Methyl-branched lipids promote the membrane adsorption of α-synuclein by enhancing shallow lipid-packing defects

Garten, Matthias ; Prévost, Coline ; Cadart, Clotilde ; Gautier, Romain ; Bousset, Luc ; Melki, Ronald ; Bassereau, Patricia ; Vanni, Stefano

Alpha-synuclein (AS) is a synaptic protein that is directly involved in Parkinson's disease due to its tendency to form protein aggregates. Since AS aggregation can be dependent on the interactions between the protein and the cell plasma membrane, elucidating the membrane binding properties of AS is of crucial importance to establish the molecular basis of AS aggregation into toxic fibrils....

Lentiviral-mediated up-regulation of let-7d microRNA decreases alcohol intake through down-regulating the dopamine D3 receptor

Bahi, Amine ; Dreyer, Jean-Luc

In: European Neuropsychopharmacology, 2020, vol. 37, p. 70–81

Recent studies have shown that Lethal-7 (let-7) microRNA (miRNA) is involved in a wide range of psychiatric disorders such as anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, and cocaine addiction. However, the exact role of let-7d miRNA in regulating ethanol intake and preference remains to be elucidated. The aim of the present study was to clarify the role of accumbal let-7d in controlling...

Proteomics-based monitoring of pathway activity reveals that blocking diacylglycerol biosynthesis rescues from alpha-synuclein toxicity

Soste, Martin ; Charmpi, Konstantina ; Lampert, Fabienne ; Gerez, Juan Atilio ; Oostrum, Marcvan ; Malinovska, Liliana ; Boersema, Paul Jonathan ; Prymaczok, Natalia Cecilia ; Riek, Roland ; Peter, Matthias ; Vanni, Stefano ; Beyer, Andreas ; Picotti, Paola

Proteinaceous inclusions containing alpha-synuclein (α-Syn) have been implicated in neuronal toxicity in Parkinson’s disease, but the pathways that modulate toxicity remain enigmatic. Here, we used a targeted proteomic assay to simultaneously measure 269 pathway activation markers and proteins deregulated by α-Syn expression across a panel of 33 Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains that...
