Structural Insights of Fe3+Induced a-synuclein Fibrillation in Parkinson's Disease

Qinyue Zhao et al.

Summary: Amyloid aggregation of a-synuclein in Lewy bodies is the characteristic pathology of Parkinson's disease. Iron, specifically Fe3+, accumulates in the substantia nigra of PD patients and co-deposits with a-synuclein in Lewy bodies. This study found that Fe3+ can promote a-synuclein fibrillation at low concentrations but inhibit it at high concentrations. Cryo-electron microscopy revealed the atomic structure of a-synuclein fibrils in complex with Fe3+, showing the binding sites of Fe3+ and water molecules and explaining the role of Fe3+ in promoting a-synuclein aggregation.

Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation? Ask the Water!

Simone Pezzotti et al.

Summary: Water actively participates in liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) by driving and being involved in the process. LLPS is governed by changes in hydration entropy and enthalpy. To tune LLPS for biological and medical applications, a general model is required to quantify thermodynamic driving forces. In this study, we develop such a model based on measured THz features of hydration populations, revealing the thermodynamic changes and providing a rational means to manipulate LLPS.

Manganese promotes α-synuclein amyloid aggregation through the induction of protein phase transition

Bingkuan Xu et al.

Summary: The major protein component of Lewy bodies, alpha-Synuclein, is found to aggregate faster with the presence of Mn2+ ions, which regulate the protein phase separation process. Mn2+ not only promotes the transition of alpha-Synuclein from liquid to solid phase, but also induces soluble alpha-Synuclein monomers to form solid-like condensates. This phase transition facilitated the aggregation of alpha-Synuclein. Additionally, the integration of lipid membranes into the condensates during the Mn2+-induced alpha-Synuclein phase transition was observed.

Prion Protein Biology Through the Lens of Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation

Aishwarya Agarwal et al.

Summary: This review provides a historical perspective on the development of the prion concept and summarizes the current state of knowledge regarding prion biology, including its structure, molecular aspects, and cellular characteristics. The putative functional role of the N-terminal intrinsically disordered segment of the prion protein is discussed, as well as the emerging role of liquid-liquid phase separation in prion phase behavior. The evolutionary perspective of the prion protein and important questions associated with phase transitions are also highlighted.

Temperature-dependent reentrant phase transition of RNA-polycation mixtures

Paul Pullara et al.

Summary: Research shows that RNA-polyamine mixtures undergo a reentrant phase separation with temperature, forming a homogenous phase at low temperatures, condensates at higher temperatures, and back to homogenous phase at further increased temperatures. This dual-response phase separation is not unique to polyamines but also observed with short cationic peptides.

Calcium promotes α-synuclein liquid-liquid phase separation to accelerate amyloid aggregation

Shuai Huang et al.

Summary: This study reveals that Ca2+ accelerates the amyloid aggregation of α-Syn through the modulation of protein phase separation. Ca2+ promotes the formation of α-Syn liquid droplets and enables their fusion with other droplets. The enlargement of Ca2+-induced α-Syn droplets can be eliminated by a metal chelator. Interestingly, Ca2+ still promotes α-Syn phase separation in the presence of lipid membranes and facilitates the recruitment of lipid vesicles to the surface of these condensates.

Summary: alpha-Synuclein aggregation is a critical molecular process in Parkinson's disease pathogenesis, and its nature influences the clinical heterogeneity. Alpha-synuclein assemblies need to exhibit seeding competency and toxicity for neurodegeneration to occur. It is currently unknown which alpha-synuclein assemblies are most relevant to the human condition.

TDP-43 Oligomerization and Phase Separation Properties Are Necessary for Autoregulation

Lydia C. Koehler et al.

Summary: Loss of TDP-43 protein homeostasis and dysfunction, specifically TDP-43 aggregation, are linked to ALS and FTD. The interaction between TDP-43 and its own transcript is crucial for preventing aggregation and loss of function. This study found that a central RNA sequence in the 3' UTR mediates TDP-43 autoregulation and promotes self-assembly of TDP-43 into ribonucleoprotein granules. ALS-associated TDP-43 mutations and a shorter TDP-43 isoform disrupt the liquid properties of TDP-43-RNA condensates and affect protein homeostasis.

Alpha-Synuclein Aggregation Pathway in Parkinson's Disease: Current Status and Novel Therapeutic Approaches

Marija Vidovic et al.

Summary: Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second-most common neurodegenerative disorder and lacks disease-modifying therapy. Aggregation of alpha-synuclein (alpha-Syn) is closely associated with PD, and current therapeutic strategies primarily focus on targeting alpha-Syn using small molecules and peptides. Other approaches such as gene silencing, cell transplantation, and immunotherapy are also being explored.

Regulation of TIA-1 Condensates: Zn2+ and RGG Motifs Promote Nucleic Acid Driven LLPS and Inhibit Irreversible Aggregation

Danella L. West et al.

Summary: Stress granules are important non-membrane bound RNA-protein granules for cell survival during stress. The TIA-1 protein plays a key role in stress granule formation through liquid-liquid phase separation, but it is also prone to irreversible fibrillar aggregation. This study reveals that stress granule co-factors Zn2+ and RGG-rich regions from FUS, along with nucleic acids, induce liquid-liquid phase separation of TIA-1 and inhibit fibril formation. These co-factors promote TIA-1 multimerization independently of the prion-like domain, contributing to the dynamic nature of stress granules and cellular protection.

An intrinsically disordered pathological prion variant Y145Stop converts into self-seeding amyloids via liquid-liquid phase separation

Aishwarya Agarwal et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that a mutation in the prion protein associated with neurodegenerative diseases leads to liquid-liquid phase separation of a highly disordered N-terminal region, which is modulated by RNA and gradually transforms into ordered amyloid-like aggregates over time. Furthermore, the interplay of molecular factors in modulating the protein phase behavior may have broader implications in cell physiology and disease.

CaMKII activation persistently segregates postsynaptic proteins via liquid phase separation

Summary: The authors demonstrate that CaMKII undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation triggered by calcium signaling, which leads to the reorganization of postsynaptic structures and potentially enhances synaptic transmission efficacy during memory formation. This process of phase separation, induced by calcium signals, may serve as an activity-dependent mechanism to crosslink postsynaptic proteins, contributing to synaptic reorganization associated with synaptic plasticity.

The intrinsically disordered N1 domain of prion protein (PrP) is necessary and sufficient for LLPS, with positively charged lysines in the postoctarepeat region identified as essential drivers of condensate formation. Notably, the A beta-binding domain in N1 also plays a crucial role in this process.

Liquid-liquid phase separation of full-length prion protein initiates conformational conversion in vitro

Summary: Prion diseases are characterized by the accumulation of amyloid fibrils, with the infectious agent PrPSc converting normal PrPC into a protease-resistant prion protein. The study showed that recombinant prion protein could undergo liquid-liquid phase separation, leading to a liquid-solid phase transition and the formation of proteinase-resistant amyloid. The process involved the N-terminal region of the protein and kosmotropic salts, suggesting an important role for these salts in promoting phase separation.
