-Synuclein is one of the major
components of intracellular fibrillary aggregates in the brains of a
subset of neurodegenerative disorders, including Parkinson's disease,
dementia with Lewy bodies, multiple system atrophy, and
Hallervorden-Spatz disease, which are referred to as
-synucleinopathies. We have shown previously (Fujiwara, H.,
Hasegawa, M., Dohmae, N., Kawashima, A., Masliah, E., Goldberg, M. S., Shen, J., Takio, K., and Iwatsubo, T. (2002) Nat. Cell
Biol. 4, 160-164) that -synuclein deposited in
synucleinopathy brains is extensively phosphorylated at Ser-129
and migrates at 15 kDa. Here we examined the biochemical
characteristics of the additional, higher molecular mass species
of phosphorylated -synuclein-positive polypeptides that also are
recovered in the Sarkosyl-insoluble fraction of synucleinopathy and
migrate at about 22 and 29 kDa. These 22 and 29 kDa bands were positive
for three different anti-ubiquitin antibodies and comigrated perfectly
with in vitro ubiquitinated -synuclein that may
correspond to mono- and diubiquitinated -synuclein, respectively.
Furthermore, cyanogen bromide cleavage of the 22 and 29 kDa
polypeptides shifted the mobility to 19 and 26 kDa, respectively, and
they retained immunoreactivity for both ubiquitin and -synuclein.
Finally, protein sequence analysis showed that the 19 kDa band
contained two amino-terminal sequences of -synuclein and ubiquitin.
These results strongly suggest that phosphorylated -synuclein is
targeted to mono- and diubiquitination in synucleinopathy brains, which
may have implications for mechanisms of these diseases.
