Fibrils from the Parkinson's-disease-related A53T mutant of alpha-synuclein were investigated by solid-state NMR spectroscopy, electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. Sequential solid-state NMR resonance assignments were obtained for a large fraction of the fibril core. Experiments conducted above and below the freezing point suggest that the fibrils contain regions with increased mobility and structural elements different from strand character, in addition to the rigid beta-sheet-rich core region. As in earlier studies on wild-type alpha-synuclein, the C-terminus was found to be flexible and unfolded, whereas the main core region was highly rigid and rich in beta-sheets. Compared to fibrils from wild-type a-synuclein, the well-ordered beta-sheet region extends to at least L38 and L100. These results demonstrate that a disease-related mutant of a-synuclein differs in both aggregation kinetics and fibril structure. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
