    Description: Aggregated alpha-synuclein proteins form brain lesions that are hallmarks of neurodegenerative synucleinopathies, and oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of some of these disorders. Using antibodies to specific nitrated tyrosine residues in alpha-synuclein, we demonstrate extensive and widespread accumulations of nitrated alpha-synuclein in the signature inclusions of Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, the Lewy body variant of Alzheimer's disease, and multiple system atrophy brains. We also show that nitrated alpha-synuclein is present in the major filamentous building blocks of these inclusions, as well as in the insoluble fractions of affected brain regions of synucleinopathies. The selective and specific nitration of alpha-synuclein in these disorders provides evidence to directly link oxidative and nitrative damage to the onset and progression of neurodegenerative synucleinopathies.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Giasson, B I -- Duda, J E -- Murray, I V -- Chen, Q -- Souza, J M -- Hurtig, H I -- Ischiropoulos, H -- Trojanowski, J Q -- Lee, V M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Nov 3;290(5493):985-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Center for Neurodegenerative Disease Research and Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11062131" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Parkinson's disease is a movement disorder characterized by degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. Dopaminergic neuronal loss also occurs in Drosophila melanogaster upon directed expression of alpha-synuclein, a protein implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease and a major component of proteinaceous Lewy bodies. We report that directed expression of the molecular chaperone Hsp70 prevented dopaminergic neuronal loss associated with alpha-synuclein in Drosophila and that interference with endogenous chaperone activity accelerated alpha-synuclein toxicity. Furthermore, Lewy bodies in human postmortem tissue immunostained for molecular chaperones, also suggesting that chaperones may play a role in Parkinson's disease progression.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Auluck, Pavan K -- Chan, H Y Edwin -- Trojanowski, John Q -- Lee, Virginia M Y -- Bonini, Nancy M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2002 Feb 1;295(5556):865-8.

    Description: The causes of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a devastating human neurodegenerative disease, are poorly understood, although the protein TDP-43 has been suggested to have a critical role in disease pathogenesis. Here we show that ataxin 2 (ATXN2), a polyglutamine (polyQ) protein mutated in spinocerebellar ataxia type 2, is a potent modifier of TDP-43 toxicity in animal and cellular models. ATXN2 and TDP-43 associate in a complex that depends on RNA. In spinal cord neurons of ALS patients, ATXN2 is abnormally localized; likewise, TDP-43 shows mislocalization in spinocerebellar ataxia type 2. To assess the involvement of ATXN2 in ALS, we analysed the length of the polyQ repeat in the ATXN2 gene in 915 ALS patients. We found that intermediate-length polyQ expansions (27-33 glutamines) in ATXN2 were significantly associated with ALS. These data establish ATXN2 as a relatively common ALS susceptibility gene. Furthermore, these findings indicate that the TDP-43-ATXN2 interaction may be a promising target for therapeutic intervention in ALS and other TDP-43 proteinopathies.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2965417/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2965417/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Elden, Andrew C -- Kim, Hyung-Jun -- Hart, Michael P -- Chen-Plotkin, Alice S -- Johnson, Brian S -- Fang, Xiaodong -- Armakola, Maria -- Geser, Felix -- Greene, Robert -- Lu, Min Min -- Padmanabhan, Arun -- Clay-Falcone, Dana -- McCluskey, Leo -- Elman, Lauren -- Juhr, Denise -- Gruber, Peter J -- Rub, Udo -- Auburger, Georg -- Trojanowski, John Q -- Lee, Virginia M-Y -- Van Deerlin, Vivianna M -- Bonini, Nancy M -- Gitler, Aaron D -- 1DP2OD004417-01/OD/NIH HHS/ -- 1R01NS065317-01/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- AG-10124/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- AG-17586/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- DP2 OD004417/OD/NIH HHS/ -- DP2 OD004417-01/OD/NIH HHS/ -- K08 AG-033101-01/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- P01 AG-09215/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS065317/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS065317-01/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS065317-02/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS065317-03/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Aug 26;466(7310):1069-75. doi: 10.1038/nature09320.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cell and Developmental Biology, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20740007" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Putative Alzheimer disease (AD)-specific proteins (A68) were purified to homogeneity and shown to be major subunits of one form of paired helical filaments (PHFs). The amino acid sequence and immunological data indicate that the backbone of A68 is indistinguishable from that of the protein tau (tau), but A68 could be distinguished from normal human tau by the degree to which A68 was phosphorylated and by the specific residues in A68 that served as phosphate acceptors. The larger apparent relative molecular mass (Mr) of A68, compared to normal human tau, was attributed to abnormal phosphorylation of A68 because enzymatic dephosphorylation of A68 reduced its Mr to close to that of normal tau. Moreover, the LysSerProVal motif in normal human tau appeared to be an abnormal phosphorylation site in A68 because the Ser in this motif was a phosphate acceptor site in A68, but not in normal human tau. Thus, the major subunits of a class of PHFs are A68 proteins and the excessive or inappropriate phosphorylation of normal tau may change its apparent Mr, thus transforming tau into A68.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lee, V M -- Balin, B J -- Otvos, L Jr -- Trojanowski, J Q -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1991 Feb 8;251(4994):675-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia 19104.