alpha -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 alpha -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 alpha -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 alpha -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 alpha -synuclein that may correspond to mono- and diubiquitinated alpha -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 alpha -synuclein. Finally, protein sequence analysis showed that the 19 kDa band contained two amino-terminal sequences of alpha -synuclein and ubiquitin. These results strongly suggest that phosphorylated alpha -synuclein is targeted to mono- and diubiquitination in synucleinopathy brains, which may have implications for mechanisms of these diseases.
