We report the identification of a novel missense mutation (NM_000345.4, cDNA 174G>C; protein K58N) in a PD patient using whole exome sequencing, and describe comprehensive molecular and cellular analysss of the effects of this novel mutation. The patient exhibited typical sporadic PD with early onset and a benign disease course. Biophysical studies revealed that the K58N substitution causes local structural effects, disrupts binding to membranes, and enhances aSyn in vitro aggregation. K58N aSyn produces fewer inclusions per cell, and fails to undergo condensate formation. The mutation increases the cytoplasmic distribution of the protein, and has minimal effect on the dynamic reversibility of serine-129 phosphorylation. In total, the identification of this novel mutation advances our understanding of aSyn biology and pathobiology. #1: Journal: medRxiv / Year: 2025 Title: A novel alpha-synuclein G14R missense variant is associated with atypical neuropathological features.

AIM AND METHODS: A patient carrying aSyn missense mutation and his family members were studied. We present the clinical features, genetic testing - whole exome sequencing (WES), and neuropathological ...AIM AND METHODS: A patient carrying aSyn missense mutation and his family members were studied. We present the clinical features, genetic testing - whole exome sequencing (WES), and neuropathological findings. The functional consequences of this aSyn variant were extensively investigated using biochemical, biophysical, and cellular assays. RESULTS: The patient exhibited a complex neurodegenerative disease that included generalized myocloni, bradykinesia, dystonia of the left arm and apraxia. WES identified a novel heterozygous variant ...RESULTS: The patient exhibited a complex neurodegenerative disease that included generalized myocloni, bradykinesia, dystonia of the left arm and apraxia. WES identified a novel heterozygous variant (cDNA 40G>A; protein G14R). Neuropathological examination showed extensive atypical aSyn pathology with frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) and nigral degeneration pattern with abundant ring-like neuronal inclusions, and few oligodendroglial inclusions. Sanger sequencing confirmed the variant in the healthy, elderly parent of the patient patient suggesting incomplete penetrance. NMR studies suggest that the G14R mutation induces a local structural alteration in aSyn, and lower thioflavin T binding in in vitro fibrillization assays. Interestingly, the G14R aSyn fibers display different fibrillar morphologies as revealed by cryo-electron microscopy. Cellular studies of the G14R variant revealed increased inclusion formation, enhanced membrane association, and impaired dynamic reversibility of serine-129 phosphorylation. SUMMARY: The atypical neuropathological features observed, which are reminiscent of those observed for the G51D aSyn variant, suggest a causal role of the variant with a distinct clinical and ...SUMMARY: The atypical neuropathological features observed, which are reminiscent of those observed for the G51D aSyn variant, suggest a causal role of the variant with a distinct clinical and pathological phenotype, which is further supported by the properties of the mutant aSyn, compatible with the strain hypothesis of proteinopathies. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
