Alpha-synuclein (UniProt: P37840; also known as Non-A beta component of AD amyloid, Non-A4 component of amyloid precursor (NACP)) is encoded by the SNCA (also known as NACP, PARK1) gene (Gene ID: 6622) in human. -synuclein amyloid fibrils are highly ordered protein aggregates implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Parkinson s Disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and multiple system atrophy (MSA). These fibrils are derived from the misfolding and aggregation of -synuclein, a presynaptic neuronal protein that plays critical roles in synaptic vesicle trafficking and membrane interactions. The fibrillation process disrupts cellular homeostasis, leading to neuronal toxicity and cell death. Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has revealed protofilament arrangements in lipid-bound -synuclein fibrils, highlighting their polymorphic nature. These protofilaments are stabilized by cross-β structures within the central domain, referred to as the non-amyloid-β component (NAC). The N-terminal domain contributes to membrane binding, while the acidic C-terminal tail modulates fibril formation and aggregation dynamics. Specific residues, such as those in the N-terminal region (e.g. residues 2-7), have been shown to regulate fibril formation via lipid-dependent and lipid-independent pathways. Mutations associated with familial PD, such as A53T and E46K, further influence fibril conformation and aggregation propensity, exacerbating neuronal damage. The interaction of -synuclein fibrils with cellular membranes plays a central role in their pathogenicity. Fibrils disrupt lipid bilayers, leading to vesicle leakage and mitochondrial dysfunction. Structural analyses have demonstrated how -synuclein fibrils extract lipids from vesicles, forming stable fibril-lipid complexes that contribute to cellular toxicity. Additionally, environmental factors such as pH, ionic strength, and post-translational modifications (e.g., phosphorylation at serine 129) modulate fibril formation and structural polymorphism. The accumulation of -synuclein fibrils in Lewy bodies and neurites is a hallmark of PD and DLB. (Ref.: Miraglia F, et Al, (2018). Neural Regen Res.13(7),1136-1144; Liu, K., et Al., (2024).
