Neurofilament Light Disordered Tail Mutations Reshape Its Self-Assembled Network Structure

Rawan Aodeh, Yoav Dan, Dean Yona, Mohammad Shalabi, Asaf Sivan, Mathar Kravicas, Hillel Aharoni, Gil Koren, Lihi Adler‐Abramovich, Roy Beck

The paper investigates how mutations in the disordered tail of neurofilament-light protein affect its self-assembled network structure and function, revealing mechanisms linking sequence changes to disease.

Not All Charges Are Equal: Side-Chain Chemistry Reshapes the Disordered Ensemble of α-synuclein

Gil Koren, Nuno Fernandes, Asaf Sivan, Rawan Aodeh, Dean Yona, Mathar Kravikass, Yuval Keidar, Kresten Lindorff‐Larsen, Roy Beck

This paper shows that arginine substitutions, despite similar charge, compact α-synuclein more than lysine, accelerating amyloid formation and reshaping its disordered ensemble.

Single cell transcriptomics reveals enrichment of aggregation-prone alpha-synuclein isoforms across synucleinopathies

Elliot Keats Shwab, Webb Pierson, Daniel Oliveros Gingerich, Zhaohui Man, Sapir Margalit, Dean Yona, Aasaf Sivan, Julia Gamache, Geidy E. Serrano, Thomas G. Beach, Yuval Ebenstein, Roy Beck, Ornit Chiba‐Falek

The paper uses long-read and single nucleus RNA-seq to identify novel SNCA transcript isoforms and their association with Parkinson's and Lewy body dementia.
