Centro de Estudios Interdisciplinarios, Universidad Nacional de Rosario, Rosario, Argentina. \u03b1-synuclein (\u03b1Syn) is an intrinsically disordered protein that can interact with physiological metal ions, a process which contributes to the pathological mechanism underlying Parkinson\u2019s disease (PD). Exogenous metals have also been linked to PD through their action on protein aggregation and oxidative stress. Aluminum(III), in particular, constitutes a known neurotoxic agent. In addition to increase the production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, exposure to Al3+ also causes iron dyshomeostasis through amplified Fe3+\/Fe2+ redox activity. In this context, the development of new drugs to preclude the accumulation of such metal ions is crucial to slowing down the progression of PD. In this work, we evaluated the interactions of \u03b1Syn and the ligand 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-benzaldehyde 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl hydrazone (MTMP) with Al3+. Both binary and the ternary system were considered. The nature and affinity features of \u03b1Syn-metal complexation were described at a residue specific level of resolution, combined with studies focused on the metal sequestering potential of MTMP. Aggregation kinetics experiments correlated well with the \u03b1Syn-Al3+ interaction profile. Cell-based assays are currently underway to validate our findings in a cellular context and extend our studies to other experimental models of aluminum-related parkinsonism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Author: Martins da Silva Dayanne | email: dmartins@cei-mplbior.unr.edu.ar | Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[18],"class_list":["post-1243","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-session-1","tag-cellular-and-molecular-neurobiology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1243","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1243"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1243\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1712,"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1243\/revisions\/1712"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1243"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1243"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
