Characterization of the molecular interaction between α-synuclein and prion protein / vorgelegt von Renato Garcia Domingues

The interaction between α-synuclein (aSyn) and prion protein (PrP) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of synucleinopathies. However, the nature of this interaction remains poorly understood. Here, we employed a combination of biophysical and cellular assays to characterize the interaction between aSyn and PrP. Our results demonstrate that the C-terminal region of aSyn interacts with PrP in an orientation-specific manner through electrostatic interactions, and suggest that tryptophan residues on PrP may also bind to the tyrosine residues of aSyn through aromatic interactions. We further....
