The novel Parkinson's disease linked mutation G51D attenuates in vitro aggregation and membrane binding of alpha-synuclein, and enhances its secretion and nuclear localization in cells

Hilal Lashuel, Nadine Aït Bouziad, Martial Mbefo Kamdem, Mohamed Bilal Fares, Ana Jovicic

A novel mutation in the alpha-Synuclein (alpha-Syn) gene "G51D" was recently identified in two familial cases exhibiting features of Parkinson's disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA). In this study, we explored the impact of this novel mutation on ...

MicroRNA-22 (miR-22) Overexpression Is Neuroprotective via General Anti-Apoptotic Effects and May also Target Specific Huntington's Disease-Related Mechanisms

Ana Jovicic

Background: Whereas many causes and mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases have been identified, very few therapeutic strategies have emerged in parallel. One possible explanation is that successful treatment strategy may require simultaneous targeting o ...

Unique Cell-Type-Specific Distributions and Functions of Brain MicroRNAs

Ana Jovicic

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. The first miRNA was discovered less than 20 years ago in the context of studying Caenorabditis elegans development. The discovery of the second miR ...

Semisynthetic and in Vitro Phosphorylation of Alpha-Synuclein at Y39 Promotes Functional Partly Helical Membrane-Bound States Resembling Those Induced by PD Mutations

Hilal Lashuel, Bruno Claude Daniel Fauvet, Anne-Laure Mahul Mellier, Ana Jovicic, Carole Desobry

Alpha-synuclein is a presynaptic protein of poorly understood function that is linked to both genetic and sporadic forms of Parkinson's disease. We have proposed that alpha-synuclein may function specifically at synaptic vesicles docked at the plasma membr ...
