Background Informationa-synuclein (UniProt: P37840; also known Non-A beta component of AD amyloid, Non-A4 component of amyloid precursor, NACP) and beta-synuclein (UniProt: Q16143) are encoded by the SNCA (also known as NACP, PARK1) and SNCB genes, respectively in human. a-synuclein is abundantly expressed in the brain and is found in a classic amyloid fibril form within the intra-neuronal Lewy body deposits of Parkinson's disease brains. In its monomeric form it participates in synaptic vesicle exocytosis by enhancing vesicle priming, fusion and dilation of exocytotic fusion pores. It acts by increasing local Ca2+ release from microdomains which is essential for the enhancement of ATP-induced exocytosis. In its multimeric form it acts as a molecular chaperone assisting in the folding of synaptic fusion components called SNAREs at presynaptic membrane. It is also involved in the regulation of dopamine release and transport. It is also reported to reduce neuronal responsiveness to various apoptotic stimuli, leading to a decreased caspase-3 activation. Post-translationally synucleins can be nitrosylated. Higher levels of nitrosylation has been reported in a-synucleinopathies, such as in Parkinson's disease (PD), where 3-nitrotyrosinated a-synuclein is detected in brain aggregates. The intensity of nitrosylation of tyrosine 125 and 136 is shown to be enhanced and that of the tyrosine 39 is reduced in PD patients. a-synuclein can also undergo phosphorylation on serine residues. Phosphorylation of serine 129 is reported to be selective and extensive in synucleinopathy lesions. Genetic alterations of SNCA gene is reported to result in aberrant polymerization into fibrils, which is associated with several neurodegenerative diseases (synucleinopathies). Mutations in SNCA gene are also known to Parkinson's disease characterized by bradykinesia, resting tremor, muscular rigidity and postural instability. The pathology of Parkinson s disease involves progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and the presence of Lewy bodies in surviving neurons in various areas of the brain. Clone nSyn12 detects a-Synuclein nitrated at Tyr125/Tyr136 and β-Synuclein nitrated at Tyr130. (Ref.: Fernandez, E., et al. (2013). Antitoxic. Redox Signal. 19(9); 912-918).
