Overlay histogram showing SH-SY5Y cells stained with unpurified ab51252 (red line). The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (unpurified ab51252, 1/1000 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was Alexa Fluorr® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) (ab150077) at 1/2000 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (monoclonal) (0.1μg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control. Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 20mW Argon ion laser (488nm) and 525/30 bandpass filter.

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab51252).

The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6) in a Dako Pascal pressure cooker using the standard factory-set regime. Non-specific protein-protein interactions were then blocked in TBS containing 0.025% (v/v) Triton X-100, 0.3M (w/v) glycine and 1% (w/v) BSA for 1h at room temperature. The section was then incubated overnight at +4°C in TBS containing 0.025% (v/v) Triton X-100 and 1% (w/v) BSA with ab199304 at 1/50 (shown in red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue). The section was then mounted using Fluoromount®.

Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated), customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, antibody concentrations and incubation times.

Supplementary information

This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.

Alpha-synuclein and beta-synuclein are proteins implicated in the dynamics of neuronal function. Alpha-synuclein also known as SNCA is a synaptic protein weighing approximately 14 kDa expressed highly in the central nervous system. Unlike alpha-synuclein beta-synuclein shares a similar structure but differs in function and molecular weight. Both proteins belong to the synuclein family which also includes gamma-synuclein and are found primarily in pre-synaptic terminals contributing to synaptic vesicle physiology.
Biological function summary

Alpha- and beta-synuclein play roles in synaptic function and plasticity where they influence neurotransmitter release and vesicle recycling. These proteins do not generally form a stable complex with each other but their presence together suggests a regulatory interplay. Alpha-synuclein may promote vesicle formation and trafficking while beta-synuclein appears to counteract alpha's effects potentially protecting neurons from alpha-synuclein aggregation.

Pathways

Alpha- and beta-synuclein are key components in the synaptic vesicle cycle especially associated with the SNARE complex and neurotransmitter balance. Alpha-synuclein interacts with proteins like VAMP2 and STX1A in vesicle merging while beta-synuclein's regulatory role has implications in maintaining these interactions. In lipid metabolism alpha-synuclein influences fatty acid binding protein pathways impacting neuronal lipid transport and homeostasis.

Alpha- and beta-synuclein hold significant relevance particularly in neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies which show marked alpha-synuclein aggregates known as Lewy bodies. Alpha-synuclein's accumulation in neurons correlates with disease progression. Beta-synuclein on the other hand appears to have a protective role potentially mitigating the toxicity of alpha's aggregates. The relation between these synucleins underlines their importance in therapeutic research for these disorders.

Target data

Neuronal protein that plays several roles in synaptic activity such as regulation of synaptic vesicle trafficking and subsequent neurotransmitter release (PubMed : 20798282, PubMed : 26442590, PubMed : 28288128, PubMed : 30404828). Participates as a monomer in synaptic vesicle exocytosis by enhancing vesicle priming, fusion and dilation of exocytotic fusion pores (PubMed : 28288128, PubMed : 30404828). Mechanistically, acts by increasing local Ca(2+) release from microdomains which is essential for the enhancement of ATP-induced exocytosis (PubMed : 30404828). Also acts as a molecular chaperone in its multimeric membrane-bound state, assisting in the folding of synaptic fusion components called SNAREs (Soluble NSF Attachment Protein REceptors) at presynaptic plasma membrane in conjunction with cysteine string protein-alpha/DNAJC5 (PubMed : 20798282). This chaperone activity is important to sustain normal SNARE-complex assembly during aging (PubMed : 20798282). Also plays a role in the regulation of the dopamine neurotransmission by associating with the dopamine transporter (DAT1) and thereby modulating its activity (PubMed : 26442590).
