Abstract excerpt
Aggregation of the intrinsically disordered protein α-synuclein into ordered amyloid fibrils is implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. To unravel the role of Tyr residues in α-synuclein fibrillation, we prepared recombinant N-terminal (Y39A) and C-terminal (Y(125,133,136)A) mutants of α-synuclein and examined their fibrillation propensities by thioflavin T and 1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonate...
