain of αS; αS constructs truncated beyond residue 90 bind to N1β in the plasma membrane of HEK cells, but are not internalized. Interestingly, before internalization, αS and N1β codiffuse rapidly in the plasma membrane. αS constructs that are not internalized show very slow mobility themselves, as well as slow N1β diffusion. Finally, we find that truncated αS is capable of blocking internalization of full-length αS. Our results draw attention to the potential therapeutic value of blocking αS-N1β interactions.

    Abstract The small neuronal protein α-synuclein (αS) is found in pre-synaptic terminals and plays a role in vesicle recycling and neurotransmission. Fibrillar aggregates of αS are the hallmark of Parkinson's disease and related neurodegenerative disorders. In both health and disease, interactions with lipids influence αS's structure and function, prompting much study of the effects of lipids on αS aggregation. A comprehensive collection (126 examples) of aggregation rate data for various αS/lipid combinations was presented, including combinations of lipid variations and mutations or post-translational modifications of αS. These data were interpreted in terms of lipid structure to identify general trends. These tabulated data serve as a resource for the community to help in the interpretation of aggregation experiments with lipids and to be potentially used as inputs for computational models of lipid effects on aggregation.

    Abstract Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are now widely recognized as playing critical roles in a broad range of cellular functions as well as being implicated in diverse diseases. Their lack of stable secondary structure and tertiary interactions, coupled with their sensitivity to measurement conditions, stymies many traditional structural biology approaches. Single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer (smFRET) is now widely used to characterize the physicochemical properties of these proteins in isolation and is being increasingly applied to more complex assemblies and experimental environments. This review provides an overview of confocal diffusion-based smFRET as an experimental tool, including descriptions of instrumentation, data analysis, and protein labeling. Recent papers are discussed that illustrate the unique capability of smFRET to provide insight into aggregation-prone IDPs, protein-protein interactions involving IDPs, and IDPs in complex experimental milieus.

    Abstract Tau is an intrinsically disordered protein implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. Here we describe the application of single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer (smFRET) for the characterization of the interactions between tau and polyphosphate, an intracellular polymer that accelerates tau aggregation. We describe the design of tau constructs, purification and fluorescent labeling of tau, and details of acquisition and analysis of smFRET data. The protocols provided here outline an approach that may be applied to the study of other intrinsically disordered proteins and their binding partners.

    Abstract The Parkinson’s disease associated protein α-synuclein (αS) has been found to contain numerous post-translational modifications (PTMs), in both physiological and pathological states. One PTM site of particular interest is serine 87, which is subject to both O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (gS) modification and phosphorylation (pS), with αS-pS₈₇ enriched in Parkinson’s disease. An often-overlooked aspect of these PTMs is their effect on the membrane-binding properties of αS, which are important to its role in regulating neurotransmitter release. Here, we show how one can study these effects by synthesizing αS constructs containing authentic PTMs and labels for single molecule fluorescence correlation spectroscopy measurements. We synthesize αS-gS₈₇ and αS-pS₈₇ by combining native chemical ligation with genetic code expansion approaches. We introduce the fluorophore by a click reaction with a non-canonical amino acid. Beyond the specific problem of PTM effects on αS, our studies highlight the value of this combination of methods for multiply modifying proteins.

    Abstract Regulation of the neuronal microtubule cytoskeleton is achieved through the coordination of microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs). MAP-Tau, the most abundant MAP in the axon, functions to modulate motor motility, participate in signaling cascades, as well as directly mediate microtubule dynamics. Tau misregulation is associated with a class of neurodegenerative diseases, known as tauopathies, including progressive supranuclear palsy, Pick's disease, and Alzheimer's disease. Many disease-associated mutations in Tau are found in the C-terminal microtubule-binding domain. These mutations decrease microtubule-binding affinity and are proposed to reduce microtubule stability, leading to disease. N-terminal disease-associated mutations also exist, but the mechanistic details of their downstream effects are not as clear. Here, we investigate the effect of the progressive supranuclear palsy-associated N-terminal R5L mutation on Tau-mediated microtubule dynamics using an in vitro reconstituted system. We show that the R5L mutation does not alter Tau interactions with tubulin by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. Using total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy, we determined that the R5L mutation has no effect on microtubule growth rate, catastrophe frequency, or rescue frequency. Rather, the R5L mutation increases microtubule shrinkage rate. We determine this is due to disruption of Tau patches, larger order Tau complexes known to form on the GDP-microtubule lattice. Altogether, these results provide insight into the role of Tau patches in mediating microtubule dynamics and suggesting a novel mechanism by which mutations in the N-terminal projection domain reduce microtubule stability.

    Abstract Arginylation is an understudied post-translational modification (PTM) involving the transfer of arginine to aspartate or glutamate sidechains in a protein. Among the targets of this PTM is α-synuclein (αS), a neuronal protein involved in regulating synaptic vesicles. The aggregation of αS is implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, particularly in Parkinson’s disease, and arginylation has been found to protect against this pathological process. Arginylated αS has been studied through semisynthesis involving multipart native chemical ligation (NCL), but this can be very labor-intensive with low yields. Here, we present a facile way to introduce a mimic of the arginylation modification into a protein of interest, compatible with orthogonal installation of labels such as fluorophores. We synthesize bromoacetyl arginine and react it with recombinant, site-specific cysteine mutants of αS. We validate the mimic by testing the vesicle binding affinity of mimic-arginylated αS, as well as its aggregation kinetics and monomer incorporation into fibrils, and comparing these results to those of authentically arginylated αS produced through NCL. In cultured neurons, we compare the fibril seeding capabilities of preformed fibrils carrying a small percentage of arginylated αS. We find that, consistent with authentically arginylated αS, mimic-arginylated αS does not perturb the protein’s native function but alters aggregation kinetics and monomer incorporation. Both mimic and authentically modified αS suppress aggregation in neuronal cells. Our results provide further insight into the neuroprotective effects of αS arginylation, and our alternative strategy to generate arginylated αS enables the study of this PTM in proteins not accessible through NCL.