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1899488" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Tau proteins aggregate as cytoplasmic inclusions in a number of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease and hereditary frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17). Over 10 exonic and intronic mutations in the tau gene have been identified in about 20 FTDP-17 families. Analyses of soluble and insoluble tau proteins from brains of FTDP-17 patients indicated that different pathogenic mutations differentially altered distinct biochemical properties and stoichiometry of brain tau isoforms. Functional assays of recombinant tau proteins with different FTDP-17 missense mutations implicated all but one of these mutations in disease pathogenesis by reducing the ability of tau to bind microtubules and promote microtubule assembly.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hong, M -- Zhukareva, V -- Vogelsberg-Ragaglia, V -- Wszolek, Z -- Reed, L -- Miller, B I -- Geschwind, D H -- Bird, T D -- McKeel, D -- Goate, A -- Morris, J C -- Wilhelmsen, K C -- Schellenberg, G D -- Trojanowski, J Q -- Lee, V M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1998 Dec 4;282(5395):1914-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Center for Neurodegenerative Disease Research, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9836646" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn) and tau polymerize into amyloid fibrils and form intraneuronal filamentous inclusions characteristic of neurodegenerative diseases. We demonstrate that alpha-syn induces fibrillization of tau and that coincubation of tau and alpha-syn synergistically promotes fibrillization of both proteins. The in vivo relevance of these findings is grounded in the co-occurrence of alpha-syn and tau filamentous amyloid inclusions in humans, in single transgenic mice that express A53T human alpha-syn in neurons, and in oligodendrocytes of bigenic mice that express wild-type human alpha-syn plus P301L mutant tau. This suggests that interactions between alpha-syn and tau can promote their fibrillization and drive the formation of pathological inclusions in human neurodegenerative diseases.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Giasson, Benoit I -- Forman, Mark S -- Higuchi, Makoto -- Golbe, Lawrence I -- Graves, Charles L -- Kotzbauer, Paul T -- Trojanowski, John Q -- Lee, Virginia M-Y -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Apr 25;300(5619):636-40.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Center for Neurodegenerative Disease Research, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12714745" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Ubiquitin-positive, tau- and alpha-synuclein-negative inclusions are hallmarks of frontotemporal lobar degeneration with ubiquitin-positive inclusions and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Although the identity of the ubiquitinated protein specific to either disorder was unknown, we showed that TDP-43 is the major disease protein in both disorders. Pathologic TDP-43 was hyper-phosphorylated, ubiquitinated, and cleaved to generate C-terminal fragments and was recovered only from affected central nervous system regions, including hippocampus, neocortex, and spinal cord. TDP-43 represents the common pathologic substrate linking these neurodegenerative disorders.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Neumann, Manuela -- Sampathu, Deepak M -- Kwong, Linda K -- Truax, Adam C -- Micsenyi, Matthew C -- Chou, Thomas T -- Bruce, Jennifer -- Schuck, Theresa -- Grossman, Murray -- Clark, Christopher M -- McCluskey, Leo F -- Miller, Bruce L -- Masliah, Eliezer -- Mackenzie, Ian R -- Feldman, Howard -- Feiden, Wolfgang -- Kretzschmar, Hans A -- Trojanowski, John Q -- Lee, Virginia M-Y -- AG10124/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- AG17586/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- T32 AG00255/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2006 Oct 6;314(5796):130-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Center for Neurodegenerative Disease Research, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17023659" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Parkinson's disease is characterized by abundant alpha-synuclein (alpha-Syn) neuronal inclusions, known as Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites, and the massive loss of midbrain dopamine neurons. However, a cause-and-effect relationship between Lewy inclusion formation and neurodegeneration remains unclear. Here, we found that in wild-type nontransgenic mice, a single intrastriatal inoculation of synthetic alpha-Syn fibrils led to the cell-to-cell transmission of pathologic alpha-Syn and Parkinson's-like Lewy pathology in anatomically interconnected regions. Lewy pathology accumulation resulted in progressive loss of dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, but not in the adjacent ventral tegmental area, and was accompanied by reduced dopamine levels culminating in motor deficits. This recapitulation of a neurodegenerative cascade thus establishes a mechanistic link between transmission of pathologic alpha-Syn and the cardinal features of Parkinson's disease.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3552321/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3552321/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Luk, Kelvin C -- Kehm, Victoria -- Carroll, Jenna -- Zhang, Bin -- O'Brien, Patrick -- Trojanowski, John Q -- Lee, Virginia M-Y -- NS053488/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- P50 NS053488/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Nov 16;338(6109):949-53. doi: 10.1126/science.1227157.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Institute on Aging and Center for Neurodegenerative Disease Research, University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, Philadelphia, PA 19104-4283, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23161999" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Notes: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a heterogeneous dementing disorder of the elderly that is characterized by progressive cognitive impairments and the accumulation of abundant amyloid or senile plaques (SPs) and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) as well as the massive loss of neutrons in the AD brain. Indeed, a secure diagnosis of AD in patients with a chronic progressive dementia requires evidence of numerous SPs and NFTs in the postmortem brain. Although the deposition of fibrillar amyloid or Aβ-peptides in extracellular plaques and the accumulation of tau-rich intraneuronal NFTs are not restricted exclusively to AD, there is a close correlation between the burden of tau-rich neurofibrillary lesions in selected telencephalic regions of the brain and the dementia in AD. Since the formation of neurofibrillary lesions from hyperphosphorylated tau proteins may compromise the function and viability of neurons in the AD brain, this review summarizes recent insights into mechanisms that regulate the phosphorylation state of tau in AD.
