Structural and functional insights into the nuclear role of Parkinson’s disease-associated α-synuclein as a histone chaperone

Abstract excerpt

α-Synuclein (αSyn) plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of ‘Synucleinopathies’. Although increased nuclear αSyn localization induces neurotoxicity, its definitive physiological role remains elusive. Previous studies on nuclear αSyn are limited to its interactions with individual histones and dsDNA, leaving a significant gap in understanding its interactions with assembled histone H2a-H2b dimer and (H3-H4)2...
