Résumé
α-Synuclein (α-syn) is a major component of abnormal protein deposits observed in the brains of patients with synucleinopathies, including Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and multiple system atrophy (MSA). The synaptic protein α-syn is water-soluble under normal physiological conditions, but in these patients' brains, we see accumulation of insoluble amyloid-like α-syn fibrils with prion-like properties. Intracerebral accumulation of these fibrils is correlated with disease onset and progression. Recombinant α-syn protein also forms amyloid-like fibrils that are structurally akin to those extracted from patients' brains. Recent cryo-electron microscopic studies have identified the core structures of synthetic α-syn fibrils and α-syn fibrils extracted from the brains of patients with MSA at the atomic level. In this chapter, we describe negative staining and immunoelectron microscopy protocols for ultrastructural characterization of synthetic α-syn fibrils and pathological α-syn fibrils.
