Lipidic folding pathway of α-Synuclein via a toxic oligomer by Vrinda Sant, Dirk Matthes, Hisham Mazal, Leif Antonschmidt, Franz Wieser, Kumar T. Movellan, Kai Xue, Evgeny Nimerovsky, Marianna Stampolaki, Magdeline Nathan, Dietmar Riedel, Stefan Becker, Vahid Sandoghdar, Bert L. de Groot, Christian Griesinger, Loren B. Andreas

“…Consistent with reports of anti-parallel β-strands being a defining feature of toxic αS pre-fibrillar intermediates, I1 impacts viability of neuroblasts and disrupts cell membranes, resulting in an increased calcium influx. Our results integrate the occurrence of anti-parallel β-strands as salient features of toxic oligomers with their significant role in the amyloid fibril assembly pathway. …”
