英文摘要 | The intracellular milieu contains upwards of 400 g of macromolecules per liter. This crowding is thought to have a larger influence on intrinsically disordered proteins, whose chains are expanded, than on compact globular proteins. Classic theories of macromolecular crowding predict that increasing excluded volume effects will lead disordered proteins to compaction, and a great deal of data, from both simulation and experiments support this idea. We used nuclear magnetic resonance, circular dichroism, and fluorescence spectroscopies to characterize the structure and fibrillation of alpha-synuclein, an intrinsically disordered protein implicated in Parkinson's disease, using Ficoll70, its monomer sucrose and bovine serum albumin as crowding agents. Surprisingly, volume exclusion induced by high concentrations of macromolecules may not be the main reason for the compaction of alpha-synuclein. Our results indicate that all aspects crowding must be considered to understand protein conformation under crowded conditions. |
