Serine-129 phosphorylation of α-synuclein is an activity-dependent trigger for physiologic protein-protein interactions and synaptic function

Phosphorylation of α-synuclein at the serine-129 site (α-syn Ser129P) is an established pathologic hallmark of synucleinopathies and a therapeutic target. In physiologic states, only a fraction of α-syn is phosphorylated at this site, and most…

Synapsin E-domain is essential for α-synuclein function

Synucleins and synapsins are thought to cooperate to regulate synaptic vesicle recycling, but the mechanism is not known. Here we identify the synapsin E-domain as an essential binding partner of α-syn, enabling the function of α-syn at the…
