Curry A, Fernandez R, Pagani T, Abeyawardhane D, Trahan M, Lucas H
Life (Basel) . 2020 Jul; 10(8). PMID: 32726960
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurological disease and belongs to a group of neurodegenerative disorders called synucleinopathies in which pathological aggregates of N-terminally acetylated α-synuclein (α-Syn) accumulate...

Murgas C, Green S, Forney A, Korba R, An S, Kitten T, et al.
ACS Infect Dis . 2020 Apr; 6(7):1906-1921. PMID: 32329608
is an oral commensal bacterium, but it can colonize pre-existing heart valve vegetations if introduced into the bloodstream, leading to infective endocarditis. Loss of Mn- or Fe-cofactored virulence determinants are...

Abeyawardhane D, Curry A, Forney A, Roberts J, Lucas H
J Biol Inorg Chem . 2019 Nov; 24(8):1261-1268. PMID: 31728738
Metal dyshomeostasis has long been linked to Parkinson's disease (PD), and the amyloidogenic protein α-synuclein (αS) is universally recognized as a key player in PD pathology. Structural consequences upon coordination...

Oxid Med Cell Longev . 2019 Nov; 2019:4609702. PMID: 31687080
The etiology of Parkinson's disease (PD) is linked with cellular inclusions in the region of the brain that are enriched in the misfolded presynaptic protein -synuclein (S) and death of...

Lucas H, Fernandez R
Neural Regen Res . 2019 Oct; 15(3):407-415. PMID: 31571649
N-acetylated α-synuclein (αSyn) has long been established as an intrinsically disordered protein associated with a dysfunctional role in Parkinson's disease. In recent years, a physiologically relevant, higher order conformation has...

J Am Chem Soc . 2018 Nov; 140(49):17086-17094. PMID: 30422655
Aggregation of the neuronal protein α-synuclein (αS) is a critical factor in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. Analytical methods to detect post-translational modifications of αS are under development, yet the...
