Scientific Background | Alpha-Synuclein (SNCA) is expressed predominantly in the brain, where it is concentrated in presynaptic nerve terminals (1). Alpha-synuclein is highly expressed in the mitochondria of the olfactory bulb, hippocampus, striatum and thalamus (2). Functionally, it has been shown to significantly interact with tubulin (3), and may serve as a potential microtubule-associated protein. It has also been found to be essential for normal development of the cognitive functions; inactivation may lead to impaired spatial learning and working memory (4). SNCA fibrillar aggregates represent the major non A-beta component of Alzheimers disease amyloid plaque, and a major component of Lewy body inclusions, and Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive accumulation in selected neurons of protein inclusions containing alpha-synuclein and ubiquitin (5, 6). |

Thioflavin T is a fluorescent dye that binds to beta sheet-rich structures, such as those in alpha synuclein fibrils. ATTO 594-conjugated alpha synuclein pre-formed fibrils (SPR-322-A594) show similar seeding capabilities as uncojugated alpha synuclein pre-formed fibrils (SPR-322) when combined with monomers. Plate Used: HTRF 96-well low volume white plate (Cisbio). Reaction Volume: 15 uL. Thioflavin T Concentration: 40 uM. SDS Catalyst concentration: 0.73 mM. Incubation: 37C, 600 rpm.

Cells seeded at 8k cells per well. Green: mouse anti-alpha synuclein (pSer129) monoclonal antibody (SMC-600) 1:5000; Red: alpha-synuclein PFFs (SPR-322-A594); Pink: actin; Blue: Hoechst / DNA.
