My Interest in - Synuclein

Lewy Bodies: - Synuclein inclusions

Spillantini, M., et al. (1998).

What is -Synuclein?

• 140 amino acid protein

• Associated with 1. Synaptic membranes

2. Secretory pathway

Major Questions in Field

Is -synuclein even toxic?

If so, what is causative agent?

Are Lewy bodies involved in onset?

-synuclein accumulation causing PD?

Essential to examine -synuclein degradation routes

Alpha-synuclein

Degradation Pathways

Degrades proteins from cytoplasm or

nucleus

Degrades proteins from plasma membrane or outside cell

Why Endocytosis?

Page 18: Memory loss Muscle weakness Loss of voluntary movement Dementia Hallucinations Seizures Jerky body movements Tremors Rigidity Confusion Depression Language

ESCRT Machinery

Endosomal Sorting Complexes Required for Transport

Katzmann, D. J., et al. (2002). Katzmann, D. J., et al. (2001).Katzmann, D. J., et al. (2003).Ayala, A. (2009).

synthesis of one

Gap in Knowledge

The MVB/endosome pathway is a route through which -synuclein is targeted to the lysosome

Is alpha-synuclein being degraded through the MVB/endosome pathway?

Hypothesis

Page 21: Memory loss Muscle weakness Loss of voluntary movement Dementia Hallucinations Seizures Jerky body movements Tremors Rigidity Confusion Depression Language

Why Budding Yeast?

• Easy to grow• Cost effective• Genome sequence

available• ESCRT genes conserved

in humans

• MVB/endosome pathway

best studied in yeast

Specific Aims

Assess -synuclein…1. Accumulation

2. Localization

3. Toxicity

Rationales

• Accumulation– Western Blot Ayala, A. (2009) & Sharma, N., et al (2006).

– Loss of Induction

• Localization– GFP Microscopy Outeiro, T.F., et al. (2003), Nobel Prize 2008

• Toxicity– Growth Curves Ayala, A. (2009) & Sharma, N., et al (2006).

– Spotting

Why Important to Study?

• Hardships, inconvenience, and cost:– NEED to understand mechanism that will lead to cure!

• We are training well-prepared undergraduates for diverse biological careers in research, medicine and allied health.
