1 inherited forms of PD The Pathogenesis of Parkinson s Disease February, 2013 PARK1 dominant α-synuclein presynaptic protein PARK2 recessive parkin E3 ubiquitin ligase PARK3 dominant 2p13? PARK4 dominant α-synuclein triplication PARK5 dominant UCHL1 ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase PARK6 recessive PINK1 mitochondrial kinase PARK7 recessive DJ-1 chaperone? PARK8 dominant LRRK2 leucine-rich repeat kinase PARK9 recessive ATP13A2 P-type lysosomal hydrolase PARK13 dominant HTRA2 serine protease Autosomal Recessive Parkinson s Disease early onset (by late 20s) mild symptoms, slow progression prominent freezing, hyperreflexia and foot dystonia improvement after sleep no Lewy bodies by usual stains mutations found in diverse families parkin is an E3 ubiquitin ligase?role in protein turnover? --several proteins identified but none accumulate in patients, KO mice and no Lewy bodies in recessive PD!?another role for ubiquitination? 1

2 Drosophila other autosomal recessive forms of PD DJ-1 (PARK7) rare?protease/?chaperone protects against oxidative stress PINK1 (PARK6) mitochondrial ser/thr kinase mouse knockouts of parkin, DJ-1, PINK1 have little phenotype parkin OE pink1 -/- mitochondrial defects PINK1? parkin (Clark et al., 2006) pink1 -/- parkin -/- depolarization with CCCP recruits parkin to mitochondria depolarization of mitochondria and parkin over-expression --lead to loss of mitochondria (and increase in lysosomes) --parkin promotes autophagy of mitochondria (Narendra et al., 2008) (Narendra et al., 2008) 2

3 dominant forms of PD parkin recruitment phosphorylation of?substrates suppression of apoptosis mitochondrial fission block fusion mitophagy make new mitochondria replace defective mitochondria PARK1 dominant α-synuclein presynaptic protein PARK2 recessive parkin E3 ubiquitin ligase PARK3 dominant 2p13? PARK4 dominant α-synuclein triplication PARK5 dominant UCHL1 ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase PARK6 recessive PINK1 mitochondrial kinase PARK7 recessive DJ-1 chaperone? PARK8 dominant LRRK2 leucine-rich repeat kinase PARK9 recessive ATP13A2 P-type lysosomal hydrolase PARK13 dominant HTRA2 serine protease polymorphisms in synuclein a risk factor for idiopathic PD Gaucher s disease turns out to be a major risk factor (OR~6) Synucleinopathies probably general role in PD a major component of Lewy bodies even without mutations extensive deposition in dystrophic neurites and Lewy bodies mutations outside NAC region A53T better established genetically but T the normal residue in rodents! A30P not well established by linkage but a highly conserved residue three isoforms (α-, β-, γ-): α-, β- neuronal N-terminal repeats conserved mutations rare BUT accumulates in essentially all sporadic PD: triplication of wild type α-synuclein also causes PD! deposits in diffuse Lewy Body Dementia, throughout brain Multiple System Atrophy is another synucleinopathy α-synuclein occurs in glial cell inclusions (PSP, CBGD tauopathies) but synuclein widely expressed --so why mainly deposited in dopamine neurons in PD? 3

4 Braak staging dorsal motor X raphe locus coeruleus nucleus basalis early: constipation, REM behavior disorder, depression (can precede motor sx by yrs) late: cognitive, autonomic problems (Braak et al, 2006) preformed mouse fibrils injected into striatum Prion-like spread Braak staging: enteric nervous system to caudal brainstem Lewy bodies found in some fetal transplants injection of Lewy bodies or recombinant synuclein fibrils accelerates disease in transgenic mice mouse fibrils result in spread after injection into wt mice dopamine neuron loss, behavioral defects --proof of principle?significance for idiopathic disorder? uni- versus multicentric onset lesions in cortex midbrain, amygdala --spread between cells:?monosynaptic?or more reduced dopamine reduced dopamine cells impaired motor skills (Luk et al., 2012) 4

5 how does synuclein cause PD? is role in toxicity related to its normal function? aggregation forms amyloid (β-sheet) membrane interaction normally localizes to nerve terminal binds to membrane (α-helical) very weak binding to synaptic vesicles physiological role: unknown effect of knock-outs controversial absent from yeast, worms, flies --not essential for transmitter release?modulator set to low baseline level of activity? binds to artificial membranes with acidic phospholipids --not to native membranes (SVs) paradox: how does synuclein localize to synapses despite low affinity interaction? α-synuclein Ca ++ synapsin P what does synuclein do to synaptic transmission? --knockouts not initially reported to affect transmitter release AND synuclein actually rescues degeneration!!! due to loss of cysteine string protein (chaperone) --csp a chaperone, refolds proteins involved in release --csp not required for transmitter release, initially --csp KO shows degeneration after several weeks is synuclein another chaperone? --looked at effects of over-expression neural activity disperses α-synuclein at SV fusion 5

6 imaging no effect on reporter no effect on endocytosis exocytosis impaired recording C-terminus not required N-terminus is required: membrane-binding synuclein over-expression 2-3-fold inhibits SV exocytosis reserve pool recycling pool SVs less dense same number further from active zone readily releasable pool 6

7 α-syn over-expression (Hela cells): mitogfp reserve pool recycling pool readily releasable pool fusion assay fission machinery --no defect mitochondria still fragmented in absence of Drp1 7

8 light scattering synuclein fragments and aggregates membranes with acidic phospholipid headgroups (CL) synuclein tubulates membranes Conclusions physiological defect precedes pathology probably involves a gain in normal function synuclein can bind to and fragment mitochondria independent of usual fission machinery direct interaction correlates with toxicity synuclein bends membranes ~other BAR domain proteins (endocytosis) related role in SV exocytosis? Questions how does synuclein inhibit release? what makes synuclein increase under normal circumstances?
