Abstract
The fields of allostery and amyloid-related pathologies, such as Parkinson's disease (PD), have been extensively explored individually, but less is known about how amyloids control allostery. Recent advancements have revealed that amyloids can drive allosteric effects in both intrinsically disordered proteins, such as alpha-synuclein (αS), and multi-domain signaling proteins, such as protein kinase A (PKA). Amyloid-driven allostery plays a central role in explaining the mechanisms of gain-of-pathological-function mutations in αS (e.g. E46K, which causes early PD onset) and loss-of-physiological-function mutations in PKA (e.g. A211D, which predisposes to tumors). This review highlights allosteric effects of disease-related mutations and how they can cause exposure of amyloidogenic regions, leading to amyloids that are either toxic or cause aberrant signaling. We also discuss multiple potential modulators of these allosteric effects, such as MgATP and kinase substrates, opening future opportunities to improve current pharmacological interventions against αS and PKA-related pathologies. Overall, we show that amyloid-driven allosteric models are useful to explain the mechanisms underlying disease-related mutations.
期刊介绍:
Biophysical Chemistry publishes original work and reviews in the areas of chemistry and physics directly impacting biological phenomena. Quantitative analysis of the properties of biological macromolecules, biologically active molecules, macromolecular assemblies and cell components in terms of kinetics, thermodynamics, spatio-temporal organization, NMR and X-ray structural biology, as well as single-molecule detection represent a major focus of the journal. Theoretical and computational treatments of biomacromolecular systems, macromolecular interactions, regulatory control and systems biology are also of interest to the journal.
