摘要: The aggregation of proteins into oligomers and amyloid fibrils is characteristic several neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson disease (PD). In PD, the process α-synuclein (α-syn) from monomers, via oligomeric intermediates, considered disease-causative toxic mechanism. We developed α-syn mutants that promote oligomer or fibril formation tested toxicity these by using a rat lentivirus system to investigate loss dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra. most severe nigra observed animals with variants form (i.e., E57K E35K), whereas very quickly are less toxic. show vivo might interact potentially disrupt membranes.
