Bioinformatics Analysis of α-Synuclein

چکیده
Authors of papers to the bioinformatics approach tbo analyse the nucleotide and amino acid sequence of alpha synuclein nucleotide and amino acid. including as the character of physical and hydrophobicity, seondary structure prediction domains, prediction of the conserved domains and phylogenetic analysis. The results showed the α-synuclein encode a deduced 1462amino acid, had a predicted molecular weight of 156.91 kD, and the protein which hadn't peptide, transmembrabe domain and 205 phosphorylation sites is alkaline and instability. Helix secondary structure mainly composed of αhrlix, βturn, extended strand and random crimped. Phylogenetion analysis showed that α-synuclein of human had o very high homology with mammals, and bonobos and sumatran species of orangutans in the most close relatives. These studied built a throerticla foundation for the further research on the sturcture and function of α-synuclein. Keywords-αsynuclein; Parkin Disease; Bioinformatics.

Background:Alpha-synuclein is a member of synuclein family of proteins with unidentified function localized in the cytoplasm, mitochondria of neurons, and presynaptic nerve endings. Although it is found in the Lewy bodies in synucleinopathies and in Alzheimer’s disease, the protein could also be considered as a novel marker in diagnosis of dis...

متن کاملPrion-like spreading of pathological α-synuclein in brain
α-Synuclein is the major component of filamentous inclusions that constitute the defining characteristic of neurodegenerative α-synucleinopathies. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying α-synuclein accumulation and spread are unclear. Here we show that intracerebral injections of sarkosyl-insoluble α-synuclein from brains of patients with dementia with Lewy bodies induced hyperphosphoryla...

The present study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of salivary total and oligomeric α-synuclein levels in PD. Furthermore, we sought to explore the relationship between salivary total α-synuclein and α-synuclein SNP variants levels. 201 PD patients and 67 controls were recruited, of which there also had the genetic information of two positive α-synuclein (SNCA) loci. Salivary total α-synucl...
متن کاملResistance to MPTP-Neurotoxicity in α-Synuclein Knockout Mice Is Complemented by Human α-Synuclein and Associated with Increased β-Synuclein and Akt Activation
Genetic and biochemical abnormalities of α-synuclein are associated with the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. In the present study we investigated the in vivo interaction of mouse and human α-synuclein with the potent parkinsonian neurotoxin, MPTP. We find that while lack of mouse α-synuclein in mice is associated with reduced vulnerability to MPTP, increased levels of human α-synuclein exp...
