α-Synuclein and γ-Tubulin Cooperatively Regulate Activity-Evoked Presynaptic Microtubule Nucleation to Gate Dopamine Release

Alessandro Comincini, Se Joon Choi, Eugene V. Mosharov, Edoardo Milanetti, Ellen Kanter, Giancarlo Ruocco, Graziella Cappelletti, David L. Sulzer, Francesca Bartolini

This study identifies a mechanism by which α-synuclein and γ-tubulin cooperatively regulate activity-evoked presynaptic microtubule nucleation to control dopamine release.

Interaction of an alpha-synuclein epitope with HLA-DRB1*15:01 triggers enteric features in mice reminiscent of prodromal Parkinson's disease

Francesca Garretti, Connor Monahan, Nicholas Sloan, Jamie Bergen, Sanjid Shahriar, Seon Woo Kim, Alessandro Sette, Tyler Cutforth, Ellen Kanter, Dritan Agalliu, David L. Sulzer

This study shows that immunizing HLA-DRB1*15:01 mice with the alpha-synuclein epitope -syn32-46 causes intestinal inflammation, neuron loss, and constipation, mimicking prodromal Parkinson's disease features.
