In this study, we characterized for the first time the biophysical properties of A53V, including the aggregation propensities, toxicity of aggregated species, and membrane binding capability, along with those of all familial mutations at the A53 position.
Our data suggest that the A53V mutation accelerates fibrillation of α-Syn without affecting the overall morphology or cytotoxicity of fibrils compared to those of the wild-type (WT) protein.
Hence, alpha-synuclein p.A53V homozygous mutation leads to a distinct phenotype of progressive parkinsonism and cognitive decline, commonly observed in patients with SNCA missense mutation or multiplications.
